Definitely deserved for Frieren. Episode 7 was probably my favorite episode yet. The Kingdoms of Ruin dropping entirely off the chart is surprising considering that it premiered at number 1 on the chart and stayed high until suddenly its gone. Also interesting to see Undead Unluck and Dead Mount Death Play jumping up the chart so much.

I was surprised Kingdoms of Ruin was on there to begin with

Would I like Freiren if I like JJK, Demon Slayer, Dorodora, FMA:B, etc?

no idea, it's quieter, slower, and more contemplative than any of those. but it's still a fantasy adventure story.

give it a shot if you're curious.

Really incomparable, but definitely worth a shot

Those are extremely different compared to Freiren. Freiren is a story of time and connection, not action or fighting. There still is action, but it is always there to support the story or a character. If you watched SummerTime Rendering, while also a very different anime, the way action is involved is similar.

Either way though, no harm in trying it out for a few episodes. You might find something new you like, or you might not. Only way to find out for sure is to try it for a couple episodes, and all you lose is 40 minutes.
