I was a Sword when I reincarnated (aka TenKen or Sword Dad) is one of those series I always find myself coming back to. Some other series might have more drama or unique twists, but it's just a good, honest romp through a generic fantasy world, having adventures and fights along the way.If you're reading it for the first time, don't be tricked by the first arc where the MC (who is a sword, obviously) goes around killing monsters by himself by flying around through the air. The series only really gets onto the rails it'll stay on once the MC meets Fran, a wee quiet catgirl who he frees from s*avery, and who becomes his wielder.It's the unique double-protagonist relationship that's the hallmark of this series. While the narrative is all from the perspective of the Sword MC, the "public face" that all the other characters see and interact with is Fran. So it gives a unique perspective where the MC plays backseat driver, directing and worrying about Fran as she fights and is put in danger.Also, most importantly: Fran is cute.
