The Practice Effect by David Brin. It’s an isekai (it’s not anime, but it’s an isekai) where things get MORE useful when you use them, reversing entropy.
Sentenced to Prism. MC is sent on a mission to a world inhabited by silicate based life forms. Shenanigans ensue. Mildly autistic coded MC.
Resurrection Inc. The dead are resurrected as mindless zombie robots. Sometimes it goes wrong and the dead regain their memories. The MC does. Hijinks ensue.

Mistborn Chronicles - an orphan gets super powers in a very messed up world. A group recruits her for a heist.
Loved Sentenced to Prism! I loved the plot of the Mistborn Chronicles, but I struggled a bit with the audiobook narrator. Maybe I should actually read them…
I read them and flew through them, despite being a slow reader. The second arc though (Wax and Wane) is one of my favorite series ever. It’s set in the same universe, just centuries in the future and is basically a western. They’re great fun to read. Would recommend.
Books. Multiple.
