Ban transported/reincarnated stories

>mangafox

Okay.

I mean cool I guess. Pretty bad that it had to come to that, but there's always going to be imitators when something is successful.

Banning a whole genre is kind of dumb, the problem is not the genre but the low quality lazy writing that most of the genre's writers shit out. They should just review and reject crap entries on an individual basis.

>Banning a whole genre is kind of dumb
This. At this point is has become a genre unto itself rather than just a single story element.

>>143535380
nah, this is good, it would discourage people from writing this shit for the time being, and maybe next time someone writes it, it will be actually good

>>143535434
Fuck off.

>inb4 Streisand effect

>>143535380
It's a waste of time and the volume has to be ridiculous.

>>143535266
No, on the contrary, it means isekai is even much more popular than what people believed.

Prepare to see an increase of it

>>143535380
The problem is absolutely the genre. The "reincarnated into a videogame setting" is crafted from the ground up to be a vehicle facilitating the laziest writing possible.

Instead of having to theorize and describe how the fantastical elements of the world work they can all be written off with "they operate just like the MMOs and RPGs everyone is familiar with". Skills get stronger because they level up. You can take more stab wounds to the gut because you have more HP. Gameifying the world removes a lot of the explanations immersion would otherwise require.

Currency also conveniently comes in decimal denominations with easy value conversions to the Japanese yen.

Adventurer guilds are also a convenient way to justify monster hunting and dungeon diving without ever getting into the real specifics of how a monster hunting and dungeon diving economy would work.

The laziness also extends to exploiting the fantasy setting to make magic convenient catch-all device to gloss over all the details of the world the author doesn't want to think too much about. Laundry and hygiene is taken care of with water magic. Injuries and illnesses are taken care of with healing magic. Slavery is taken care of with contract magic. Dungeons and monsters are formed through magic. Adventurer guild membership cards and stats screens are all magic. Ah, magic sure is convenient isn't it?

And let's not forget that the fantasy worlds that our Japanese protagonists are transported to often speak a language nearly identical to modern Tokyo-dialect Japanese or have convenient translation magic to make linguistic issues trivial.

Everything is just convenient. And the main character will often wittily remark as such to show how genre aware he is.

It's a story element and genre crafted to encourage laziness. It's better off banned from serious consideration in a publication contest.

This would take forever.

>>143535643
All of your points are not inherently isekai problems, but problems of lazy fantasy writing.

>>143535643
That shit can be done even without reincarnation as a plot device.

>>143535266
About fucking time shit.

Now let's go with some original fantasy stories about knights in armor doing knight stuff and suffering.

>>143535742
>>143535728
Reincarnation enables it because it acknowledges that our world exists in the story, which smooths over the transposition of elements of our world videogames into that world, and ensures the protagonist as a hikkiNEET otaku is well placed to exploit knowledge of video games.

>>143535772
A knight cannot put on his armor without assistance.

>>143535827
And there's isekai stories that don't follow these tropes and there's non-isekai stories that do.

It's not iseakai.

>>143535742
>>143535728
nah. "guy from our world goes to another that functions like stuff in broad common knowledge" lets you shortcut having to think about how your world works. it's not impossible to write lazily otherwise, but it's a heck of a lot easier when you have other genres of games and anime doing all the work for you.

>>143535380

You know how this shit tends to work, right?

>send a short sample and summary of your work (generally needs to meet certain rules set down by the publisher; gaining more freedom requires becoming an established author first)
>editors look it over
>either throw it out or contact you

They're not going to sit there and read a hundred pages for every last entry that comes in. There are no shortage of authors out there who want to be published. They simply don't have time to spare to give each of them a thorough look.

They're basically adding "there are too many isekai stories lately, so don't bother, because we'll just throw them out" to the rules.

>>143535850
>A knight cannot put on his armor without assistance.
Magic

>>143535850
>A knight cannot put on his armor without assistance.
Magic

>>143535853
>lets you shortcut having to think about how your world works.
But so does all generic fantasy.
We just had an anime air that just generally said (before every opening): "So here's 3 kingdoms, and there's also a dragon and shit's about to go down."

>it's not impossible to write lazily otherwise
And it's not impossible to put effort into isekai.

>>143535827
>>143535853

This:
>>143535850
>And there's isekai stories that don't follow these tropes and there's non-isekai stories that do.
>
>It's not iseakai.

Also why are you so fixated on games? Plenty of these stories have them transported into real fantasy worlds that have nothing to do with games.

If the author says "we clean shit with water magic" then that is that. Whether the main character is reincarnated from another world or not has absolutely zero affect on that.

>>143535889

Then he can get a transformation sequence too, with pink background and everything.

There's a reason "stuck in a videogame" plots are considered the absolute bottom of the barrel in most fiction-writing circles. I mean, that was the standard some 15 years ago when I first got into writing and it had been the standard for many years prior.

>>143535266
Why would you want to write an Isekai story?

I don't understand this. Isn't it easier to write an original fantasy/sci-fi story especially one with slice of life events in it? Or are writers becoming shit now-a-days?

God I hate when this happens. "Hee, look how genre-savvy I am, look how self-aware I am". Okay, but being genre-savvy and self-aware means fuck-all when you're still profiting off of or otherwise benefiting from something that you know is retarded instead of thinking of a workaround like any competent writer ought to. It's not funny, it's not cute.

Instead of making a story about a hikki/NEET/otaku from our world being transported to a fantasy world, why not just make a story about a hikki/NEET/otaku from said fantasy world?

>>143536128
The thing about getting published is, it's not exactly about quality.
It's about whether the story looks like it's going to sell.

If a story is popular with the community of a website, then yes, it's going to sell.

>>143536110
>Still, it does make things a hell of a lot easier.
Which is why LotR clones are so popular in the west.

You see, it's not about a particular tool that makes it easier. It's just something they are familiar with. When you're an expert on knives, you'll think of your problems in terms of how to cut them, not how to nail them together.

>>143536131
Because the modern world has welfare and social services to ensure that hikkiNEETs can still survive. In a medieval world they would just starve and die or sell themselves into indentured servitude.

>Because the modern world has welfare and social services to ensure that hikkiNEETs can still survive. In a medieval world they would just starve and die or sell themselves into indentured servitude.

Make it a story about a ridiculously rich noble NEET who travels the world to attempt to satisfy his niche tastes. Like, fuck, I dunno. Maybe he likes rare pottery, so he has to invade an orcish nation or find the elusive elves, and therefore has to hire mercenaries to protect and guide him. And when he meets those people nobody ever believes he is after pottery because he is too rich and looks too weird, so the mercenaries are wary all the time and the people the NEET wants to talk with don´t trust him and put obstacles in his way.

>>143536223
Nah, food for the masses has always been a thing in societies that were rich enough to bear the load.

>>143536324
Finds a way?

I don't think isekai on its own is that bad. Now don't get me wrong, the quality of those works is usually at a level where they should've been included in the Geneva convention. And these game world things are absolutely terrible. But reincarnation or whatever is just like dumping an amnesiac somewhere but giving him a predetermined character. It's not that bad, just a good excuse for dumping information about the workings of the world.

>>143536406
Doesn't Chaika start with him complaining about how he's unemployable since he's a mercenary and there's no war going on anymore? That's why he decided to follow her at first, a new war might start and he might finally get to work in his profession again?

Eh, forcing more creativity isn't a bad idea. There are so many ideas for short stories you could have that don't involve going to a another world, or even don't involve fantasy at all. Kamachi came up with enough random writing prompt ideas that he ended up discarding, that he was able to cherry pick some to rescue from the trash heap to fill a couple of LN volumes with.

That's probably the hardest for a 30-40 year old male NEET to write.

>>143535266
Now I'm curious to see what the numbers on published/submitted works in the genre are. I wouldn't be surprised if the default story for teenage wannabee writers is isekai thanks to the popularity of SAO and the like. It's understandable that the contest wouldn't want something like 40% of the submission to be the same story, because that's gonan ruin your jurors.

And as someone who tried writing in the genre once, it's good that it's growth in popularity is slowed down. At least to me, the interesting part is the contrast between the game and real world logic and characters struggling with a world that's both similiar and strange and finding themselves thrown into a different role in life.

But with the popularity of isekai shows, it has been become more and more game-y. Writers who really care about their stories will still write them, even if won't make them popular. But with more space for story-based fantasy those writers will have more persepectives and hopefully will produce better stories.

Both had novelty and good writing, but if a trend develops to just copy and rehash Alice's plot with only minor changes it's better to ban the genre until something unique props up.

The Twelve Kingdoms was/is absolutely amazing and proof that Isekai can be actually great if thought is put into the setting, characters and world.

LNs are looked upon as some of the worst creations in book world.

Same level as harlequins.

No offense but you are really an idiot for reading them.

>>143536844
The magic of Harry Potter is actually kind of interesting because instead of dividing the magic into elements that can be manipulated and making it apparently built from the ground up to be combat-oriented i.e. convenient for a videogame, instead it's a shitload of one-off spells with narrow usages loosely classed into a range of academic subjects that, all in combination, mainly serve as enhancers of quality of life and day to day convenience.

>>143536902
Holy shit

>>143536829
For each good isekai there are heaps of lazily written ones.

But then this ban is not industry-wide just in a contest so that new people write something more unique, this ban is to prevent writers taking the same old safe route and it's good.

Good isekai stuff will always survive.

MC is the typical teenage loser hikkiNEET otaku who gets transported to a fantasy world. He was summoned to that world by a powerful wizard since the wizard discovered that he is the Chosen One, the only one who can save that world from the evil Demon King. The MC spends the next year training, traveling, beating back the forces of evil, acquiring new companions (harem), until he finally comes face to face with the Maou. After a climactic battle, our MC is victorious and the evil has finally been defeated. The grateful citizens of that world offer the MC any reward he could ask for, but he says he says he doesn't need a reward since it was the right thing to do, and only asks to be returned to his own world. The wizard complies, and sends him back.

The MC wakes up in the real world, in his own bed, only to find out that not a single day has passed in the real world. He starts to believe that it was all just a dream and goes to school as if nothing happens.

During class, the teacher announces that they're getting new transfer students. It turns out that the MC's harem missed him so much, they convinced the wizard to send them to his world. The wizard agreed, but on the condition that they adjust to his world and become normal people there. The sorceress loses all of her magic ability, the elf becomes (a very pretty) human girl, the proud warrior tribe amazoness is now just your average tomboy, etc.

It's a high school romcom/harem about the girls competing for the MCbowl and trying to adjust to living in the real world. Oh, and the Demon King secretly survived by fleeing to the real world but in the process lost all her powers and is now just a regular high school girl. She's the student council president and she keeps plotting against the MC, but all of her plans fail miserably and since no one knows her real identity and due to some misunderstandings, everyone thinks she's in love with the MC and just being tsundere (which she is).

>>143537275
He's merely okay as a wizard. He's got snake talking and visions of the bad guy because of mistakes the bad guys make.

He's about average, his only stand out thing that's solely his own merit is quiddich which matters about fuck all.

>>143537338
>>143537380
>>143537346
Guess I was wrong about that, huh. But he's still a fucking legend from day 1.

>>143537329
Felt my blood pressure rising, good job.

>>143537329
I've seen that a few times already.

>>143537397
He becomes a professional hunter of evil wizards later, so either he actually got better or he's fucking stupid.

>>143537346
That's wrong, the dark lord's wand is incapable of hurting Harry because

>when the dark lord tried to kill Harry as a baby, a part of his own soul merged into Harry's
>Harry's wand contains a core taken from the same source as the dark lord's wand
>the wands refuse to fight each other properly

The wand that belonged to Harry was a totally different wand that the dark lord decided to use instead to try and avoid his own wand clashing with Harry's wand, unfortunately he got the wand's line of succession wrong.

>>143537411
Probably just says
>I'm hairy pewter
and they shit their pants

>>143537397
>But he's still a fucking legend from day 1
He was a legend because he was the only human being ever to survive the curse of death, which wasn't even his own doing.

>>143537377
On the scale from Garo to Lodoss War, where would you place it? Above both, beneath or some where in the middle?

>>143537411
By the end they actually said he was really good at defensive magic and his main combat spell would disarm whoever he was fighting.

The death of isekai threads has finally begun?
>>143513452
>faggot mods have apparently seen enough. They have announced that they will be moving threads about novels about "traveling to alternate worlds" or "being reincarnated into other worlds" to /jp/.

>>143537451
Above

>>143536923
Yes but it was never developed and used like a common all-purpose tool.

Shit happens because of magic, and how to fix it? Magic.

Sure its mostly used for convenience, like how Kazuma would use water and fire magic to make tea.

Just like games isekais/fantasies is like
>because games

HP's magic is just as lazy with its
>because magic


There are fucking raging crazy dragon in the worls, but they never shit everything up because magic.


Also, just noticed that Harry Potter is also high-school battle. It could use some harem to be perfect.

>>143537487
Nice. Ill come to haunt you if you lied though.

>>143537444
Well, that don't harm his status any.

>>143537444
His parents.

Don't forget his parents are also fucking rich and left him a ton of Galleons in wizard bank.

>>143537517
That's what I'm counting on.
(I'm lonely)

>>143537524
They weren't rich. They were upper middle class.
It looked like a lot because of the other bank account he got a look at and because kids don't need a lot of money.

>>143537517
Do that but make a 12 Kingdoms thread. It gets discussed far to rarely on /a/ (maybe a good thing since threads are devoid of shitposters)

>>143535643
well this is all just straight up lazy writing though.

What really kills the genre for me at the ENDLESS one man Tsukkomi routines the MCs seem to narrate their lives with. The only thing worse are the endless 4th wall breaking comments they make as well. "what wait? can someone explain this to me because I'm lost!!!!!" Neight of which are slightly funny in ANY language (no it's not a translation problem). Worse is how it's endless, the one man Tsukkomi never stops. It's literally every other sentence. It makes me want to kill myself when ever I start one of these piles of junk.

>>143537509
>it could use some harem
Ginny, Cho, and Draco

>>143537469
>>143537469

>have any idea how to moderate /a/
Pick one. They lost all my trust after the nipplemod incident.

>>143537592
But Draco is already in love with Darkness.

>>143537469
>faggot mods have apparently seen enough.
>faggot mods
There's your answer.

>>143537469
I was just an ordinary /a/ thread, but suddenly I was reincarnated into a fantasy board?!

>>143537656

>>143537338
You guys clearly never read Harry Potter. He's the son of 2 talented wizards, gets above average grades and more than above average ones in practical stuf, and ends up becominga an auror, one of the wizard ELITE.

>>143535643
Not to mention the fact that for a lot of young people it's a really easy way to get them to self insert because it's a kid from their age demographic from modern day in the fantasy world, so they can much more easily project onto them.

>>143537730
>He's the son of 2 talented wizards
James Potter was a riajuu who became an animagus, and Lily Potter was a potions expert. Hardly cheat-tier wizards.
>gets above average grades
He got top grade in DADA, above expectation in Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, and COMC, acceptable in Astronomy and Divination, and shit-tier in History. That's a somewhat above average spread but hardly cheat-tier.
>and more than above average ones in practical stuf
A kid who's trying to prepare to fight the dark lord gets good grades in "fighting dark lords" subject, what a surprise
>and ends up becominga an auror, one of the wizard ELITE.
He basically joined Wizard FBI. That's not really wizard elite.

>>143535380
no, you're dumb
it's banned just for this short story contest.
