So these reincarnation stories are usually bad. A few have piqued my interest by not being terrible. But then I found this; Dungeon Seeker. It is so hilariously bad I actually laughed at the intro's "twist". Anyone else seen this trash?

You know what, I'm not that mad at the twist, but what I really hate is how fast the got OP. One fucking enemy and he gets 180 levels? Yeah fuck that noise.
>>
>>147050282
And then he dumps everything into one stat. And the special item/status he got makes that stat almost worthless u less I'm misunderstanding what "EVA" is.
>>
>>147050327
He took outright evasion. His skill was basically resist everything.

At this point he's probably ultra fast, has long range due to the gun and is now all but immune to everything.

He did the right thing really.
>>
>>147050435
>Dump all your points in ability to dodge

Feels like he could have distributed his points a little better. Especially since all his stats are supposed to be really bad.

Problem with Japanese fantasy is that we got way too many deconstructions, even deconstructions of deconstructions, when we didn't even have much of the straight thing.

Think on it, we have been seeing parodies and "your typical fantasy story WITH A TWIST" since the early 90s but we barely saw the "typical fantasy story". Well, we saw it but not in anime, in other media like games or lit.

That's why japan sucks much at it, they are deconstructing what they don't even know

I think it can be used in a decent manner.
Take Mushoku Tensei when Rudy passes his Water King? test by setting up the cloud spell to keep itself going.
or GATE where Leilei learns to apply physics to her magic and gets a decent power boost.

Being able to apply current knowledge about natural phenomena to an ignorant world's magic for better effect makes more sense than not being able to.
It can be overused and if not held to a reasonable level it can be shit.
>>
>>147061922
No, he is OP because he grinded that class to max level when he played the game before he was summoned while native people in the world don't push their limit too hard since they have only one life.
>>
>>147062509
yeah i remember him being level 200 and everyone else was like >60 is insanely strong

I think you are overestimating the scientific knowledge of a ~medieval world especially one that has magic.

>I think you are overestimating the scientific knowledge of a ~medieval world especially one that has magic.

If you have magic, you should even more knowledgeable in shit.
>>
>>147063420
Well not necessarily. Having restoration magic for example hampers the research of medicine and so on, since all you need to do to heal somebody is to cast a spell and thats without even knowing how a human body functions and many other details.

They put less emphasis on technological research precisely because magic exists. Kinda how Elder Scrolls lore is set up(Not exactly the best example though) where Magic=techonology.
>>
>>147063420
(dependent on magic system) but if you are a magician and trying to make a stronger spell, say a large ice wall, and between (ice will just appear) and (using the moisture in the air, ice will condense and form a wall) one of these two things should be a stronger mental image and therefore a stronger spell.

>>147063805
this
>>
>>147063389
He is OP because no one specializes in chemical based magic (i.e. Explosion, Frost Blast, pretty much your stereotypical offensive magic spells) in that world. It was even stated in that world that when anyone decided to specialize in Chem Magic they are either an idiot, a pervert, or an incompetent.
>>
>>147064083
sorry m8, that post was talking about Rudy in Mushoku Tensei.

As i am reading the manga now, i am seeing where I got the idea for Isekai Maou, which is when he describes/tests explosion and freeze using scientific terms.
>>
>>147063389
>>147063420
>>147063805
For my part I really like how Kumo Desu Ga handles the "magic skill gap" concept, because there's no real advantage in understanding modern science, but rather from analyzing the principles of magic instead of relying on the World system and treating your skills as an appliance. The massive improvement Ronant shows, after being humiliated and spending just a little time observing Kumoko, even shows that this type of skill is something any of the natives could have picked up if they'd just approached it with a more analytical mindset. And it's relevant to real life because we see this exact thing with computers: People grow up knowing how to use them, but never realize they can analyze them and understand how they work. They just take it for granted that their appliances are reliable.

>>
It sounds like most of these Isekai stories are just quirky /tg/ scenarios that the author played/ thought up and decided to publish WNs out of. Of course due to angsty neet feelings he has to throw in a tragic twist that victimizes the MC and makes hate-able bastards out of all the other characters. Like Shield Hero was.
>>
>>147065889
Well, yeah, and so did this world. It turns out they're running around in the ruins of a technologically advanced civilization. Science and industrialization came and went thousands of years ago. The System was made after that, and in certain ways it incentivizes people not to think too hard about what's really going on. There are multiple conspiracies taking advantage of that. Most of the analytical-minded natives are involved with them. The rest of the overachievers generally wind up crazy, dying in the Hero-vs-Maou wars, or working for the Administrators.

Kumoko IS prejudiced against the natives and generally assumes they're morons, but this has nearly gotten her killed on occasion and it's deliberately painted as a character flaw.

>tfw Dungeon Defense gets removed on sight because of one bad thread made by a tripfag

This is one of the better isekai out there right now, it's not deconstruction (well sort of) but it's just about insane pragmatic people trying to outdo other insane people. Most of the characters aren't made dumb for the MC as almost all of the other Demon Lords seem to possess the ability to think things out for once.

The main heroines don't exist for the MC and are well fleshed out. Give it a try guys

Being self-aware of genre tropes is not deconstruction
Being self-aware of genre tropes and playing them with a twist is not deconstruction
Being self-aware of genre tropes and ironically playing them straight is not decontrucstion

Being self-aware of genre tropes then going into the mechanisms behind them and how they would actually effect "real" people is deconstruction.

Re:zero is NOT a deconstruction of the isekai genre.

A deconstruction would be a world with literal RPG mechanics and then the characters within that would questioning them, analyzing them, and taking advantage of them/them being a characters downfall.

Deconstruction: Character has enough HP left to get hit one more time. He is aware of this and hot blooded. The opponent is also aware of this and also aware that if the character doesn't die with that last hit they themselves will die. The character then receives a random critical hit and the character dies. Everyone else is shocked, including the opponent. The rest of the party uses a phoenix down and it works despite the plot demanding the character to have died dramatically right there.

What are you smoking, that was basically addressing one of the posts complaining that's there so many "self-aware" novels that it's pointless.

You don't even know what deconstruction means as your example is completely fucking retarded, literary deconstruction is just the technique of looking at the question what did the author mean by this. Anyways it's clear that you shouldn't be autistic anyways and use the hijacked version of deconstruction instead of smugly looking down on people.

I stopped posting halfway though, I was going to expand on it by saying "a major plot point is everyone have character revival items so now killing people isn't good enough and now people are either trying to work around revival items/spells or realizing killing never worked question why fight at all"
I'm not trying to write a novel here of couse my example is incomplete because a deconstruction is writing the ramification or reasoning of a trope and it's consequences.

>what does the author mean by this
Then explain how an author elaborating what they mean is a deconstruction because otherwise everything is a deconstruction therefore nothing is.

Unless you're talking about the high school "what did the author mean by this" where the answer is whatever artistic nonsense you can bullshit out in which case fuck you I would rather have more concrete definitions for things.

Yeah, it's a power fantasy and all, but it's more entertaining because it spends a lot more time breaking down the mechanics of a mecha in a fantasy world, and takes a good amount of time on the whole "how do we build a better and better mecha"; cause robot fantasy you know

Also, NOT a harem. Also, protagonist isn't broken as fuck, just stronger than most--because programmer > peasant.

Lvl 999 villager kind of becomes a deconstruction of sorts to that RPG world theme.

The MC questions the system that people take for a fact, the roles given to people when they are born, how people are equally capable of doing evil shit they are accusing the demons and monsters of doing. He also wants to punch god in the face for giving him 5+ stackable finger skills and a chuu2 as fuck sounding skill that basically does nothing. After reaching level 999 he gets his wish in the form of a skill that lets him gain more stats even while having reached the absolute of 999

At least with Japanese Isekai MC has "glorious nippon sensibilities" that makes them different from normal fantasy MCs

MC is reincarnated in a small village on the outskirts of the empire as an innkeeper's daughter.

As she grows up, she tries to become a hero, but fails. She has no combat skills, only minor magic spells used to maintain the inn, she cannot leave her villiage, and the last demon lord died decades ago. She quickly comes to realize that she is just a lowly NPC.

The series then turns into a slice-of-life, as the MC has to slowly accept her role in this world, and discovers the perks of being an inkeeper.

I tried to write some of this before, but once I look over my writing a second time I have an unbearable urge to delete it out of shame.

moral good-natured sort of a pushover MC dies after living a shitty live despite his good deeds

he wakes up in a dark room, he can't see anything but senses another presence in the room. He is shown a naked girl in a room filled with blood and realizes that he's in an area inside said girl. Turns out that girl was put in a ritual where she was sacrificed to summon a demon into this world. It would've worked if not for the MC's soul intersecting the demon and now both souls currently posses the girl. The girl wakes up confused and depressed over the events in her life and walks out unaware of the two souls influencing her but is aware of the powers that she gained from the ritual.

Will the MC put her on the path of good or will the demon corrupt her and take over her body, and will the MC be corrupted by the demon as well?

Only then did Chu Feng destroy her cultivation and took her life.

>Not a trace of ripple appeared in Chu Feng’s heart after killing this woman. Instead, he was extremely undisturbed. That was because he knew that this woman was someone that he ought to kill. If he did not kill her, then who knows how many more lives she would injure in her life.

>>147090641
Sometimes I wonder if cultivators in xianxia/wuxia/xuanhuan have brain damage cause of that shit. And on top of that its repetitive, for example, something like this:
>MC minding his own business, happens to do something to catch the attention of some arrogant asshole
>You're trash, why don't you go back home sucking on your mother's teat?
>MC fucks him up, arrogant cultivator fights back with intent to kill
>D-DON'T KILL ME OR ELSE MY FATHER, THE ELDER OF THE SHITBAG SECT WILL KILL YOU!
>Kills him anyway
>Father appears
>You killed my son?! Prepare to die you savage animal!
>Fight dad
>D-DON'T KILL ME! MY FATHER IS A PATRIARCH OF THE SECT!
>Kills the dad too
>Grandfather appears
>You killed my son, and my grandson?! The heavens will punish a devil like you!
>Kill the grandfather too
>The ancestor of the sect appears
>You are a devil who killed 3 members of my clan without reason! You are an eternal enemy of my sect, no the entire world of cultivation! A demon like you must die!
>>
>>147089390
>Anon, people have just rudely summoned you from another world to do their dirty work. Under what obligation are you actually supposed to do what they want?
Sounds like the plot of Konjiki no wordmaster. Would have been good if the MC was likable. He just ends up insulting everyone he meets and keep saying he's only interested in himself. Dropped it when an anon spoiled that he never gets development and stays the same throughout the entire story.
>>
>>147089242
>Maou no Hajimekata
>Reincarnation
No it's not, the MC never reincarnates you idiot, just uses magic to give himself a rejuvenation day spa treatment.

>>147090796
>Also, their protags actually get laid sometimes which is a plus.
You say that like Narou fiction isn't filled with retarded-ass smut written by virgins.
>>
>>147090945
Every time.

Every antagonist must be an over the top douchebag and the MC can't never not escalate shit.

Shit like Against the Gods is rather tame compared to other works but even then the protag ends up annihilating a whole clan.
>>
>>147090945
thing is if you're strong you don't have to deal with anyone's bullshit

They are guys that do this time and time again and get away with it and if they weren't fighting a Xianxia MC who goes from 0 to heavenly god realm in a year the guy would die miserably and no one would morn him.

Also it's implied and sometimes outright stated that immortality is pretty much forged through battle and conflict so you can assume most people are just trying to find an excuse to fight.
>>
>>147091171
annihilating clans just seem like the logical solution in a world like that.

if the MC just let anyone of them go they'll just fuck with him in a later date.

>>147083276
Just the usual plot of "all people in the world are stupid and have creativity of an average amoeba just so that the MC may look like a genius". And the civilization advancements happen apparently once in a few centuries, probably by pure luck because it's never explained.

The novel isn't as bad as some other isekai, but it's not good either. At least it's not 99% dialogues, so I could read it without throwing up.
>>
>>147091171
Funny thing is, some MCs don't even try to antagonize the douchebags further. They just ignore them until said douchebag does something like try to fuck over the MC or something. Even worse if the MC is travelling with a woman, then every fuckbag in the city wants to rape her and kill him. I mean, I get why the author does this sides to fellate the MC's awesomeness. Its to show that weak kids like Japanese MCs can't exist for more than a day in the world of cultivation, and that you gotta be an absolute badass to thrive. But its still extremely annoying to read again and again.

>>147091176
Yeah that's true, I'm just gripping about repetitive plots. I mean, sometimes its enjoyable to see an arrogant douchebag get his face pummeled in but then afterwards the MC gets chased from heaven to earth by his clan til he gets stronger begins to piss you off, especially if it happens more than once in the story.
>>
>>147091449
genre can use less padding

I swear entire chapters about the antagonist coming in grandly and having the Greek choir telling how great he is and him talking about how much trash the MC is even though you know the MC is going to curb-stomp him the second they get to fighting, but instead take a page or two banting.

it's like a novelization of the DBZ anime

>>147089733
>mc is a fuckboy trap

>>147091708
Its to remind the readers why the antagonist has to go down, to make his descent to the earth even more glorious, and to of course increase the number of chapters the novel has. Why do you think a novel like Martial God Asura has 2500+ chapters and its still on going? From what I understand, Chu Feng still isn't dealing with his parents' shit.
>>
>>147092138
his parents are literally gods currently they just revealed his parents in the 1000th chapter but can't meet them because he didn't pass the level requirements of "being a literal god"
>>

it's just that they are not autistic about it like the MC

>Ze Tian Ji getting translated again
>MC is considering just dropping cultivation since it probably isn't going to help him survive past 20

Well, he's obviously going to get past it, but it's still depressing.
>>
- Mushoku Tensei - a fat loser dies and reincarnates as a baby in a magic world. Decent-ish, readable at least. Written badly, as per genre standard, but the adventures aren't bad and you can see the MC's progression throughout his whole life. Important female characters have a tendency to get reduced to a harem item and/or taken out of the story for bullshit reasons. If you need to read an isekai, this isn't a bad choice though.

- Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - a girl gets transported to a magic world and "reincarnates" as a spider in a deadly dungeon. Kind of interesting up to the point where she gets her cheat abilities, then it just gets boring and then, after she leaves the dungeon, completely retarded. It's also written mostly in a form of grinding log "today I ate this, trained this, levelled up this" etc., so have fun with that.

- Grimgar - interesting premise because the MC and his party are weaklings, there's decent interaction between characters too, however the novel is written (and/or translated) even worse than usual, so you're better off just watching the anime instead.

- Knights and Magic - a programmer dies and reincarnates in a world with mechas. It's impossible to tell how they built their mechas, because they have abstract thinking at a primitive organism level and a simple idea of adding a second engine to increase the power output is considered completely mind-shattering. So the MC uses the opportunity and becomes a genius mecha designer/pilot. Reads better than many other isekai, so you might want to give it a try.

(cont.)
>>
>>147092706

- Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu - the MC is overpowered as all hell, to the point of overpowering legendary creatures right from the start, but is friendly and somewhat clueless otherwise. Too bad he's quite ugly for his new world's standards, and he's hated by humans as well, so he ends up creating a safe haven for monsters instead. The strong point of this novel is that it isn't offensively retarded. Yes, that's a strong point, considering the entirety of the genre.

- Youjo Senki - for once the MC used to be actually competent in his old world, and he reincarnates as a magically gifted little girl in a war-ridden world. He/she soon becomes a national hero at a very young age, but it gets sidetracked by a direct interaction with gods, which annoys MC to no end as he's a belligerent atheist. It's pretty stupid and I don't recommend the manga either.

- The New Gate - a very standard game world reincarnation where the MC is already super overpowered at the beginning (which he earned by beating the said game in the real world). He gets himself a cute pet, helps some girls, slowly builds his harems and so on. Read the manga if you want to see what it's like, and it's just average for the genre standards. At least the MC isn't edgy.

- Chihou Kishi Hans no Junan - only read the manga of this one, you have several people transported from our world instead of one and the MC is actually a (pretty strong) guy from the new world. Since they are in the boondocks, it looks like it might turn into a SoL of sorts, but then some army appears. Oops. Also the characters from the old world are overpowered, but only in one particular aspect.
>>
>>147092706
>>147092744

There are a few others I've read but I can't recall their names really. There's also some stories that *look* like isekai (e.g. MC is brilliant by the virtue of not being retarded like the rest of the world, gets involved in a war and becomes a strategist, gets a harem etc.) but aren't because there is no reincarnation. All in all, the genre is pretty fucking horrible and if you want a good isekai, watch Twelve Kingdoms, then read what wasn't covered by the anime. I still hope to find something good in the pile of shit, that's why I'm still digging deeper and deeper, but all I find, as you could naturally expect, is one turd after another.

>simple idea of adding a second engine to increase the power output is considered completely expensive

I'd make it kind of like the game SOMA. Some sci-fi thing where I make the protagonist unreliable and he doesn't know how he got where he is, but lead on the readers by implenting stuff from game mechanics to make it still feel like an isekai a bit and then the big reveal is that the entire world has gone to shit and he's all alone and becomes miserable.

The title would be King Nothing.

something like this series
http://www.novelupdates.com/series/after-transformation-mine-and-her-wild-fantasy/

except written by nips instead of chinks and actually focus on the premise

I remember someone said there's an Indonesian or Taiwanese novel with that premise I am wondering what it was?
>>
>>147087888
To be honest I've read some so terrible stories I think even I could do better.

The big issue with the current ones is that the protagonist gets some absurdly OP power and that's about as interesting to follow as someone playing a game with a god mode. Well, since the bad guys often get something similar it's manageable and sometimes you just want to read something not too serious.

I'd send the MC with everyday carry into the wilderness. No game menus, stats, divine intervention or anything. Survive, meet the locals, learn magic, utilize modern knowledge and participate in the major plot event(s).

The MC isn't a hero or genius or special entity that can create a reneissance of magic he just learned like the most stories, just a reasonably smart guy. There aren't any otherworlders either, the MC is an oddity, could be worked in the main plot somehow.

Oh, and a dragon girl waifu is a must. There are not enough of cute dragon girls.
>>
>>147095922
make it an monogamous relationship with the dragon girl with no other love interest and you got a deal.

Greeks and Egyptians and a lot of other great civilizations pulled incredible feats, but that doesn't mean that every individual had access to the entire knowledge of their civilization. While it's true that ancient civilizations were amazing, it's also true that for most ancient people even basic writing and reading were almost esoteric.
>>
>>147096848
Well many barely literate peoples believed that writing had magical power much the same way they believed uttering a name of a beast could summon it.

>>147088538

It would be interesting to try other scenarios instead of always going back to regular medieval fantasy.
>>
>>147097152

Exactly, I don't find it difficult to believe that magic programming is such a rare skill even if it's important for the world. In fact, it would make sense that the upper classes try to monopolize the knowledge about it.

This is objectively true, nothing anybody says can convince me otherwise.

I recently read the DM novel and honestly the only reason i didn't do it sooner is because i thought the magic gun shit was stupid, but they abandon that almost instantly. World building is pretty decent, and I don't give a shit for how much Satou has to struggle if at all, i enjoy the world and learning how he'll ascend to godhood so he can get his high-elf lover
>>
>>147087888

I would focus on a healer main character. The villain would be a healer too, but extremely broken and sadistic. He would cast a spell to prevent death on a person only to be able to torture him without worrying about killing him, a mana shield and an incredible mana pool who would make him almost untouchable for most warriors, and reflect damage abilities that ensure that those who get to touch him will regret it. MC would also have to deal with almost everybody treating him like shit because nobody respect healers. Instead of having a broken ability, the villain would be the broken one thanks to his insane combo, and the hero would somehow figure out how to beat it by gathering obscure abilities.
>>
>>147050107

Why did they have to laugh at him when he marched to the labyrinth? It wasn't just mean, it was dumb. Why give him reasons to take revenge, in the unlikely event he gets out of the labyrinth?
>>
>>147097834
Supposedly the dungeon will eat him up in a blink. I think Japs are just really sadistic.
>>
>>147097633

I never understood this "you are a healer? Hate healers!". Who in his right mind is going to talk shit perhaps to the only person that can save his life? Bitching at a healer is a great way to bleed to death while the healer just watches you die screaming in pain with a bored look on his face.

Even if I dislike someone who is a healer, I would never say to his face, I don't want to antagonize the guy and make him refuse to heal me when I am trying to stop my guts from falling from my stomach.
>>
>>147098225

Yeah, that's true. I would address it from the perspective of "you don't have the strenght to defend yourself so your only option is healing me or fall into the hands of someone worse". Or better, just ignore the cliche and have the healers being respected. But Isekai MCs have to be despised by everyone, so I thought I could use the cliche of the healer bitch.
>>
One thing that I hate in Isekai shit is how some MCs will literally sell their souls to the devil only to protect some random girl they meet five seconds ago.

You can have people literally saying that the girl is a mass murderer who tortured and killed thousands, and the mc will still go "no, cute girl can never be evil, must protect!!!".

And then the girl turns out to be complete scum, but since she is sucking the mc dick everything is forgiven.

I remember playing agarest war, your friends were all happy, they were going on a raid to capture riches and cute slave girls, ten for each man, and the faggot mc instead got himself killed trying to protect some random girl who barely gave any fucks about him, fucking hell.

Quite liked how by putting slave choker on the succubus he uses her monster army against the evil god.
I hated how he had his ass saved by the elf loli who travelled from the future tough thanks to the wish she got from clearing the labyrinth.
MC ends up with marrying 4 girls.
>>
>>147079147
Thank you for being the one person to speak some sense.
>>
>>147098330

You can give side effects to the healing ability, maybe the healer takes something from the one being healed, even if it's temporary, some people would be pretty upset with the idea of losing some special ability because of the healing spell, and some would rather die than go a single day without the power they worked so hard to attain.

Come to think of it, tanks and healers are pretty valuable. Tanks take most of the damage, usually shield wielders and healers are obvious. You only need someone who can attack from a range and it'd be a deadly combo.

I'm writing one right now. It's basically masturbatory self-insert garbage, just like most Isekai.

lvl999 villager isn't an isekai either though. Its a parody fantasy. His backstory is a little edgy, but when you meet the character he's given up on the world. I suggest everyone try reading it because there's a lot translated, there's no harem, and the story goes in a rather interesting direction. The author also seriously grows his characters and the way they think as it progresses. I only got that sort of feeling from Kanstoppu!, where it felt like an actual story with characters in it instead of a teenage fantasy about where his dick is going next.

>>147073186

Can I say that those level-up/grinding loops are REALLY, REALLY BAD?

It's like how Shield Hero got insanely boring after the first arc, and then he picked up a caravan and just spends several dozen chapters buying and selling shit.

That is ass-grindingly boring. What kind of epic fantasy adventure is that? I mean, it reflects a weird kind of autism taken right from JRPG games.

Like, SAO at least had the courtesy of not writing about all the time Kirito spent killing wolves or whatever to level up. That would make it even more grating than it already was.
>>
>>147087011
God sounds fucking awful dropped it couple chapters in same shit with spider and re:monster power up crap.

>>147079675

Reincarnation novels are really bad.

Like, there's the one about this dude who dies and becomes a little girl in magical WWI Germany. Why couldn't the story just be about the little girl? Why make her secretly a 40-year-old dude who died?

Is this some kind of excuse for "Oh, if only I could live my life again, I'll do everything right this time?" Because you'd have to be a certain kind of pathetic to be like that. You would have to be longing for death every time you went to sleep.

The funny thing is is how the supposedly generic Dragon Quest got a manga where nothing like that ever happened. The protag grew as the story grew.

You just reminded me of that one story where a weaboo French president got reincarnated to a pre-French Revolution France.
>>
>>147103904

Yeah, because Dragon Quest is in fact a fantasy series. The characters in the actual games don't rely on levels or whatever. Like, say D&D: In D&D, your levels are an abstract thing. You can't repeatedly kill chickens for 1 XP each until you become an invincible demigod.

Just like everyone else.

What have you read?
>>
>>147070065
Not strictly speaking isekai, but since it's a spin on D&D-style RPGs it's within the sphere of the modern isekai.

I wish the epic shojo fantasy would make a come back. Haven't had any substantial one since the Twelves Kingdoms. I might go for a Basara re-read.

>>147090502
>Honestly, it's fucking amazing how insanely murderously vengeful wuxia/xianxia protags can be.
They're just straight off traditional epics. It'd be like taking archetypes straight from the Iliad or the Matter of France. You'd get protags chopping heads left and right like it's nobody's business.
China never went through a phase of toning down the old sagas and the usefulness of mass murder.

>While it's true that ancient civilizations were amazing, it's also true that for most ancient people even basic writing and reading were almost esoteric.
Nonsense, the urban civilizations of the later Antiquity (Greece and Rome would be the most familiar) had pretty high rates of literacy. High enough that people would write dick jokes on walls.
Living in the past doesn't mean being illiterate, superstitious and having rotten teeth. Learn some history.

>>147097152
Many *very* literate people believed writing had magical powers. Do you how many Roman curses have been found in led slabs or clay tiles ? That shit is everywhere.
>>
>>147096157
This: >>147096198

But in more plain terms, it is how they grow stronger. They are literally cultivating chi so they have more. It's how their power level rises.
>>
>>147087888
In my opinion, the most interesting thing about isekai stories is how science interacts with magic, so I would make a GATE scenario with a gate appearing somewhere on Earth, but there would be no army invasion from either side in the beginning, only investigation. The MC who is on the fantasy side would be the one who opens the gateway to Earth, but for completely different reasons than the one GATE came up with since the MC would know what kind of shit the science side has. Also Earth would not be the only would to get a gateway.

First arc would be a fast forward to relevant events in MC's life from childhood to when he opens the gate. There would be world building, a tiny bit of politics to show the situation around that world, showing the magical ecosystems full of monsters and human-type monsters, showing how he came to know about the Earth, reasons why he wants to open the gateway and then finding a way to open it.

Second arc could be a lot of things, but I think the MC enjoying and investigating the Earth would be a nice break from the frantic situation he caused in the first arc. A lot of shit can happen from this point on.

now that some anons were talking about it (and since it's not allowed to make a thread about it) what are /a/ thoughts about Coiling Dragon?

Reincarnated as an otome villainess WNs are more enjoyable to me than most other isekai WNs.

They rarely actually focus on the worst part of isekai (the grinding, overpoweredness, RPG mechanics) and instead focus on character interaction and derailing the original plot. Plus they usually come with the bonus of the MC being cute

MC is a successful businessman who has recently been promoted. Que Deus Ex Machina, he dies with a group of teenagers.

Goddesses appear before them, but the teenagers who died with the businessman cannot see or hear the MC or his goddess. The kids get the normal Isekai spiel and then are handed obviously overpowered skills. The teenagers are off to the fight the demon lord and save the world they've been sent to.

Now, MC is given two choices by his goddess, to either become the demon lord and kill the kids, which would allow him to go back to his own world, or to become a bartender for a failing bar in the starting city, tasked to spend his life helping and guiding the kids to defeat the great evil.

MC chooses the latter.

MC now must help the kids by giving out advice and managing the bar, all while reflecting on his own life before he died.
