Nice quints.

And the whole power-gap problem is just expanding with every arc. I want my Tempest SoL back.


Also, what (good) novels has everybody else been reading these days? Been reading Korean stuff because I've finished the Dungeon Master themed JP stories.

>>148011790
There is no translated version of the LN, other than a handful of chapters.
Only the Web Novel is translated.

Ah, okay. That's what I thought, but when I can't find something people are talking about I just kinda assume that I'm too dumb to find it. Thanks for clearing that up!

>You will never be an overpowered slime who transforms into a cute girl

It hurts every time.

>>148011890
Well I recently picked up Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu and pretty much read all translated chapters in a few days.

I can only say I like it.

Turns out that he might me a reincarnation of a girl, Milims mother to be precise, who died was reincarnated as a human man in another world, who then died again as we know and returned back.

Does Youjo Senki really belong to the Isekai genre?

As far as I can see, the world MC lived in simply got a restart or traveld back in time and got the value magic added in. So it is still the same world and not another one.

>>148011890
>Also, what (good) novels has everybody else been reading these days?

Nothing that can be called good.

>>148012386
Still Isekai. Just so happens that the "other world" has an alternate history twist.

>>148012422
Mind explaining why it would still be considerd it is still Isekai?

>still no translation for Yunia's Forest

I just want my comfy fantasy WN.

Binged slime, deathmarch, and Tsuki alongside some random LN in spurts the last few weeks.

I've got mixed feelings at this point. There was a point in the story that I'd say Slime was my favorite but the pacing has really gotten weird. Knowing this is the final arc makes me really worried about the whole thing.

Looking at the story overall. It felt like it started at a good pace but then went super fast. With allies leveling up rapidly but with minimal interesting fights/conflicts. With the current arc feeling like a blur of skill names rather then interesting conflict. There was an awesome element early in this arc where Tempest was finally showing it's power but that's waned a bit.

I do find myself wondering what changes are made in the LN version that might improve some of this.

(Of this type of story. I like Tsuki the most for what that's worth)

>>148012476
Because it's not the same world? He's in a world that's similar to ours at a glance, but clearly different.

It's not really a timetravel story, cause he's not in the same world.

>>148011111
Probably shouldn't say general.

I'd say this arc was better than the last. Seeing Rimuru actually pissed was hype, and it was nice to see the Demons have some background. Yuuki being OP was no surprise, but it felt lucky that he even got his chances.

These authors don't know how to control the power creep

Yuuki is a fuckwad. That is all.

Also, the power levels are getting silly.

>>148012633
Of course not. It's a power fantasy genre after all.

>>148012548
But it is the same world, he was reincarnated into the same world as a little magical girl where magic has been accepted as scientifically proven.

Doesn't isekai just mean another world though? Any reincarnation/transportation to another world would count as isekai. Even if said other world is an industrial one (and Youjo Senki world is steampunk and magic anyways).

Also, what's going to be next for the isekai genre? Just read the first 2 chapters of pic related a couple of days ago.

>>148011890
Good and entertaining are vastly different places, and most of what I can find only sits in 'entertaining' sadly.

If you want good, I'd say

Duke's Daughter

Riso no Himo Seikatsu

Genjitsushugisha no Oukokukaizouki

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~

are good places to start. Also, why are the Korean and Chinese communities so much more organized compared to Japanese? Dungeon Hunter/Defense get near daily updates, while great series like Duke's Daughter flounder for months.

>>148012694
Did his original world already have proven magic?

If so, then you could categorize it as a "time-travel" story, but honestly, I would group them all together as "transfer" stories, considering they play off of similar elements of displacing characters into "worlds" that are normally outside their norm.

>>148012237
The worst it still to come.
Alphapolis is getting bigger, stronger, more fearsome as the days go by.

The future where they just shut down narou and have all their entries by themselves thus ending the LN and animu industry might not be that far off anymore.

>>148012386
i've explained this before and forgot to save it so I won't go into detail but I'd say yes and no.
"isekai" evolved slowly enough that it can be considered both it's own sub genre as well as a much looser setting. like how slash films are horror but play by their own specific rules.

so anything where a person from our world ends up in another world is isekai as a setting, similar to video game protagonists with amnesia. isekai as a sub genre has OP protagonists, RPG elements, japanese cooking, etc.

>Yojou Senki slow as fuck
>Tensei Slime comming to its end
>Isekai Douchouu TLr on a few months break
>About to drop summoned slaughterer

I used to read so many more, but this is what it came to. I honestly could need some entertaining new stuff to read. Recently gave
Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi a read, but the revenge story somehow really falls flat.

Hokuou Kizoku to Moukinzuma no Yukiguni Karigurashi

Is the only LN I've read thus far that I actually want to recommend to normal people. It's a sorta-romance sorta-day to day life non-isekai though.

>>148013157
>>148013387
I really enjoy dungeon defense. It is fairly edgy. The edge is a good bit easier to stomach if you keep in mind that the MC is an unreliable narrator and take everything he says with salt.

The fact is it's a story about a sociopath whose goal is saving the world. He never reminisces about his goal so it's easy to forget that he actually has a greater good endgame. It makes him an excellent villain protagonist.

Why is Barbatos such a best?

>>148013131

Remove what? The chapters are still available on his website.

The lazy king is a pretty good isekai. For one it focuses on the demon world and it's use of rpg mechanics isn't bad. Choosing a sin to practice gives you neat abilities and skills
Pride: Physical class DPS
Wrath: Single Target DPS
Gluttony: AOE DPS
Greed: Use depends on the thing the user wants and it's abilities would focus on it's acquisition. Can steal skills and use them
Envy: Not much is known about Envy other than the fact that it has the ability to copy skills and have long distance surveillance on targets of Envy, this is the sin not seen too much.
Sloth: Tank, has a lot of resistances.

>>148013965
The margrave had a hard life.

>>148011111
A shame he pretty much stopped bothering being a slime after the first volume.

What's the point of having a slime protagonist if he's just going to be in human form 90% of the time?

>>148014081
I wonder what his fate is in the games timeline.

>>148014010
Oh forgot about Lust
Lust: Focuses on illusion and a lot of mind related shit. It's tied with sloth on being useless as most demons have high mental resistance stats (sloth is useless sloth demons laze around while they are getting killed).

>>148013965
I would also like to remind everyone that it was this smug, drunkard, potty-mouthed loli who ultimately won the Dantalianbowl in the WN.

Lalafags, prepare yourself for disappointment.

>>148013886
>The edge is a good bit easier to stomach if you keep in mind that the MC is an unreliable narrator and take everything he says with salt.

What is this? This is the same defense Kingkiller Chronicles fans keep saying.

>>148014124
Possibly died as well, when the Demons finally invaded. Just didn't get defeated as badly, with Danta fucking him over so badly.

>>148014169
>plains win
I'm ok with that.
But no one's going to translate the WN, so doesn't matter.

>>148014095
the only isakai where not being a human matters is the vending machine one
that guy is a straight up vending machine with no human disguise or human form

Dantalion has this whole delusion about always being right. And in a lot of cases, things do go his way, but he's not perfect, even though his ego likes to say he is.

He's quite the hypocrite, in various ways, but for me it's enjoyable to watch him mingle with other people.

Christ this concept is so stupid I now have to read all 35 chapters. Thanks.

>>148014254
Because it's absolutely chaotic. I also like how the environment changes when a demon lords territory encompasses it. If your in the land of a Wrath Lord it's pretty hot and arid; while a Sloth Lords land is somber, moody and cold.

>>148014433
"I’m Back in the Other World?" Is about a girl who was an elf wizard in her past life. She ends up tripping, and falling back into the world from her dreams, 20~ years later

MC is a bit strong, but overall the focus is sweet SoL stuff.

>>148014436
Given the number of "X otaku is reincarnated in a fantasy world and uses his obsession as a cheat skill" I'm surprised there isn't a "train ota gets reincarnated in a fantasy world and invents the steam train" series.

Actually I take that back, there probably is, just hidden away in some damp corner of Narou with shitting writing and tiny viewership count.

>>148014436
the concept is stupid but it stays fairly true to the premise
dont read the sword one its just level wankery as mr sword flys itself around killing shit until he finds a loli catgirl slave. the catgirl picks him up kills shit and levels up

Overall, what is the most broken isekai MC in power in the first vol and what Mc is the most balanced?

>>148015026
deathmarchs probably the most broken if you ignore the lol i have all the powers from all the godesses ones
as for balance who knows

What are some decent ln/wn with cute and op loli as mc?
Slime technically fits. Wiseman is another one but thr translation is slow.

>>148014010
To be fair, Lazy King had no real business being an isekai in the first place. Since the whole thing happens in a fantasy world's Hell you don't really need an excuse for reincarnation and you can swap all the RPG lingo with typical fantasy novel jargon and absolutely nothing would change,

>>148015255
True, but it's saying something when isekai is literally slapped on it and it's better than many in the same genre

Well, the current translations are double translations.

Meaning that not only was there someone masochistic enough to translate this shit into Chinese, there was then someone else crazy enough to translate THAT into English.

So yeah, I think there is. Especially with money involved.
