No he doesn't, he's fucking retarded. All he does is copy what is recorded in history or think up a silly method to counter it and still barely get by the skin of his teeth. Furthermore, half the time he just does what the recorded historical people do as an exact copy acting like it was his plan when it clearly wasn't. The genderbent girls are a bajillion times inferior to the recorded history counter parts and would even have a hard time against the likes of Andrew Fork.

I mean if Saru from Nobuna was genuinely gud at war, then fucking Liu Mang from that MFILILB isekai is above Lelouch then, plus a lot manlier. And that's clearly not the case.

>>150120541
That really wasn't it, if you aren't shit posting and actually mean what you said you lack reading comprehension. He wasn't smug though that's obviously the comedy in how he comes off as smug as shown in the manga. His inner thoughts simply rationalized way too much and basically was a fancy way of saying "Prove you're god and not just some very powerful being like the devil or an alien, why are you acting like this when I just got killed do you do that for everyone?" and then God fucked his ass cause he's so out of tune with humans he has no hope talking to the autistic HR guy.

He's not some atheist or anything like so many idiots on /a/ believe, he clearly believes in the Devil, so by nature he has to also believe in God. He's just venting very very hard and making cheap remarks while having false hope (which quickly shattered) that maybe he would get compensated.

That attitude of his stays the exact fucking same after he reincarnates, he still accesses people the same way as he's always done like a machine, extremely consistent to a fault. That's why he was fucked over by God, cause being a guy who has lived his life only one way, he could only communicate the same way.

Which naturally is totally foreign to you guys, the opposite of someone climbing the ladder.

>>
>>150122633
Shouldn't the opposite of that be best? An isekai where he did everything right and thus fullfilled your all wishes?
>>
>>150122718
That makes sense, but the opposite can also work well. Think of it this way. Spent most of MT thinking about how I would function in that world and how I would interact with the characters. I did so even after finishing the books, so it successfully brought me into the world and fulfilled my "wish" by having me mentally replace the MC in the story with myself and make my own decisions.

Was honestly sad when they gave him a generic mecha body he could call on whenever. Liked it when he was limited to his current body's capabilities.

Also Hans no Junan is best wish fulfillment, hot blooded country girl gets to be superman, yankee farmer gets to have his own monster farm, aging yakuza gets a perfectly young body and can follow his love of cooking, lonely and stressed high schooler gets to have true friends and be someone depended on.

I think the plot was too rushed as it was
especially the arcs after the second Orsted battle

>read Asura arc
>expect an arc Machiavellian political intrigue and fleshing out of the kingdom and its politics
>arc pretty much gets finished once they reached the capital

>read Millis arc
>expect a big upheaval and family drama with opposition that uses traps and poisons rather than outright brute strength
>lol misunderstanding lol

>read final arc
>expect a fight that will cover the entire world as well as two full arcs about the Ocean continent and Heaven continent
>get pre-arc wrapping up everything and settling the beef in a country in the middle of nowhere
>pissed that they made Gisu an antagonist from out of nowhere but think he will be a cunning antagonist
>none of his plans works and he gets quickly fucked over

You got the Adventure arc, School arc, and Labyrinth arc that seemed fully fleshed out and memorable then you got the last few cramped arcs that felt more like a summery.

Unless it has broke the mold somewhere down the line, but I'm not aware of so.
>>
>>150125127
You're right, but those are kind of unrelated to the speed of the plot, just bad decisions from the author. The had all the volumes in the fucking world to develop and finish a story correctly, yet he spent so much time showing Rudi convincing his two wives to have a threesome with him.
>>
>>150124426
Actually he did miles better than what Chinese authors do. You get this interesting story with each chick and as soon as she marries the mc she becomes obedient chinese wife #48585. Only very few books have kept the chemistry going. In Mushoku Tensei at least you got moments with each girl where you actually felt like they were a couple. Except Eris. I don't know what the fuck he did to Eris.

>>150125127
That's because Mushoku Tensei is just an introduction. The main series has yet to be written and that one will include the ocean and heaven continents, the dragon whatever dungeon, the hell dungeon, etc. I can't wait for all the Greyrats' interactions. I'm just scared about the true mc-kun.
>>
>>150124954
Completely disagree. Sylph and Roxy evolved well. Eris barely even talked anymore.
>>
>>150125127
Mushoku tensei had the potential to be as complex and good as Steins;ate if it was made into a visual novel. Being written in the Ln medium truly held it back.
>>
>>150125339
He'll be good because he's got years of experience writing under him now.
>>
>>150124854
This, and also if he never married, and if the story didn't try to focus on family (making it larger, that is). Mushoku tensei sounds so good on paper, but it's executed so poorly it hurts.
>>
>>150125238
that's an exaggeration Rudi didn't spend that many chapters on his sex pursuits

really the problem was that after getting a house, three wives, and a small fortune there was not much more reason for MC to develop. All shifting the reason to the battle of Orsted and Hitogami did was shift the focus away from the MC made him less important

Every LN ever
>>
>>150125460
What? The main reason I like MT is because of the focus on family. If it didn't have that it'd just be another generic light novel. His relationship with each girl, the way they handle being a polygamy, family dinner, his conversations with his father, taking care of his mother, his children, sisters, friends. That's the whole point of the story.
>>
>>150125598
That's the whole point of the isekai genre. To find happiness in another world because you hate this one and being an OP moron gets boring. You need a family to keep you going especially when internet doesn't exist. MT is the best because of this and it keeps the story going instead of just being a window into how they lived happily ever after.

Mushoku Tensei was a reincarnation story and it followed his Rudy's life from start to finish. Can't ask for more than that.

I've read countless stories where the mc goes to another world and none have done it like Mushoku Tensei. I don't know, I just liked the whole family relationship. I thought it'd just be MC going to explore the world and more political intrigue once again but I got way more than that.

Moonlight Sculptor, also MC officially earns every thing by working 1000% harder than everone else - in tht end it summs up to him: being strongest superman both irl and in game, having for waifu a most beutiful person on earth, winning and owning 70% of world real corporate assets.

Its however ultimate wish fulfillmenet, since his wishes were limited to being able to afford to pay electric bills and for sisters education and grandmothers healing - both fulfilled very early.
>>
>>150125940
Explain to me how he worked harder than everyone else and became so successful. I thought Moonlight Sculptor was shit.

>>150125940

>>
>>150125982
He did work harder than everyone else. But he also has the good old MC's devil's own luck. ANd the inhuman capacity to stay up 72 hours straight. I think it was 72 hours. Or maybe it was only sleeping like 1 hour. Am I confusing stories? I've read so many that are similar that they've all blurred together.

>>
>>150126015
Tell us more. Also, how is he not living a nightmare by 72 hours what the fuck
>>
>>150125982
He worked hardest doing 10x jobs since early age since was poor fag. Became best player in one MMO by playing obsessively, sold account for millions which all immidiately went to debt.

Proceed to spend a year preparing for next MMO researching absolute everything about it, training irl in dojo obsessively becoming one of the world best real fencers just to be effective in MMO.

Spent weeek 25/7 without sleep and food hittingi training dummies as insane first time he logged in the game to raise stats. Spends EVERY single free minute doing something to raise skills - crafting, training etc. Everyone who played with him reports its impossible to keep up with his inhuman pace and endurance as he perfects the process to be inhumanely effective - not a single second of rest/wasted.

etc. The guy is a machine.

So it's not even an isekai with mmo mechanics but just a guy playing mmos? Why read a ln about a guy playing mmos when you can just play an mmo?
>>
>>150126027
>>150126051
I read it years ago. From what I remember he was a very famous player in an old mmo because he achieved the highest ranks in everything but was always alone. The truth was that the guy didn't sleep shit and just kept playing nonstop for days without heath repercussions. He sold that account for a lot of money but got screwed over and then entered the new vrmmorpg where he decided to once again play non stop to fix all his problems. He takes like a year to study all he can about the game before it comes out, trains in martial arts and form a game plan to do everything perfectly once the game starts. The story is actually slightly more original than others and it takes an interesting spin where he can create huge sculptures that give special effects.

>>150126171
Isekai is "another world", not "rebirth" as many falsely thing. So VRMMO books also fall in this category, as VRMMO worlds are still "different world". And why read? Because its fun.

Example would be >>150125785 , a perfect wish fulfilment manga of an old guy just raising his char and having fun.

>>150126069
>>150126184
How do you study for a game that hasn't come out yet?
>>
>>150126171
Because unlike the mc in Moonlight Sculpture, you'll never be a special snowflake in an mmo anon. You'll never command an army of monsters to rain fire upon your npc enemies in real time while every watching through screens in awe. I wish it wsan't so, but that's how it is.
>>
>>150126253
Do you play mmo's at all? They always release a lot of information about it before hand.

It did come out at the time. He was just studying to make a proper start in it, as well watched if its the worthy time investment as his primarily goal was to make money. Like eSport players assessing upcomming titles for potential.

The year wasted resulted though in him starting behind others, so while he played most efficiently - the others were already 400-500 levels and huge guilds running a continent.

He never planned to compete with them initially though, all he wanted is to become gold farmer - farming dungeons for loot and selling it, to earn money irl. Didnt went quite like he planned though, things escalated quickly.
>>
>>150126342
The moments where he focuses on money are boring as fuck But it's always fun when things spiral out of his hands and shit hits the fan quickly.
>>
>>150126092
Has it ended yet?
>>
>>150126259
But he can command army of monsters to attack you in real life too. 500 "Geomchi"s aka "Swords" - korean to 500 martial artists, ready to beat everyone irl for sake of their "youngling".

He also has super AI with army of drones potentially under his command, and 70% of world assets and essentially controllingi whole planet if he becomes Emperor - since the corporation that created the VRMMO also invested in robotics, and bought every other relevant bussiness on planet and controls goverments and ready to destroy opposition with Robot armies they developed too.

Of course thats if he survives genetic altering procedure supposed to make him Superhuman if he 'wins' a Game

Does /a/ not read xianxia at all? There's xianxia's that are isekai too. You read one xianxia and you've read them all. And they're all the epitome of wish fulfillment. The mc ALWAYS wins. He'll ALWAYS get all the hot chicks. He will ALWAYS become the most powerful. He will ALWAYS win the arguments.

And yet there's something so freeing about those stories. No having to look behind your shoulder hoping the author won't decide to screw you over. No fear that the mc will be cucked. No fear that the mc will be a wuss. You go in knowing what you'll get and yet for some reason just can't stop enjoying it. At least that's my case.

Putting aside the fact that you have shit taste for even having in mind SAO's 4th arc, I don't fucking know. I don't know and I don't care about SAO's 4th arc. What I do know is that if SAO had ended after Aincrad was cleared then it would have been an Isekai. That is even if you include a conclussion act in the real world because it would not influence the core story.

SAO is the epitome of wasted potential and of milking a dead cow.

I love the series for always keeping the shit going out of control for him but also dislike it for giving him the "key components" early on in the quest lines/arcs and they turn into "I win/solve the quest" bit too easily.

And that early series "I'm not good enough for her/she just wants to murder" me repetition got old pretty fast.

All in all it's fun to see him come out as a winner in the long run but it certainly isn't without flaws, subjective dislike or not.

There's plenty to point out, including objective inconsistencies but everyone who complains usually falls into the butt hurt fanfiction group cause after all, a plot hole here and there isn't gonna make most people mad and autistic.

And yet MT is still less plagued than the likes of Overlord with the moralfaggotry. well maybe that's just cause of the lack of threads.

Knights and Magic

MC is a programmer and mecha otaku. He really loves mecha. He loved them since his childhood.

Accident happens (aka: Infamous Japanese Truck, or a van in this case). MC dies and is reincarnated into a magical setting. As a kid he's all gloomy and shit until he sees that this world has mecha of its own.

He aspires to be both a pilot and engineer so to build his own machine while kickstarting a streak of innovations that results in creating new machines. He also uses his knowledge he got in his previous life and combines it with the rules on how magic functions there.

Needless to say, he hit the jackpot.

>>150125940
>MC officially earns every thing by working 1000% harder than everone els

By literally doing so much shit in the span of a day he basically lives 1000 hours in a week. LMS is funny as hell and it has it's charm, but the series was never about him suffering and going through trials as a serious theme, but more of a comedy point like how no matter how hard Tanya in Youjo Senki works she just gets more work pushed on her as a result in order to maintain a facade.

LMS's charm is in how petty a man Weed is, and through that sheer pettiness that is so exaggerated (as is all praise and comparisons seriously it's wuxia xianxia cum with the force of a thousand suns exaggerated) that you can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it's hammed up. It's very clear that the author doesn't take it seriously because whenever he wants to he turns Weed into a saint and an actual human whenever he wants, then finishes teasing and turns him back into the overgrown entertaining manchild that he is.
>>
Not really isekai, but onii-sama
>>
>>150126342
>- the others were already 400-500 levels

That's wrong, the highest levels at the time weren't even 400 when he started. In fact, up until Rainbow changed his blog site the highest level player wasn't even 600.

Weed is so godly even within the first 100 chapters you basically get the idea that he would shit all over the top players if he simply had a character close to their level, and by the time he gets close to mastering sculpting he's easily the strongest guy if he's allowed to make use of his shit since as a sculptor his true value is in his massive army of broken monsters but he's too petty to let them die just to stroke his epeen, those monsters gotta make him money.

death march
>>
>>150129645
He starts when the highest level player just reached 400. By the time Weed himself reaches 400, Bardray is past 500 already. The only encounter they had in translated LNs yet, Bardray wins (also has support of the healers and buffers, Weed himself admits at any point of time that Bardray is stronger).

Weed constantly cries he got a "bad" proffession - since with his dedication, with pure combat class he`d be even stronger. As well wasting levels on making living sculptors, making him essentially "stuck" on specific level.

Benefits of his proffessioon and his skills allow him to beat most players, but he still at current point would lose 1on1 to top tier combat players - and its not just Bardray. Time sculpting is OP and his rl fencing skills and rection allow him to outperform players that "just" have levels and equipment - but he`s still not too strong.

For fuck sake, Seu Young, his waifu - is lot higher level than him and can beat him 1on1 despite all his tricks and skill.

His real benefits are more the side benefits he gained raising sculpting, doing quests, ability to transform (which actually is bad against single strong players) etc. Bag full of tricks and a lot of luck.

For example protecting Morata is basically authors asspull of having 20 million newbie players zerg - he is neither responsible for nor truly controls.
>>
>>150130172
I'm current with the WN and let me tell ya

This is some real gutter trash

>>
>>150130192
Bardray with his horse would never beat Weed with his sculptures.
>>
>>150130249
Thats not 1on1. Bardray with his Royal Knights, would easly do against Weed and his sculptures. (Though as it stands now, Bardray will just execute and betray his Royal Knights because of Emperors quests - he insanely raised stats due to that though, so even more OP atm).

At current point, Weed would even lose to Myul 1on1 - he has to resort to tricks and "unfair" tactics to win. No proplems with it at War, but Weed still not the "strongeset".

For example, the Swordnoob-1 would likely beat Weed too (as he can irl as well), unless Weed utilizes some knowledge about the game to negate his combat skill, since Swordnoobs are noobs still.
>>
>>150130358
>Thats not 1on1.

How the fuck does that work? Maybe if Bardray's royal knights are NPCs sure, but those are players. Sculptures are no different than summons or a beast tamer taming a dragon as an ally. How the fuck can you not count them under his might? That's retarded logic.

Without Weed, who is their parent, none of them would even exist or in the case of the ones he just stole, they would still be stone. It's NPCs man.

Now Bardray can use his riches to buy as many npcs as he wants, but he still wouldn't do shit against the sculpture army. That's not even counting Van Hawk and Torido.

Otherwise why the fuck would I say Bardray and his horse? Do you think that horse is a player?

TV series.

Alicization is technically more isekai than the original arc was, but they're still going into VR world.

Alicization is a VR world, with sentient AI that developed their own society. These sentient AIs are based on human souls, and have no idea that they're living in a machine or are anyway artificial.
>>
>>150120148
>without trying to break the mold

Screw that. Break the mold the way only China can, they developed their own isekai subsetting.

A mission based system that isekais the characters into other fictional worlds, to alter plots and fight the world, for rewards and for power.

It's like Gantz, but going full retard in a good way.
>>
>>150124756
Too bad the new stuff isn't getting translated like the Laplace spinoff which does wonders in the sense of world-building and seems like a setup for the sequel.

>A mission based system that isekais the characters into other fictional worlds, to alter plots and fight the world, for rewards and for power.
Got any examples? I only vaguely remember something similar in There's a Pit in My Senior Martial Brother's Brain, where a side character's job was to pretend to be a divine messenger in different Chinese web novels to forcefully steer their plots back on track whenever anything went wrong because of a different reincarnating/transporting/possessing/time-looping character popping up.
>>
>>150148704
Terror Infinity and The Ultimate Evolution.

It's similar to Gantz, in that there's multiple people in a team being sent into worlds to do whatever.
First world for Terror Infinity was Resident Evil: The Movie, the objective was to survive through a certain plot point in the movie, and make sure the plot relevant characters aren't killed.
One of the side missions was to prevent the death of a cast member that canonically dies.
>>
>>150146494
I can completely understand why people fellate RE:Zero because it doesn't have to excel on its own merits to stand out, it just has to be better than the other isekai. Which is easy. For example, having an actual fallable protagonist with legitimate struggles is a no brainer for actual fiction but it's kind of a rarity for this shit.

Like that part where he mouthed off to those knights and got his shit kicked in over and over. It was so fucking satisfying. It was the most logical thing in the world, but the other glorified fanfic authors wouldn't dirty their pretty princess protagonist for their fuckups like that
>>
>>150149621
And they had to beat him up else the other knights would demand his blood.
>>
>>150126069
>>150126015
lul talking only about the start of the whole thing. It gets worse as it goes on.
>>
>>150149765
Yes, that was even better. Instead of being a cartoonish thug for the protagonist to fuck up later, he got his ass kicked by a completely reasonable guy. And it got even better when instead of immediately becoming memebesties with memeboy, Subaru holds a petty grudge against him like an actual person would.

RE: Zero is an amazing exercise in showing just how much isekai gets wrong, and how popular a series can get by correcting just a little of it
>>
>>150147676
>technically more isekai
In what sense? It's still a simulated world within ours just like all the other MMOs, the only difference being that many of the players don't realize that they are players.
>>
>>150151523
its more isekai because kirito doesn't remember when he got into the game and the world is fully emulated from imagination and not from data.

i hate myself for knowing this
>>
>>150150228
I think also the fact that his power is not something that makes the whole world a cake walk for him.

You usually get one where the guy has the most advanced/unique magic, or alternatively, he gets a common power but uses his old world knowledge/science to make it stronger than usual.
>>

Yeah, aside from his one blessing/curse and a cell phone outta charge he has jack shit. Bad at swordplay, sucks at magic.

Oh. I completely forgot about this which I can totally shill

This is about a girl that dies in a car accident and basically becomes the Princess' royal maid. Because of this she is hired by the court mage to raise a little girl that has powerful magical ability.

Since she liked doing housework at home and shit (and the mage is pretty good looking) I think its pretty wish fulfilling.

Nah you can have more girls, just limit them in a few each volume.

>>
>>150120148
Honestly one of my favorites was Oda Nobuna. I liked how the MC was kind of a history/Oda buff with a good understanding of the broad historical outlines facing Oda and was able to use certain modern-day and video game logic to get ahead. But at the same time, as his actions began changing history, his future knowledge was less and less useful, which meant his "future knowledge" couldn't be counted on and he had to begin relying on his own natural skills to face and overcome problems.
>>
>>150155738
I think it was made to paralyze her or something.

The MC doesn't understand magic at all and can't use it. The manga is through her eyes so we really have no idea either
>>
>>150120148
I'll say this about Mushoku Tensei this, I enjoyed pretty much the whole story and the ending was actually satisfying. So it may be my favorite Isekai story. Top 3 easily.
>>
>>150155535
"girl likes MC" is the beginning of wish fulfillment tropes to bait the readers into biting their secret fantasy (being liked). it happens in non-isekai, non-harems, and non-romance series because the MC is the self-insert character, which gets boring after a while because of the lack of variety in romance, romantic interests, and shallowness of affection (hurr durr he's kind). an isekai where all the main girls aren't dripping wet and ready to bare the MC's children would be original writing and fresh.
>>
>>150155596
>I mean, he brings things from jp to magical world?
and vice versa
He uses magic to do his real world job better
he develops "stamina" potions in the other world and sells them in the real world.
he brings food and spices from the real world to sell them in the other world.

and so on

>>150155778
I got real pissed and dropped at the end of the arc where he didn't even get a kiss from nobuna because he was too dirty and disgusting

they never did. girls liking the MC and the MC being OP as fuck are pretty standard in series these days. only re:zero refuses to make the MC stronger and his "cheat ability" of going back to the last save point is more of a curse because repeatedly dying in traumatizing ways quickly degrades his mental stability. his magic also fails, exploding into a cloud of smoke or something, which is fairly useless.

>tsukuyomi tells him hes the mediator between worlds
>tells MC that he has to become a hero to the other world
>transports him with godess
>godess is a bitch
>tells him hes ugly and doesn't want a hero like him
>sends him to the edge of the world 1KM in the air because shes an asshole
>tsukuyomi being the glorious nippon god he is saves MC
>gives him all the blessings he can before his energy is depleted

>>150152876
The story itself is pretty lame. The author, while intelligent and educated, can't stop showering the reader with walls of exposition and poli-social criticism to the point that Tolkien or the Old Testament reads like a Sesame Street book.

Nigga just can't shut up.

As well, the series badly underutilizes how cute Tanya, the MC, should be, with how autistically an ass her inner personality is.

Aesthetically, it's great. Functionally, the series is actually a let down. It's like a beautiful girl with a horrendous personality (much like the MC).

I Reincarnated Into a Vending Machine

He, who was an authentic Vending Machine maniac, died from a traffic accident while protecting a vending machine. He, who had expected that his life was finished, woke up in a lake shore surrounded by abundant nature. He didn’t understand what had happened to himself. He only knew that he had become a vending machine. Alone in the labyrinth of another world… As he wanders alone, he meets a lone girl who causes the story to change.

im gonna be legit. unironically, i loved eugeo from SAO's Alicization arc. not because he was well written, but because he felt like a legitimate friend, who had a legitimate purpose, and he felt human (and he was an artificial soul lmao). i was so intrigued when they made him be corrupted by the brain washing of the administrator he didnt betray them, and he didn't betray his dream either, the high administrator promised him he would bring back his Childhood friend if he worked for her.
i was also incredibly upset when he died, and i hope kawahara at least keeps him dead and doesn't hack him into the series like he did with other charcters. i stopped reading after he died so im not gonna see if he revives or not

>He's a pretty good MC
>He also develops a lot

No he's not and he develops enough, not a lot.

His main regrets from his past lives were:
That he never tried hard enough, and that his family abandoned him.

Both of those got resolved (he got recognized due to his hard work, and he was born into a loving family and also later became a head of his own), rather early in the story.

Later he just serves as a deus ex machina in a conflict between Orsted and Hitogami.

Also reminder, about "LE TIME WIZARD, XD" asspull, that saved Lara's fetus from being btfo by magical rodent aids.

how is it an asspull if it's solving a problem that only became known because of the time travel? If there was a long ongoing quest for rudeus that suddenly at the end was solved by time traveler turning up and fixing shit that would be one thing but it's literally just Rudeus living a happy life when a time traveler turns up and goes "Things are about to go shit, you should try and stop that"

You can't really know at this point. I mean they are adapting something like Knights and Magic of all things. I'm sure they could find something better than that.
I wonder if they decided to because of the mecha mainly.

As much as I dislike it, surprised Arifureta still doesn't have one. The thing already keeps selling for like 30k+ and for a fresh series adapted straight from narou it's amazing.

Alicization is actually readable for a fair bit, alot better than the first arc and goes full Isekai with best bro Eugeo.

>>150159329

It's a movie about time traveling robots, ffs.

>>150159421
and in a setting with fucking magic, gods and reincarnation into a different world, time travel is just too out of the realms of possibility?
>>
>>150158638
Overall, various isekai start with a overpowered mc that can do anything, adds innumerable girls like trophy's and there are no sense of progression.
His development is not very notable but is progressive, like in the firsts vol that he thinks that is a genius that can do anything, but is defeated easily vs his father and the thugs and in the demon continent he felt inexperience and how vast is the world,
He don't change completely, that's good, because any person after living 30-40 years cant fully change his personality or his for of live
>>150159197
Arifureta for now have a a good ending point (vol4 where he re-meet his childhood friend) but need a least 2 more vol for a adaptation (because they need to sell the continuation of the anime) and with that passing, the LN is going to end in vol12-14
>>
>>150158638
>No he's not and he develops enough, not a lot.
I rather like him, so I'd say he's good, but even if you disagree with that, saying he doesn't develop a lot is pretty much a lie.

>That he never tried hard enough, and that his family abandoned him.
He had more self esteem issues than that, and it wasn't just that his family abandoned him, he was the one that didn't love his family back and was a piece of shit of a human being. That's why Paul's death was such a big shock for him and made him regret what he did to his parents in his past life.

>Both of those got resolved (he got recognized due to his hard work, and he was born into a loving family and also later became a head of his own), rather early in the story.
His development was only finished with Paul's death, 2/3rds into the story.

I suggest you read this again, since you're clearly talking out of your ass.

>Also reminder, about "LE TIME WIZARD, XD" asspull, that saved Lara's fetus from being btfo by magical rodent aids.
That wasn't an asspull at all though, you're giving it a lot more importance to the time magic than it actually had, the point of that scene is not just saving Lara, but setting up Hitogami as an antagonist.

>Later he just serves as a deus ex machina in a conflict between Orsted and Hitogami.
That's just the endgame, it's still very much his story until we get the new MC.
>>
>>150158921
He's one of the best part of the series, along the world building and some of the plot twists.

Most Isekai MCs are either too powerful or completely unrelatable, Rudy acted like a completely normal person most of the time when he wasn't acting like a 40 year old creep.
>>
>>150158045
I'm not far in but this is actually quite good. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>
>>150159563
Not that anon, but time magic was an asspull.
If the author was really going down that route, then he should have committed another arc showing Rudeus path down suffering before time jumping.

I agree with everything else you said. Rudi has been an interesting character who always took others into consideration and it was his relationships with others that kept me reading.
>>
>>150159650
>rudeus
>not overpowered
rudeus is grotesquely overpowered. wasn't he the strongest in his academy at age 16? everyone was afraid of him and no one could stand up to him.
>inb4 t-there are people stronger than him! ;_;
that's not how it works
>>
>>150159716
>Not that anon, but time magic was an asspull.
>If the author was really going down that route, then he should have committed another arc showing Rudeus path down suffering before time jumping.

What route though? The time jumping was just one small event in the grand scheme of things, it's most important purpose for the plot wasn't even knowing about time magic, it was presenting Hitogami as an antagonist.

It could've been presented in any other way and it would've had the exact same effect, because time magic ended up being completely irrelevant. We still get alternate Rudy's story just for the sake of it.

Seriously, people who call that scene an asspull are doing it just for the sake of calling any time traveling asspulls.

Asspull would've been solving some pressing issue by sudden time magic, we didn't even know about Lara until the time traveler came, it might as well have never happened.
>>
>>150159716
I think discovering time travel magic to escape suffering that has already happened in the story is far more of an asspull than a time traveller showing up and warning of possible suffering.
>>
>>150159755
eh, people lose sight of what overpowered means in a genre of fiction where it's common for the MC to be basically a walking God with no real equals who's just trying to be low key about it.
>>
>>150159755
He can't do shit alone for most of the story though, he's defeated numerous times and the only time he's actually treated as someone obscenely powerful is during the school arc, which devolved into all kind of cliches for that matter, not just Rudeus being too powerful.

He's powerful alright, but he's in no way overpowered to the point of most Isekai MCs, and most of his time is spent planning and getting powerful teammates. And hilariously enough, his biggest plan was to defeat Orsted, and he failed.

well at the start Rudeus is an infant but yeah, let's take Rudeus just as he's getting his shit together with his rock cannon shotgun magic and he'd probably hold his own against a bunch of early on isekai characters, maybe even beat a few. I can see that Rudeus vs shield hero being pretty interesting.
But there's a bunch like Ainz and the guy from "new gate" that he'd never hold a candle to even when those characters have just started.
>>
Been rereading Ze Tian Ji, and I've been wondering, who's the most benevolent and calm isekai MC?
>>
>>150158638
not much of an asspull since A Rudeus got completely fucked over from beginning to end of it
>>
>>150160804
>Rudeus vs naofumi
If we're talking pre-popefight naofumi then i think rudeus can overpower him with magic since he can cast judgment-level magic. Anytime after pope-fight naofumi will be able to tank anything Rudeus can throw at him.

>rip in piece spooder
it'd depend which part of her evolution she'd be up to. I'd say Rudeus would have a pretty hard time with Kumo once she'd gotten into the part of her evo tree where she was the first to become those spiders. I'd bet on Kumo after she'd reached Arachne form.

Thinking about it, which isekai MCs dont go full power autismo anyway

you'll find lots of self insert loser mc light novels place a disproportionate amount of focus on 'MC IS SO GOOD AT COOKING', because the one thing almost every hikki neet is guaranteed to be good at, if they are good at anything, is feeding themselves.

It has it's moments of comedy that I enjoy but I got tired of his crap when he was literally tricking an entire city into doing work for him while feeding them grass/stone soup that he was charging em for while they were providing said labour for free.
The examples of his cleverness don't prove he's bright so much as everyone else is being spontaneously retarded and even the examples to show the superiority of his cheapskate ways are utterly wrong upon any proper inspection.
Eg Merchant dude nonchalantly tosses a gold coin to get let into the city since noone is going to let in a poorfag merchant and it causes word to spread around that a rich merchant is there which means customers go looking to him directly incase anything rare came about. It's a solid investment.
Poorfag MC walks up and haggles/lies (MC absolutely loves outright lying more than even the president elect to get more money) until he gets in cheaply.
This is supposed to indicate that Poorfag MC is a GENIUS and SUPERIOR for getting in cheaper. Nevermind that there is no way in hell any city guard would believe that a merchant with a wagon stocked to the brim with stuff to sell would be too poor to pay the entrance fee,showing up in tattered rags would make the fact that he has goods highly suspicious and get him immediately arrested for suspicion of banditry, hearing about him arriving in said rags if he wasn't arrested would turn away all the customers as they'd think he's too poor/inept to buy from and about a billion other things. Clearly MC is the smart one for being able to haggle the price down when he looks worse than a homeless dude
Sorry for that rant.
There are funny things I did like such as swordnoobs being so inept at videogames that their characters literally die each day from starvation as they are too dumb to figure out where/how to get food. Eventually people find their retarded antics amusing and start feeding em.

ok, sure. Even if something is cliched, it can still be good, right?
Just not if that formula gets repeated for every single fucking story arc ever.

Another one of my massive gripes is that Satou is a complete fucking scumbag, even if the author intended for him to be seen as the opposite of such. It's that kind of superman's dilemma thing except Satou has even greater power. People are being massacred? Better tuck my 300 waifus into bed and change out of my dinner jacket first before I do something.

>Only I know this world is a game
this is actually pretty funny to be honest, too bad it has a terrible name.
An isekai where the protag is a game world full of bugs and weird game logic. Anyone who played a few bathesda games on launch can sympathize with him
>>
>>150163189
I can accept people disliking rudeus, but I can't accept people calling him terrible for retarded reasons (which really boil down to "it's bad because I don't like him") or blatantly lying about the story.

No.
Now you're simply being salty

The way the narrative is structured is head and shoulders above the rest of the genre. You perpetually want to see what happens next, because it isn't as nearly predictable as "MC kills all the bad dudes and fucks all the cute girls".

Sure, it definitely isn't perfect, but slime tensei might as well go fucking die in a fire for how much worse it is than Tsuki.

Or maybe it's because the translators for Tsuki have been just that good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For not being a 100% selfess hero at all times? Come on. He doesn't have an obligation to save anyone.

>Just not if that formula gets repeated for every single fucking story arc ever.
There were plenty of story arcs that were nothing like that, and you're oversimplifying everything anyway. Saying that vising the elf village was the same as the time he visited labyrinty city or the capital was all the same is retarded.

Like, I don't think the story is good, it's isekai after all, but your complaints are bullshit.

ultimate handyman because he could fix, improve, and invent things
creates pumps for water wells because gratitude
creates automaton to do stuff that got the attention of warhawks because its better than warmechs
creates speedboat because damsel got screwed over
oh, he created an automaton that looks exactly like a human which calls him her father (has the makings of a yandere, though)

its basically:
1. go to a new place to look and buy some stuff
2. create stuff for people he interacts with
3. get worshiped for it
4. get out before the attention gets out of hand
5. return to 1

not really much of a story

>For not being a 100% selfess hero at all times?
For viewing human life as an "oh well it couldn't be helped" kind of thing when dude, yes, you totally could have helped.

>oh well
>I have power literally greater than all the gods combined but oh well

>the formula doesn't apply
Oh no, there's a 10% of shit that doesn't fall under.
Are you seriously telling me that the laundry list of asskissy nobles and underage harem members that enlarges every 20 chapters hasn't become completely absurd in size?

I told you what the fuck I thought was wrong with death march. Disagree, sure, but count the number of arcs that did exactly what I outlined before you come back and tell me that it's bullshit.

the more harem members the better dude, that's my wish being fulfilled

and no one has any obligation to help anyone. In fact, the fact that he does help eventually is something I don't like. Would rather if he only interfered when directly involved.

Biggest problem of the novel is that he later becomes a messiah and starts literally helping everyone and everything, including making orphanages, creating industry, giving slaves jobs, and so on.

>the formula doesn't apply
my point is that you're dramatically oversimplifying things. The arcs do not feel samey at all, it's only if you massively reduce things that you can say that.

This being the closest thing to an LN thread, I may as well post this here.

Whoever it is who keeps uploading Kindle rips of Yen Press novels to the sekrit klub, could you please pick a source to rip from other than Kindle?

Kindle is pretty much the only source that deliberately murders image quality. Pick Google Play Books or Kobo or something that actually allows a publisher to save the images in the original non downscaled resolution, and with JPG quality 98 instead of 40.

Yeah, nah. It was fine while things were being kept vague, but whenever it went into detail about his knowledge and how it impacted the world everything went full bullshit.
>>
>>150164034
I see no reason why elves would know the concept of forest maintenance considering the elves in that world are basically at a tribal level of technology. A lot of things that seem common sense now would definitely be revolutions if brought to the dark ages man.

>>150155466
Harem end is shit since it forces the girls to be the most shallow and boring characters since they are perfectly willing to compromise on their affections for no real reason besides. The only time I've seen it work well is Sevens, where most of the girls are NOT actually okay with sharing the MC, but form factions based on shared interests and work to get ahead of the rest in one horrifying power struggle for the role of legal wife.

They were living in forests for thousands of years. Even ancient fucking tribes knew how to take care of their lands because knowledge accumulated throughout generations and elves had more than enough time to figure out the dangers of an overgrown forest.

though LNs and WNs may all be inherently trashy, there are different levels of trashy, and that plus popularity seems to be what determines whether a particular LN gets an adaptations.

Descriptions of how Rudy fucks each of his wives probably falls into the too-trashy-to-be-animated tier

there's also the issue of there being way too much shit to ever fully adapt, forcing a studio to arbitrarily decide at a stopping point, cut out a whooooooooooooooole lot of shit, or make up their own ending.
