What are your opinions on the ever-growing flood of Isekai titles flooding the market, /a/?
>>152270414
I only like them when they try something different.
>>152270414
I'm a sucker for them on paper but the vast vast majority are tripe.
Also when is fat cat tats coming back to MT?
>>152270579
Not soon enough I can tell you that
Tan athletic catgirls are too rare
Is Leda the first isekai anime?
Isekai is easy fun, at least I try it before dismissing it for it's "genre"
>>152270490
Isekai about a guy who just wants to SoL as a pizza man? please sauce
Is Dungeon Defense isekai kino?
>>152270900
i knew it was coming
>>152270900
That looks tasty
I don't mind it. I'll take ANYTHING over the generic Japanese high school setting.
I wish there was more Isekai like Gate, where the MC is just godlike compared to the civilization he's landed in.
>>152270414
dome are decent, some are bad, some are edgy as fuck, so far i liked a few and the one i like the most is shield hero
>>152270970
How long till you say the same about isekai?
>>152270414
My favourite Isekai only exists in my head.
I was expecting him to stay as a dragon kinda disappointed that he turn into a human.
Most isekai i read is basically a new game+ where they went back in time as a baby while retaining their old memories.
>>152271182

>>152271771
Thanks seems like a pretty interesting premise. I'll check these manga out.
What annoys me is isekai with MMORPG/RPG mechanics, shit's too damn annoying specially let's fucking MINMAX.
>>152271182
>I was expecting him to stay as a dragon
Then you're kind of stupid and should have learned your lesson from shit like slime, spider or goblin.
>>152270414

Especially when MC mentions dumping a big load of cum in them.
>>152272204

>>152271322
It's because before he got summoned he was working for hours non-stop and even sleeping in the office to finish debugging the game before the deadline, this is called a Death March.
Everyone is talking about this Isekai genres fever, but if you search a little you'll see that's one of the oldest genres out there.
Even the Reincarnation theme is quite old too, though it was used more in romance-like stories than adventures.
>>152272778

I want to read an isekai about a truck driver who hangs himself from guilt over a persons life he took because he was asleep at the wheel and ends up in another world and the person he killed is a powerful wizard or dragon or some bullshit and he wants REVENGE.
>>152270414
It's not that new and the numbers aren't really surging that much. What's new is people freaking out about isekai as if it were something to be worried about. People were barely even using the term a year ago but suddenly it's the newest and most threatening cancer killing anime
>>152273314
I would rather see the story of a truck driver who killed 1000 victims and became a demon.

Any isekai/fantasy where MC is betrayed/cursed humanity so much he become villain and actually try to conquer humans?
Something like exiled by his own friends?
I have an isekai idea
what if a street racer from the 90s managed to drift into an alternate world and picks up some nobility's daughter who is distraught with her father and they get raced by the mounted fantasy shit from that world
eurobeat included of course
>>152274144
Such a good idea they made it twice.
What about reverse isekai where someone from another world has to adapt to normal life? Devil part timer and GATE are the only ones to come to mind at the moment.

It's true most are shit but it's the same as anything, just avoid the stuff you don't like. One thing I do want is more straight fantasy instead of MMORPG elements and some Isekai in other settings like scifi in the spotlight too.

>>152276139
Shadowrun-like settings is garbage for its neon and drap, emo aesthetics and real life agendas smacked right into your face.
Not to mention its garbage and pointless mechanics.
People go for fantasy for escapism, not to simply write about reality when they can do that without any issue.
Are there any post isekai stories? Like the first chapter starts with the MC going back to his world and finds himself struggling to adapt.
>>152278137
Typical Demon lord subjugation story that goes well, except the hero was summoned to the demon's side 10 years after he emerged victorious, as the humans goes even more jackass than the demons.
>>152270414
I enjoy them. I don't make a big fuss of it either because isekai isnt really that new, quite old actually.
There's a thing that's getting on my nerves and its the easy mmo analogy most writers tend to lach on. I don't mind in things like log horizon, overlord, sao, etc because that's supposed to be its thing but when they start explaining their whole "magic system" with a fucking mmo troope when it doesnt belongs it pisses me off to no end.

To be exact, as I was smart enough to realize that I was a son of a bitch, I was also honest enough to admit only that fact. Individuals who possessed both wisdom and honesty, like myself, were rare to find.
Props to the author & translator
>>152278388
I hate the lel info box in the story itself meme that authors keep using to make their MC smart.
If you want to make a game, info boxes is obviously necessary.
If you want to write a goddamn fantasy story, I don't want to know about the mechanics nor the info or the UI.
Just a good story about adventures, cute girls, evil bastards worth smiting and friendly people worth fighting for.
World-building are optional and not essential. Character building is much better in comparison in fantasy.
>>152272298
They didn't though. Just the focus moved from them to the main story. Since the author was obviously rushing itand wanted to finally kill of our MCthere wasn't any more time to depict their lives in the main series so he mixed those in with the redundancy chapters and Jobless Oblige.
Well, at least Sylphy still got more attention in the Asura arc and when Zeke was first born.
Too bad the translation has kinda stopped with Zeke's story though, he seems more interesting compared to his first son.
>>152270414This part wasn't in the WN right? They're really going all out with the fanservice over there

>Shadowrun
Garbage anyways and its not the only modern fantasy setting to exist Anon.
Modern fantasy is also underrated.
>>152278388
>isekai isnt really that new, quite old actually.
Quite so. There was a similar trend that was a bit popular in Western fantasy fiction in the 20th century, although it fell out of fashion - Three Hearts and Three Lions, the entirety of the John Carter series, etc.
And it's even older than that, of course. Mark Twain's A Yankee in King Arthur's Court, for instance, which is from 1889. And probably stuff from earlier centuries than that that I can't remember off the top of my head.
It's just having a resurgence in Web Novels, which get published as Light Novels, and those LNs are getting adapted to manga and anime and thus get into the limelight.
It's like how the zombie apocalypse stopped being huge in media for a while and then decided to walk the earth again near the end of the 20th century. All that's old is new again.
But yeah, including game stats for no good reason is a goddamn plague and I have no idea where the fuck it came from. Are the actual MMO stories to blame, or is this from a more obscure corner of the internet?
>>152278889
>RPG Stats
>I have no idea where that came from.
Most fantasy in Nip land is focused on their own culture or based on the west.
The heaviest western fantasy influence they got is Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and DnD (Though most get their influence from FF and DQ) which gets the tropes of Stats and Demon King + Copy n' Paste stuff.
>>152278889
It's not like it's a recent thing in anime ether.
El Hazard, Magic Knights Rayearth, Escaflowne.
And there are probably good older examples too, but I'm a pleb and don't know my anime history.
Although, there is also the thing that the genre has changed and different tropes and cliches are prevalent in different times.
Like the whole mmo-aspect is pretty recent. Also I feel that even outside of it, these days there seems to be more western Tolkien -style fantasy worlds.

You woke up in a room, in front of you is two doors, one red, one blue. You heard a sound from behind and you turned back to see a wall full of spike thorn slowly coming at you, there are no other way, no window. You heard a voice saying that you have to choose between 2 doors and take the test behind them to escape, the red door required you to read through 100 chapters for each Jap's isekai web novel while the blue ones required you to read 100 chapters for each Chinkz's isekai web novel and then making summary for all of them, all WN are picked randomly on the internet.
Now, which door will you choose, /a/?
>>152278889
It's an easier metric to explain stuff like power levels of different characters/enemies, and is mostly used to move the plot along by having the player level-up and learn some new skill that does something.
I get the criticism because it's often just ham-fisted in its inclusion, but in practice it's almost no different from what any other shounen-type scenario does, it's just more transparent and thus is easier to grasp for a new reader.
Basically rather than make up your own special snowflake magic system, just put in levels and you've saved yourself time and effort - it's not like people are reading the endless tide of Isekai novels for quality or originality, it's easily absorbed fluff that japanese teenagers buy to pass the time on their 2-hour commute.
This show is better than I expected.
>>152272298
They accomplished the goal of their life (Sylphy to become a good bride to Rudy, also finish the work of bodyguard for Ariel, Roxy to find the love in a dungeon and teach in the magic academy and Eris Stay with Rudy and become strong to fight to his side), and when a person have children, they give priority to the family, becoming less reckless in their actions, also around after the battle vs Orsted, Rudy almost don't have time to spent with his family, and that was fixed in the briefly time that have with his wives in the next chapters and in the redundancy chapters .
>>152278620
That image is about another series with the same illustrator
>>152278889
>including game stats for no good reason is a goddamn plague
This is the main problem of various isekai, where any person can learn a skill without effort, and that happens because is more easy to the author to explain the magic like death march that every moment the Mc gain a skill merely talking with a person, seeing a action or magic, or killing monsters.

Why do they almost always have harem elements? Why can't it just be about a normal guy (not an otaku or whatever) going over to a new world, with both male and female characters being relevant?
Endride was the last one to have an even amount of important male and female characters, but I'm almost certain it can be done better.

this one is pretty sad
>>152279455
Did he get away with this in the end?
>>152279918
You must actually know why most of them have harem elements.
Is there an isekai where a truck hits a NEET and gets wrecked, so it gets reincarnated as a horse carriage?
>>152279986
Because the majority of writers are creatively bankrupt and don't know how to write non-contrived character relationships?
>>152270414
I do have a question.
Would a series in which the MC dies in our time, but his brain is scanned and uploaded into a robot in the not too distant future ala SOMA be considered Isekai?
>>152280121
Sound really shitty.
Read Knights of Sidonia if you like shit like that.
>>152280072
Sorry, anon.
Truck-kun can't be killed or wrecked, they do that, others can't do it at them.
>>152280240
No, I'd like to see it attempted. At least there won't be any Harem elements this time due to the MC's robot body lacking functional genitalia.

Legal age is a made-up law by the government. It doesn't mean anything. So as far as I'm aware, it doesn't apply in fantasy pretty much ever.

That said, how old was Melty when Naofumi met her? The queen pretty much gave Naofumi the OK to knock her up then. She probably knew melty could handle childbirth at a young age.
There are two worst ones that are almost always trash.
Ones that are just copy pasting from Dragon quest complete with a hero fighting a demon king and video game option menus.
And ones where the person is reincarnated, going through there whole childhood and being super powerful and "smart" by the age of like 10.
>>152283046
I like both of them.
Hero and Demon King is always fun because it gives a direct goal in the beginning and you wonder how it'll turn out. Japan always finds a way to make it different and interesting.
My first reincarnation was Mushoku and I thought it did it really good, so everything else kind of pales in comparison to Mushoku. Mushoku had control of power and didn't let it get out of hand and OP like other reincarnation stories.
>>152281556
The other one with the dragon that turns into human also goes to a brothel
>>152270414
I prefer chinese reincarnation stories.
They at least try to be original about the way they go about it.
>scientist from the future with an implanted AI chip dies in a nuclear explosion during an experiment and gets reborn into the dead body of a wastrel noble on his way to become a novice wizard (he remains part super-computer and makes a fun MC)
>VRMMO player picks up a legendary loot book that lets him enchant gear as he pleases but gets drawn ito a dimensional shift. Instead of emerging into another world his soul gets destroyed and a dirtfarmer from the alternate world finds the skill-book becoming the true MC.
>A guy with a rare blood dissease spends his limited time left on earth to travel the world. Deep in the mountains of Tibet he falls down a cliff, SURVIVES , finds some ancient library containing mystical chinese medicine, martial arts and books with various knowledge. Just as he steps out of the cave, healed after cultivating Chi he gets struck by a meteor and reincarnates as a retard whose only goal in life is to spend money cause he has only partial memories of his past life!
>>152283265
You are a man of fine opinions. I like you.
>>152283265
>Japan always finds a way to make it different and interesting.
I'm of the opposite opinion. Most of them feel like the same story with a different gimmick stapled to it that stops mattering after a few chapters in favor of level and skill grinding.
>>152283314
And all are connected through CULTIVATIONS.
>>152283434
Fucking Chinese and their cultivation bullshit.
>>152283434
At least they don't need training arcs since the characters just magically get power ups by eating weird drug pills or by just sitting there for hours
>>152283474
>>152283434
They all train in muscle magic.
>>152283434
Yes, as opposed to all the ''average japanese highschool boys'' who get their powers for free.
>>152283524
>muscle magic
>>152283495
They do train, but unless the writers feel that it is something worth talking about then they skim through it quickly.
>>152283434
Explain to me the cultivation thing.
The writer of Mekakucity Actors is now writing a manga about a charity worker girl who ends up in a fantasy world after dying in a plane crash.
>>152283732
Basically the premise is training in mystical powers and different forms of magic to become immortal.
So a necromancer trying to become a lich is also a cultivator, a monk training muscle magic to increase his vitality is also a cultivator and so on.
It's just wizards of different forms and with different methods but people refuse to stop spreging about every magic user not looking like Gandalf.
Do these count as isekai?
I like them personally.
Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki

>he doesn't cultivate in the profound

Holy crap... what's the dark furry vixens name?
Why not yet any isekai with modern philosophy, political and revolution?
>>152283900
>Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki
Not an isekai but fantasy-fiction.
It's an example of VRMMO done right. No stupid plots where everyone is trapped but pure fun.
>TLMS
Haven't read this but the premise does revolve around an MC who still has a real life.

Japanese WN have harems Chinese WN have cultivations.
WN are garbage by definition. The lack of editors is really obvious in them.
If I were to ever truly like an isekai, it would have to be one where the world the MC is born is brutal and depressing, and where even if he's above average by human standards, he's weak as shit compared to everything else.Warhammer 40k isekai?
>>152270414
This manga seens interesting, will see do I have patience to read it to the end.
>>152284066
“Bitches. If Lord Fifth hadn’t just recently awoken from slumber, then he would be much more powerful. I could have screwed the entire city! Then they would know how badass Lord Fifth is! As for you, kid, feel free to express your thanks by offering me some worship. Come, come. Say it with me: Have faith….”
>>152284128
>>152284190
That would be the shortest Isekai ever written.
1. MC is transported.
2. MC dies a horrible death and his soul suffers endless agony in the void.
3. Hijinks ensue?...
>>152284046
Punching it in exhentai now.

this
whole manga is one giant cock-teaste but you soon start to realize nothing happens so you drop that shit.
>>152284450
I was reading it back when it was a thought through eternity and the best parts is seriously when he tries to do something normal and fucks up on an immense scale.
>>152284481
Hey that one is a good story!
It reminds me of Ys games although its not really killing mythical beast. The MC travels alone, interacts with the villagers then eventually leaves.
Although there is an actual goal in the story, and it seems the MC will eventually go back for the loli sensei.

Because they are literally bottom of the barrel escapism, that are making no excuses. Keep in mind the genre is flooded with trash writers jumping on the train.
Harem was always an escapist genre so the marriage of the two is almost unquestionable.

>Granted superpowers yay!
>Game systems so they don't have to work for it!
>All these white, elven and beast-women are after a tiny Asian cock
>Oh we must beat the Demon Lord who is also secretly a loli that wants to join the MCs harem
Did i miss any of the tropes?
>>152284838
There's a different nuance to it, which should be obvious by it having a specific title and just being called "adventure" novels or whatever.
>>152284838
It's not about it being new. It's about it going through a boom because of how easy nips are influenced by the idea getting thrown into another world and gaining god-like power and a harem of bitches.
>>152284941
It doesn't matter because the mother dies of an illness when the child is young, and the father is always working abroad.

Amakawa Haruto is a young man who died before reuniting with his childhood friend who disappeared five years ago. Rio is a boy living in the slums who wants revenge for his mother who was murdered in front of him when he was five years old.
Earth and another world. Two people with completely different backgrounds and values. For some reason, the memories and personality of Haruto who should’ve died is resurrected in Rio’s body. As the two are confused over their memories and personalities fusing together, Rio (Haruto) decides to live in this new world.
Along with Haruto’s memories, Rio awakens an unknown “special power”, and it seems that if he uses it well, he can live a better life. But before that, Rio encountered a kidnapping that turns out to involve two princesses of the Bertram Kingdom that he lives in.
After saving the princesses, Rio is given a scholarship to the Royal Academy, a school for the rich and powerful. Being a poor orphan in a school full of nobles turns out to be an extremely detestable place to stay at.
Does Hero Union BBS count as isekai?
>>152285010
The most common trope of the genre is a character being literally re-incarnated, which is actually quite a specific attribute to the genre.
Sure, it's been done before but it's never actually become a commonly repeated plot point that then dominates its genre.
>>152275883
Is that the one where the lady of authority bluntly asks the guy to copulate with her?
>>152284838
It's more like being transferred to a specific outdated medieval setting or whatever it's called where you get to play the hero. Any alternate universe might count as isekai but the boom right now is about that specific one.
>>152283900
>Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki
>The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor
They aren't trapped in anything, they're just playing an MMO.
>>152284838
Well done, that's four (You). Have a fifth from me.
>>152270414
Is there an Isekai where the best girl wins that isn't 'marry them all'?
>>152283900
They seem pretty inspired by eachother so it's not unreasonable to put them under the same umbrella, though they don't technically fit together.
I mean it's pretty obvious that the boom in Isekai was jump-started by the resurgence of interest in Sword Art Online, and those VRMMO plots are aimed at the exact same audience.
>>152285319
Any anime that isn't based on facts and real events is isekai, but I think this hate is cause of this >>152285196
>>152285341
And to think there's gonna be an american live action adaptation of SAO. What's the american equivalent of MUH YAMATO DAMASHIIIIII? IS it MUH FREEDOM or is it AMERICA, FUCK YEAH?
>>152285196
Because being in a medieval setting grants a certain superiority to the MC. He is from modern times, he knows more advanced science, he hates slavery and is all sorts of progressive.
In a SF world however the MC is the primitive monkey and needs to struggle tooth and nail to survive and be recognized leading to far less power fantasy.
>>152276139
It's not anime but, it's the closest thing to what you want.
>>152284644
Good art, cute female MC. Picked up, I guess.

Aren't you supposed to read it rather than just look at the cover?
>>152285968
That would be a awful idea. That's exactly what he would want. Can you imagine letting Travis lose in fantasy land?
>>152270414
I don't hate the idea of isekais but I hate most isekai. They're usually just lazy fantasy that skips proper world building and uses the premise to establish a protagonist who doesn't need real development.
Sometimes you get shit like Arata Kangatari where the protagonist coming from a normal world adds something to the story. Those are the ones that're worth bothering with
>>152286069
Yes. It would be the ''''''''deconstruction''''''''' everyone wants.

Kazuma is shit. Until the story demands it, he is smart despite the fact he continues to hang around a bunch of idiots, got himself pathetically killed by embarrassment. Konosuba is a bunch of idiots fucking around, and you people excuse it as comedy being subjective or point out "opinion", or because it is that, it's good. Parodies don't work in the long run, it runs dry after awhile. There's no silver lining, characters are still fucking idiots and nothing of value other than a cheap laugh. Fuck you all.
>>152287347
Well, one thing I like to that WN is that the MC is ready to shoot down potential harem members, not that it happen yet.Its the black haired girl is the heroine. Not that it exactly matters since she is the MC's love interest on his former life. Perhaps its better to call the silver haired cutie as the first girl.So I guess its fine.

Misunderstandings is life, if there were no misunderstandings, life would be too perfect.
>>152270414
Every character in that fucking manga is dogshitexcept for Ghyslaine she's literally the only reason I even bothered to read it
>>152287902
It's just that more often than not, if you insert so many misunderstandings, it invites actual forced drama. The whole dramatic irony leads to pointless frustration within the story and reader.
>>152287824
Did you read ahead? I only know things based on the translation but if that really happens then it might becomes Kimi no Iru Machi: Fantasy Edition.

Running joke in the series; all nobles are perverts, and their particular fetishes are hereditary

Noble who kidnapped Eris is a lolicon
Prince Otaku has a doll fetish

Really, I thought they were talking about Travis fucking TOUCHDOWN.
What do you guys think of evil mcs in isekai? I usually like the cold and pragmatic type of villains who do things for their own desire (don't mention Overlord) rather than the revenge-after-dying-in-old-world type of villain mc (Nidome). Nowadays, doutei protagonists (boring, nothing of value) and otaku NEET (easy for flaw-picking or deceiving people into being all empathetic) are over-flooded. I want apathy. I want those who selfish, yet calm.

Isekai where MC goes to save different points in history when? Also it's fantasy version, but it still counts.
>>152270414
>>152288762
The manga cover a Lnvol in around 8-10 chapters, and the manga is around the events of Vol4 when Ruijerd start a rampage against the kidnapper guild, so a least 20-30 chapters more,
Another option is that the manga obtain another manga adaptation that start to cover the events of vol7-8
>>152289518
SAO didn't do anything though. MMO Isekai was always there even before SAO. SAO just did this really cool concept that people would want to self-insert into. It wasn't just VR, no it was neural connection directly to the brain so you could ignore everything and live in a completely virtual experience. Every person's dream. It sounded plausible, but apparently not that plausible.

I want an Isekai series where the MC is tasked to destroy other Isekai worlds, either by killing their respective main characters or alternatively convincing them to go back to reality.

But then the main character develops a fetish for women falling and begins a murder spree of kidnapping women and throwing them off tall buildings. Along the way he gains a special power that enables him to hide his crimes.
Dungeon Defense is one of the best Isekai, but it got it's problems with the later volumes. I got a bit of a love-hate relationship with it.

It would be a travelling story, with a bit of mystery. Sometimes action-packed, sometimes just alot of conversations and exploration, depending on the setting.
He has to infiltrate the world, learn the concept behind it (is it a MMO system with levels, or is it just a generic fantasy world), whilst also researching how to avoid certain overpowered spells/items the protagonist will have since he can still be hurt by them.
He doesn't ever truly know who the protagonist without getting close to them, so he has to find out who the local hero is, ask if they saw a handsome 15-year old person with edgy black and red armor surrounded by hot catgirls, and so on. This can also lead to bad misunderstandings or red herrings.
The MC would rather not kill if possible, but knows sometimes its the only way to destroy that world. This opens up moral dilemmas. You'll learn the stories of the protagonists, why they escaped to their world, why the world is the way it is. Sometimes the protagonists will be angsty teenagers, dead salarymen, or old guys given a second chance at life. Sometimes they'll fight to keep their isekai life, or relent knowing it's not right or that they were getting bored of living in a perfect, predictable world.
Sometimes he'll have to fight an Overlord type character, or convince a kid to go back to reality. It's never really clear. Either way the worlds have to be destroyed because it will lead to something bad, or something along those lines.
The whole thing can be a commentary on how retarded the genre is but in a way that doesn't explicitly bash escapism, just things its good in small measure, etc. The predictable plot twist at the end is it was all just another Isekai for the MC who's just a contrarian who wanted adventure like anyone else.

Volume 4 isn't over so I'm holding some reservations, I just feel like Dandy boy is one step away from becoming a gary stue.
Dungeon Defense isn't the type of story where the protag wants to acquire a peaceful or harmonious life and his character has yet to suffer a true test and trial (Aside from chapter 1 I guess, but that was to introduce him to us more than anything.)
If he manages to get out of his predicament and save his harem in volume 4 scot free while neutering Barbaros and Paimon I'll most likely lose interest in the LN.
Does this count as isekai?
Does being killed by a plane grant you greater powers than being killed by a truck?
>>152290522
You realize there are a bunch of isekai stories which start with "oh man I stayed up late so I was tired and didn't even notice a truck was coming now I'm in an alternate world and this crazy elf princess is fighting the mermaid princess and the catgirl (male) princess for my penis"
>>152290491

>>152290596
Was the main character a girl before the plane went down or was being reborn as a teenage semen demon part of their wonderful new life

Kazuma got damegami from being killed by a tractor so really makes you think.
>>152290597
Yeah what the fuck is up with that anyway? Half of them do that and the other half the guy still gets killed by a truck but it was when trying to save someone (out of character as established before and after of course).
>>152274820

>>152290530
Read Vol 4 chapter 2 yesterday and I'm expecting someone to die considering how Dandelion acts in Vol. 1 prologue.
My money is onLapis. Laura is made out to be the only character who could rival the hero back from the game so I don't really expect her to die anytime soon but Lapis isn't really all that strong and it wouldn't surprise me if Barbatros would try to kill her.
What happened to the promising "I got reincarnated as Yamcha ta the end of the Goku-kid saga and I decided to train to prepare for Nappa" isekai? Is chapter 2 out yet?
>>152270414
if it means less school setting, that is a good thing
>>152290653
I thought it was the shock of someone else being killed by a truck(tractor)
>>152290664
Honestly this is one of the things that annoy me about these stories the most
Just have a heroic character for fucks sake stop with all the saving everyone while acting like its a pain shit.
>>152290596
I don't think you understand how this works.
You see, it's not necessarily the Truck that's important, though undoubtedly a contributing factor. The crossing itself, flanked also by other pillar-like objects, forms a perfect geometric figuration that when combined with the ordered, rectangular shapes present on the Truck (in motion, of course), is akin to a magical incantation that transports any souls on the crossing to magical worlds.
This effect is amplified by the frequency of anyone nearby possessing the deadly japanese cold, and can be hastened by shouting EEEHHHH and panning up to the sky.
>>152290818
I'm pretty sure it's just a blood clot from being too much of a neet.
>>152290736Lapis is obviously the most likely candidate and the fact I am seriously not convinced if she will die or not is really nice in my book. Since Dandy is making a major misunderstanding of Paimon reason to back him up, I feel like this could seriously bite him in the ass next chapter
The author is really good at creating tension at least, I just hope dandy get a very much needed slap of reality. For everyone being so-called genius, not even Elizabeth put up much of a fight.
The only character who actually manage to give him trouble was the goblin.
>>152290649

Also, she's not a semen demon, THIS girl is a semen demon.

In fact aside from the genocide there wasn't really that much difference between the hypernationalism of the first world war and the second, with the exception that the allies in wwii had kind of discarded the hypernationalism while the axis still thought it was all cool

How the hell would you have an isekai if he's reincarnated in the same world?
>>152291322
It would be infinitely better. It's like the sherlock holmes effect: it's much easier to make your character appear sensible when you remove the information the reader could use to show how everything is bullshit until the character has made a move based on said information.
>>152291396
>>152290818
Nope, he died out of embarrassment from pissing his pants from the mistake of truck=tractor (which never really hit him at all). Stupid idiot, he was.

You're better off having a proxy main character.
An observer. Someone who's not important but important. A proxy main character. Someone who mostly watches the story before their eyes. It might not be interesting to some, if not, alot of people. Because we have all these special snowflakes whose positions lack uniformity. We have literal peasants having some special power or chosen by fate. That lacks uniformity. Why can we just have this pattern?
> Be a peasant.
> Be a part of an important war or event.
> Manage to live.
> Have no special power.
> Mainly watches the true protagonists that play their role and importance far more than the mc.
> Does not exactly stand out but is important enough to interact or play certain actions but the spotlight is not on him.
Like watching an actual present narrator.
>>152291516
They're literally copy-pasta from one another. Even the characters look identical.
>>152291502
Hard to say he doesn't give a fuck after what he did with Laura. Like he said himself, he's fully committed to his true allies, there's no telling how he'll react to what Barba is about to do.Especially if she had her underling's gangrape Lapis as it was implied. Dandy never had to face such a huge provocation before and he does love Lapis with all of his heart.
>>152291576
No, he forgot he died out of embarrassment after that whole mishap after pissing his pants and everyone laughed at him. He died due to embarrassment. Fucking idiot.
Is Barbatross going make her soldiers rape Lapis?

They are just as bad but in a different way.

Do you guys ever wonder if there's a socioeconomic reason for why this genre is so popular right now? Like Japan's economy is in the toilet, its birth rate is flat, and job prospects are completely gone.
The only hope of a stable career for the average Japanese person is to work 14 hour work days as a salaryman. I might be projecting here but I used to have lots of wish fulfillment fantasies when I worked in fast food over the summer during high school.

To a point because how embarrassing it is, it can be assumed that they did not even fucking operate properly on him because of how stupid it was. That last post is wrong. He didn't know but still died.
>>152292050
He doesn't. He put new illustrations when they come in their chapters, he doesn't put al lof them at once.
>>152291692
Lapis gives no fucks and Dantalian is just gonna remember to pay her back later.
>>152292097
Dantalian loves her
So i dont think he could stomach the thought of her getting raped by dozens of soldiers
He would go nuclear
"No, you died from shock. You thought you were ran over by a truck and went into shock. I had been doing this for a long time, but you are
the first to die so unnaturally!"
...
"Because of your close call with the tractor, you lost conscious and control of your bowels and were sent to a nearby hospital. As the
doctors and nurses were saying 'What's with this guy, how useless--(lol)' amidst laughter, you did not regain conscious and your heart failed..."
Premise is good.
Problem is it's mainstream tripe and for the faggot consumers.
RE:zero had alot of potential but instead of doing it correctly and having the guy die and replan his shit while slowly being traumatised they have him just headbutt a wall.
Isekai mixed with Edge of Tommorow would have made RE:Zero amazing. Instead we just get OP main characters who are boring or edgy.

re:zero's mc taking so long to figure basic things out initially bothered me
but by having the mc be an easily-overwhelmed/emotional type character

allows the series to explore a different space.

He has a selfish goal. All of this makes him evil, but I'm not complaining.
I'm not a big fan of Isekai stories simply because every single story ends up having an MC whose backstory only exists within the new world. They have a personality, but no history that actually tells you how or why they act.
If there was an Isekai story about a fully formed character dealing with his flaws in a true monomyth-style fable then I'd be more interested.
>>152293656
Well, the main difference would be that they wouldn't have a connection to Earth, while in Gate Japan can bring in as much tech as they want.

I'd be interested if the character was either op as shit with the personality to match instead of being a pussy bitch, or weak as shit and ending up working as a farm hand or something similar (maybe something like the beginning of part 2 of vinland saga, of course with the MC acting upon different goals).

He's immoral, and by definition, he's considered an evil mc. But I'm not complaining.

Both of those stories exist and are fairly common in Isekai stories though.
>>152293867
Necar of Dharani is somewhat like that except she's on the run from a coup and the actual demon queen is an alt personality.
It's also by the same author as Seikon no Qwaser.
>>152293930

Again, does immoral acts. He recognizes this as immoral but acts amoral. Pragmatism can be considered evil to an extent. Ends justify the means is essentially a villain's way of doing things. I consider him as evil but I like this evil. Agree to disagree.

>Tfw there aren't any wn's that are as good as Overlord
Isekai can create some good stuff, but in it's heart it's the purest form of escapism there can be.
It's basically taking yourself (Or what the author thinks the fanbase is going to consist of) and putting you into a world shaped to create a good story for you. It's like playing DnD, without the separation of a character sheet.
Good Isekai happens when you take an actual character and put them into these situations, instead of a self-insert. Those usually end up going well.

Additionally, his vow to live a fulfilling, productive, righteous life this time is what makes him so driven and ambitious
>>152294391
I've read every wn/ln isekai worth reading for about 20 chapters and I'd have to say Overlord, Slime and Spider girl were the only ones that held my interest. If you've read one, you've read them all
>>152293789
It's funny how much Meat reminds me of Sylvie when she's at high lewd.
>>152294357
You know, there's a little something called common sense. If you manage to use it, you can dodge fireballs from the enemy. You don't need a fucking snowflake and not make the character alive through plot convenience.
> Being outnumbered
Run, use hit and run tactics if you have a long ranged weapon.
> People shooting projectiles
Find whatever cover and fight back if possible.
> Need a surprise weapon
Have a knife in a boot or a gauntlet with a blade.
> sword breaks
Keep knives on you.
> Need to face off an enemy
Have a friend.
Seriously, you can make them live because they can be prepared. No snowflake ability and they live not because of plot armor. Your argument is bullshit.
