>Seto Yu is a 12-year-old boy, that is abused violently by his father. One day, he is transported into a fantasy world with video game mechanics after being killed by his abusive father and he discovers that he has the unique ability to steal other people's skills for his own use. He quickly uses his special power to take revenge on the townspeople who bully him and obtains a harem of beautiful girls who love him unconditionally even though he shows no romantic interest in any of them and has the physical build of a skinny teenager.

You Yamada is a 19-year-old young man that is mundane at everything. One day, he is hit by Japanese Truck and transported to a fantasy world where all inhabitants are vehicles that can also transform into cute girls. His father, Optimus Prime, tells You that he has unique special power of Driving License. With Driving License he collects many car waifus who find true bliss in having him drive them hard and fast around race track. Oh yeah, for some reason story became about racing carwaifus at some point.

I want to see an isekai where a delinquent who gets into a lot of fights gets thrown into a wartorn land where he can get rewarded for busting faces, but wants to go back to his homeworld because his mom is most likely worried sick about him and his delinquent friends have no idea where he's gone.

Now that I think about it, this sounds like a Yu Yu Hakusho knockoff.

Child abuse is exceedingly rare in Japan.
In general children are rare and the families that do have kids typically really wanted them, so the newer generations are pampered beyond even the Western point of retardation.

It's escapism but not from abuse. It's shit individuals trying to escape the reality of being shit individuals by blaming everyone else besides themselves.

>>153509025
Honestly, it seems to me as if entertainment of all forms is going somewhat downhill. I think the root cause of all this is a shift in how producers/creators think of themselves, their creations, and their relationship to buyers/the audience.

In short, producers/creators used to be and think of themselves as "artists", and their creations were "works of art". But now it is only a product to sell, and all aspects of their production are streamlined to this aspect. Anime, manga, movies and all of it these days seems to lack any inspiration or originality, it's just not artistic anymore.
>>
>>153510680
Really the difference between modern LN style isekai and traditional normal person in a fantasy world stories is that isekai shit relies on the protagonist's already existing of fantasy stories and the world being based on those existing preconceptions.

Kids didn't go to Narnia and go "haha this is just like in my Japanese RPGs" then try to game the rules of the world.

Nobody wants realism in high fantasy, we have Game of Thrones for that sort of shit. Isekai shit is where you get your wish fulfillment on. Your life is shit? Here, this guy's life is shittier than yours; and look, this is what could happen if you went to another world with video game rules! I'd rather read Isekai harem shit than read a story about a Japanese kid living the peasant life in another world or being really shitty at adventuring and whining about how he wishes he was back in Japan. The reason the MCs of these stories are OP is because if they aren't OP, there's no way for them to actually do anything interesting. UNLESS you go the Chinese WN route, where the boring and powerless MC with broken meridians who is despised by his entire family suddenly has a fortuitous encounter and starts walking the road to becoming immortal jesus.

I wouldn't, that'd be cool. Like Farmland Saga or the farming arc of Vagabond except with fantasy plants, terrain, politics, and animals. The story could be the tapestry of his life as he lives life and builds a family. Maybe he'll me a mediator to problems within the village. Like if someone in town raped a passing elvish noble, or if an orc army was encroaching and the area was about to be a warzone. He's need to petition governments and that type of shit.
There's plenty of things you can do if you can actually write a story and characters.

Yeah. A short, skinny, little faggot. Funny thing is - since anime is aimed at underachievers, they're not even book-smart, forget intelligent, they're even dumber than the average Joe, heck most delinquents in manga and anime are more intelligent then them.

And then a bandit party comes into town, kills a bunch of people, rapes MC's childhood friend, steals all their shit, and takes off. When the MC has no power to do anything, and the story either becomes a tragedy or a boring diary. It's harder also harder to write and harder to hold peoples' interest.

The only way that shit can work is for things like Spice and Wolf where the MC isn't special, or reincarnated, and is a traveler. There are fantasy elements and entertaining character interactions with new people to keep the story going instead of "today I played with the village children after working in my field for 6 hours"

re: Isekai

If you're tired of reading betamax Nip bullshit, start reading Chinkshit Wuxia and Xianxia instead. 99.999% of their MCs are legitimate sociopathic womanizing mass-murderers. It's fucking great.

They also trend toward being fucklong as well, so there's plenty of content.

Of course that all boils down to a handful of formulas after a while too, but it's a refreshing difference until you start noticing.

I don't disagree with that, but I think that some artists(using the term very loosely) let themselves be influenced by what the crowd wants more and some are influenced less. The alternative is to look inward for inspiration, or somewhere external that isn't the mobs desires.

I'm sure there are people in Japan who are at this moment working on Isekai bullshit, or haremshit, all the while knowing that what they are working on is trash. In the end, I still think there is a concrete difference between people who create something purely in order to sell it, and people who try create something they find aesthetically pleasing.

The "video game mechanics" part is what pisses me off the most, not gonna lie. Is it so hard for these idiots to create a fantasy world that doesn't work like some mediocre JRPG?

You act like the only choices you have are between action and narration. There's plenty of passable school life manga that is able to thrive in the most boring setting in existence (school) because of decent characterization. Plenty of SOL series explore the mundane and are still enjoyable. You can have a fantasy setting without the story being about the setting itself if you can write characters that aren't part of that setting as well.

Isekai writers need to play less video games and watch more Taiwanese soap operas. Hopefully that'll bring them into an acceptable medium.

More that knowing that what they're creating is shit, I think those authors you refer are concious that their creation is completely unoriginal. When something becomes popular many people try to replicate what they think is a winning formula, so why deviate? Why even bother to research, craft your story or try to write something different from the rest, when you can do what other work has done before with success and get your share? As long as something successfull exist, so will imitations.

I've always gated that Isekai writers never have the character EVER worry about their family and friends.

>More that knowing that what they're creating is shit
So, this is true and untrue.

True in that there are definitely people out there who are only doing it for the cash, know they have no talent, but hope the popularity of the trend they are parisiting off of will = profit.

Then you have the delusional people. The first graphic design job I ever had was fixing existing/creating art for a clone of a popular (at the time) app game.

The game was soooooooo fucking shit that anybody could tell from a mile away that it was going to fail; yet the creators were honestly convinced it was going to make them a million dollars.

I think a lot of these LN writers are delusional as fuck & buy into their own hype the same way a lot of mainsteam musical artist do. But once the hype dies & the trend moves elsewhere, they will go back to being talentless nobodies who no one cares about.

>>153513819
>Those are wish fulfillment for people who failed life
You've obviously not ready any.
The ones with a grown man being transported very rarely have an otaku MC. If anything it's some old well positioned office worker.
It is escapism but not from a failed life. From a grey repetitive existence sure thing. But that's totally OK - that is what isekai should be about.

Failed life is the otaku shtick and those anime aimed at pandering to them always have high school students as MCs. Because otaku never matured beyond that age mentally.

The biggest isekai right now, and light novel in general is Mushoku Tensei. Otaku and neet are not the same thing. Otaku working office job is within norm.

A shame. I thought the koreans might be better than the nips at writing isekai shit.
Dungeon Defense can be extremely edgy at times but it's enjoyable as hell, specially since the writer actually knows how to write intelligent and cunning characters instead of just making everyone else retarded or using pure asspulls.

I have only read a few korean stories so I don't know for sure but at least Dungeon Defense is quite good.
I think this is the first time that an isekai story made me feel like I'm reading legit literature instead of below average otaku pandering shit. I mean, DD still has the usual self-insert stuff with an extremely cunning MC who manipulates everyone around him and gets bitches, but for once the author actually put effort into making all that shit interesting. It also helps that the translator is great and managed to translate the whole thing in a way that doesn't read like broken english crap.

Mushoku Tensei would be fine if he wasn't so characteristically fat and ugly. There's something deeply upsetting about someone losing weight and being handsome just by reincarnating. I'm okay with overpowered hack skills, but c'mon, that's just unfair.

Dungeon Defence is treading a very dangerous line where Dandy boy may or may not be a Gary Stu.

The total sociopathy of the cast is entertaining but the complete lack of... well, mistakes from Dandy make it pretty boring, there's no tensions; we don't see him plan either. He's been squeezing knowledge of the world he got from playing the game and it's just dumped into our lap as a masterstroke to make him win every time.

The only character that gave him trouble so far was the goblin.

I want to believe that all these Isekai are somehow a plot of Jump+, after they gave the okay to World's End Harem they didn't realize the author was actually a retard who didn't know how to right an engaging story one any level. So they are trying to get the worst Genre possible popular and get worse stories notoriety to take heat away from WEH so it doesn't end up as the Worst Manga of All Time.

You gotta go deeper. The order of things is WN->LN->Manga->Anime
Pretty much every top WN is an isekai. So of course its going to trickle down to manga. Nothing Jump can do about it. If it makes you feel better we've only scratched the surface of isekai to come. The japs have plenty more coming.

Hard to say since his daugtheru became such a monster, but then Volume 4 ended on a pretty hype note where he's gone and established his faction.

I wouldn't mind a flawless planner like him if he was a bit more likable, his misanthropy gets pretty tiring to read. Going full communism against the Crusaders had me laughing, though, so there's plenty to enjoy. I'm just stuck between deciding if I genuinely enjoy dungeon Defence or not.

Ah, the prologue is a call forward to shit that won't happen till MUCH later.
The last translated volume is still far from that point in time.
Also, DD is one of those stories that actually bothers to explain why people do shit, you can expect every named character to have a POV bit where they explain why they are doing X. 9 times out of 10 it's because keikaku.

>>153515785
And that barely counts because he pretty much got summoned into that problem.
I think so far the only things that weren't keikaku doori were the goblin killing himself and the margrave blowing up his cave and none of them were serious enough to ruin his plans.
Volume 4 gave me the impression that he finally fucked up, since his assesment of how Paimon and Barbatos would react to his speech was completely wrong but in the end everything still went as planned.

I feel like were stuck in a Vinland Saga-like giant prologue. DD isn't the kind of story that should enable the protagonist so much. Maybe volume 5 will introduce a big upset that'll humanize Dandy a little but I'm not holding out any hopes. I was absolutely certain Lapis would end up dead or wounded by Barbatos as a reminder that Dandy isn't perfect and his retainers can pay for his fuck ups but... things went very differently.

It's still very interesting, but not enough to make me feel passion while reading.

Paimon best girl.
>>
>>153516381
So far he couldn't fuck up because his allies would just leave him, but now that he has a steady alliance formed he has the leisure to fuck up, which means that he probably will end up fucking up.

this would be 10/10 if the twist that he is actually in a coma and awakes in reality just before getting the main girl

It's true the stake were incredibly high to begin with.

I'm wondering what is going to happen once the Hero is finally introduced. Still nowhere close and yet he's been hanging over Dandy head forever.
>>
>>153516510
I'm pretty sure Dandy will eventually try to either recruit him or kill him before he matures.
I mean, he is all autistic about the princess so I doubt he would be stupid enough to leave the hero unattended.
>>
>>153516578
It'd be pretty hilarious if mister Hero end up a naive boy who fuck up Dandy plans through the power of FRIENDSHIP.

>>
>>153519130
From what I understand, yes. But I don't care to check since I hear the WN pales in comparison. There are bits of info about in comments for some chapters at the TL's site.

>>153519185
Barbatos as wife, Laura as mistress, Lapis as 2nd mistress, and Paimon as sex slave would be idea.
>>
>>153519305
Dandy doesn't do harem because of his dad. It's Lapis or nothing.
>>
>>153519369
The thing is that it doesn't count as harem because they are all so broken that they can't feel legit love for each other. Even Lapis and MC have a fucked up relationship were they are aware that one will end up betraying the other and their main priority is still themselves.
The other girls are more sex friends than lovers.
By the way, when is he going to fuck the loli witches? Dude should stop pretending he isn't a lolicon after all the shit he has done with Barbatos.
>>
>>153519472
He's too far in the closet to do it of his own free will. Doubt it'll ever happen.
>>
>>153518833
I think I remember picking up Vol 3, and just insta-dropping it because the translation quality was horrid. So let's blame that. Not to say the LN itself is any masterpiece, but you still need a decent translation to make the story enjoyable.

>>153519229

Group summoning itself is pretty common and largely inoffensive. It's all these WNs that saw Arifureta and thought, "I want to be that".

I want to write an isekai (my phone autocorrected isekai into idealized) where everything plays out as a high fantasy story, no meta isekai knowledge bullshit, and the isekai aspect only comes in as an ass pull when the final boss, who's supposedly immune to everything in his world, got hurt by the MC because he's from another world.
>>
>>153520301
>Superior katana
Surprisingly, this one doesn't really get pushed all that often in Isekai. Most isekai protagonists just use western-styled swords, or some other melee weapon. Nips are pretty westaboo in this regard.

But It's still all about that Japanese food tho.
>>
>>153512826
They're all guilty of this, Japs, Koreans, Chinese, all of them.

Fuck them all.

As an amurrican I can't understand the food thing, but maybe it's different when what you eat is less diverse
>>
>>153520536
And yet the MC still ends up using some European weapon, with plenty of other legendary weapons that aren't katanas.

It's like the MC is aware of how impractical a katana really is, but the writer still throws it in for muh nationalism spicing.

Of course, there's the occasional isekai where the Katana really is the "best" weapon.
>>
>>153520637
Well, the food in the Middle Ages was shit if you weren't a noble and even the noble's food could be considered shit compared with the dishes we can currently eat but even so it's surprising how far the isekai MCs go to reproduce japanese dishes.

>>153509025
Th abusive past could have given him reason to be wary of other people, especially if his father abused him in other ways in addition to violence. Violent retribution could also make his allies untrustworthy of him, or make the villain want to seek him out and convert him to darkness with the promise of wreaking havoc on anyone that dares try to hurt him like his father hurt him.

It could also be a dream he has while dying, and the real reincarnation adventure begins once he realizes he's living out his wildest dreams without any consequences.

Both are likely to not happen, but it'd be cool if they worked with the MC's background a bit.
>>
>>153521112
Don't forget that he can master any skill by doing something related to it once and then putting enough points into it that he becomes the best at it.
Also, he can teleport to any place he owns and even create pocket dimensions.
Also, he has a shitton of magic swords, one of which can even kill gods and he has also made his own magic weapons and guns.
Also, a god loli is in love with him so he has some Deus ex Machina to pile on top of his Deus ex Machina.

False. You are comparing a genre oriented towards teenager with classics.

His excuse is that he is only interested in girls with big breasts but most of the girls around him are lolis and those who fit his tastes are from nobility and he doesn't want to be chained up to some noble house just because he was horny.
>>
>>153521310
He also has two lolis constantly cockblocking him.
>>
>>153521204
You are expecting too much from isekai.
His trauma only causes him to be cold around girls, which makes them want to heal him with love. He's also an edgelord that kills those who treat him poorly but of course those guys are always sociopathic asshole rapists so that MC is seen as righteous for killing them.

That was always a weird thing. I don't mind it as much, but people do complain about it a lot. The only reason he doesn't lay his harem girls is because he's not into lolis, and the only reason he doesn't lay with the non-lolis he knows (ie, Karina or Nana) is because Arisa and Mia cock-blocking him until he agrees to screw them too—as such, his only release is when he sneaks away from all the girls and sleeps elsewhere.
He also apparently doesn't wanna sleep with any of the girls at his firm, for some reason. Probably just a personal ethical concern.

>>153521310
>only interested in girls with big breasts
That's just a preference, but he did go on some dates with Zena at the very beginning, who wasn't all that big. His only qualm is with little girls.

Maybe?
The MC has learned Primeval Magic, which can change the form of something to his will. He used it on a Demon Lord to turn their body back to how it was, but it was extremely painful for them.
On the other hand, he revived an old ass priestess who was dying of age, and (accidentally) made her into a fucking loli. His loli curse just doesn't give him a break.

What does /a/ think about The Amber Sword? Maybe it's due to the faster releases but I'm digging it more than Tsuyokute New Saga.

I don't think I've ever read or watched another Isekai where the main character doesn't get to spec the special snowflake builds and instead even has to force himself to spend points into shit classes just because the situation forces him to or else he dies. Everyone else usually chooses the hidden classes/jobs and all that shit but this guy cries while speccing into village militia just for some 0.X points worth of stats.

Fads never die though, they only become less prominent.
Also, Isekai is the most comon device in this medium so don't expect to see it die.

What you should hope for is for the writers realize that the hero's journey is a thing and that it can help them to develop the plot instead of "I'll just make the character OP, also fuck world building, I'll just throw DQ mechanics into this shit"

It was like that in Japan too, up until a few years ago. Pretty sure SAO was the first Web Novel to get picked up by an LN publisher, which then led to publishers picking up web novels like candy, hoping to recreate the success story.

It's pretty much guaranteed his biggest obstacle is when the Hero is finally born.
That's why he's steam rolling everything at the moment because he's still in preparation phase.
>>
>>153524672
What's stopping him from going to the hero's village and killing his/her parents or just killing the brother and sister that will turn into the hero if they are born already?
I don't think he really fears the hero since he knows the most about him due to playing as him. He is more afraid of all the people that will enable the hero to do all the bullshit he did in the original timeline.

Faraway Paladin is published by J Novel Club, not Yen Press you humungous pollock.

They also happen to be as far from Yen Press as it gets, most of what they publish is interesting stuff that hasn't got a translation already or has a dead or otherwise shit translation, and they start releasing immediately after announcement instead of a year later.

Seriously, if any English LN publisher deserves shekels it's them.

>In attempt to save a woman from a mugger he gets stabbed in the heart and dies.
>Greek Fates see it as a tragedy and decide to give the MC another shot at life and to take a bet on what kind of Hero the MC will become.

Ideal Hero: Hero who is all loved and never does anything wrong and can save everyone.
Anti-Hero: A Hero who has several weaknesses and despite this manages to overcome them, though their actions.
Pragmatic Hero: The Hero who commits actions that are over the line and are zealous in removing evil to save the lives of many.
Nominal Hero: A Hero who is a Hero for their own selfish reasons more than anything.

>MC is isekai'd to another modern world similar to his except Super Heroes exists along with Villains. The MC is recruited by the grand organization of Heroes in a city due to them having a psychic who can spot people who unlocked their powers.
>MC power depends on the route:

Ideal/Anti-Hero Route: MC power is to understand the weakness of his opponent in order to defeat them, but that is all.

Pragmatic Hero/Nominal Hero Route: MC power is the ability to copy and paste, objects that they interacted with.

The story is focused on the MC walking down one of these paths while encountering other Heroes, and the main antagonist successfully destroying the hero organization from the inside and starting a war in order to replace the Fates as the decider of who gets to live what life/who gets what power/ and so on.

>a chapter every 3 years

>the author died
Nope. He's actually pretty new to the game, but based on the afterword he wrote for the English version he has a fairly wide wealth of inspiration to draw from, beyond the otaku shit that most narou writers subsist on.

>I love A Wizard of Earthsea. I think that Sparrowhawk is one of the greatest wizards in fantasy.

>I love the Rocky series too. I've seen them countless times. (Except V. I repeat: except V!)
>Some I picked out myself; others were recommended to me by my friends.
>There are countless works and characters from America and other English-speaking countries that I have very fond memories of.
>I have received so much from your words, and from the works the English language has produced. So The Faraway Paladin getting an English translation is a truly happy thing for me.
>I have received excitement, emotion, and memories from creators on distant continents oceans apart. If I have been able to give even a little back, nothing would make me happier.

>It's pretty much guaranteed his biggest obstacle is when the Hero is finally born.
Will the Hero even be "born"? The hero is already a kid by now, and the only reason he ever became a Hero was because one of the Demon Lords went and terrorized his village, leading to the death of their sibling.
But that Demon Lord is already dead in this timeline, killed by Dantelian himself, and thus he never had the chance to kill the Hero's sibling.

>>153524818
>Yen Press is the only Light Novel publisher

>>153524884
>The Hero emergence is a certainty
No it's not. It's a possibility, but pretty sure Dantelian is confident he won't appear.

>>153525358
>Catch is the English release is digital only
Isn't this just because J-Novel Club is new to the scene and doesn't really have a proper pipeline for print publishing? I believe there was an announcement somewhere that said they were going to be working with some other publisher (Seven Seas, I think?) to bring physical books, eventually.

I wonder where this went. It went official. I'll pick it up. I was enjoying it.

Because the first game was called Dungeon Attack when he's playing as the Hero.

He's on the defending side now.

What's with you guys and time travel shit? What are those books like?
>>
>>153525629
Because he doesn't know which village it is in details, only that it was in general Margrave area. Dungeon Attack didn't get into too many details with the Hero past, something like a single line reference of the Black Plague ended up as something huge for Dandy so honestly, the Hero existence is all but certain.
>>
>>153525459
>Isn't this just because J-Novel Club is new to the scene and doesn't really have a proper pipeline for print publishing?
It's not really that they are new to the scene, but simply that is their business model and that is how they can release so quickly, because they don't have to bother with the significant costs of designing and printing and distributing the book. They partnered with Seven Seas to get Grimgar printed, but it is yet to be seen whether the prior digital release will cannibalize physical sales so hard as to make it unprofitable.

>>
>>153525825
The Black Plague and the Hero rising aren't connected tho...
Dantelion MIGHT have accidentally awoken him, or he might not have, depending on whether or not the Hero's sibling was killed.
The existence of the Black Plague doesn't play a part in this.
>>
>>153523828
Going by the cover it's about a gay communist revolution.
>>
>>153525994
It was to point out an inevitability of Fate. Black Plague happened in the past of Dungeon Attack, it's not too farfetched the Hero could have awakened either since it's a ''major'' event for the world itself.
>>
>>153525761

>No, Survival Quest is about what MMOs are actually about: grinding experience and gear. It's a novel about the pleasure of leveling up.

>The protagonist (egotistical and flavorless, as I assumed), is imprisoned in a full immersion VR capsule to serve out his prison sentence in an MMO copper mine. He feels pain fully from every rat bite, and the exhaustion of chipping away at mining nodes all day, but he also feels an addictive euphoria when he levels up his character's jewel-crafting skill.

>MMOs are typically sold to us as grand fantasy adventures, but they're really and truly about min-maxing. Sure, you can turn your brain off for a while and follow some quest lines. Maybe even read the NPC dialogue. But when it's time to get serious you pull open your stat sheet and start reading. Video games hide the "dice rolls" that used to be so obvious in tabletop RPGs, and it's the gamer's job to rediscover the math behind their success and improve upon it.

>Survival Quest is a terrible novel. Unlikable characters, casual sexism, and a plot completely bent to the main character's progression — far beyond the usual flex I allow in any Frodo-inspired fantasy novel. But it also includes stuff like this:

>Damage taken. Hit Points reduced by 5: 11 (weapon damage + strength) - 6 (armor). Total: 35 of 40.

>Buff gained: Strength +1, Energy loss reduced by 50%. Duration - 12 hours.

>How could I not love it? I blazed through the first novel, dedicating every free moment to listening. Then I bought the sequel: The Kartoss Gambit. And then I was out of monthly Audible credits, so I went and got AlterWorld by D.Rus on Kindle Unlimited.

>If I can extrapolate the whole LitRPG scene from Survival Quest, I'll say this: it's the most perfect depiction I've ever seen of what I truly want from an MMO, and what I'll never have.

and this why .hack did it far far better.

Condicering the author of Sao doesn't even understand mmorpg basics...

But dem steampunk mechas. The main girl was anyone as fuck but the series as a whole holds up pretty well.

I never realized how bad things were until this thread.

I mean, I have nothing against Isekai being a far or a genre, but authors using it for cheap pandering is just bad, no different than American comics replacing characters with gay ones for example.

But undoubtedly, there will be some good ones along the way, like the Yamcha one, just gotta ignore the rest I guess.

>Shit. I bought the subscription
was it at least the premium one that gives you credits so you can keep the book after it's out of prepub? Only reason to go for a basic subscription is if you plan to read once only.

Where are publishing companies able to find so many decent artists to pump out illustrations to advertise all these trash isekai stories they grab off the net?

A lot of the authors are cringe-inducingly bad but the artists that get paired with them are at worst generic and uninspired rather than outright bad and more often than not actually impressively good especially in contrast to the dreadful writing.

I can sort of see what Girlish Number was trying to say when they were bashing light novel authors for being truly the worst dregs of the industry that can't even draw or act.

Art is cheap anon

Even you have the money to contract tens of pages of good LN art. For company the price is basically nothing

>Art is cheap anon
So is writing.
If they can find decent artists for a dime a dozen why can't they do the same for their authors?
>>
>>153528930
Writing might be cheap but that doesnt mean everyone can do it well.


Maybe its the culture, there are more able artists than writers in japan
>>
>>153528612
Just like anything else in life, there's oversaturation. Cars, video games, books, food, etc.

Gotta wade through it all to find the good stuff and forget all the crap.

Anime when?

>Maybe its the culture, there are more able artists than writers in japan
A single artist can easily do illustrations for multiple ongoing LN series.

An author is much more hard-pressed to pump out multiple concurrent LN series at once unless they're Kamachi.exe.

Isekai is the best thing to happen actually, get some taste.

>>153519840
Dunno mate, you got stuff like Kamigoroshi that wasn't written by a subhuman, dunno why it gets ignored considering how many things it does right.

The brain rewiring part was pointless for both of them, but hell, who am I to tell people about what kinky shit they do in their free time.

I suppose it's because he has the reputation and the ease to decide how he can handle the situation by that point of time. At any rate, it's just supposed to give him that typical "Demon Lord" vibe, someone who could just casually order the slaughter of thousands. Any context to the situation is unneeded, unlike in later parts.

I mean, it doesn't really matter that he can't get the special classes when he still possesses the special skills and is literally a Planeswalker from Magic The Gathering.

Arifureta's selling point is how easy is it to read imo, you never get into endless windows descriptions and or longass side characters flashbacks, even tough the story gets really retarded and edgy at times.
Despite all it's flaws it managed to get quite the following within the sea of isekai WNs thanks to the fluent writing, that really helped it riding the isekai wave.

>>153509742
>everyone loves him.
Except abuse and manipulations continues till the end of times and all love he ever recieved was fake or to gain his trust. Yes its that edgy.

Metro 2033 feels similar to LitRPG's.

There is a big difference between contest winner LN authors, and those who just got loads of followers on Narou.

That's just my opinion though, there probably people who enjoy it for different reasons other than wish fullfilment.
I remeber reading somewhere that SAO was used in certain schools to teach fluent writing or something.
And Arifureta's LN publication fixes some of the bullshit happening in the WN.

>>153530587
Accel World is a "contest winner LN", but people still bitch about it cause "muh fat MC"
>>
>>153530697
And Faraway Paladin is a "got a shitload of followers" narou WN (which the author was inspired to write by his friend who entered a LN contest and got a publishing deal) yet it's the most atypical and best damn isekai in recent times.

Is isekai the new battle haremshit?

>obligatory ISEKAI IS SHIT POSTS

Just stop already, you are the vocal minority
