Holy shit please stop, it literally doesn't matter in the slightest since the author has 0 intentions of following their own rules anyways.

>the author has 0 intentions of following their own rules anyways.
really that's what I hate the most about this shit

if MC was restricted to the rules of the world people would probably like RPG mechanics more

this. Look at HxH, whose convoluted nen system is just glorified RPG mechanics. But no, every Isekai authors just had to go with the "kek jk, the Gary Stu character doesn't follow the rules of the world, fuck you readers" tired BS
>>
>>159637023
The author does in fact stick with "their own rules". They just start off by giving the MC different rules from everyone else.

In the case of this story, I remember the WN was fucking boring as fuck, because it was 90% grinding in a dungeon, and the world literally being a video game.

This particular series used the menu quite a lot, especially sense the MC has the ability to re-spec his character, and basically abuses that to do things normal people can't.

Infodump and exposition is literally the worst form of storytelling. It shows an inability of the writer to explain it organically through dialog or through appendixes.
>>
I really dislike calls out the protagonist for not knowing basic shit about the world they end up in.
Not knowing and needing an explanation about the worlds experience system is the same as someone in our world not knowing what a car is. You can't just blow it off with "i'm from another country".

Isekai Meikyuu De Dorei Harem wo AKA Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World.

It's actually rather old and sort of the granddaddy of the current slave/harem isekai genre. Shield Hero, Death March, etc are all derivatives of it. Practically the only good reasons to read it at this point is to see where a lot of annoying tropes came from, and pafu pafu.


>>159637912
Yeah, the WN is pedantic as fuck about the rules. And now now, it's not 90% grinding in dungeons. It's 60% grinding in dungeons, 15% cooking, and 25% grinding his slaves.

There sort of is in the WN, the MC spends a lot of time trying to figure it out and running experiments. Doubt the manga will explain it very well though.

It's funny how so many nipponese isekai writers base the personalities of their characters on a sexual inferiority complex. A real man would just walk in, embaress them, and be like "hey y'all niggas wanna keep it down a bit? Imma grab a water k?" and then go hit up a bar.

There's a WN with the same concept though. It was called "how to kill otherworld reincarnators" or something and it's about how a reincarnated guy with shapeshifting powers is asked by an Orc Queen to kill other reincarnators which he does by NTRing them out of their harems.

Something like that I think.

One thing i have learnrf during my years here on /a/ is that you always have to enter threads and say something along the lines of "why doesn't MC in X series just do ______? is he braindead?" or something you think other people would dislike too if you are new to the threads.
If people overreact to your comment and start attacking you for opinion that you may or may not even agree with in the first place, you can assume they are tumblrtards that can't see past their Narutoheadbands to see their favorit series flaws.

Once you do this you can indentefy the threads with more sane people that isn't the general where all the avatarfags lurk.
I only needed to do this once with the SnK threads to determin they were dogshit.
You couldn't even count what i said as a critisicm of the series and they still chain replied to me in droves.

I don't want edgy characters, but actually prefer a poorly written edgelord over the inoffensive generic "nice guy" protagonist. Just giving the main character a strong motivation makes them a cut above the rest, which says much about how low the bar really is.

It got fully translated. Author apparently stopped working on it because he got complaints.
The part I liked was that the MC just assumes that he needs to make a different story for the girls and raise their prominence in the narrative so that the goddess will grow bored of the MC character and let him die. He literally just makes it up and starts acting like it's true and it just so happens to turn out that way.
So he NTRs the girls and turns them into his fuckbuddies. Most of the girls are harem cutouts so they have major issues, like the book girl never talks to anyone and won't write her fucking books so MC has to steal her fanfiction and publish it to "make her character grow".
I figure it was written by an older guy looking back at how immature these harem stories are, I thought the MC was great. At the time it ended MC trained up a minor villain to being a 'hero' but MC actually planned for the villain to die all along because he's a dick like that. And he NTR'd a genius loli and the most pure christian girl possible so if that gets you angry it isn't your thing.

RtW had a lot of chances to go down another route, like Alicia didn't have to die, she was already skeptical of the church's teaching. Had Roland saved her she could've been converted to a witch friendly priest who could be his version of Martin Luther to led a new Reformation.

I managed to read about 150 chaptes while fighting my slepiness back when I had very shit taste in novels. The videogame system is super boring and dumb, YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO CHANT TO USE ANY SKILL INCLUDING FUCKING MELEE SKILLS.

Have to agree. Reading Warlock of the Magus World recent arc. LITERALLY D&D rules, even using an established setting.
Of course, the shitty writer starts by letting the MC ignore rules. It kind of works when it's your own bullshit system but when you're using an established rule set and then ignore them to show how overpowered the MC is you can go fuck yourself because now all I'm seeing is some shitty player asking for homebrew rules so they can special snowflake harder. Not even using feats for fucks sake.

>>
>>159647995
That's the thing I hate most about isekai shit and manga tropes in general.
A chant is suppose to be powerful, but using a character's most powerful spell in the first few chapters just ruins it for me, especially when the author is an inexperienced artist that doesn't know how to draw the spell and convey how strong it is and because most of these stories just started there is no emotion or sense of attachment to these characters because they don't even feel like people and there was no time taken in building their personalities.

It's a story about some dude who has OP healing powers, including limb restoration, skin, restoration, and pretty much resurrection tier skills.

In this scene he was recently picked up by a three person adventure party of 1 man and 2 girls, so of course he is left out of the loop.

I don't mind that one in most cases. In fact, there are times when I like it because it makes sense in a way when A.) Dragons are typically too prideful to take human forms B.) Only specific races of dragons are capable of the transformation or C.) only very powerful dragons or dragons that are magic casters can transform

>>159648987
MT is mostly for people who have a start again fetish. The beginning is literally the MC getting kicked out by his family because he has loli porn and then as a baby in his new world he stares at the maid lewdly and she notices, somehow. He eventually becomes a not-piece of shit but it's the journey that's the reason you're reading.
Shield Hero is a revenge tale with a cute squirrel girl.

His decision to fuck off made the series more interesting to me, especially when he finally hooks up with his classmates and he's turned into a sociopath harem master with a railgun.

Mushoku Tensei is mostly about the journey of MC but I havent followed the LN lately.

Shield Hero is not bad, but not amusing. However, I agree when they say the first episodes were the best part of the series, specially when pic related happened.
>>
>>159649704
Not that bad, but its still really fucking bad.
At least Tanaka is written with more than one perspective and isnt done as diary.
Also theres at least 3 characters that are pretty bro Tier.

mushoku is decent considering its an ln but thats like being the best mobile game. its still shit compared to a real videogame.
i only read sheilds wn and its shit the bed so hard im never going to give the ln or anime if one happens a chance. first half is entertaining 2nd half is everything bad about lns. he makes a slave harem/ farm and all his slaves love him since hes a good master. you dont even get descriptions of the slaves other than shit like catgirl and the slave farm arc just drags on and on. the villian is a whole other realm of shit.

Tact happens, but after that naofumi takes rishia and itsuki for a trip to glass's world to help there since the heroes there are dying. You'll probably guess this was the part in the WN where glass just had given up on her world and requested asylum on the other world.

Vol 5 covers the Island arc which gets redone, Two new characters are introduced and some of the happenings from the WN are condensed and streamlined. The conference happens BEFORE they go to the islandd. There's a wave on the island this time, and glass reappears.

Vol 6 is an interlude to the spirit turtle arc, and the first battle against it happens at the end. Some characters appear earlier here like Eclair and Kiel

Vol 7 is the spirit turtle battle proper, the stakes are raised higher more than ever here. Because the spirit turtle has been taken over by one of the heroes of glass's world

Vo 8 takes place in another world, and is the lastest english published volume.

One of my favorite scenes in the story. Hajime meets them at a restaurant, reluctantly gets pulled by his harem to sit down and spends the entire meal like a literal gangster curtly answering their perfectly reasonable questions while eating and threatening people with his railgun. I swear at some point Hajime being a thug became the most amusing part of the story.
>>159649905
It's apt in this case in every way. The popular guy in class becomes a narrative punching bag, both of the cutest girls in class and the teacher fall in love with him, he ass fucks a dragon with a steel rod. It's pure concentrated 14 year old fantasy.

That's part of why I just dropped Knight's Magic. I could tolerate the dreadfully generic characters, the sociopathic yet still bland MC, the generic setting, and everything else. What tipped me over the edge was the show ignoring the entire basis of magic laid out in the first episode so that MC could 1v1 the most powerful type of enemy in the world. Why even bother establishing rules? Just say they're a god made manifest so you can powerwank without contradicting yourself.

Vol 5: Covers the cal-mira island arc, The conference happens earlier, there is no party-swapping this time, all of the info from that gets worked into interactions with the heroes and their parties over the course of the stay at the island. Two new characters are introduced here that have a connection to glass. And she herself reappears in the wave that happens in cal-mira

Vol 6: In between the Calmira arc and the spirit turtle arc, the heroes are forced to go under formal training since everyone besides naofumi was rendered useless in the previous fight. A few characters that appear later in the WN appear earlier in this volume Such as Eclaire, Kiel, and the Granny.The initial fight with the spirit turtle happens at the end of this volume. And we're left with ominous words that are the sign of thigns to come.

Vo 7: This covers the rest of the turtle spirit arc.The heroes are missing after they went to bumrush the fuck out of the turtle. A woman claiming to be one of the Spirit turtle's servants approaches naofumi and offers her aid to defeat the beast as it cant fulfill it's original mission, as it has been taken over by someone.

Vol 8: A new arc, before the After chasing the perpetrator behind the spirit turtle disaster through the dimensional portal he left behind, naofumi and rishia end up in a strange place. They meet Kizuna Kazeyama, The hunting hero and one of the 4 holy heroes of glass's world. She informs them they're stranded in an inescapable labrynth. And so they go on their way to escape it to reunite with firo, raphtalia and glass's group, Who are also helping them take down the perpetrator behind all this bullshit.

Yeah, it's really quite silly.
I've read a few stories that tried to justify it as being a tradition started ages ago, and now the Kingdoms just use it when a similar event happens. Other stories reason it as it being the will of a god, while a couple claim that Earth is a "higher world" for one reason or another, and that people being summoned to a "lower world" end up getting some special powers as compensation.

Honestly, there's no real reason for it, other than it being a non-sense plot device.

Past a certain point - specifically the Roland vs Zero fight - RtW all but ditches the kingdom-building premise and moves onto magic shenanigans. It is almost a genre shift, but not quite.

Basically, once Roland becomes the King and defeats the Church, the story starts to go in very weird directions. Right now the english translation has another ~300 chapters until the jump the shark moment in RtW.

The best one I've seen is MC Hides His Strength. The fantasy world has a Children of Men situation going on where all children under a certain age died from magic super aids (some curse from the gods) and any new infants also die from the same thing, so they just mass summon people from other worlds to make up for having no children until they can remove the calamity.

eventually Roland becomes da chosen one

>>
>>159653963
Well I mean basically the MC isn't bad. There aren't really any other characters of note because they're either cannon fodder or haven't really done much.

The filler is there to help build how shitty that world and the dungeon is. MC isn't really OP despite being strong.
And the manga and LN being different is straight up hinting at alternate timelines/time loop.

>And the manga and LN being different is straight up hinting at alternate timelines/time loop.
Is that a headcanon or has that been confirmed somewhere? I've seen manga adaptations just change stuff out of the blue before.
>>
>>159655141
LN hints heavily that Junpei has died multiple times already. And that he's fought enemies in different ways and died. And the little sister of the girl he's actually dating is always there at the end.

There's no confirmation that the manga is an actual different timeline. But I'd bet on it. Or at the very least, it's a good excuse to change things up. Like the adventurers he met in the dungeon including one of his bullies.

Well yeah it's pretty much confirmed he's died multiple times.
My main confusion are about the two girls that seem to be exclusive to the LN/manga. The slave of the god in the manga and the girl who seems to have saved him/given him the power causing the multiple deaths in the LN.

Slave of the god is also in the LN. But hasn't made any appearances in forever.
The girl that saves him won't make an appearance in the manga until around the time he deals with the semen kraken I believe, but that may change.

Yup bad isekai get too caught up in the systems and forget they made the series to exploit a fantasy world.

>>
>>159655770
I hate how he proposed to his fucking servant in front of a room of high-born nobles.
>>
>>159655545
Oh my bad I thought I remembered the servant meeting him at the end of a floor in the manga but it was the beginning. She doesn't meet him there in the novel so he probably died.
>>159655643
It's not really a time loop. There's no indication he has gone back in time and there's actually evidence to the contrary. The thing is that the dungeon floors reset so he gets sent back to the start of the floor and it erases his memory.
There's a floor where he loses control of himself and rampages through an unknown amount of the dungeon before the girl who cursed him kills him, after which you learn he remembers everything each time he dies before his memories are rewritten. Then he ends up back at the god's place with false memories of just beating that floor normally.
>>
>>159655814
That little bit seemed so forced to me too. I was fine with the romance stuff in the beginning, but at this point I wish it had all just been left out and the series had focused a little more on the sengoku era personality. His one fight is the best part of the series so far having only read the manga. I don't know if this is based off of a WN or LN or anything
>>

If anything the system usually just has a loophole anyone can abuse, but since the MC is from another world he figured it out due to experience.

Though I believe there are times where MC isn't the only one who finds out about the loophole.

I wished he'd been a little more pragmatic. He acts pretty smart throughout but then ignores ya'know stuff like social status and bloodlines on a whim to be like "lol harem".

See the problem is that they are loopholes indeed.
The rules could be just interesting by themselves, and lead to a world of interesting results. Like, you got D&D, DM discretion is needed, sure, but a lot of cool shit happens as consequence of the rules themselves, not in spite of them. You want to cast X on Y, go fucking ahead. You have this very specific weird skill that just works great in this case, cool that you noticed.
Of course I guess it is to be expected of material that are so far removed from what originated the ideas. (Lotr&co -> D&D -> FFI & the following jRPGs -> MMORPGs -> Isekai)

It really doesn't matter how stupid their arguments/opinions when they're still reaching the correct conclusion in spite of it because let's face it: very few isekai series can actually write relationships well.

Most isekai really are just poorly written wish fullfillment and despite how overused the term is, a lot of it is still really fucking edgy because revenge fantasy is second only to harem/waifu fantasy in terms of prevalence.

>>159657844
You're being a little too narrow in your perception, I think. You can change the words "isekai series" and "isekai" to "stories" in your post and it would make much more sense

>and saying powerfantasy is bad basically the same as "this is not something i like, therefore it is bad."
No, it's generally about how the main character (many times a self insert of sorts) is some overpowered fuck with no flaws, and many times even literally wins for no reason.
It's like you didn't read this thread where one of the main complains is

thankfully, many more LNs are getting picked up to be translated and published in the west. Unfortunately, it is hit or miss by series, with most seeming to be a miss. On top of that, there has been very little indication that these companies understand the complaints of the fans who dislike the translations

>Unfortunately, it is hit or miss by series, with most seeming to be a miss.
This is kind of the problem. I really like the concept of J-Novel Club, but their actual selection of series is really small and overall not very interesting so as much as I'd like to support them I'd rather just download the few series I like from nyaa or something.

Sorry, I reread my post and I can understand why nobody got it.

I was addressing the last part of the post I linked to and what I meant to say was that there are no fans that dislike the official translations and if there are they should kill themselves. Especially if their reasons are to do with localisation and transliteration problems.

Official translations have been nothing but a boon to those who don't speak the Japanese language.

You know you don't have to subscribe if you don't like the whole catalog right? You can just buy the volumes of the specific series you like from Kindle or Kobo or something.
>>
>>159658347
>Official translations have been nothing but a boon to those who don't speak the Japanese language.
I can think of at least one downside, specifically the fact that once a series gets licensed (especially a longer series) the fan translators will often end up dropping the series while the official translations are so slow and lag behind fan translations that you'll have to wait like 5-10 years to actually continue from where you left off.

>>159658347
I think I get where you are coming from, but saying that you can't be miffed by localization and transliteration is the same sort of idea that gave us those godawful modern interpretations of Shakespeare not too long ago. I'm not arguing for hyper-literalism, but that part of the allure of LNs in the nuances of the differences in our cultures. Also, what >>159658196 >>159658420 and >>159658427 posted, but you seemed to have already acknowledge them. But going down their train of thought is that recently certain companies have been licensing a very large number of LNs, which on the surface seems good, but they don't seem to actually have any intentions to translate and release some of the less popular ones. They are simply buying up the rights so that they already have them should the series ever become very popular, like is the case a number of LNs over the last few years, and also as parts of deals with Japanese companies to be able to DMCA fan translators

Not that anon, but we don't have those here. At least not in Eastern-Europe. I've heard the name dropped in a couple of series and asked an American colleague of mine to which he said it was a huge part of his childhood, but was surprised I knew about it.

I ended up finding a store that sells them and it was fucking disgusting. Heard they're better if you toast them, but can't imagine it tasting anything other than shit.

Also while we're on the topic of food, what's the deal with these things? They're just awful, it's like eating pure sugar.

They are better if you toast them. You can eat them raw but depending on the flavor it's gonna be an acquired taste. Unfrosted Strawberry is the way to go though. And getting them in the box set is better than the plastic packaging. singles. Those singles are almost never good.

Completely glossed over, although from what Roland has said the forest west of Border Town is quite huge, so using wood as a fuel source shouldn't be a huge problem in the near future. Of course, in a few decades things might be vastly different.

IIRC Roland said the only deposits of easy to access coal were in the eastern(?) parts of Graycastle.

Damn, I read most Isekais mentioned here, but the only one that didnt bore me at all was Shield Hero.
>>
Is there a more realistic isekai (if this genre could be called "realistic at all") ?

Like main points would be:
>MC gets isekaid into dark fantasy world
>No RPG mechanics
>There are people who can use magic and people who can lift boulders with pure strength but MC is none of them and will never be able to raise about his human limits (from earth). So he is by definition always weaker than usual people there, may be even weaker than peasants/civilians
>MC can only use knowledge he is appointed to, if he is just a random neet he can't just suddenly build a nuclear reactor and AK47 rifle out of thin air
>MC will actually have to think and use his intelligence to win battles (he will mostly plan beforehand and set traps or try to avoid battles in first place because of the point n3)
>Nobody cares about MC in first place, neither love or hate, he is just a random peasant. No pity, no instant harem, no enemy who just appears from the beginning

Would be pretty interesting to read where MC will get actually people by using his intelligence and use them instead of fightning by himself
>>
>>159661141
If I remember well it's usually when something diverges from what he knows, right?
Anyway I have a soft spot for these kind of stories, even for that fire mage one, the manga was fine at least.

Yeah, I still can't understand people who seriously will try and say that Subaru has no powers like a normal human, he can basically kill himself as many times as he needs to get enough information about the future, and even if he fails he still can retry again.

Dark fantasy is one of the vaguest genres on earth and it can hardly be agreed upon. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

Groundhog day loops are NOT the same as Subaru's ability. Quit comparing oranges and apples.

I'm pretty sure 'resurrecting' like Jesus takes Subaru beyond human limits.

So Subaru was a chef or something in his previous live, then?

Honestly, it's one of my favorite Isekai just for gems like these.

>Q: I put in a lot of effort killing Wild Silver Zlimes since I was told by NPCs that they gave a lot of EXP, but I’m not leveling up at all. Is this a bug?
>A: It’s a bug. Due to a mistake, the experience granted by Wild Silver Zlimes and Berserk Rabbits were switched. Go search for and hunt Berserk Rabbits instead.

>Q: The healer in my party is not leveling up at all. Is this a bug?
>A: It… would be great if it was a bug, but that’s just how the game is. In this game, no matter how many times one casts healing magic, one would receive no experience. Either try to find a new, higher leveled healer, or try your best to let them deal the final blow.

Like it just goes off on these random tangents about the game, but they're always fun to read about. Plus as a game Isekai world, it keeps true to being a game with all the weird oddities and glitches.

Have you heard of an ice box? It's what people used before refrigerators.
It's a big metal box you fill with ice that can be used to keep things cool. In a world with wizards that can literally create ice out of thin air, the nobility will have no problems keeping foodstuff stored for long periods of time, albeit not in the most efficient way.

Because Mayo is a horrible food to introduce to a medieval society, especially a small village. It uses up a lot of eggs that would be better put to use as actual eggs, it spoils fast as there is presumably no refrigerators, and at the end of the day its just a luxery condiment. And where the hell are they getting lemons for it? Even presuming there's some southern land growing and trading them that just makes them expensive and makes the mayo even more of a luxery item.

So then you end up with a very expensive condiment that quickly spoils and is overall a waste of resources when you could have just bought real food.

Come on, try at least. And how high the chances are that you find into isekai world same plants with same function as here? Maybe they have blue apples which look like oranges, feel like potatoes and taste like tomatoes, who knows, so inventing mayo/other sauce will be a challenge even for chefs, and you want a neet to do it just like that
>>
ill never understand why theyd want to introduce some modern food to medieval society
sure why not if they are that retarded to not know how to put salt on meat to season it

but for the sake of it, to make a pork cutlet and shit?
mayo?
fucking red bean buns
and cream filled buns
what the fuck
these people can barely afford stale bread

>>159662646
You make and sell it to the nobility, or at worst the merchant guild so they can introduce it to the nobles. Condiments are for the rich since they can store them.

>>159662703
I can understand introducing cooking chopsticks but not chopsticks for eating, that's just retarded.

>>159662769
Every isekai story always has that one Eastern country with soy beans so the protag can get rice, soy and other Asian shit. I was just saying that it's easy as fuck to make soy sauce.
>>
>>159662769
bruh
ever read more than 5 isekai's?

theres some continent thats somewhere over the ocean with soy sauce and grilled fish and miso soup
also the next country probably has rice and some village so happens to have a specialty of god knows what that MC wants
>>
>>159662886
The point was not about other isekais, of course every shitsekai gives MC instantly his favourite food
It was about the realism, the actual possibility getting into similar medieval world like us but somewhere in Europe (well it clearly doesn't look like medieval japan in most modern isekais) and instantly laying hands on some oriental goods like rice.

Also there is right now a LN in translation with that bookworm girl (I guess?), as far I red up the european peasant food was described there pretty accurate compared to your usual shitsekai where you get soy sauce, rise, miso tofu and mayo on the first day of travel through europe

>>159661258
>>MC can only use knowledge he is appointed to, if he is just a random neet he can't just suddenly build a nuclear reactor and AK47 rifle out of thin air
>>MC will actually have to think and use his intelligence to win battles
Surely you realize both of those points are mutually exclusive, right? If he's a normal neet he is never going to be smart enough to win any battles.

This mal-tier "just don't give the MC anything" is retarded because the only way for an isekai protag to survive in a fantasy world without a special power is if he was already competent in the real world.
>>
>Medieval society
>Even the scrubs can somehow afford steel plate armor, chainmail, and weapons.
>>
>>159663062

9 times out of 10, usually some other japanese came before the MC and not only discovered that stuff, but cultivated it too.

Other times the MC just finds a good subsitute. Which may or may not be perfect.

a realistic isekai? for a Neet mc?
yea he'll be dead by the first week

like >>159663137 has said, they are usually granted something so that they can survive
be it being human experimented on, or having god give them a f-ing smartphone

theres one isekai that comes into mind
When I was going out from my house to stop become a Hiki-NEET after 10 years I was transported to another world
Mc is weak, has no power but theres a level system
also he has his house, running water and electricity so he can survive
as well as wifi so he can ask 2-chan for help

This perfectly encapsulates 90 percent of situations where an isekai MC does something 'intelligent' or 'revolutionary'.

It's almost always something blatantly obvious and every other character in the story constantly sucks their dick over it.

Yeah of course usual neet would die in a day. That was stated as an example I assume.
Let's just think of protagonist who isn't just some fat ugly neckbeard who junks off to bodypillow whole time but a bit autistic teen who likes explosives and steam engines. This won't help him on the first day but he will be able to use this knowledge later in the story for sure and it will be relevant and won't look out of place like inventing mayo on the second day in medieval europe

Why aren't you reading the QT doggo servant girlfriend Isekai?
So far it reads almost like straight fantasy with some common tropes. The MC has no memory of his previous life besides some vague dream that awakened a useful and versatile, but not very powerful (yet) magic within him.

What do you expect, getting better? Chinks have even less fantasy.

But why must he be a hikkimori? Why must it be stated that he is useless in anything and suddenly becomes useful without having any positive traits from real life? To please hikkis who will read it and imagine themselves on this place?

Why not some evil manipulative fuck like Light. He will probably find a way to get around in fantasy world without being able to cast a spell
>>
I want to read an isekai where the MC is just a normal guy in the new world he's been sent to.

It's a fantasy world, so there's magic and people can achieve great physical feats beyond what is possible in the normal world. However the MC has to follow the rules just like everyone else, he's not special but not below average either. Rather he's completely 100 percent average in basically every area.

So the MC makes some friends, forms a party and goes on fantasy adventures. Also no harem bullshit, the party needs to be at least half guys and none of that "everyone craves MC dick for no reason" bullshit.

Is it so wrong that I just want some classic fantasy adventures with a slight isekai twist, rather than bullshit wish fulfillment garbage?

Xianxia is a popular genre in China and quite a lot of the shit gets translated alongside the good stuff. Isekai Xianxia is also somewhat popular (although the protags tend to never use their Earth knowledge past chapter 50 or so). Isekai Xianxia with RPG levelling systems also exist but they're more of a hit or miss.

Yeah, that's why fantasy genre exists.

What is the point of isekai if the MC isn't going to use knowledge from his own world? If he doesn't need his world it shouldn't be isekai in first place.

>you just live happily into fantasy world as normal person

What is then the result if we cut off the first part? The same. If you don't need it don't write unnecessary shit, this is the difference between good and bad writer

MC is born of nobility but his father thinks he's the result of his wife cucking him so he just leaves him in a cottage with 1 dog girl servant away from his sight. MC is pretty weak and has little mana capacity, but discovers his special magic in a dream which makes him not useless in a fight. By holding his servant's hand he can do a tag-team magic of sorts too or something.

He buys his dog from his dad and leaves to see the world and adventure. The larger plot isn't revealed yet besides some hints that some kind of goddess is pulling the strings.

The background muh royalty shit is boring, but if this becomes a low level adventuring manga then it could be cool. 99% chance of it going from boring generic shit to boring OP shit. It just all feels so rote and generic, even for an isekai. Not saying you can't enjoy it, but you haven't sold the story well.

Ever read Superior? It's not isekai or w/e, just classic Yuusha fantasy (no based on a LN crap either), but it's a good demonstration of how in-party romance (even a love triangle) can work without protagonist fellating (basically by making one of the girls the main protagonist instead).
