Even better if the MC is barely hanging on...
>>160201647
It's already been done. A lot as a matter of fact.
Isekai isn't just some new thing that started recently. It's old as fuck. And MCs who were completely out of their depth and barely surviving was fairly fucking common if not the majority.
Full on transported to a new world where the MC is OP as fuck was sort of a bad thing in media for a long ass time.
This new thing is actually quite fun if you find some bit of guilty pleasure that you yourself will enjoy.
>>160201647
They won't, they can't have isekai without wish-fulfillment fantasy now
When will you raise your powerlevel
>>160201647
Yes. No manga or anime adaption in sight though...or translation for that matter.

Will Japan actually just make video games of these in the future instead of polluting the industry with garbage isekai?
>>160202489
Subaru gets infinite retries, that's OP.
Goblin is very strong
>>160201647
Isekai will never be good
>>160204772
You mean infinite getting fucked in the ass? Yeah, sure.
>>160202395
Where have I seen the maid before?
Any MC that becomes a slave?
>>160204772
Subaru doesn't choose when and where he resets. It's controlled by a third party who is probably the Witch who wants something done that involves Emilia.
>>160201647
If Medaka box was still running, would they have an Isekai arc with Kumagawa dismissing it all as stupid?
More importantly why hasn't anyone made an isekai with a main character like Kumagawa, who never wins even when his enemies lose?

Infinite retries not so much. In the what if where he abuses it he is basically an emotionless machine. In the what if where he just can't get past arc 1 (keeps dying) he ends up going insane and decides (and succeeds at) to burn down the country.
Basically abusing his resets is a terrible idea.
>>160206043
Shieldbro is pretty OP. Only really gets fucked over at the start. Now he is just a generic harem MC.
>>160208122
wn or ln? Also, if you're interested, spear hero gaiden is resuming translations once again.
>>160201647
Yes, raise your fucking powerlevel.
>>160201647
Does Drifters count?
Try One Punch Man then
>>160201647
Try Isekai from the mid-aught and earlier.

And dragons.
go read Marchen Heaven

MusoTen wasn't OP
He has an OP dragon boss but the MC jobs as much as Gohan.
>>160201647
The mushoku guy gets demolished in literally every major fight.
>>160204772
yeah but he fails at every one of them
not OP
>>160205705
>Log Horizon
Glasses's strategic genius is OP as fuck
Then don't read shonenshit isekai.
Read superior non-harem romcom isekai instead.
>>160210730
>non-harem romcom isekai
wtf is that?
>>160210812
It's romcom but with isekai setting. Plus it's not harem.
>>160210544
That's only if you match him up against that world's top rankers, his OPness lies in the story's overall as is his plot armor that brushed-off a god trying to kill him and his family.
>>160211110
I don't think "alls well that ends well" plot-armor is an indicator of OPness. Else most battle shounen and sit-coms apply.
>>160201647
this page gave me cancer
How do you make an Isekai MC not OP
Hard Mode: no Berserk-level suffering
Nightmare Mode: no Re:zero level either
>>160211086
>It's romcom but with isekai setting. Plus it's not harem.
I was going to ask you to name just one example, but then remembered that Atelier Tanaka exists.
So can you name just one example, that does not suck? Because Atelier Tanaka is fucking awful so surely you're not suggesting anyone should read that garbage.

You can have wish fulfillment without the MC being OP

There you go.
>>160212356
Literally every non-battle harem series agrees with your post.
>>160212276
Takeru was super OP. The only mitigating factor in the climax was placing him outside of a TSF so he can't use his OPness.
>>160205059
Because he's one of a kind.
The only chapter where you can actually hear what he's thinking is in his last chapter, but from start to the end we never know what he's thinking.
And not knowing what MC's thinking has never been done in any isekai whatsoever.Fuck MC, bring a character like Kumagawa even as a villain or side character would make it better.

>And not knowing what MC's thinking has never been done in any isekai whatsoever
There's a Korean isekai where the MC is a murderous psychopath and you don't know what he's thinkingbut you can infer he's constantly thinking of how to kill everyone around him.
Too bad the writing quality is low and there's an annoying sperg japanese schoolgirl because otherwise it would be a great series.
>>160201647
This guy.
>>160214530
This is worst exposition of isekai at its finest.
>>160209204
Source?
>>160205059
Never read Medaka Box, but heard about Kumawaga. How does that work? Are all his victories just phyrric?
>>160205141
Surprised how fun this is. It's amazing how you can make gold by just having the MC forced to wallow in shit. It almost feels like Ed, Edd, and Eddy in a way.
>>160214530
wait so he financed his own penthouse apartment though stock manipulation?
>>160215223
wait, let me give you one of his battle.I jumped to this chapter first time into medaka box without knowing anything about it, and it hooked me up, let me find it for you
>>160215273

It's "fun"

>>160215273
It's the best when the MC is at least partially the cause of the shit he's wallowing in. Kind of like Kaiji, only the MC is lovably hateable.
