Out of all the lame excuses a Harem MC can make so as not to fuck any of the girls, this one's the gayest.

>Isekai
>MC is not only OP from the first chapter blessed with some unique power for either being reincarnated or by the gods but he's also edgy as fuck

Japs need to fuck off with this reincarnation bullshit and they need to learn how to fucking write a story. 90% of all manga churned out are just cliches upon cliches. Like why have an RPG system in a world? Why have harems? They only take away from whatever potential the story has.

Every fucking time. Even Arifuta or whatever that edgy motorcycle riding dinosaur killing bullshit was started like that.

>>160832172
Why do people assume a deconstruction of something is to just make it a thousand times darker?

>>160833309
Yeah, that shit triggers me too. At least in Overlord it's more about the psychological aspect but the Japs are absolute dogshit at writing stories. Like I'm not sure if it's because of the manga format or that's just how the japs write but it's infuriating.

>>160833353
Your regular isekai harem story is essentially the american version of a young adult novel. It's something people read to amuse themselves and pretend that they're getting sucked off by a pretty woman or seven. The main problem I have with it is like the above mentioned Arifutanari, where the author clearly understands "the cliches" but ends up fucking checking them off anyway with even more arrogance than your usual light novelist. Usually while the protagonist bitches about his not actually that bad situation.

>>160833443
Fair enough, I had to drop many English novels because of shit tier writing where the MC got some legendary weapon by some long dead king or he's actually the owner of a forgotten bloodline/magic ability and has to do something under the orders of some organization.

Why can't people just write a book about the adventures of someone in a world and forget about all that MUH UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE bullshit. I would kill for a fleshed out world with characters living in them instead of the bullshit worlds created just for the characters because nothing ever fucking happens that doesn't involve them.

>>160833493
People do write that shit. It's just not an isekai harem novel. See the thing about isekai that people forget is that it's not the kind of genre you use to make adventures in a world with no special snowflake bullshittery. The protagonist is in a position to have an alien view on this world and it's traditions, to brake traditional molds and to fight them or adapt as he sees fit. That gets pointless if the protagonist isn't stumbling upon all aspects of this society the audience is supposed to question like the protagonist does. If he's not meeting kings and warlords, I mean. But that means he's the focus of attention if he somehow meets them all, or he's Forrest Gump.

Isn't Overlord not even some dude getting transported to another world but the game just became real? How do you get invested in that?

>from the creators of evangelion
To trash it goes

>>160833601
I know but it's entirely possible to do it with isekai's though harem is such a fucking shit tag that it actively hurts whatever manga it's in if it wasn't made strictly for fan service.

I'm tired of all these MC's that get reincarnated and somehow can completely understand the language, get over the fact that they can never see their friends and family, and get blessings from divine beings. Why can't they do it where the memories slowly surface and the guy has to struggle to make his way in the world? This week alone there were dozens of isekai's translated and they were all 95% similar. Isekai's are also victims are cancerous fucking game lingo used by normal people like "cheat skill". It's just a genre with lots of potential that's used because it's easy to do wrong.

>>160833677
Powerful Lich drew lots of people in since there's very few where a lich is a main character. I dropped it because it was just SASUGA AINZ-SAMA over and over

>Magic School

>>160833765
It seems like something that would be fun but you'd need to flesh out your world and magic systems first. I still don't fucking know how magic works in shit like Harry Potter because the magic school setting is just there to justify magic. There's never cool shit like the Alchemy department interacting with some other department, it's always revolving around the chosen one and academics is always behind combat stuff for some reason.

Like I'd read a series about a magic school where students study different magic systems.

>>160833754
The thing is that shit can't last forever. Inevitably you will learn the language. It's inevitable that you will gain some level of power, because if you don't, that's a complaint in and of itself. You can't have a character that is weak forever. Idiots just make them too strong from the start and then when they get stronger, you start to realise they have no sense of scale.

My biggest problem with isekai personally is the setting. It's almost always the same kind of settings. Either it's a dark fantasy, a classic fantasy, or a fantasy with magical elements and the occasional dap of steampunk. Usually a lost society that the protagonist activates somehow. It's so fucking boring.

>>160833932
To be fair, that would take a good writer to make interesting. I can tell you right now that most web novelists don't have what it takes to make that shit interesting.

>>160834279
Exactly, it can't last forever because of progression but if you put two different people in the same setting at the same starting position you'll get two different results. Isekai's suck when it comes to progression because they think stronger = progression.

The settings you mention can work but the problem is that they're NEVER fleshed out. What authors do is throw in generic fantasy monsters then give the world some twist and call it a day. They never invent their own races or magic systems or much of anything. The story revolves around people near the protagonist so you'll never get some other country fucking up and that fuck up spilling into everything and drastically changing the setting with the MC being inconvenienced for once. At best you'll get war.

I have no fucking idea how some of these authors become mangaka's when they can't even worldbuild.

>>160834380
I think they fake it until they make it. Look no further than most isekai going "What is this strange thing found in our medieval kingdom...? Wait?! It can't be?! It's the <Ancient_Race>'s mystical <Item of Importance>. Let me tell you about <Dark Event> that led to <World altering state>" and then they clap their hands and go world built.

What, anon? You don't like the inevitable "It's reacting to your touch, you truly are blessed, protagonist-sama!'

Or the slightly rarer but still fucking god awful. "M-Masaka, protagonist-dono! How did you activate that mystical device?" "It looked a lot similar to <Japansese Household Item>"
