Having no intention of actually watching the video, it's certainly true that "method of transportation" tells you nothing about the work and is about as helpful and arbitrary a classification as sorting by the third letter to appear in the title

It's cringe because youtube has gone from content providers trying to make discussion videos for themselves and their small circle of fans, to click-batey poo poo as this is now an actual job for them and their rent payment relies on how much engagement they can get. Cringe gets the clicks. That being said, a simple tag system does go a long way in building an index, with isekai just being one of the tags.

It's probably my favorite isekai subgenre now because all the Korean webtoons are largely inoffensive and uniquely interesting. You don't find any slave harems and other typical isekai bullshit.

Enjoy the stuff if you like, but it least be honest that it's wish-fulfilment pandering schlock and not some deep complex masterclass of the genre and actually use you positions to give shout-outs to lesser known series that could use the views.

It's the Bile Fascination kicking it. quote:I believe in the value of failed art; art that is driven by carelessness, unchecked and untalented ego, by spectacularly low-stakes greed. It has a tendency to be novel, to be unpredictable in a way that deliberate art never can. This is why it's so much fun to watch bad movies. No one would ever make this game on purpose [...] It is not simply a lack of time or money that produces something like An American Tail: The Video Game, but the profound lack of caring. The end product of that broken process isn't worth playing for its own merits, but it is worth playing because it's worth remembering.

In a manga that I thought was actually cancelled. In Another World where Baseball is War, a High School Ace Player will Save a Weak Nation Player was about to graduate high school with full scholarship. Then a baseball loving freak god decides baseball on his world sucks poo poo, even though he forced communities to play it, and abducts the main character to give the sport a kick in the pants.   "Baseball War Pact"

It wasn’t canceled, mangadex has just been down for months which has meant scanlator releases have been real hard to track.

However the sheer breadth of the isekai category means that it's nigh impossible to use any one label to give someone an idea about what to expect from a specific work. Brought To You By posted:I mean, the problem with that is super obvious since everything past the premise of the transportation is going to be super variable and in rare cases incredibly niche. How is parody even a game genre anyways? Parody isn't a game genre; his attempt to shoe horn everything into a video game framework fell apart and he ended up resorting to more standard labels at the end.

This is generally my issue with every anituber is that they gloss over those less than pleasant things and go into these, "it's actually a deep and complex look into these topics" limp dick excuse fig leaf. Look just be honest that the burger has pink goo as part of its production and that it's there because of a combination of the cooks personal tastes as well as some of the clientele instead of praising it as Michelin Star quality.

It is very dark considering people's lives are attached to this game. It is not a sports manga but it describes techniques in baseballs and core training. Going have to disagree with you on the "pretty ecchi". Konasuba is what I call at the level "pretty ecchi" and this manga is definitely not that. If you mean the main character taking off his shirt and showing how ripped he is from training, which is normal since he was an all star player, then I don't know what I can say. It's unfair to give it that title.

I'm not talking about the MC taking his shirt off, I'm talking about how the art constantly focuses on the female characters' (and basically every "good guy" is female) butts and crotches.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the series, I just think it's fair to give people a head's up that the art's a little more focused on butts and panties than you might otherwise expect.

Unless it is super overt, it's in the background for me. I should really starting reading the light novels at this point and be done with horny artists.

I started reading the Tanya the Evil novels and they’re straight up “airport novel as light novel”, which is a funny combination. Red Storm Rising as an isekai.

As much as I love reading all these villainess isekai, I can't help but find it amusing that so many middle aged OLs just so happened to have been reading a trashy romance novel set in a generic European fantasy setting right before they died. It's just such an incredibly specific yet somehow incredibly common cliché for the subgenre to have.

What you don't think middle aged OLs read trashy romance novels set in a generic European fantasy setting? Because in my experience that's all they read. Okay, that was sarcasm, but I do encounter a lot of trashy romance novels.

Doesn't even need to be sarcasm. While not based in Europe or only being somewhat fantasy, stuff from Danielle Steele and other bodice ripper schlock sells from time to time at my CVS and it has to still be popular if it's still being produced in such numbers. Someone out there is buying these books. Bonus points for Duke's Daughter having the most Bodice Ripper looking covers for the LN.

It is interesting that its always a setting the main character knows well and never say, a book they heard about from a friend but hadn't gotten around to reading, or a book they read a decade ago and only half remember. The only one I know that touches on that idea is "Middle-Aged Man's Noble Daughter Reincarnation" which mostly uses the main characters unfamiliarity with the otome game he reincarnated in as a source of comedy.

Deathbound Duke's Daughter does this a bit by making that she only get about 3/7 of the endings or just under half the game done. So while she's familiar with the setting, a lot of stuff is still unknown to her.

Villains are Fated to Die, I think it is, she's familiar as gently caress with the setting but gets dumped in in a scenario she has no idea about whatsoever (because it happens before the original paths even start) and also she's on hard mode.
