publishing companies: sorry we dont accept isekai manuscripts and isekai is banned from all competitions
also publishing companies: keep acquiring isekai webnovels and churning out anime adaptations

I'm curious about how the economics of the isekai torrent work out. Does every LN that gets an anime see enough of a sales bump to make it worth it? Have there been a few standout hits that made bank and they're searching for the next one?

From my understanding the only new isekai these days is from already proven popular free webnovels being given book deals as LNs, then based on how the sales of the first few volumes go it will also get a manga and/or anime which are usually coordinated with the next LN/manga volume release to pump sales of it and all the previous volumes. from reading light novels about the light novel industry it seems that a season 2 is determined off how big a sales bump there was and also the dvd sales.

For new or struggling authors the light novel industry is a hell hole.

It is but also seems like it would not be improved by the addition of more gals like the op keeps threatening

Wait what am I saying

the question is will this take a harem route ala hajimete no gal or the girlfriends for my male friends route ala last season's gal romance anime

Some new lore dropped in ep 4 about the mascots the dark and light ones know each other, apparently the dark one betrayed the mascot organisation but then also claims the light one is actually the one serving evil

The highlight of Healing Magic is how incredibly jazzed isekai girl gets whenever an isekai thing happens.

She wants to pat blurin so badly, even just that brief touch of his foot beans made her squee

it's like rose's old unit in healing magic didn't know anything about the concept of death flags.

Did Firefighter Daigo skip over a bunch of the story? Last episode they went from a scene with the two main characters eating dinner and home and jumped right into the middle of a risky rescue and I was expecting them to do a flashback to explain what's going on and why they decided to approach it like they did but nope, it just continued from the same point
E: I guess they did a tiny little amount of flashback but not enough to really explain what was going on

wow someone still watching it, not mocking you, but out of interest why did you keep watching?
