Wait there's another Skill Taker?

There's an isekai no skill taker, and if i remember correctly it is terrible. Maybe in the "lovely drivel" way that people might want as a palate cleanser.

I remember one about a dude being reincarnated as a goblin and eating monsters to get their knowledge that was interesting, if dumb. Then they find humans and there’s a huge justification for why he’s cool with eating sentient things. Then there is a bunch of sexual assault of his prisoners and a bunch of other awful stuff

It's funny you said this right then because like a chapter or two later from where I was when you said this, the MgRonald's gets shut down for renovations to turn it into a McCafe and it hasn't reopened up to where the official translations are yet :v:

But yeah I caught up to the current english chapters and I heartily recommend reading the manga for Devil Is A Part-Timer. The storyline it's been on since the end of the anime has been great and introduced a couple great new characters, Sariel(the big bad of the end of the anime) shows up again and has become a total porker goon from eating too much mgronald's because he has a huge crush on the lady who is maou's boss and wants to win her favor with constant business

the summaries for each character and what they've been up to are absolutely ludicrous sounding and I love it. Alas Ramus's especially. Pretty much every chapter Alas Ramus shows up in is guaranteed to be great, too.

Yeah no Skill Taker is the actual name of the series. Sword Dad is mostly fine.

I know way, way too much about lovely isekai because I enjoy the genre as dumb escapist bullshit and so tend to be willing to give things a few chapters to see how bad they're gonna get.

While sword dad was pretty funny I made the mistake of reading the LN and welp comedy relief character that’s a rapist pedophile because he’s bisexual. Maybe the manga will tone that down :sigh:

It's aggressively bad in a way I don't see often. Not even talking about the hentai aphrodisiac nonsense, But the MC is just this blatant Gary Stu that can "do no wrong" and always gets the right skill for the task with no brakes on his progress and everyone loves him even though he's technically the next demon overlord in the making. Yeesh, I regret picking that one up.

So it's going to be another kingdom builder type story?

I wish Tensei Slime Dattara whatever had a better translation because it's a much better take on the wish-fulfillment-kingdom-builder.

Mostly because no slavery is involved, everyone is willingly working for Slime Guy, and he seems really pretty wholesome and big on not abusing his power.

Does anyone know an isekai where the guy could only posess monsters in a dungeon (he’s like a ghost or spirit) and ends up helping some adventuring party and posessing a familiar to escape? I feel like that’s where the scanlation ended but it also might have just gotten lame after that

Also slime guy manga is pretty good, I kinda wish there was a little more internal friction on his side and that the monster town was a little more wild but eh, its lighthearted

Spirit Migration was pretty much fine but it got axed, and the ending is pretty abrupt.

E: Slime Guy is a trashy dumb manga but it's still better than most isekai because it's neither hateful nor rapey nor slave-obsessed.

it isn't vile but it isn't interesting either. there's never anything at risk because the author abhors risk. i'd say it is equivalent to the wn where an adventurer retires and then it is about the completely sincere and humorless process by which he buys a house and furniture.

You can't really make a truly gimmicky manga. Either it is only focused on memes from a small internet subculture, and/or it is successful enough to spawn a whole sub-genre to run the gimmick into the ground.
