Tachiyomi is a third party Android app that will do that with mangadex and a few other reader sites. It doesn't sync with accounts or anything so you'll have to manage what you've read.

If you follow a manga it will track whether you have read a chapter yet, it won't track the last page read yet though.

I remember enjoying it but for the life of me I can't remember anything that happens in it except I don't think there's anything people would find gross. It's another one of those isekai manga where the protagonist has ultimate power but just wants to chill in rpg land.

Power fantasy fluff.

It's mildly amusing, mostly inoffensive aside from the standard "dark elf with sad past" love interest wish fulfillment character, and never goes anywhere. The MC is so far above everything and anyone that he's completely led by his whims in everyday life. Some day he wants to build a house, so he invents decent architecture. Keeping up with his dragon pals is a pain so he uses his infinity+1 magic levels to invent laptops to keep in touch without having to meet up in person, and so on.
Luckily he's not a creep, so it's really benign stuff he gets up to. Never really any serious conflict either.

Fluff, as the one above said. Translation isn't great, but at lest you probably won't badly regret checking it out.

I don't think I've seen discussion around Isekai Omotenashi Gohan. It's another manga in the vein of "person from Japan makes food for people in generic fantasy world"; two sisters (and their dog) get magicked into the fantasy world and the younger sister takes up service opposing (magical, nebulous) corruption while the older sister hangs out and cooks food for her and a handful of others. Overall it's pretty fun, with some moments of a varying level of sadness. Here are some semi-random pages:

Pretty much what everyone else said, though I've stopped following it after having a bit of hope at the start. While I liked the introductions and back story for the women side characters, most everything that happens around them after that is very light harem stuff and they don't really get to do anything despite being the most interesting characters in the story.

So many threads with overlap! I think I followed some of them late, and hadn't seen it so far. The little niche of isekai-but-just-cooking tends to be pretty chill.

It is from Necropolis, and while it did start updating again, it also stopped updating again. This av is actually pretty old--possibly from back before he started posting the actual story-having parts of Necropolis, which would put it back sometime in like 2014-2015. Either way, I really don't know the current status. The tumblr for it says "The site updates on Wednesday evenings, usually with a new page of the comic" in spite of the fact that it clearly isn't true.

So here's something that might be interesting, probably mediocre, or maybe awful (there's only one chapter, in either English or Japanese), but it has me wanting to at least see chapter two.

Welcome to Japan, Elf-san

quote:

Kitase Kazuhiro is an ordinary salaryman who always leaves the office on time. Though this is Japan, so perhaps he's not really ordinary after all. What's truly strange comes after that; Every night, he takes a shower, changes into his pyjamas and has a good night's sleep. Then he dreams of a fantasy world, and only wakes up when he dies or sleeps in that world.





quote:

One day, he's killed after stumbling onto a dragon's lair. "A nightmare", he sulks, until he finds his elf friend in his bed.

Curious to see an elf waifu experience daily life in Japan? How's it like to walk with every man's fantasy on the streets of Tokyo? This manga is for all you elf lovers out there!

Very very slightly :nws:, it's a nude elf waking up under a blanket.

a new isekai series, the very first two pages show a lot of promise

https://mangadex.org/title/31942/kono-yuusha-ga-ore-tueee-kuse-ni-shinchou-sugiru

quote:

The story begins when the goddess LRista summons a hero to help her hard mode video game-like world. The hero, Seiya, is exceptional in every way, but he is incredibly cautious. He does things like buy three sets of armor (one to wear, a spare, and a spare for the spare) and go full power against weak slimes (just in case).




If it focuses as much on the concepts of a god realm organization and how they need to summon people to various worlds as a sort of business thing that could be real interesting. As is, it's pretty entertaining and funny, and the art is quite good.

edit: and another one, "I'm a Villager, So What?"

I was pretty ready to write this one off as another generic, not noteworthy game-style isekai, but when he cheesed the leashing of a monster summoned to protect a specific room, then accidentally punched a hole in the wall next to the door of said room and threw a bunch of burning wood into the room through said hole to suffocate the monster with carbon monoxide I was like "y'know Villager Isekai, I think you're alright".

Also everything to do with the Dragon King who just wants to be absolutely fabulous in his human form wearing ostentatious suit-and-tie getups he got from another reincarnated is wonderful, as is the Red Dragon who just wants to go home

I binge read through villager and ultimately find it kinda boring. It's got a lot of flash but it moves a bit too fast for it's own good. Too much stats, not enough earning it's flashy stuff via exposition.

The other one though has a bit of promise.

Cautious Hero's joke is gonna wear off fast if it doesn't have anything else going for it.

Villager, uh, Villager needs to slow down and take some time to like, do characterization and make us care about literally any of these people except Dead Dragon Grandpa. The only poo poo it's done is numberwang and exposition.

Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
Its cool that Villager dove into a fun slavery sideplot for no reason other than to give a character an extra tragic backstory. At least the MC didn’t try to buy the character to circumvent the slavery magic and instead works towards removing it

The best parts are when he gets surprised about the world being hosed because of his meddling, the boring parts are when the fuckups have zero consequence, like most isekai. It does have some good crazyface on all the characters though
