I do have to admit, as a practitioner of it myself, I have to admire the level of skill it takes to fail to read the room this badly

Every time I look at the web novel thread to see what's being talked about I see folks talking about how much it sucks to be reading an isekai where the protagonist keeps sex slaves and then they keep reading it anyways. That's my isekai story ty for reading.

Kchama posted:Nah, I'd say this is untrue. They have a fair amount of overlap because Isekai is a very popular way to set up a GameLit/LitRPG story, but by no means does Isekai require anything of the GameLit genre. Hell, Isekai predates it by a lot in both America and Japan. Isekai's largely just gotten a bad name from really awful GameLit using it as setup. this sort of thing is caused by poor parenting, underfunded public school systems, and insufficient church chernobyl kinsman fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Feb 22, 2019 |

Enola Gay wasn't named after the pilot's mother, it was her, and they rode her to an alchemical marriage disguised as a Pyrrhic victory disguised as a Faustian bargain.

Good chance for everyone to be racist. And I agree, the reason those pricks want to kill the whales is because they can't gently caress them

Still trying to comprehend the sort of mind that can follow a LitRPG instead of doing absolutely anything else.

The difference between LitRPG and isekai is that LitRPG stays in its little online Amazon ghetto whereas isekai gets published and stocked in bookstores all over Japan and adapted into multimillion dollar projects by anime studios that infect far further swathes of the population.

when i was reading sanderson's meticulously detailed and yet breathtakingly un-immersive descriptions of battlefields i had a disconcerting experience because try as i might to see things from the protagonist's perspective, and i tried, i could only picture the scene in top-down isometric with all the little bloodless fighting men and buildings lined up in perfect neat rows, like i was playing age of empires

Sham bam bamina! posted:It's gently caress no. I, like all law-abiding people, dislike Sword Art Online! Also Sword Art Online is literally GameLit in its purest form, since it's just dumbasses playing video games. Also Accel World is just the same thing except I think it gives you powers in real life. Don't quote me on that, as I haven't read it. Milkfred E. Moore posted:As a fellow pedant, I respect your commitment to being technically correct. Power is MEANT TO BE ABUSED!! I actually just meant Aura Battler Dunbine, which I can probably hipsterishly preen that nobody has heard of it, probably because it doesn't have any stupid LitRPG stuff. Don't read this as an actual defense of Isekai as it exists today, though. It's alll garbage. Kchama fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Feb 22, 2019 |

I am going to have sex with this female Flame Atronach from Oblivion. I find the female Atronaches in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion sexy. However, their body is made up of 87% fire, and 100% fire surrounds them. That could kill me if I tried to have sex with one. To remedy this, the Flame Atronach casts a spell on me making me resistant to fire. Keep in mind, resistant is not the same as immune. I still take damage. It is either 1 point or 0 points of damage each second I am having sex with her. Just because a particular second caused 0 points of damage, does not mean that I did not feel anything, It just means that I took no damage. I am not going to rush through having sex with this Flame Atronach, I make sure I pleasure anything I have sex with, especially non-humans! I'd rather take damage than not pleasure the Flame Atronach. The Flame Atronach and I go to the Planes of Oblivion to have sex. When having sex with non-humans, it is ALWAYS sexier to have sex in their natural habitat rather than a human's natural habitat. Before we went into the Planes of Oblivion, the Flame Atronach let all the Daedra know that we are just here for sex. The Daedra will not attack us because they know I am here at the Planes of Oblivion on sexual business. This includes the Dremora. However, the Dremora Marknyaz thinks that I am going to be an easy recruit for becoming a follower of Mehrunes Dagon considering that I am having sex with a Flame Atronach. However, I have no interest in becoming a Daedra.
