I Won 4 Billion in a Lottery But I Went to Another World is a really fun and relaxed Isekai. I dude wins the lottery and gets swamped by people begging for cash so he moves to an isolated house that has a passage that leads to another world. The big twist is he can move between his world and the other world at will. The MC is really nice and relaxed dude so he uses his money to buy supplies in his world in order to build up an impoverished village in the other world. There's no slavery to speak of (the closest IIRC is a villager saying she'll be his slave if he helps her village but he immediately shoots that down and saves the place anyway and it's never spoke of again) and it's just a laid back story.

Theres a whole plethora of isekai manga/ln/wns, but is there an actual good list of the good isekai animes? I mean the isekai quartet ones are all generally considered good, what else is there in animated form?

Log Horizon is flawed but mostly good, but in the exact opposite way to Grimgar. That's for modern isekai, mind you. If you're willing to go for any 'transported into another world' story, there's a much larger library out there, from Escaflowne to Now and Then, Here and There.

It's easy to find, it's the page with the illustration on it. That will pick up right where the manga is at, and then that volume is over. And then, as long as you've got your hands on the light novels, just go ahead and read them all. Start from volume 1, skip all the spider chapters, and read the other half of the plot that covers all the other students who reincarnated in that world.

Oh, Drifters is also good, the anime for that is even better than the manga. Akanesasu Shoujo totally counts and is extremely good (albeit with a weak first ep or two) and like nobody watched it rip.

I doubt anyone's gonna be all "NO WARK I WONT FOLLOW UR DUMB RULEZ" but theres a problem with that second request: it's subjective as hell. We're already in a thread about the absolute basest kind of LN/manga/anime (outside of perhaps pervy stuff) which are genres which are already widely reviled. If you want to play arbiter of which power fantasy is good enough to pass muster, or to let the OP do it, that's your right as a mod obviously. But it also means people are gonna have to guess your opinion when they bring stuff up and you can't really fault anyone for getting it wrong. There are some ones that are so cringey that it's pretty obvious they dont count as "good" under any reasonable definition and that have been called out here such as shield hero and freakin cellphone isekai (which i actually enjoyed because I suck, lol), but outside of those most obvious of examples and those that have been specifically vetoed, what you're trying to institute is a guessing game more than a guideline. I'd instead suggest we be more specific than "good isekais only plz" and just go ahead and veto ones you don't want discussed on a case by case basis as they come up so that there's no confusion as to what is allowed and what isn't.

I think a blanket ban on works where the main character owns a slave, even briefly, might be a good idea. If anything, it’ll at least prevent derails where people try to adjudicate the work in question

Ah drat, I hafta put some effort?  Just kidding.  I think that at the end of the day, this ain't rocket science. Like what you said: Some of it is pretty self-evident. It literally takes a minute to go "Hmm, maybe not talking about another novel with the MC being a 'kind slave keeper' as part of the premise could keep me out of getting a 6er/a meaner probe/etcetera?" Like, I'm not going to be a ruthless Judge Dredd-style mod or anything of the sort. Just give it a quick thought. Usually that keeps you out of getting in trouble.

it is concerning that there would be a genuine issue with filtering out manga with sketchy, questionable, offensive, or just plain gross content but then again I have been reading this thread :| I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to use a modicum of good judgement and think about how a manga might be perceived by others. It is possible to separate "thing that is more or less objectively good" from "thing I read and enjoyed" where you can leave all the...say, slavery apologia isekai in the latter category and have the sense not to recommend them for general readers who might not be as desensitized from reading all of the worst garbage that gets translated. Anyway... I can't remember the title but there's a short gag manga one that has an ordinary guy with no special skills, who keeps getting transported to other worlds while he's in the middle of a bunch of random part-time jobs for like 5 minutes at a time. It's very silly and the guy is terminally dense but it's cute and funny, especially the reactions of the people he encounters. Maybe it has "freeter" in the title? I absolutely can't remember and apparently didn't think to tag it so it's not coming up in my list.

every story where the main character owns slaves is going to be slave apologia, yes. a sensitive, nuanced take on that scenario is never, ever going to be found in a friggin' isekai story.

Also maybe dumpster a lot of these cheat isekai that don't focus on them doing more than punching dragons? Like say, just women focused ones that don't stumble over the 'sexy costumes for reasons!' branch right into a custard pie. So, just so I'm not just making empty stupid comments like usual: Different World Hospitality Meals The plot of this one seems to be new world and you're just cooking meals for people. I'm looking here, maybe one of these that I skipped looks interesting to someone else. https://isekaicentral.com/index.php/category/femaleprotag/

Galvanik posted:There's a josei (shojou?) time travel series I've been enjoying. It's about a girl who goes to an agricultural college getting zapped back to 1560s warring states era Japan and getting dragooned by Oda Nobunaga into being a village chief. She uses her modern farming knowledge to increase crop yields. That's it. The title is Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga This reminds me of the best pseudo-isekai josei manga, 7 Seeds (I figure if people are willing to include stuff like VRMMO stories, something like that should also count). I forget if the nature of the setting is a spoiler or not, so leaving it out just in case. Everyone should read 7 Seeds. The art style can take some getting used to, and it takes a bit for it to get going (I'd read until the second group is introduced, at least), but it's super good and has an amazing cast. It has a very unique feeling to it, because it's far more character-focused than most sci-fi/fantasy manga, but also has more "broader plot" stuff than most josei/shoujo stuff.

I can count the number of isekai on mangadex I DON'T read on my hands, but I know better than to discuss half the stuff there. just be aware that even though you like something doesn't mean it's not objectionable as gently caress. it's not like there aren't plenty of threads (in thread, manhua thread, fantasy manga thread, shield hero thread, etc) where you can discuss it already. our mod is reasonable and easy to get in touch with, people aren't going to be banned for not remembering that chapter 2 of this 50 chapter series was problematic. at the worst you're going to get like what, 6 hours, a probation so short that have the people who get it don't even realize that they got one? 24 hours, a single day? everythingWasBees fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jul 19, 2019 |

OldTennisCourt posted:I Won 4 Billion in a Lottery But I Went to Another World is a really fun and relaxed Isekai. Despite not dealing with slavery directly, that series actually addresses the power dynamics of the setting in a more interesting way, at least. Like, everyone in the isekai world thinks he's a literal god, so they might as well be his slaves in that he could order them to do anything and they'd probably do it. There's a point where he casually invites a woman to his room (to give her shampoo he bought or whatever) and she just assumes that he's going to rape her and that she has no choice because he's a god and it all gets very dramatic.
