Artificer posted:What are some good isekais/mangas/manwhas/web novels what have you where the protagonist or some friends that have spooky powers or evil powers or skills normally attached to evil characters? But are good people? I love the concept so I'm collecting a list to slowly work through. Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg - Let's Aim to be the Strongest Reincarnated as a Werewolf - hard to say if this is good with only one chapter, but it has little dog people in armor! The Otherworld doesn't stand a chance against the power of instant death. The Soldier Sees a Dream About the Past - the MC has a soul pact with some sort of evil ghost. My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's - a typical edgy setup but the MC is decent so far ps. Death Mage Doesn't Want a Fourth Time is garbage that I won't even link here.

Vengarr posted:Why do people like Reincarnated as a Slime? I only just started, but the novels have been an endless series of shopping lists. I'm having a hard time getting through volume two. And I think people like it because it's relatively laid back(some serious mood whiplash at times though), the characters are generally fun, and it tends to avoid some of the worst pitfalls of the genre. Still blunders right into some others though. It's still a power fantasy type, and there's certainly issues to be raised about colonialism, but it's still not the worst offender of that sort by a long shot. The current arc the manga is going through is pretty interesting, with the newly-formed nation of monsters being declared a crime against god by the nearby militant theocracy, who have declared a genocidal war in order to annihilate the monsters as well as claim their extremely valuable territory

Same here. My friend recommended it, but I just couldn't get into it. Same with Overlord, even though that buffing scene is so real it hurts my soul. Then again, I recommended shield hero back to him, so fair's fair I guess.

Jackard posted:Reincarnated as a Werewolf - hard to say if this is good with only one chapter, but it has little dog people in armor! It's based off a LN called Der Werewolf, the Annals of Veight. It's okay. It cna be fun here and there but the MC basically has it too easy sometimes and it's not great at establishing tension. Not dissimilar to "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" in that regard. It doesn't quite have the harem situation that Realist Hero does (political marriages, but dude's surrounded by beautiful fiances) but Veight is still surrounded by women who are interested in him. It has similarities to Overlord in that the MC's past life gives him information to act differently from everyone else in his situation, and he thus develops an oversized but not undeserved reputation for being extremely cunning and deadly. Fortunately it doesn't really go into the grimdark edgy Overlord stuff because Veight is not surrounded by remorseless monsters.

So, uh, like, he can NEVER wear clothing? Or clothing doesn't even exist in this world and everybody's running around naked? ("Why are you wearing such things on your body, traveler? We know it is cold, but that is just the Will of the Prophets!") Or he can't find any clothing in his size, so he ends up wearing cartoonishly outsized giant pants with a rope drawn around his waist, plus a tiny hobbit-sized coat that leaves his midriff showing? The concept is so intriguing on its own that I almost don't want to read the manga.

I was enough of a :sicko:* that i checked the mangadex comments, evidently the hero eventually does get clothing! But then gets enslaved and loses it again. Isekai...isekai never changes *not enough of a sicko to read it. Also why isn’t that sicko comic an emote

Glancing through the scans, it looks like he gets clothes at the end of volume one, then volume two puts him in a situation where he gets stripped again. Since it's tagged comedy my guess would be that pattern is going to repeat endlessly.

Yes, the gag is that circumstances always leave him naked as soon as he finds some clothes. Conveniently there's a tribe of human nudists in the world as well, so it's just assumed he's part of them.

That's too bad, an isekai where the MC brings such amazing technology as "clothing" to a bunch of backward otherworld dwellers would be amazing. "I Was a Tailor in Another World."

https://mangadex.org/title/36197/makenshi-no-maken-niyoru-maken-no-tame-no-harem-life Dude gets iseaki'd as usual but brings his ancestral swords with him into the new world. One of the swords transmogrifies into a big titty lady who the MC promptly fucks Any other stories about a dude who wants to gently caress swords? Or other psuedo-inanimate objects?

Don't get me wrong, the gimmick will likely go bad at some point, but it's been tolerable so far and things are otherwise just cute. Like, this is as bad as it's gotten (one scene, from the end of chapter 2 to the beginning of chapter 3):     And even then it's still kinda half-cute. It's otherwise mostly just this kind of stuff:
