After about a year Kono Sekai has a new scanlator. They redid chapter 16 which someone did a no effort version of last year some time. Hope they keep with it because it's fun.

I really love this stupid story. The novel hasn't been updated in a while, though, which sucks because it keeps throwing new funny, broken game mechanics at you.

Another series I've been enjoying is The Evil Lady's Hero which is kinda like your standard "reincarnated as the villainess but I want to avoid the bad ending" except in this case the protagonist decides to avoid her fate by just staying away from everyone involved in the drama. Until one night she gets drunk at a party and ends up sleeping with the male lead. And then she just decides to roll with it because he's cute like a puppy and she's got a pretty casual approach to dating. They can always just break up amicably after he falls in love with the heroine, right?

I guess it's hard to pinpoint anything, like, interesting or notable about the series other than the protagonist's attitude towards everything. I guess she has much more of an "adult" perspective on romance that you don't see too often in these stories. I like the art too.
It's got good comfort food vibes going on. I'd say it's like a more thoughtful Bakarina in that sense. Also it doesn't lean too hard on any particular gimmicks (like Tyrant's Sister leaning on it's silly caricatures.)

While not an isekai in the traditional sense, it does feature an OP protag who has no idea how to interact with people and discovering how the world she lives in works (because she grew up under a rock/death god) so it still counts imo

Featuring a lot of violence and probable war crimes (eventually), plus protag is cute. https://mangadex.org/title/40770/shinigami-ni-sodaterareta-shoujo-wa-shikkoku-no-tsurugi-wo-mune-ni-idaku

It's a bit of a low bar, but I really appreciate that Myne comes off as thoughtless and cruel sometimes. It makes her feel more real as a character.

I'm annoyed at the pacing and setting of the story more. While the art and expressions are quite sharp and good, since the protagonist is fighting actively against being involved in the story to live a commoner life, it means we're just supposed to coast on dialogue and character interaction which is just ok at best. I have the same problem with it in novel form too.

This comes at the cost of worldbuilding especially since the story has some serious overtones when it comes to the question of fate and destiny and inevitability. Lackluster worldbuilding is already a symptom of these kinds of stories, but it especially bothers me in Lady Rose because I'm like, "dammit get a move on"

If this was a pure comedy, I don't think this would bother me as much, but I also overthink things to a degree.

https://mangadex.org/chapter/847240 new It's My Life came out a few days ago, and it's a good one.

I wonder where things will go and how it will end but I have a feeling it's going to get all super grimdark and poo poo with the stuff it's put forth with the main plot in the past. I much prefer these types of chapters(well, the majority of this chapter, at least) to that, but looks like it's giving us one last happy moment before snatching it away, as series like this are wont to do

The commentators need to tell the prince to have a frank and honest talk with the villainess girl about her tendency to unintentionally push people away through inflammatory language. The prince will not always be around to deal with those situations, and it's cruel to allow her to continue to make these mistakes just because the prince thinks it's adorable :colbert:

Dude picks summoner at VRMMO chargen, proceeds to hunt cute monsters and clothes. Full disclosure, I found it when I searched the crossdressing theme on a whim. But it's goddamn adorable and very wholesome. Although I have mild meta complaints about the game design and drop rates.

One of my guilty pleasure Isekais is Manuke na FPS Player ga Isekai e Ochita Baai which is pretty typical, but doesn't have anything terrible like slaves (Yet, anyway). The game is a FPS with abilities like jetpacks and summoning vehicles, lots of different weapon types and special ammo etc. the kind of thing you'd see in a sci-fi battleground thing.

Though we don't see much of the game, because the protagonist falls out of bounds and into a fantasy world.

the interesting part of that is how guns were only overpowered against the lowest level monsters. now it is getting into ridiculously escalations in monster strength and his guns are increasingly ineffectual. the guy's a trash mob sweeper in a setting without rpg levels, as opposed to the usual nascent demigod. his power has a maximum cap that can never be increased.

This isn't really true though. Every time a gun becomes ineffectual he just pays more money to buy a bigger gun. It's just that his 'power' directly require payment to use, but he can do things like summon tanks and according to spoilers I got robot not gundam suits.

He has limitations, but his power does increase exponentially as he gets more money and the series goes on

he's already at the point where he can't just effortlessly solo. he's kind of a leech on that full fledged adventurer party.
