Brought To You By posted:I really am going to enjoy this villainous story. Every time a new character shows up is magic I just want to say that the latest chapter just came out and even though it contains the guy giving her a super dramatic kiss to save her life with his holy powers, most of the comments are just worried about the poor innocent flesh-eating butterfly familiars that need to feed on her poisonous blood. And I absolutely agree, I am super worried for those butterflies. Clarste fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Feb 8, 2021 |

Oh boy that's potentially bad news on those butterflies because if she doesn't have more from the 1st batch and the 3rd egg fails she's hosed. Nothing to give to dad for a good review and losing her info network

I came across a WN that piqued my interest and sitting right there in the first chapter was this:quote:I’ll explain. Why was I left behind? Ahahahaha, gently caress off. Thanks for putting that right out front though, since it means I won't waste any time. (The WN is Maid Will Go on Through Thick and Thin! just to save anyone else time if they see it.)

Imagining She-Hulk crashing into that world like a meteor and the universe folding on itself because even this fantasy world- I'm assuming that has magic, dragons, etc etc- cannot exist if the women are not all small and harmless like Alice in Wonderland.

Like she develops "Supreme Goddess" powers because yeah, holy poo poo that was hosed up. I was wondering that too, so I did read a few more chapters past the first and checked out the reviews, which are overall positive (4.5ish stars, if I'm remembering correctly). The MC stays in the room they arrived in, which is the Chemistry lab they were in when they were all transported, and keeps picking up support skills that all stick with the Maid theme while her classmates keep getting attack skills (it is a fantasy world, with swords and magic). The only exception is some kind of animal training skill, based on the tags on NovelUpdates. She's also the only woman and the only one that stays back, at least up to chapter 10, which is where I stopped skimming. The reviews all mention stuff along the lines of it being a good story about the people that stay behind to support those that go out. While that might be an interesting perspective to read, basing it around  as the reason your MC stays back isn't how you do it.

Posted in the other Isekai thread, reposting here because WHY NOT. Buta Koushaku ni Tensei Shitakara, Kondo wa Kimi ni Suki to Iitai I've been reading it lately, and it's quite good. MC is watching an anime and wakes up the next day as the 'Piggy duke' - A side character in an anime he likes. The Piggy Duke is widely hated as being a fat, terrible character who abuses his power and authority and is a complete rear end. But at the same time he's got good reason for acting like he does, and in reality he's a very kind and devoted guy. The character has a tragic story in the anime (Lost love, not lost life), so the MC decides to try to avoid the tragedy and aim for a happier ending. https://mangadex.org/title/24206/buta-koushaku-ni-tensei-shitakara-kondo-wa-kimi-ni-suki-to-iitai It's quite interesting, no slavery, only the mildest of fanservice (One 'girls chatting in a bathtub' bit which seems drat near required for most manga these days), an MC who's really likable despite not being the protagonist of the anime. Also a big fat awesome CAT! 'There's plenty of action, plenty of fights and magic and so on. I'd highly recommend giving it a look to anyone who's looking for a fun new series. khy fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Feb 19, 2021 |

Similar to the wave of otome game villainess manga that popped up over the past few years, it's refreshing to see the protagonist be from a different walk of life than 'powerful-but-underestimated villager/low-rank noble' that most isekai use.

It was fun and I don't recall anything objectionable. I guess some people might find the "short fat kid lives romantic fantasies" to be eyeroll worthy wish fulfillment but even there it was established he had had a reason to try to ruin his appearance and was working hard to lose weight afterwards.

As far as isekai wish fulfillment goes, it's a 3/10 at best. He went from RL normal dude (From what I can tell in the single silhouette panel on page 1) to in-game short fat kid, he did gain strong magical power but became hated and a laughingstock at the same time, and he doesn't have women throwing their crotches at him everywhere he goes. He has to work harder than 90% of isekai protags out there. S'one reason I like it, he actually puts in effort to get good results and doesn't get poo poo just handed to him by a miraculous voice.

This one popped up on my radar; Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra. Story goes that a sickly kid passes away and gets isekai'd to a world where he can use his RTS skills, but for real as he was the best in the world. Of course he played the requisite evil race and rather than a goddess he has a hero unit from the game as his companion and tag-along so reminiscent of Overlord. Story hits some familiar beats like conscripting a destitute race into the fold and at least there's a laugh or two about a well adjusted kid playing the part of the "God of Ruin" about as well as you'd expect. His partner fills that role out for him though.    So far not a bad series Felt bad for Sir Wendel since he got saddled with the dumbest member of his order Shinju no Nectar has shifted over to it's fantasy equivalent of Constantinople going off some of the comments.

It's got a nice combination of comedy and brutality so far, and I appreciate the pairing of a "nice" PC paired with a ruthless NPC (and unlike Overlord you don't have to deal with the PC trying to act cool).

The thing I enjoy the most about this one is that the character is supposed to be very smart and perceptive and most of the time it actually feels very natural and not forced. I don't see those character traits portrayed well that often and I think the author does a pretty decent job of it.

Bought and read Vol 5 of Undead Adventurer manga. THEY GAVE EDEL A COCKNEY ACCENT IN THE 4KOMA AND HE SAID THE "YOU WOT M8?" Rentt is also still cool bro and LN8 is getting translated as well and should be out in June. Edit: The cover for LN8 is...rather eyebrow raising. Very much makes it clear that some poo poo is about change.

An interesting article on the history of the Narou school of isekai: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2021-03-19/mushoku-tensei-is-not-the-pioneer-of-isekai-web-novels-but/.170429 Short version: It's all secretly Familiar of Zero fanfiction. There's an interesting parallel (not mentioned in the article, although someone in the ANN forum thread notes it) to English-language anime fanfiction like Hill of Swords (in which Shirou from F/SN is summoned into the world of Familiar of Zero).

There have been two new chapters of Drifters in the past days,  I like cool old men but Hirano is killing me with these hiatuses. On the other side of logistical isekai, catching up on the RTS isekai showed that the truest way to diplomatic relationships is to drop the F-bomb.

doomrider7 posted:Finished all three chapters out and hope that if goblins show up, they're like the ones from Slime or that other new isekai with cute gobbos. Alternatively, Dungeon Nursery or Wasabi styled ones are also welcome. Super weird quoting my own posts, but now I'm trying to recall which anime or manga this was. I think it might be the one with the Gandalf guy reincarnation himself as a child and being raised by a goblin tribe similar to Slimes, but can't recall the name.
