Seraphic Neoman posted:The best part is where the girl with plot powers tries to analyze him, and then promptly gets the worst mental backlash imaginable and tries to peace out as hard as possible despite being incredibly smug about her abilities up to that point. He is not just death, he is finality of a plot! Not just peace out, new chapter shows she placed out so hard she hid in a subspace in reality where she sits in the fetal position and refuses to do anything, and hides from everyone because she's so objectively defeated and terrified of what she saw wasn't just death, but instead the omega, finality and the end of existence.

Legally unwholesome isekai report! https://mangadex.org/title/7f7d765f-3d87-41f9-908e-460b96449481/resetting-lady Resetting Lady. A girl reincarnates as the protagonist of a novel with an otome game-like story. You know the drill, where she's supposed to steal the villainess's fiance and live happily ever after. But after living through the story as it was supposed to go, she's murdered the very next day after the book's ending, and resets to one year ago. Then she lives out that same year over a hundred times, Groundhog's Day style, always getting murdered after one year no matter what she does, and by different people depending on her choices. So in this latest loop she decides to break the story entirely by killing literally everyone, one at a time. I mean, it can't get any worse, right? So, yeah, an otome isekai about a serial killer. Honestly I might even describe it as wholesome by isekai standards, but one character gets called a g*psy by the villainess, and given the circumstances I can't tell if that's the writer being racist or just the character. I just thought it worth mentioning. Anyway, one thing that's especially interesting to me about it is that it spends a lot of time from the villainess's perspective, and while she's definitely an rear end in a top hat she's also being kind of... gaslit? By the murders. And it's sort of fascinating to see her slowly break down and in the process become almost more sympathetic than the actual heroine. Even though she's still an rear end in a top hat.

That's actually kinda close to a premise I want to see in an isekai someday: person reincarnates and, going past murder spree, attempts to unmake the entire reality they're in because they find the concept of living a feel-good lie of any kind in a literal fictional world utterly appalling. What I'm saying is I'm still real sad the "kill isekai" isekai got shitcanned.

Been following that and the interesting thing is that it's not a clear cut story about a serial killer. There's the question of whether the writer, God, or a character is going behind her to undo her murders and smooth over reality. When she kills her personal maid and leaves her head behind it's gone a while later but the spoiled chick who saw it remembers the scene. The blood was gone too off her dress if I recall. So is our MC just plain crazy and snapping under the weight of a centuries worth of anxiety and suffering, or is something else going on?

Yeah, that's also interesting, I just didn't want to give too much away in a little blurb. The open question of how much the world is self-correcting, or if other people are doing it on purpose, etc etc.

What was that goblin/orc village manga where they're fighting a kingdom? One of the latest chapters was him summoning a meteor via earth magic.

Rudoku posted:It got axed a few months ago. There's a few chapters left but no one competent translated it yet. It's probably for the best. That format tends to fizzle out if you let it go on for long enough. There's only so many times you can profitably digivolve your main character's sister before it becomes boring.

I was trawling mangadex and found this completed manhua that people here might like. Not an isekai, but its an ugly, juvenile, stupid, power fantasy about getting revenge on your high school bullies and I don’t know any other thread where people might appreciate this trash https://mangadex.org/title/38dc5832-4714-4467-9c7e-fc9689fb149c/rooftop-sword-master I’ve also found some other actually interesting isekai that haven’t been posted before i think, but I want to effortpost those a bit, and some of them actually belong in the wholesome thread

According to the translator's notes a revised version of Reader was published that changes this arc quite a bit specifically to make the Japanese teams less universally evil and the comic is going to be following that version

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/...ng_with_is_ch01 This nonsense with an absurdly long title just dropped. Horny isekai fangirl gets isekai'd, but the world does not match her expectations. It's got one of the best orcs in manga.

It’s okay. There really isn’t much to it beyond “I’m horny. I want a slave. Oh no, I’m the slave! I’m horny” I chuckled a bit at the beginning but I don’t really think it’ll have much legs

new chapter of Endo and Koboyashi's Commentary on the Villainess just dropped, and I love how this series plays with your expectations. oh, the villainess is cursed by an evil witch, and she is doomed and must be saved by the prince and heroine? how about she has her own agency, and tells that curse to gently caress off because it's super obvious it's just spouting generic gaslighting rather than knowing anything about what it's talking about?  love it

An Active Hunter in Hokkaido got another update, though it's mostly gun-stuff (and one cute panel of the Goddess) And now for something new: I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game. Standard isekai setup, MC beats a completely unfair tower defense / rpg game and is rewarded by being transported into it as the shittiest character. Somewhat notable in that it starts out by emphasizing the value of the lives that are going to be lost, and the MC realizing that he's not going to be able to win the normal way by just callously sacrificing units to reach objectives. Does still contain some of the usual cycle of the MC scheming / MC gets hosed over that I've come to expect from these kinds of manhwas. The Creation Alchemist Enjoys Freedom -If I Am Exiled From My Hometown, I Can Make Magic Items With Transcendent Effects at the Knees of the Demon Lord This one is isekai-adjacent (the otherworlders have already come and left), but as the title says the MC gets kicked out of his home country and sent to the demon realm, but going there fully awakens his OP alchemy powers. While not particularly deep, I do enjoy that the main gimmick is the MC crafting stuff out of what is essentially a skymall catalog because surely the otherworld artifacts must be amazing (and they are when you're an OP main character).

I'll give this one a go next, I've been reluctant to try new manhwas recently cause the last few I tried to start have been super mid.

i was reading through modern villainess: its not easy buidling a corporate empire before the crash, which is about an alt-universe japan where the MC is a Nice Billionaire using her fortune and future knowlege to basically do a private sector bailout of the japanese economy during the lost decade. it was ok, heavy focus on business/politics of 90s japan which is a change of pace. then volume 2 drops this banger when she goes to america:quote:“The homeless veteran problem—I wanted to hear your proposed solution.”  dunno why the author thought having the "good guy" MC build a racially-segregated fortress city for rich people guarded by military vets was a good idea

I'm going to guess the author thinks that's good. To be honest, I am not even slightly surprised that someone who wants to write a story about nice billionaires saving society from itself is a racist libertarian?
