There's that one farming isekai (not the ridiculous harem one), where the guy's power isn't immediately usable for combat so he just gets a plot of land in the wilderness and sets up shop. Right next to some of the strongest magical beings in the world, who he befriends through good food and just being an all-around nice person. His group essentially becomes a massive threat to the status quo of the world, but he just wants to hang out and grow rice with his friends.

Kwyndig posted:Oh the Executioner's Way of Life is very good. It's got that kind of yuri where one character is really into another and they have to work on their relationship. Except the titular character wants to just murder the other character and spends most of their plot beats trying to figure out how. It's also got a couple of great twists.

A friendship with an attractive lady that develops into love and marriage is infinitely better than the sex harems and slaves of other isekai.

I mean he does meet and marry her because he accidentally caught her while fishing because I guess if you get caught as a mermaid you're married to whoever caught you, but by isekai standards it's practically a tender romance. His reaction to the marriage is basically him asking a new roommate which spare bedroom they want to use. Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Dec 5, 2022 |

I like the horrific demilich necromancer priest turning into the neighborly grandpa who asks you if you'd like some hard candy. Shame about the good translators dropping it and then six blind centipedes on a typewriter attempting to pick it up again

Just for the record those guys got some proper staff and they've graduated to the lofty heights of "it's okay now". Although I don't think they've gone back to fix those horrific early translations so you might have to power through those.

Eminience in Shadow has reverse-isekai’d I read through the WN awhile back and I’m pretty sure this is a significant deviation from the plot in the most recent chapter. Which is good because I remember dropping it shortly after this point becuse it was losing the fast pacing that was keeping it interesting https://mangadex.org/title/77bee52c-d2d6-44ad-a33a-1734c1fe696a/kage-no-jitsuryokusha-ni-naritakute

Yeah I think the WN went into an extremely boring zombie arc and then fan translations stopped. This is much better.

I just read an isekai comic on webtoon called Saving a Mercenary Unit from Bankruptcy. Features Korean Corporate Consultant Lady gets Isekai'd though she isn't sure why, turns out that getting Isekai'd is common enough that someone literally wrote a book about it in her world. World she lands in knows about Isekai's already, and is rescued by this merc group who are literally suffering from Financial planning that you would find in a Dril Tweet. I kept reading as soon as I saw the budget item for candles.

Oddly, despite the weird premise it doesn't really seem to be a comedy? It plays it completely straight that knowing finance is a superpower in the world of mercenaries.

Let’s Buy the Land and Cultivate It In Another World is legally available in English—or at least the manga is. I’d assume the ln is too, given how these things go. We have the first volume of it in my store

I like how instead of the main character having to deal with having no combat experience and maybe needing to find ways around fighting using his supreme power to walk, he just dumps a point into swordsmanship and is immediately gifted a really cool starter sword and armor. Story should have been set on Arrakis and the MC has to learn to walk without rhythm or something.

After three whole chapters, why continue with anything interesting or different from the sea of garbage?  I wonder if future novels written by machine learning will be more original or less. Less effort, certainly.

Watch The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat And chug a beer every time you see the ugliest most obvious CG wagon in all of anime. The ugly wagon is probably my 3rd or 4th favorite character. Besides that it's fun seeing an isekai with a capable protagonist but it still has too much anime bullshit.

tbf it seems to be based on reaching a certain negative karma threshold which is probably not reachable via occasional bad behavior lol at drug use being penalized the most. although in japan that often involves meth.

You could potentially do something interesting with a setting where societal disapproval literally caused you to burst into flames, but I doubt that's what this author was going for.

They could have had some fun with it. Like it's literally the earth doing it. Their first move was destroying all nukes. So the most negative karma should have been like oil and coal ceo/ investors bursting into flames.

Yeah I was thinking about this also, and I think it’s telling what the author decided to show for their example. Would have been much more interesting if there were some wrinkles to the negative karma about pollution, sustainability, etc. and the definition of harming/helping the earth. Also the societal changes it introduces as people frantically engage in conservation/green energy for their own survival, which could all be just in the background kinda quietly. But nope, do crimes and get killed. Human-made laws are definitely the metric of absolute justice that people should live and die by. Definitely no problems there
