EDF vs Dragon Quest fantasy world doesn't sound too terrible either. The potential for weird genres clashing against each other is the main reason I'm excited about ONE's (the One Punch Man guy) Versus manga. Because I am quite curious to see creative people tackling different types of energy colliding with each other. Like, Earthbound Psi energy vs a psychic Pokemon using Confusion. What's the difference and should one even be stronger than the other? I dunno, but I bet you can make some compelling fiction out of it if you were interested.

no idea why its an isekai, but maybe it will come into play more. The prologue didn't seem to have anything to do with it. edit: oh, its standard japanese food cheats and stuff, i feel like it could have just went with the usual regular demi-human stuff but started reading the manga, Happy Harem Making with the Mighiest Orc. about as silly as you expect from the title GateOfD fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Feb 26, 2023 |

Ehh, the first three chapters were interesting but then it dives into an edgy war. They spent over a dozen chapters on this pointless curbstomp, probably could have shortened it to one or two. I think you could skip straight to chapter 17..?

The most common reactions to Sponger Life are, as follows: 1. "Expected this to be way hornier than it is, judging by the first chapter" 2. "Huh, the political intrigue actually kind of makes sense in this one" 3. "this dude loving LOVES his wife"

RareAcumen posted:This is fun. I need a Webtoon list, there's lots of good stuff there that I'm just not able to find. I like The Fabled Warrior- a Reverse/postgame Isekai with an added wrinkle of 'Whoops, time in the other world and on Earth function like how a year for Mercury and Jupiter are totally different!' And Rewriting the Villainess Which is another one of those reverse Isekai that I'm always a fan of. Both of these have great takes on using isekai as a plot device to tell pretty non-isekai stories, thematically at least. Fabled Warrior gets a bit too miserable like manhwa can be (which is not bad, just need to be in the mood) and I put it down after 20 some chapters. Rewriting the Villainess is incredible though and the last few chapters have really ratcheted up the tension and really given some great flaws to the MC who was doing pretty well otherwise. Thanks!

fabled warrior is very mean spirited. it's a woman with extreme ptsd from being an isekai hero being constantly triggered and also trying to keep her idiot daughter from facing the same fate. she's also constantly failing because no one who understands what is going on is on her side.

   So the core premise of this story is that in order to research this bizarre hole in the ground filled with tentacle monsters we're going to send a bunch of women into it? Kind of a bizarre spin on Made in Abyss for sure but I think I'm good.

On the other hand, the protagonist looks at least five years older than the Abyss cast, and as Assassination Classroom taught us, tentacles don't always mean... that.. I mostly want to know what the deal is with that head in a jar though.

Kwyndig posted:I've been reading one where the entire island chain of Japan gets isekai'd to a fantasy world and their modern military just wrecks everyone's poo poo. Like the Demon Lord is resurrected and they perform a decapitation strike with a missile that literally decapitates him and blows the rest of his body away, despite him using several magical barriers. This comic is absolutely just as jingoistic as GATE. It just takes the angle of "comically evil and smug fantasy foreigners force Japan to crush them with their mighty modern military." It also bugs me that Japan is basically able to function normally in this story, despite being cut off from the rest of the world economy as a country with a significant trade deficit that is one of the top importers of food. I'm also pretty sure that they would have a very hard time maintaining stuff like their jets, given the way more complex military hardware like that is developed/manufactured in modern times. It has some neat ideas (like there being other ex-earth countries that have earlier modern technology), but it's definitely more similar to GATE than it is different with regards to the jingoism. The main difference is that the foreign nations in this are more akin to "Earth nations from 100-200 years ago" as opposed to the more "pure" fantasy of the GATE fantasy world. So instead of actual Earth nations being antagonists (like in GATE) you instead get "fantasy nation that strongly resembles European Earth nation from the 19th to early 20th centuries."

The head in the jar IS the main protaganist, and he becomes a hentai tentacle monster. The manga is about what you'd expect from that premise(Also the manga is literally called Tentacle Hole)

I don’t mind it, of course the home country is gonna have bias and win. Like how America always win in all of their stories or portrayed as the heroes to their audience. Or how the alternate Korean or Chinese isekai stories has Korea/China as the top world power because of reasons and it’s America that keeps trying to undermine them.

Speaking of Super Robots and Isekai  Isekai Yuusha G-Shine I still wish this was a fully fleshed out manga and not just a series of vignettes by the artist working on the Knight and Magic's manga adaptation at the time. But it's a fun brief read from a guy who is truly passionate about mecha and uses the Brave Series (Shows like Da-Garn or GaoGaiGar) as an inspiration.
