Nemo2342 posted:That one is “better” because it’s 100% upfront about the author’s fetish and you know to avoid it. in tondemo skill the mc becomes invulnerable due to a divine blessing. it's not conditional, and there are no weaknesses. literally nothing in the world can harm him. this is on top of his loyal, functionally invincible protector that never leaves his side. so naturally, he is so afraid of merchants finding out about his unique skill that he buys slaves as a workforce to maintain secrecy. there's not some super merchant that could harm him, or anything. he's just a pathetic coward, which is mostly played for laughs. also, he doesn't really need a workforce since he already earns far more money than he could ever use from selling inedible monster parts. so his plan to repackage groceries from earth at a markup is a complete waste of time.

kirtar posted:Is that part of the extended Japanese title (or dumb furigana) or something that got added tot he title by scanlators? I haven't actually watched/read the series so it's possible/likely they threw it in because it's accurate, but it doesn't look like it's officially part of the title. I assumed we were talking about "Isekai Meikyuu de Harem o" which is properly translated as "A Harem in the Fantasy World Dungeon", but it might as well have put slave in the title since that's pretty much the first thing he does once he gets to town. doomrider7 posted:I'm assuming you guys mean Magilure because Witch Hat Atelier is absolutely amazing. No, I meant Witch Hat Atelier. It's very pretty, but I found the story to be pretty exhausting by the time we got to the teacher's backstory.

Pretty sure that's exactly what it is since it's the only search result. I'm mostly curious where in the general pipeline that it got added to the title. Obviously CR went with a more literal translation because even they're not dumb enough to add that when they don't have to (and are trying to make money off it).

I was mildly annoyed at worst that Bertia kept pushing she had to be some terrible person undeserving of a happy ending because of her own adherence to this original plot. But the Heroine was far worse in this regard, but the story doesn't just dunk on her and instead gives her a chance at redemption and growth. I do hope we get something of a progress report for her in the sequel because I don't hate her but she deserved everything that happened to her in the first series.

Ice Phisherman posted:If I ever get isekai'd, send me with my spice rack. Humans spent countless amounts of blood and treasure getting nutmeg halfway across the Earth and they'd probably do anything for new, good flavors because humans are still humans. This is what the guy who gets isekai'd but he's got access to FreshDirect does for money -- he just orders a five pound bag of salt and a two pound bag of peppercorns, sells those, and then cools it because he's worried if he gets noticed he'll get enslaved. Dropped out of that one when I found out he starts buying slaves, though. The related one, 80,000 gold or whatever (what I've been calling the Arbitrage Isekai), she vacillates between not doing that (i.e. trying to maintain some kind of tech hygiene) and just giving zero shits about it (oh yeah, I've got fresh fish. And DVDs. And GUNS. AND I'M GOING TO SUMMON A PMC (though that's after she gets hit with an arrow and in-dialogue says "Well, I've been trying to not destabilize this entire civilization, but they shot me so gently caress that.") Kind of wish there was one that was actually aware of the opportunities for fast moneymaking like the first and at all wholesome like the second.

There's I Can Always Go Home, so I Started as a Peddler in Another World. quote:"Won't I be able to get filthy rich if I use this skill?" That description makes it sound like he's going to go Full Capitalism, but it's actually pretty wholesome. Like the arc that just concluded was about a fairy on her own, looking for an adventurer she came across some time ago. The MC helps her out, willingly and without reservation. An earlier arc involves sickness (it's the usual lack of nutrients writers like to use in these), and the MC brings over medicine to help with his "compensation" being the continued smiles of a certain person. (In the webnovel he actually helps a whole bunch of people with the problem for a pittance from the mayor and no thought of exploiting the sick, but in the manga it's just one person.) It's been a nice read, even if it's not anything super unique. Onean fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Mar 15, 2023 |

80k gold is the one nicknamed "warcrimes isekai" because she also introduces concepts like landmines and contaminating water supplies before retreat, right?

Not in anything that's been translated. Potion one she does the well poisoning (hence the wanted poster by scanlators), but I don't remember if she used landmines.

80k gold just has her hiring earth mercs to come in and absolutely massacre a fantasy world army and some dragons. I don't think she did anything else particularly egregious beyond that.

drilldo squirt posted:Kinda feel bad for the heroine who is also reincarnated and thinks things are going like they are in the game. A wrinkle I like for these kinds of stories is that the entire concept of the game is real, not just the part of it that became a commercial product. Vital information to understanding the current plot could just be languishing in the liner notes of some never-sold tie-in artbook somewhere! Even if in this case it doesn't work out so well for certain people. They pull this out a couple big places. One early, where the game's apparent mascot character is actually a spirit because spirits and magic are totally real but fairly rare and some state-secret level stuff. Miss Bertia finds one by complete accident exploring the less-trafficked parts of her family estate and mascots around with a fox friend for a while before the prince tells her it's a spirit of darkness. "YESSSSSS DARKNESSSSSSS" "actually darkness magic is mostly about solace and protection" "THIS ELEMENTAL SYSTEM IS BULLSHIT" And one, much much later, where Bertia talks about why she was trying to be evil and let the heroine win because of the various game endings and how the prince was never really happy in any of them and just got obsessed about something like warfighting or inventing gunpowder that often led to his early demise. The prince then talks to his dad who's like "yeah, hyperfocus runs in the family, we had no idea what to do when you started speaking four languages when you were three other than take the mythopoeically suggested approach: hitch you to the biggest ball of emotions we could find and hope you got interested in humanity".

lol I just read one a few days ago where part of the brilliant tactical strategy was to dress your soldiers as fleeing refugees and use them to infiltrate a stronghold. seems tame in comparison to magical white phorophorous or what's happening in these other ones

Dropped out of that one when I found out he starts buying slaves, though. yea, I dropped it after that when I just wanted a standard economy isekai, and she just backpedals totally on trying to not interfere too much on the world. Could have skipped all that and found another excuse to get to the town building phase.

That's why I like that one. The MC is so bad at using her powers and messes up so many small details. She just digs deeper and deeper holes she has to get out of. When it turns a little GATE-ish I lost interest.

If you're talking about hiring the mercenaries, they go back to Earth basically immediately and only play a minor role going forward, at least up to the point where the fan translation of the manga's up to. (I was reading the LN, but put it down during one of my usual cycles of interest and haven't picked it back up yet.) They were only brought over one time, outside of minor mentions after that that they play a major role in one other arc, and it's 100% focused on the Earth.

that's when I dropped it. I just felt she flip flopped on her personal set rules too easily, and felt the story could have progressed without having to go there.

Some people enjoy that, but trust me that if it's bothering you now (in the part animated) it gets worse later. The protagonist of I Shall Survive Using Potions is basically a complete copy of her, too. That's the one that gets joked about her warcrimes.

All three of FUNA's protagonists are insane. The one from Make My Abilities Average might seem fine until you get her around a furry or she wants to do something she said she wouldn't.

Is the 2chan guy's isekai really a reflection of that forum's culture? I'm trying to understand the gimmick out of some fascination of a different culture's Internet culture. It looks like it just comes down to picking at insignificant details, demanding proof based on those details, and then picking on insignificant details of that proof, going down until the other side just breaks down. I've seen this kind of troll behavior before and I think the behavior is getting lost some in the translation.

It's trying to be a mystery in the same way Baccano or Durarara. It's more of an excuse for quirky characters to do weird stuff.

I don't remember if it got linked in this thread yet or not, but I really like this relatively new isekai about an old guy in a wheelchair dying of lung cancer and the nurse who was wheeling him to the doctor during an emergency, suddenly getting isekai'd out of nowhere. the first chapter is pretty simple, strong, and to the point. https://mangadex.org/title/988c2df3-1827-409d-b8cf-aca0fcc5a4c9/yomei-nikagetsu-no-isekai-kenkouhou I love the designs in it, the dwarves being relatively dwarf-ey but super tall, and their tech seems "forgotten civilization" style of crazy techno-magic, with missile launchers and basically a nuke referred to as "golems". the MC and his nurse buddy Toki are neat, the dragonewt girl clearly has a helluva backstory to unfold at some point but is a solid character so far, I like it, it's got style!   their only other series appear to be touhou doujins, looks like this is their first actual series, pretty impressive for a first outing.
