That one has the amusing premise that they're in what's effectively the lowest energy state world: it's extremely easy to isekai there, but extremely hard to leave. But, like, there are multiple worlds above it, so their history consists not only of Japanese high schoolers popping in, but also like invasions by extradimensional demons and whatnot, and it's just a mishmash of everything at once.

Yeah, that part is super interesting and is some good plot framing. Just really kinda has the wind sucked out of it by Mental One Punch Man who can kill anyone with a thought. Including people who are remote.

I liked the giant robot early on that was basically the equivalent of a tethered dimensional ROV, that explained the problem to them. Though it never really explained why it was there, I don't think. Tourism, I guess

i still find it mildly amusing how these depraved isekai protagonists get a bit of backstory, then insist on attacking the instant death guy. he barely notices when he kills them and never learns what their deal was.

He even basically says as much a couple times, like "Oops, I killed that guy, what was his deal anyways?"

The only one that actually encounters him with intent to harm/capture him and survive is the one who basically realized what he was and her desperation to flee from him basically broke her mentally.

Shinju no Nectar does this as the history of its world is filled with humans from earth leaping over and bringing with them technology and new ideas. The current timeline is a fantasy world going through the beginnings of an industrial revolution but on top of that you have areas of science that have progressed even further without the preceding technological advancements. These advancements vary by nations since isekai'd individuals, dubbed Marebito, tend to get scooped up by someone and either hidden away or mined for information and executed. So for one instance you have the Empire of Dhala who still uses sails on their ships along with more antiquated cannons, but the Albion kingdom's flagship is an iron steam boat using a screw propeller rather than a paddle and far more modern artillery cannons. Conversely Dhala has brought to the table Zeppelins, mustard gas, and early forms of tanks owing to how much more fervently they track down Marebito and allow a mutant vampire scientist in their ranks to suck their brains to assimilate their knowledge. The MC so far has brought over the knowledge and means to use arc welding and create Dynamite due to his history working in various construction jobs.

One of the last truly good arcs before the story quality starts to tank features a WW1 radio engineer being on the run because the country that took him in plans to trade him to Dhala as part of an alliance deal, an arrangement that guarantees his death at the hands of the vampire. I won't speak much for the current story because the last couple chapters have firmly pushed the story into the garbage, but everything up to the notJapan arc was compelling as far as worldbuilding and story goes.

I think most of the time the story isn't necessarily trying to be funny, but the MC's casual detachment to things coupled with how quickly he can end someone can flip between horror and comedy pretty quickly depending on context. Like when he was individually "killing" parts of one of the first people to mug him? That's hosed up. But when he accidentally kills the demon lord that was trapped in a barrier at the beginning of the hero selection arc? That was pretty funny. I'd say overall the story straddles the line, the world is a wacky mix of various isekai cliches and archetypes and they do place the equivalent of Saitama in the mix to just walk in a straight line through them.

My problem is that One Punch Man makes it work by making it silly, that's like half the reason the story is interesting: He's the strongest in the world but he doesn't really care and its funny because everyone else is trying to be deadpan serious.

But meh, maybe its just not my cup of tea.

The instant death guy cares even less than Saitama does. Saitama at least actively goes out of his way to put himself in positions where punching a dude is the optimal solution.

It's definitely not the best written thing ever though.

Instant Death is a comedy horror but the horror is the protagonist, not being inflicted on the protagonist. It does have moments of actual seriousness, and these mostly deal with the backstory of said horror-monster protagonist. Its comedy mostly only works if you read lots of bad isekai, because basically every 'big' enemy that he's accidentally killed is almost exactly a parody of some actual isekai protagonist sociopath.

I like that the MC actually acknowledges his stuff and that nothing really threatens him, instead of the typical overpowered comedy isekai trope of 'doesn't understand he's the strongest thing ever and is constantly scared of everyone'. I also like that it establishes that his only actual goal (getting home) is not something his power is at all conductive to. He has infinite power to murder, but murder is not going to get any portals home open for him.


That said, imo the biggest flaw of it is that the series is very fond of showcasing sexual violence, though in a 'all rapists should die' way at least. Multiple slavers with explicit sex slaves, multiple now dead rapists, the first thing any bad guy does is salivate over the pretty waifus and what they'll do to them after killing the MC...

Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
Destroy Everything recently got a new chapter after months of inactivity: https://mangadex.org/title/59e475ff-000b-4c01-9db9-038590d14784/destroy-everything

It’s reverse isekai slice of life comedy, and really drat good. A Goddess of Destruction and the Hero are reincarnated into modern japan as twins and have to live their daily lives to get their powers back. It’s definitely focused more on the comedy aspect in the 10 chapters translated than any major plot and the reincarnators are adorably dumb

Pumpkin Scissors eventually reveals that the terrible continental hegemon they work for is effectively the result of one person inventing everything. The state uses the resulting military power to dominate their continent and force their neighbors to abide by strict patent registrations. Including a regular conference where they reveal that actually they already had a patent on whatever those foreign scientists were working on. Unfortunately the attack on that conference is after the slums arc, which is really bad. And even before that the series was just okay. Interesting to think about what a tank would look like in a world without semi automatic weapons, much less machine guns.

I can't remember the name right now, but it was quite popular.
Hero gets summoned to fight against demons and gets his sword and party of women and goes off adventuring.
But they accidentally summon someone too, who was near the hero at the time. He wonders around a bit until he starts up a university.

Hero gets stuck in a slog in some southerm country where he overthrew the government to remove slavery.
The non-main character falls in love and marries, people in the town start learning how to use magic more systematically, leading to them digging a really deep whole to act as a magic power source and using it as a electricity. Industrial revolution starts to get off. Magic spells get reduced to pre written scripts on a device, etc.
You have a traditional hero with one small zero elite party and in the other corner of the world you have peasant rebellions with guns, because old power structures are breaking down. Demons aren't that much of a issue, when you have minefields and flamethrowers.

Anyone remember the name? I stopped reading before it was finished.

Gotta give people a warning, it's getting through its nadir where it does some sketchy political poo poo ("abolish slavery by educating people and giving them jobs!") and from this point it becomes better. I like the LNs, though I think the story likes to think it's smarter than it actually is, but the latter half of LN 4 and the first half of 5 are ooof.

To be fair: He specifically highlights that he's concerned that just outright abolishing Slavery would cause a Civil War not unlike the US Civil War (which he references) and is trying to abolish it under the table to avoid that.

Which makes sense, and if Slavery is widespread and legal outright abolishing it openly, no matter how popular he is, would likely lead to turmoil. He knows slavery is wrong and it has to go, but he's trying to avoid getting John Wilkes Booth'ed or dealing with a Confederacy, especially since the kingdom just came out of two large consecutive military operations and also he just killed a large amount of high ranking nobles and likely knows that there's blood in the water if he does so again so quickly

That...was a weird one. I felt like it would've been easier to just re-commission her as guard with the same responsibility rather than enslaving her. Not sure why that was the choice he made.

-He executes a bunch of corrupt nobles in a sham trial, this is extremely justified (they really gently caress everything up in an alt timeline) and he feels super bad about it, but for a clean-cut, idol-promoting hero it rubs readers the wrong way
-He essentially tells a bunch of refugees that either they join with his country, thus becoming citizens and getting homes and jobs, or they need to leave. Essentially their temporary settlement has started to cause massive friction and he wanted to solve it.
-Essentially solves slavery by just creating more demand but making slavery itself illegal. The story sort of does a magic trick where their owners are forced to educate them and get them jobs but they also get emancipation. It's childlike in its naivite, especially for a "realist" story.


The story picks up on the second half of book 5. He gets crosses the Vatican who can apparently do some genetic engineering and in a later LN helps out an island nation with their kaiju problem.

CommieGIR posted:

The explanation was that she committed treason and thus had to be executed or else nobody would take his authority seriously. But she was a loyalist and long-lived so shoving her in jail in unproductive so ye olde slave collar it is.
The command was purely there to justify his Machiavelli-sanctioned single use cruelty to kill the nobles while assuring the reader that MC won't go too far.

I don't think anyone was happy with how she was treated though and I hope it changes in the latter novels.

To be fair, he's also really clear that he didn't want to do this and it really hosed with his head having to do so and correctly identifies that if he gets used to such things he could easily become a tyrant which is partially why he sets up Carla as an out to kill him if he goes too far.

EDIT: JINX

I kind of hope as part of his slow wind down of slavery he revisits Carla and Castor's treatment.
Much like he also likely faked Carmine's death and spared him and basically made him a black ops leader. This is still conjecture but its basically all but officially confirmed that Kagetora of the Black Cats is Carmine.

That development is what caused me to stop reading it, but I could see how it comes across in WN/LN a lot better when you get some insight into his mental. In the manga it sounded insane and a justification so forced that it felt like an author fetish thing to have a slave be around.

FWIW the story does goes into some fun times. It has kaiju, good worldbuilding and it commits to the bit wrt to polygamy so loving everyone gets a harem, even the comedy relief fat guy.
The story also does a decent job of rotating the MC's waifus and making sure they all get some screentime.

Had to refresh myself on the current fight but that aside I do like the demon family. For as hosed up as they are Red trying to appeal to some sense of family and humanity works and I hope to see continued attempts because Abu Dahbi is the most talkative of the children and I suspect if any of them has a late act side change, it might be him. Helps that he's wearing a mask so maybe one day that will finally come off.

Also LOL at the new megazord being Don Hector with shoulder mounted missile launchers.

I see the trend for more meta-y isekais is starting to slowly roll out:
Stumbled over Another World Dump Truck while skimming the 'popular for the last month' category.


" Yul, the manager of the interdimensional dump truck office, accidentally kills an innocent man named Kwon Yoo-jun. In order to make amends, Yul enters a romance fantasy novel where Yoo-jun is the villainess and tries to send her back to her original world. However, due to various complications, Yul becomes trapped in the novel. With the office staff scattered and no knowledge of the novel's plot, Yul desperately searches for a way out. But, Yoo-jun, who is now pretending to be a noble lady in the new world, causes Yul a headache. "

So an isekai/reincarnator story about a truck-kun company that fucks up. Kinda curious where it's going, since it's only got 2 chapters so far, but the premise is kinda interesting. (Really hoping it'll be a rolling farce of fuckups.)
I'm very intrigued to see how it'll work since it's also doing the didn't reincarnate, souls got swapped thing. So miss princess is currently very annoyed at some healthcare professionals post truck crash.

it's hilarious that the titanus stand-in, since the Ranger theme here is bandages, just makes the combined form increasingly injured with an eyepatch bandage and a loving wheelchair lol

Also loved that he attempted to appeal to their compassion and when he was swiftly rebuked and abu dhabi peaced out, red just dove headfirst into the portal instead of letting them just casually leave. loving love it when that happens even if he got booted right back out after
