The author also doesn't do any world building. He goes to a bunch of different towns but then just stays in a basement for 99% of the time.

He goes to a loving flying city and spends all his time inside a library and literally never explores the city.

It got objectively worse once he started finding the floating islands and he basically is sexually assaulted by every robot girl he finds to 'connect' with him

how about retroconning the wives ages to be less gross lol. "16 month long years" yeah ok buddy

also the 10th robot girl is the worst one of all

I think most/all LN publishers ban isekai submissions now, there might be a few new ones now and again but i believe those were a dont call us we'll call you deal.

He pays her, so no, its not quite indentured servitude. Indentured Servitude, you don't get paid, but you are not 'enslaved' either. Her repayment comes out of her own pocket from their earnings. In fact he specifically calls out that she spends a large portion of her income on alcohol rather than paying him back.

Isn't that just a company town with extra steps?

I feel like ainz the undead mage is probably evil but the human mind controlling him isn't... though his physical body is influencing his mind and he doesn't really put on the brakes to stop evil poo poo going down so maybe he is evil.

e: amoral might be a better word for it

although maybe its that he values what he and his guild built over concepts of morality?

One little detail in Overlord I noticed and liked was that a knight was given a potion after a heavy sparring session, and he didn't want to use it because he'd lose his progress.
Healing magic just reverting you back towards a 'healthy' state, as opposed to accelerating growth is an interesting wrinkle that makes it so that healing magic can't be used in that way.

The guy who trains the MC in the great cleric has the same advice to not heal his muscle pain.

This made me imagine an isekai where someone basically has Megumin's explosion without the one use a day/passing out downside but almost all of the problems are politics or agriculture related stuff and all the enemies are in easily collapsible dungeons. Everyone recognizes it is an incredibly powerful and broken ability, but it's also completely useless or suicidal 99.9% of the time.

Massive spoilers for the end of konosuba:
She nukes the demon king's castle shield, guard and part of the castle by sitting in a pile of mana crystals and chain-incantationless-casting explosion though she ends up with a blood nose

Also kazuma defeats the demon king exactly that way by collapsing a dungeon on the both of them

Started looking into Parallel World Pharmacy since there was a drop of some new chapters and it led me to remembering that it's apparently part of some kind of multi series thing and now I'm the authors page and it's the fourth out five.

I read the entire Spider LN and thought it was decently entertaining. You could do worse things with your time, and it is a relatively short series anyway.

The demon lord was the best character.

if by best you mean having the most emotionally devastating backstory then yes

I read all of the currently translated I'm evil lord of an intergalactic empire, its very fun. Same author as trapped in an otome game life is hard for mobs which is also fun and is close to wrapping up i think (and season 2 of anime).

I�m trying to think of D&D-inspired series for an endcap at my job. The books need to be physically available (so no Isekai Munchkin)

My list so far:
Delicious in Dungeon (sadly the first volume needs a reprint)
Frieren (same)
Record of Lodoss War: The Crown of the Covenant
Slayers light novels
Lazy Dungeon Master
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash light novels
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
Konosuba: God�s Blessing on This Wonderful World

I know Goblin Slayer technically counts but c�mon. No.

Any ideas?

konosuba has a trpg source book
