The problem with isekai is that majority of isekai that I’ve read would have been a lot better if they weren’t isekai. You don’t need the codified stats and the power fantasy removing all sense of challenge when you have an interesting world and plot!

I work at a bookstore and shortlisted a couple copies of the first volume of My Ideal Sponger Life because I’ve ended up talking about it with customers a couple times and we haven’t had the first volume for me to try to sell

I bought the Final Fantasy isekai and so far it avoids the excesses of isekai manga. No slavery, the protagonist isn’t stupidly overpowered (his big moment in the first volume is just putting bomb fragments on arrows to make bomb arrows), the female characters seem reasonably dressed

Bro Dad posted:lol just wait I got to the second volume and met the Magus Sister is literally 25% boob by volume I’m not saying it’s a dealbreaker, especially considering it’s still not very horny by isekai standards, but wow. It’s a lotta boob

I have now read all six physically published volumes of the Final Fantasy isekai. So far my initial assessments are correct: despite the one lady who’s 25% boob by volume it doesn’t fall into any of the pit traps of isekai. The main character has the ability of Libra which lets him know some qualities of non-living objects, as well as read any language. Knowing about Final Fantasy games gives him a certain savviness, like knowing how to bounce reflected spells to get around an enemy’s reflect status but it doesn’t win fights for them, it just helps them survive. It’s worth checking out if you like Final Fantasy.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:remember, isekai that i personally like do not count as isekai I like a number of modern isekai I just think that distinctions should be made between the modern isekai boom and older portal fantasy Brought To You By posted:I don't think the request is to just hand out more gamey isekai (which is ironic because Digimon itself is a game franchise first) but just other isekai anime to put on the list. Plus if they have already seen The Familiar of Zero and Escaflowne there's plenty of room to recommend stuff not from the last decade. Because I can’t help myself, Digimon started as a series of virtual pets, not games.

It’s okay. There really isn’t much to it beyond “I’m horny. I want a slave. Oh no, I’m the slave! I’m horny” I chuckled a bit at the beginning but I don’t really think it’ll have much legs

I read the first volume of Ascension of a Bookworm. It’s interesting enough that I ordered the next few volumes. I appreciate that Myne encounters failure pretty often, especially early on, it really takes the edge off the power fantasy aspects of isekai. I really enjoyed the payoff chapter at the end where three adults talked about how completely ridiculous she is.

The Devil is a Part-Timer is pretty good. The premise is that all the traits that made the Demon King rise to the head of the demon army also make him a fantastic employee and WcDonalds, which he believes will be his springboard to world domination

Indiana_Krom posted: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. Honestly sounds like classic light novel series Slayers
