Isekai

Know what doesn't disappoint? Rin's fat butt.

Yes
most of the time I ignore them but occasionally a premise will catch my eyes but almost every time I end up dissapointed anyway, so far kemono michi has been the only exception

I'm watching Maple Isekai atm. I'm a little disappointed because I was expecting more character conflict between Maple's "serious" play style and Maple who doesn't even try.

It's not really an isekai anymore than SAO is.

>What are your expectations?
A fish out of water story where a person who initially finds themselves disadvantaged and confused by new surroundings, but then as they learn more about their new situation they turn their unique perspective to advantage and eventually overcome overwhelming odds.

Or better yet... they don't overcome massive odds and end up somehow changing the world. Maybe they end up just another part of the world.

I wrote about this yesterday but if I was writing an isekai story it'd be about a young adult (15-16) where an elderly couple with no children in a forest comes across the main character who was injured and nurses him back to health. Discovering that he doesn't know the language they help teach him enough and maybe a little magic basics as well. A while later they attacked by some plot device or the other that takes them out of the story but still play a role in influencing the main character's characterization.

The MC begins wandering the world looking first for a way to get home and then for a place to call home but never quite finding either. At the beginning he's somewhat shaken at being thrown into a complete new world but still morally upright but struggles over time attempting to balance the soft modern values he had from his old world in this dangerous new one. Maybe make him somewhat bitter or edgy but still good-hearted.

Literally The Rise of the Shield Hero

Try earlier isekai. Juuni kokuki is basically everything you described albeit rough around the edges

From what I saw it was more slice of life with gamers. Unless there was some twist.
Not like Infinite Dendrogram where the game world was secretly a parallel world that the video game was tapping into.

Dendrogram was really disappointing because it didn't explore that aspect of it. Or even the protagonist. The last 3 episodes focused on a nobody antagonist like it was their story all along.

That's a young adult character story. Where does the "other world" become relevant?

>it's not more isekai than the anime that started the whole isekai fad to begin with

You're calling 12 kingdoms "rough around the edges"? In a fucking isekai thread?

No it's not. Fuck harems and JRPG party's.
I'll look into it, anime or manga?
Because I like the isekai trope in regards to it.

Fake underdog shit.

Underdog?
I guess that's one way to describe one of the heroes of legend and prophesy.

Guess Yu-gi-oh is an isekai too because it has VR.
Think about what you're saying.

what the fuck happened to dungeon reset? Did the author show up and start taking it down from everywhere?

Liking something doesn't make it relevant.
That's the difference between being objective and subjective.

My favourite isekai is this Chinese light novel called reverend insanity. Too bad the CCP banned it for being too based.

what is really a isekai ?

Like I said in my previous post, you can have
>struggles over time attempting to balance the soft modern values he had from his old world in this dangerous new one.

>but why not make him a naive child
Because it's more engrossing if we imagine him as an everyman instead of a spoiled kid.

Yeah this was gold. I have to thank whoever was talking about it in the thread yesterday.

It's the story category. Some people think it's just a trope. As if Dragon Ball could be called isekai when they go off world or visit the afterlife.
But of course you wouldn't put it in the same group as Cheat Wizard. Even though Goku has over-powered too, the narrative, the story structure isn't about "the world". The Z fighters go to Namek, but what do you really know about it and the Namekians? Nothing really. The Nemakians are apparently the only race to inhabit it, and they have really big dragon balls. That's about all you take away from it before Frieza blows it up.

Is this a reverse isekai?
