I have a trick for that: if the title is so long it doubles as the sypnosis, big red flag. But even so, the saturation gets to you.
One in particular struck a cord tho': it was your typical unmatched isekai garbage, but had a TTRPGs munchkin (the kind of player, not the card game) and proud of...
Oh, no. I know there are good isekais out there, and follow several of them; that's why I said "most isekais" and not all of them.
I agree with you on the popularity train, but I think this is slightly different. In those other cases, at least the authors would try to do something worthwhile...
The thing is that most Isekai are not meant to be literature, or even an interesting story: they're consumer products, made for the stereotypical japanese otaku (existing or no) to buy, self-insert into the base wish-fulfilment they offer and forget their crappy lives for a moment and forget...
Even adults have moments like those. Also, if you look closely he wasn't even thinking about giving him the time of the day for a while, it was after when he gave it consideration, which is what an adult does. And after realising he's not committing too much effort, he's in no real risk and the...
Many works, specially in the isekai genre are based on the foundations of "Wish-Fulfillment" and "Self-Insert". For both, the target audience readers must hold the mentalities of "the MC is close enough to me for me to SI into" and "They wouldn't want anything I wouldn't want". Now you can add...
:thonk: So technically as far as I see, if one who uses "Save & Load" dies but the other still lives, they will not return unless the other dies as well, right? An even then if "Save" triggers after that point, they're dead for good?
Then the path is clear: kill Ageha.
As you said, just because some cues can be interpreted as subtext doesn't mean they are or that they're there in the first place; and there has been cases of people making them up because "X and Y SHOULD TOTALLY be together". And shippers can be(not "are", but "can be". there's chill ones) a...
Before anybody gets any ideas... (too late, I guess)
I think Hisui saw what would happen if D, an Invader she knows it is; occupied the post of a Keeper, their mortal enemies; and get unlimited access to one of the most powerful tools and NOPE'd the assured unholy mess in the bud. I mean, even...
This makes me feeling conflicted. On one hand, I'm glad the author managed to break through the prude around non-hentai manga (black bars, anyone?) and did it GLORIOUSLY with a such a messy and degenerate threesome which would make Slaanesh proud. But on the other hand I'm worried of how the...
Looks like a 3D model. Author probably used whatever found and though "meh, close enough". To be honest, the Pro Controller it's not that far in design...
She wants to be a power top with a heavy dose of S because he can't fight back (or so she thinks), but she's into him at the end of it. Nagatoro up to 11.
Not the healthiest mindset to be sure.
