    Tang Yin in Another Realm - Ch. 2 - Back to the Ancient World

    See big, heavy monster: I should stay and fight it. See quick, agile monsters: I can probably run away from them. Typical isekai genius, lol

    Circle Zero's Otherworldly Hero Business

    @gaigous Most of it is the apparently natural tendency of seeing the hero of a story as a literal hero, justifying the protagonist's actions and disapproving of the opponents. So when the protagonist is pictured much less than heroic, some people get a bit of a cognitive dissonance. That trope...

    Circle Zero's Otherworldly Hero Business

    @KinGrove Not sure what's ironic about it. The difference between a likeable character and an interesting character is very well-known. Classic heroes are widely regarded as boring, it's villains who are more interesting. There's a lot of media (like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) that's...

    The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap

    @Narehate Well, to each their own, I guess. Still, I can't help but feel for the artist who presumably has to waste their talent on this nonsense by the editor's insistence - it's isekai, it's popular, it's going to sell! I could be wrong about this, but I'm imagining the whole thing as if it...

    The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap

    @Narehate The thing is, if you mentally substitute this manga's excellent art with something mediocre (or try to read the original novel, like one commenter here apparently did), you'll probably find the story it tries to present much harder to actually enjoy. Also, from the sound of it, it...

    The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap

    @Narehate No, no, no, what true high-brow intellectual critics do these days is providing completely useless passive-agressive remarks to random people's opinions on the Internet. Seriously, lol. If you feel so strongly about this manga and want better reviews, write one. My comment, at least...

    The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap

    @Narehate When sun shines at a pile of crap, it's easier to see and avoid it. Do your part. Be sunshine.

    The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap

    This bog-standard shoujo isekai crap doesn't deserve art this nice.

    Scientia

    Despite the ominous description, it's a surprisingly wholesome manga. It can be characterised fairly as technooptimistic, but it focuses on human stories much more than on technology.

    Next Life

    That kobold is ridiculously adorable.

    Isekai Rakugo

    Why the actual hell this group picked up a rakugo-themed title when it's painfully obvious that they're going to be completely incapable of translating a single joke in a way that would make any sense.
