Touma is an example of the beta trope. It's not about being a twerp with no personality, it's just there to avoid a series from becoming an outright porno and to let other girls chase after the MC's dong without it being cheating/an outright hopeless endeavor for the girls. > Nice jaded middle...

> Most of the time they force their morals and beliefs on society, their stories are bland and they are genuinely boring as hell. The opposite is actually true - these kinds of characters are reflections of social attitudes of what a person is "supposed" to be. In this particular case it's a...

There's nothing intrinsically bad about either archetype (except for how consistently they're poorly done - but bad writing is par for the course). There are strengths of both - the arrogant asshole moves forward and gets things done, necessary for action and drama. While the beta manwhore keeps...

Ah, thank you very much.

Okay I give up. I need help to learn what the name of this thing is. Googling for it is useless. This is a recent manga series. A synopsis if you need it: Teenage male gets transfered into an otome game world, like I Tripped Into An Otome Game. His sister acts as his wingman while in the real...

Casually throwing away one's name in these isekai stories is possibly the dumbest thing about them, and there's some zany stuff in these things my brothers. In the web novel of FFF- Trash Hero, the main character is forced to meet a hero as part of the attempts by management to reform him into...

"But I died overworking and reincarnated as an obesity young lord named Jared." is not English. They can fix it if they felt like it.

The cutesy generic art style and abbreviated content kind of strips this of its best parts. The fact the MC takes time to belittle this innocent mook, something he didn't have to do, establishes him as irredeemable, which is of course refreshing compared to protagonist mayonnaise you usually...

DEAL DAMAGE??? GRIND LEVELS INSTEAD OF RISKING HIS LIFE UNNECESSARILY?? Now you're getting into the realm of something an actual human would do in his situation. A dangerous territory where we might be able to develop empathy for the protagonist and his actions.

Naive doesn't even begin to describe the writing. Even for a fluffy gentle My Little Pony kind of world of violence and monsters. A 175 year old man would be sick of it. A more realistic set up is if he was sick of violence and hedonism and just wanted to spend this new life growing crops or...

Ahhh I wouldn't count on it. Stuff like having complexity and opinions only serves to cut off potential customers. They're all gonna be waifus. Honestly I can't even say it's wrong - diminishing returns due to waifu saturation means if you have them all on screen at the same time all the time...

Ya'all might be focused on the creeper factor, but to me it's terribly sad. First of all, this establishes the protagonist is apparently unable to do anything without the book. Will he have to consult it daily whenever he needs to take a poop? There's disturbing metalevels here. Even worse is...

The ending was sweet - pointing out it was never about the horns or her tummy. But about the girl, and his admiration thereof. Wish there could have been more. At least it got more than I'm A Harem Protagonist But I'm Gay So Every Day Is Hell For Me.

Check the tags! You will be sad. The problem with isekai isn't harem, game elements, loner hikkimori MC or any other themes or tropes. It's horrible lazy ass cookie cutter writing. Japanese web novels especially suffer from this since they have an actual profit motive, they're not just nerds...

It's a matter of philosophy and business model. Mark's article on why bad cards exist is the standard go-to. He makes several cromulent points, though in Magic's case the primary reason is "to milk our wealthy customers of all of their money." In the case of a video game world, if all skills...

A masterpiece on every level. Was too good for this world.

> but seeing as they're already trying to use him being too lazy to stop rape and murder in the first two chapters... feh. It seems it's following the wn this way, and the character is... well there's no reason to read a story when the mc is just plain unlikable. What's hilarious is you hate...

At its core all entertainment is pornography - you're not exactly learning anything from watching a production of MacBeth, now are you? So having a pervert MC and titties all over the place should not be a negative factor for anyone's rating of something like this. (Because if it is a terminal...
