    Otomege Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu

    I skipped to the latest (ch 68) to see if it was worth continuing to read this. Me: Who gets Marie? Grandpa: I don't understand. Me: Who kills Marie? At the end. Somebody's got to do it. Is it Leon? Who? Grandpa: Nobody. Nobody kills her. She lives. Me: You mean she wins? Jesus, Grandpa...

    Nihonkoku Shoukan

    The story doesn't really have any memorable protagonist characters. The antagonists stand out (especially Remille). But about the only character who stands out among the good guys is the princess of Altaras, and she's pretty passive (has stuff done to her, rather than does stuff). OK, maybe the...

    Nihonkoku Shoukan

    I tracked down the web novel / light novel (most of which has been translated). Turns out it's not power fantasy of people that wish they didn't lose WW2. It's anti-Imperial Japan, pro-modern pacifist Japan. The antagonist countries that they blast to hell all do things that Imperial Japan did...

    The Story of the Invincible Merchant's Rise in Another World ~Since I have the skill to order modern products at will, I have an easy victory in anot…

    I ran across this manga on another site, and read a few chapters since the premise sounded interesting (guy is able to put stuff in his item box, sell it virtually for points, and use the points to buy modern stuff). The art is atrocious. As individual pictures it looks fine; some of it is even...

    Isekai Teni, Jirai Tsuki.

    I ran across the LN for this and came here to check out the manga. It's not as good - skips way too much stuff and jumps around too much. I kinda hope it's been dropped, and will be rebooted in a few years in a form which does the LN justice. The LN is by far the most realistic isekai I've...

    Nihonkoku Shoukan

    Yeah this is overly simplistic. The politics are childish (countries are clearly "good" or "evil" with no shades of grey in between). I think calling it propaganda is a bit off though. It's basically a Mary Sue, except the Mary Sue protagonist is an entire country. So it comes across as...

    Ore ni wa Kono Kuragari ga Kokochiyo Katta: Zetsubou kara Hajimaru Isekai Seikatsu, Kami no Kimagure de Kyousei Haishinchuu

    It's basically Survivor, but cranked up to 11 (more people, different world instead of an island, web streamed instead of weekly TV broadcast). The concept may sound dumb (I thought it was when I first heard about it), but apparently it's been very successful. Never underestimate people's desire...

    Kouchuugun Shikan Boukensha ni Naru - Vol. 7 Ch. 47

    That's exactly what I thought too. My hunch is that the Empire already encountered this planet hundreds of years ago (the intro implies their rate of technological advancement is pretty slow). They decided the "magic" native to the world could be helpful in fighting the bugs, and dropped a team...

    Gun-Ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei shitara, Gendai Heiki de Guntai Harem wo Tsukucchaimashita!?

    reads first 10 chapters "Oh cool. The author is going to avoid a harem by hitching up the MC with his first and only love interest. reads next 10 chapters "Never mind."

    Ochikobore “1” Mahou Tsukai wa, Kyou mo Muishiki ni Cheat wo Tsukau

    The author's explanation of his ability/cheat is crap (a cryptic two panels about math formulae vs math operators). Basically, most mages in this world are like computer users. They can only use a dozen or so pre-made apps which are already installed on their computer. They can use only a dozen...
