Don't forget about the monstergirl Minecraft manga with lots of :dogkek:
I actually like it when game system gets tossed into isekai. It's a nice refreshing change from the classic Dragon quest setting. :p
(Oh, and the lewds are always welcome as well. :meguusmug: :dogkek: )

"10K is my retirement, so I'm going to create an AMA to..." yep, either he won't answer or will have to create an alt. My solution? Well, my question: how does it feel being a fan of a series (Berserk) that continues just because the publishers cannot help but making more money despite the author being deceased?

The solution he came up with was... Uh... Appointing me his successor.

Here's your answer!
After the creator of anything fictional is separated from the material (through sale or death or other circumstances), I can't help but feel like it's largely worthless. The original creative visionary behind the project is the one who determines the rules and the universe of said story.
A very good example is Star Wars. After Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, they gutted the entire extended universe, retconned movies, and completely destroyed any remaining good will the franchise had after the prequels.

Another good example is SpongeBob. Hillenburg originally left after the first movie, and the seasons without him were the worst in the show. When he briefly returned, the show improved, but it was still clear that his heart wasn't in it. The show is now a walking husk desperately searching for an identity, but will always be relegated to the shadow of his time as showrunner.

Basically, the only one worthy of continuing a story should be someone who is innately familiar with the universe, and even then it will almost always be a hollow imitation of the original creation. Anything made by someone besides the creator might as well be considered a sanctioned fan-work.
