Balud's dad is THE MAN, but can we take a moment to acknowledge the fact that his mom is actually right?
Don't stop the righteous fury of that woman!

the situation is so bad it makes me look fondly back at SAO, we didn't know what we had....

@gaigous agreed! my rule has always been that i can overlook lack of originality but not a lack of creativity

@Tych I know, we were talking about the industries obsession with bad source material for adaptations.

I like this manga but the harem situation is really pissing me off now. It's getting ridiculous and lame. Everything else is good so I don't want to drop it but I don't want to see the same "another girl falls for balud for no fucking reason" again. It's tiring to filter out 😒

You were playing with fire, seeing the last-boss vibe oozing out of here in almost every panel, but well played Ignis, well played.

@ValKnight "No fucking reason"?
- Rich.
- Young.
- Smart.
- Nobility.
- Saved his country from epidemics.
- Saved another country from epidemics, making it an everlasting ally.
- Personal friend of the king and queen to be from a neighboring country.
- His King trolls him personally.
- He now has his own land to rule (even though a hellhole... for now).

If this is not enough to make him a good prospect, i don't know what would be.

Lets analyze his harem:
Maid: Has always been around, know him personally, her loving him is something that could be expected.
President: She has always been a victim of his advances. She finally fell when he got really sick.
Urraca: She is just a weirdo that got infatuated with the old man inside the boy.
1st Princess Rachel: He fucking saved her life while being a badass in the process.
2nd princess Margaret: She knows she could be married into some distant country with some asshole she doesn't even know, why not to snatch that boy from her sister that looks competent? She might have more chances as her sister because she doesn't have a direct line to succession.

Please don't confound this with your run of the mill harem garbage, in which girls just wake up one day and decide they like some pathetic loser.

@boag the one trashy one I’m looking forward to is the OP mom isekai drawn by pochi since that one is clearing taking a piss and not meant to take seriously. 🤣

But we are at the mercy of our Japanese otaku overlords. Also most isekai that are animate are clearly targeting the PG13 range and up so all you can do is hold your hands up and shrug your shoulders. Most writers rather stick to proven generic cash cows as well as production companies. For example I hear Kenja no Mago is selling very well even though every character is about as creative as a loaf of rye bread...

I can always excuse a lack of originality, but not a lack of creativity....

God the art style and characters are so spastic, it brings a smile to my face every time I read this. (Also expanding harem is okay with me~)

"A king that would give out that land as a reward isn't worth a single strand of hair."
Oo~, she said it. I was wondering if someone would point out that he's being kind of an ungrateful dick. (If he forks over both daughters, that's a different story, of course)

I've only read a handful of posts, but I notice people are critiquing Japan's manga/anime/novel industry and how people are just copying other people instead of trying to make something more original. I am definitely inclined to agree with this overall (though I actually do quite enjoy a number of new works).

The Isekai genre has INCREDIBLE potential for creative writing, entering a NEW WORLD where THINGS CAN WORK ANY WAY YOU CAN IMAGINE in ANY KIND OF SETTING IMAGINABLE, but instead nearly every story takes place in the same mediocre wonky fantasy setting which is a weird amalgamation taken from Western works and borked up Japanese-style. Nearly every one has an adventurers guild which works in roughly the same manner, so many have rapey goblins & orcs (because the Japanese don't want everyone to forget how degenerate they are at all times), flat-chested Elves, Maous, generic hero characters, 4 elements + light & dark, space-time magic, getting summoned by a kingdom to save them, protagonists with a shallow smattering of modern knowledge who are easily able to solve the problems of the stupid people who summoned them and just conjure up new technology on the spot (it's incredible to me how easy they make it seem to suddenly get all the required materials to make something that doesn't already exist), beastmen who are basically just humans with some cutesy animal ears and/or a tail, virgin slave girls who are incredibly grateful to whoever rescues them and doesn't beat them daily (and who are likely to be Elves or some kind of beastmen with an ability to sense enemies to make the protagonists' lives easier), protagonists who get a harem and then never do anything sexual at all (cuz Nippon) thus rendering the entire point kind of moot, etc. (Merely a few omnipresent tropes off the top of my head)

(Also fuck SAO 🙂)
