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 🙂)
