Isekai Tenseisha Koroshi – Cheat Slayer

Ah, that failed series.
Some people believe it would've become a good one, but it failed to be any worthwhile parody.
Turning most of the Isekai protagonists that aren't part of the milquetoast crowd into representations of those was a really bad call, as well as using the low effort technique of turning them into generic villians, with gratuitous rape involved in order to make them easy to hate.

While the Isekai Genre certainly could use some good Deconstruction of it's many shitty tropes, a lot of which are really low-hanging fruits in that regard(Slavery, False Underdogs, OP Protagonists with no responsibility, shallow worlds, etc.) this certainly wasn't it.
Really question how that even went beyond the first draft before getting canned.

Have to agree with you there. It could have been executed so much better. It would be much better as a light hearted comedy:

• The MC is actually the Original Hero, but the gods or whatever chose the reincarnators instead.
• The Witch is Truck-kun's driver who originally started out as a simple driver, but realized that her truck had magical dimension hopping properties.
• She dresses like this because she is a ex-chuuni who wants to relive out her fantasies.
• The Witch wants to return the reincarnators back to Japan out of guilt, but they resist because their life admittedly sucked back there.
• Take a guess how they mean to return the reincarnators.
• The episodes consist of deconstructing the aforementioned tropes, alongside the examination and mediation of the Isekai genre.

Make her an unabashed chuuni and you've got me sold.

I wish this series continued or as an doujinshi because I like the idea of using previous popular isekais as villains and its deconstruction I find it interesting

Some would say it's a rip off of other isekai stories. I'd say it has an amazing potential for people who read isekai stories. It's a shame, I was looking forward to it.

The authors only mistake was having the reincarnators be clear parodies. If they were just random fake protags then it wouldn't have been trashed by fans. What a shame, what a shame, what a shame.

I mean, it was an edgefest-Powerfantasy-revenge that missed the point of parodying by doing the exact same shit that the main genre suffers from.
So really, it was not a big loss. And yeah, if the author wasn't directly ripping off other popular series without asking them (Slime Tensei's Author actually was mostly annoyed about not being asked, as he would've actually liked helping with an evil Rimuru), it certainly wouldn't have been axed after chapter 1. Maybe like 20 chapters, and then it's at most an ad for a ln or just axed.

Doing a decon-recon of the Isekai Genre certainly is a thing that should be done more, but this here isn't it. There was no potential in this to actually create something decent even.
Hero Union BBS parodied the genre way better and it predates the worst of it's rot

To cut right to the chase, I see no potential in this. Zero at all. It's your basic revenge fantasy with the "twist" of using existing isekai mcs as the villains for... idk, "symbolism?" And reading the chapter got me straight faced. It relied too much on shock value and I didn't really care when the village went up in flames. Or rather spawned in with flames since we saw nothing that lead up to that. Not even one of them mentioning a hint of smoke. And yes, yes, the rape scene was horrible, but... it didn't hit like I think it was meant hit.

"Woahhh, look at these characters I made! Look at them so happy, so innocent, having a good time. But guess what? One dead and another dead then raped. Bet you didn't see that one coming, huh?"

Also the witch was so strange and felt heavily like an authors surrogate. "One of them was a shut-in who always escaped reality through video games. In a world without powoers, he was nothing more than a hate filleld dog who followed oroders. Despite wanting to fall in love more than anyone else, he pathetically coped with his loneliness through the world of 2D." God fucking damn, you gonna call his mom a bitch too? This feels way more personal than anything. Some might chalk it up to an extreme view by a character, but we see no reason why witch lady should hate the reincarnated more than she says. Not even a simple backstory just a "I hate them all, they my opps, now go spin around his block."

If you see potential in this then that's all on you. But me personally it feels uninspired, treated the deaths, rapes, and overall premise very poorly. Again, some might say its this way because of the chapter but I disagree. A writer should fit enough into one chapter to hook in readers the right way by introducing characters naturally, explore world building and magic as the characters go on their lives, and the conflict of the story should be big enough to be known, but still remain a mystery. This is only my personal take so if you disagree, that's ok.

TL;DR
No potential, handles situations poorly or not enough, some writer bias, and overall uninspired revenge fantasy that you've seen before.
