isekai that isnt shit

[Saiangeli]

Ive read literally every fucking isekai that has been uploaded onto this site and I hated 80% of them. Why is it that garbage sells so well in japan?
For the love of god give me something I havent read yet and is actually decent.
The series I actually think are good

And pretty much every other mainstream isekai

 

[Bertramm]

try this one-shot isekai?
https://mangadex.org/title/59377/from-another-world

isekai putin also quite good (ride on king)

 

[Hornyturtle]

Isekai is a genre that makes exposition dumps easier to do, because it puts the reader and mc on the same level of knowledge on how the world works. Alot of authors fall into the trap of trying to explain way too much

Why are you only reading isekai?

 

[Saiangeli]

@Hornyturtle Im not but everything else bores me. Only shitty shounen that is way too serious

so unique to the point i didn't realize this is an isekai

 

[Raven_Sloth]

I didn't click through all of them but I assume that the problem is that you are looking for specifically Shonen isekai. Unfortunately from your comment it does not seem like you would enjoy shojo isekai, but from what I have tried to read myself they seem much better.

Part of this may just be the ones I tried tho, as the mcs were kinda dicks and at least one was way too cool with slavery. They also had the habit of explaining why something happening in combat was cool when they could have just made it cool.

@Saiangeli
you either forget to include these, haven't read these, or having bad taste

[ABCsOfLife]

For awhile now I feel like almost every isekai is mainstream isekais.
If I didn't understand it wrong..
You are saying.. you hate the majority of isekai, but you also like the mainstream isekai which is the majority of isekai.

So.. what are you trying to pull here bud?

 

[monoreposo]

@Saiangeli +1 for https://mangadex.org/title/31488/isekai-ojisan. This is authentically good (read 3 chapters or so, dont drop because of the art or whatever before the main story starts, which is a backflash to the isekai)

Will NOT second https://mangadex.org/title/50011/my-death-flags-show-no-sign-of-ending. Not saying its bad, nor saying its good. Its too early, at least for the manga/translations on this site. A lot of series start out about this good, just to turn into complete trash not long after.
Its good, but not original enough to claim it wont become normal junk in just 2 more chapters (bc its so close to normal junk that 2 chapters is all it would take to get there)
If it has an LN then I guess the ln readers would know if it is worth it.
That said, OP is also linking new series that are kind of just premise with no story yet, so I guess that is fine

And @ABCsOfLife, most isekai are not mainstream. The majority is trash that is a bad attempt to copy the mainstream and completely unoriginal. The majority of all works are trash because the majority of authors are trash. Filtering out the trash and finding gold that is not mainstream is hell's task that us fanatics do for free until, eventually, all non trash is mainstream.

[ABCsOfLife]

It's the dominant trend.. wheter is bad copy or good copy it's the same. There's plenty of it

 

[Saiangeli]

@ABCsOfLife aint that serious dude.. relax.

 

[O-Takuni]

@Saiangeli No Truck-kun's Driver's manga? I'm disappointed, people.

Anyways, you might want to expand your horizons to the shoujo variety of isekai at least, as another commenter mentioned. Or just quit isekai, since you don't like it much. Tbh, even if you reduce the amount of isekai you consume to just a handful and not outright quitting, you won't get as frustrated if you come across the same old clichés. It works for me.

 

[Saiangeli]

@O-Takuni I like romance but shoujo mainly focuses on female leads and lighter themes

 

[O-Takuni]

@Saiangeli I can think of lots of good stuff on that side of the spectrum, but fair enough; if you don't like the focus on the female leads or romance as the main plot then that's that. In terms of darker stuff, stuff like Otogibanashi Battle Royale (exactly what the name says) or Death is the Only Ending for the Villainess (tackles themes like toxic relationships and in a way, bullying) or even +a no Tachiichi (where the focus isn't romance and it has an interesting world) might gain your attention, but I still think not.
I won't deny what you're saying (you're kinda right, especially in regards to isekai shoujo), and you're totally free to not like it if it's not your cup of tea. Ah, Isekai Truck (my previous rec) isn't a shoujo though, in case you thought that.

If that was a general statement about shoujo as a whole though, then I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.

 

[O-Takuni]

@Saiangeli Can't believe I forgot JK Haru.

 

[Saiangeli]

@O-Takuni I dont like that kinda stuff but thank you for the recs

 

[birdkage]

Great Wise Man's Beloved Pupil is meh

 

[Danwoo]

If you are willing to give it a shot. "Kanata Kara," or "From Far Away," made in 2004. Is an Isekai that is kinda like beauty and the beast. It is definitely cliche, but it is also really well done. I am very bias though cause this was my first ever manga. No chapters on mangadex, but you can find it on bato and other sites.

 

[steebus]

its one of those things thats just formulaic, its easy, and works its like the junk food of manga for a lot of readers
as for recs based on your list off my dome

https://mangadex.org/title/ee4bf782...o-gamer-wa-hai-settei-no-isekai-de-musou-suru
is pretty fun but i assume youve given it a shot already

as for a rec you possibly haven't tried
https://mangadex.org/title/27b5a8ba-818c-413f-9b50-ef74e4cbf62c/her-summon
this ones is pretty good but i can't for the life of me rmr where i read all the translated chapters, the arts nice in this one though
