AINT NO WAY WE ARE GETTING YET ANOTHER SURVIVAL ISEKAI WITH THE SAME FUCKASS AUTHOR. Is there really not a limit on the amount of mediocrity a man can write???
I literally had to stop reading these comment and check if the author really had released 3 comics with the exact same premise... and it's true... and not just that - they're the only damn comics he's released!! :qq:



I've said for some time that Japan has an interesting relationship with originality. I swear there's no other country that has creators so openly and blatantly copying each other, with no concern over the public's perception of their creative abilities like any other creative would, in any other country.
I'm not even necessarily saying it's bad - when you see an idea that you really like, Japanese creatives really capitalise on that idea and you'll not be left wanting... but they REALLY capitalise on that idea, and you will never want to read a comic of similar themes ever again - too much of a good thing.

Just as a quick example:
  • In the west; we had Alien release as a large and very popular movie, and while it was definitely influential, how many other pieces of media came out about a spaceship crew that's stranded on their ship with an alien picking them off one by one? Nothing is particularly similiar to alien besides its own sequel, and maybe Preditor , with Predator still being a wildly different film.
  • Meanwhile in Japan; Just look at the Villainess genre trend. They're all set in not-europe, they're all basically isekai (which I could also go on about), almost all of them are so similiar they seem to follow a formula. In the 5 or so years since the genres rise to popularity, it seems to have been squeezed for every drop of juice.

Though this author is particularly egregious with his THREE EXACT SAME FRIGGEN SERIES!
But again, I've noticed that japanese creators are often not afraid to dig in the same well if they like that topic - like I've seen authors write multiple different stories about genius female detectives falling in love with a male bumbling detective peer... but if you love stories like that, and you liked that author's last rendition, why wouldn't you be happy if they did it again? So I can't say if it's bad or good, or creatively freeing or creatively stagnating... it's just an interesting creative cultural quirk I've noticed.
And I swear to god, if someone tries to argue that I'm saying there are no copycats or creatively bankrupt people in the west, or that there's no creativity in Japan, just turn your computer off.

This is the 3rd manga from this author with the same premise of survivor isekai. Far be it from me to tell what a person can write, but when the plot is almost the same, you can’t help but think if the author can’t think of any other story while also sprinkling some ecchi content. It really comes as lazy but if they’re still making money, then I can’t say much about it. Thanks for the translations.
Damn, I just realized all three have the same authors even though the artists are different.

I guess I'll skip this since I much prefer the art of https://mangadex.org/title/c2db1e90...-isekai-no-mujintou-ni-tenishitakedo-ore-dake
