Anyone else BEYOND sick to death of the trope of the 'status screen' in isekais?
Like I get the isekai genre is inspired by videogames, but isn't this too on the nose, whilst being just a tad too unrealistic, even for fantasy? Like if it's a world of swords and magic, isn't it incongruent to have a computer screen flash up when you shout "status"?
And why isn't the implication of having a digital screen that gives numerical values to your abilities evident? That implication being; life isn't real - it's a simulation. This makes it all the more reasonable how someone could have glitched from one reality into another. But no one ever seems to talk about the status screen outside "whoah it's like them there videogames I've done played".

Anyway, gripe aside, I'll be following this.
Thanks for picking it up
I think the first isekai that did the status screen was Death March which the MC was a dev for a MMO that just put in a newbie package into the game, which he used the right time and leveled up considerably. Hence the status screens and being OP. Everyone else is just cargo culting it and hoping for success.

Why wouldn’t you job change to Tamer and get a free monster friend? He wanted to talk to it…

It's no exaggeration to say that the office entrance is what gives the initial impression of the company. If we were to liken it to a home, it's like the entrance.

That part stumped me :ROFLMAO:
Honestly could've worded it better now that I look back on it.

Novel excerpt:
It’s no exaggeration to say that the office entrance is what gives the initial impression of the company since it’s the first place that customers visit

For example, the entrance to one’s home as well. Rather than a dirty entrance where shoes are scattered around, a clean and tidy entrance with all the shoes properly organised and stowed away would give a better impression.

Is the novel available anywhere? The original group appears to be long gone, and a quick Bing search shows only the fly by night infinite aggregator works that you'd expect now that this got posted to Mangadex.

I read the title and thought it was stupid, but after reading it I’m interested

I'm more annoyed when the author doesn't understand status progression. Many tend to just have stats as arbitrary numbers that keep going up without context. I can only guess to use as a filler for content, or they can't show progression on their character themselves. Thankfully, I've read many stories where the authors realize that the status numbers don't mean or add anything to the story and they eventually drop them as a mechanic. About feel the same way about "Adventurer Rankings."

WAHOO, more trash to read
Also, what is this trope of turning adult man into teenagers once they get to another world. Let me have more adult isekai
