It kinda is i usually can tell what kinda of story the author wants to tell but i'm kinda lost here.
The author's other work is the same also. Zero clue what the fuck that story is trying to be, and I initially stuck with it because it was a cute romcom. Dropped it unfortunately

I don't mind it with how boringly predictable a lot of isekai, heck, most current stories are.
If the MC is overpowered (Slime Isekai, Overlord, Solo Leveling), the story is absolutely boring. For Solo Leveling, he'll be challenged at the start, and then it quickly becomes boring. I appreciate a bit of unpredictability and not making the protagonist overpowered in the first place, at least not without something to balance that.

Anyhoo, she's not wrong with otherworlders (possibly) abusing their power. It's a comedy series, but KonoSuba has a lot of problems caused by said otherworlders.

(she's vegetarian that wants to punch meat eaters)
Okay, I already hate her 🤣
One of her buddies looks like an eagle, guess what they eat.

I really like how the author weaves in subtle world-building just through Nora's interaction with Moolyn and Norn alone. Unlike a lot of modern isekai, I actually feel like some thought was put into that aspect of the narrative.

Damn. There is not one single decent person in this manga. Every body has some f*cking hidden agenda or ulterior motives to take advantage of MC. Nora fell easily in this trap. She was in no obligation to talk with this b*tch and her furries.

Why is his slave just randomly signing contracts, that hide things from him for absolutely no reason whatsoever, just because she said "sign here" >> "oF coUrSE", also literally every character in this story sucks ass 🥲

Exactly.
Im sick and tired of how "samey" all isekai nowadays feel. After reading a few in a single week I can't even tell them apart anymore. Same op MC, same predictable story.

This manga went a totally different way than I imagined. It started like a generic isekai, but a lot of thought actually went into world building and story writing. By far no masterpiece but right now it's far better than around 80% of the other isekai that can be found on mangadex

Sturgeon's Law (ninety percent of everything is crap) applies to even manga yeah.

Haven't caught up with this series lately since it wasn't updating regularly a while ago, and now with MangaDex getting hit with the recent DMCA takedowns...

Yeah. Its especially annoying for series that don't even have an English translation. Ironic enough, there are enough pirate sites that are offering the officially serialized and translated manga. Its the fan translated ones however that are often missing.

A year ago the publishers from Japan started hitting anime sites like aniwave. It seems now they are targeting manga sites too. Wasting everyones time an money. I wonder how long it's gonna take until they realize, they don't increase their profit with these actions. If ever.
