    I love needlessly long manga titles.

    My cat launched a nuke and to stop it I married my plumber!

    Isekai is “normal fantasy setting” but you must explain everything to the MC, which is useful because you had to find a way to explain that shit to the audience anyway.

      If a protagonist isn’t affected by what they left behind, the isekai is failing its genre. That’s why Moshuko Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) is one of the best isekai. Not because the MC is likeable, but because he is haunted by what he left behind and is influenced by the personality he formed in his “home world”

      Isekai is “normal fantasy setting”, but it has RPG babble all over the place, and it’s the favorite game of the MC.

      Yeah Tolkien should’ve made Lord of the Rings an Isekai because I didn’t understand the fantasy and I want everything in the world of Middle Earth hamfistedly explained to me.

      Isekais are just lazy writing. Even for manga which are often already relying too much on exposition.
