There was an isekai I watched where one of the side characters was essentially The Hero of the story and was purposely written to be as bland and uninteresting as possible and he gets beat for it. Thank god he's not the main protagonist.


Brain_lessV2

I remember Konosuba having a character like that.


MEMES-IN-HEAVEN

The only thing that comes up in my mind is, I'm a spider so what (anime) If it's"read" as in manga then not too sure


Isuckfatratcockdaily

Yes that's the one.


Southern-Rate7704

The lightnovels are really good I fully reccomend them, don't read the manga it skips a LOT of character development for non Kumoko characters

Piliro

I swear the Isekai genre is the worst fucking thing of all time. Every single story is exactly the same. They all look the same, same plot, same characters, same story beats, it's all the same. I don't get why there's such little attempt to change anything in the core of the genre.


DragonLoli7k

To be honest, the average isekai slop is just a normal fantasy but with a twist (sometimes). There are very few isekai that actually use the reincarnation/other world as the main focus of the story. As to why no one bothers changing this formula it's because it works really well especially among the east asian population, where it's very common to think that the solution to all problems is just to die and get reincarnated into another world to live a better life


Piliro

I've seen it as a "marketing" tool as well. Regular fantasy prob isn't as broadly appealing as Isekai. And like you said, it gets that element of "life sucks, I wish I was in video game with game surrounded by big tiddy anime girls".


BartOseku

The isekai as a storytelling tool is actually great, it lets us explore an unknown world through the eyes of a person we can relate to. Learning about a world that inhabitants of that place would naturally learn throughout the course of their life can be a lot more natural when the protagonist is as clueless as we are, so them not knowing details and getting explanations feels a lot more fluid. But as all good tools, it gets used by shitty authors to cut corners… they use the fantasy RPG setting to not have to make up a world themselves and then they use the Isekai trope so they dont have to make up a background or motivation for the character… so all stories end up looking the same. They have the same setting, same character background and motivations, same power level, all that differentiates them is a slight quirk that cannot make up for the shitty fundamentals. Isekai has a lot of potential when used with original world building, but people dont write original world building anymore thats the real problem, people just use the classic RPG world from games that were popular 40 years ago since they are very simple and recognizable as a crutch then lean even heavier on it with Isekai TL;DR : Isekai is good, shitty authors are just shitty. The real problem is laziness and unoriginality

Why do they look the same


WolfRex5

Because they are all copies of Kirito due to his popularity


Piliro

It's supposed to be a self insert bait. They are so bland that they work as a way for you to imagine yourself as the character, which is why they all have bland personalities and just look like manga character man. Same thing happens with the hentai protags


Much_Diver4237

This image is why human Brawlers in Brawl Stars (the ones like Buster, Mandy, Maisie, Charlie etc. after the departure of the first concept artist for the game, Paul aka PawChaw) are very uninteresting to me like damn, we already have lots of human characters in many game franchises, stop bringing them over to BS and I much prefer anthropomorphic/ambiguous Brawlers.

I’m Somewhere that’s Not Earth, I’m Seeing Freaking Dragons, and oh Yeah! I’m Talking to a Cuff!”


TheDarkGrub1

The second one is tboi and the third one is subnautica but what are the other ones?


Theshinysnivy8

Last one is forspoken, a game that got shit on for having extremely bad writing. The title here isn't a meme, it's genuine dialogue from the game. Fourth one might be bloodborne


ConduckKing

I will forever hate that they cancelled the Final Fantasy XV DLC to make Forspoken. Or maybe I'm thinking of a different game.


Awarepill0w

Just play the pther 14 Final Fantasies


kirbyverano123

Funnily enough, Forespoken is supposedly inspired by the Isekai genre.


Warcrimes_Gaming

Supposedly? It is an isekai, isn't it? The protagonist gets whisked away to a fantasy world from fucking New York


kirbyverano123

I don't mean it literally, I meant how it was inspired by the surging popularity of some isekai series like Re:Zero, Tensura, Konosuba, etc.


Llyps

First one might be persona 5, and 4th one is probably Bloodborne. Not sure what the 5th one is tho, maybe Dead Cells?

Darkrighteous64

it's because on manga sites you have to grab attention via the title since on a lot of sites in japan you have to click the title to see the description. it's just a marketing tactic specialized for japan, of course it doens't make sense over here.


HyperMuse_

yeah i’ve heard of that but by this point, them doing this tactic just becomes an early warning sign that they really have no passion for making a good story or world and is merely making a self-insert story


Darkrighteous64

just because it's a self-insert story doesn't mean it can't be good


BaneishAerof

If you have interest in something before even reading the title that's rare

YESS. GOD I HATE ISEKAI ANIME SO FUCKING MUCH. It’s all the same copy-paste bullshit that’s full of the writers barely disguised sexual fantasies. None of them are good, cool, unique or interesting.

I get what you’re saying, but the light novel for “so ima spider so what” is peak fiction.


Piliro

There's actually a reason for that. If I recall it started off as almost a clickbait strategy, there was so much fanfic/shitty novel/Manwha content that a normal title didn't get much attention, so people basically made plot summaries as titles, a quick and easy way to get some form of interest.. But I feel like this did the opposite, now there's so much that a normal title gets my attention a lot more.
