Heh, hostage taker, you are a fool. If you shoot me I will be reborn in another world you know, so your threats are meaningless to me.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

I Was Shot By My Hostage-Taker For Refusing To Read A Bad Isekai And Was Reborn In Another World, But the World I Was Reborn In Was The Bad Isekai

One might even say the things an audience finds compelling and interesting are a detriment to someone actually living through it.

And this is exactly why the genre persists. At the end of the day, it's the fantasy everyone kinda wants.

Who said you would reincarnate as the protagonist in this Shitsekai?

the funny thing is, i've been writing this idea for a while? like i'm about a chapter-ish into it

a guy who is... not fond of fantasy and not really a gamer reincarnates into a cliche fantasy isekai VRMMO world (explicitly through a fuckup on the part of the afterlife bureaucracy- a lot of The Good Place has snuck into this) and has to try and make the best of things

i'm eventually going to drop the reveal that he's not the only person who got reincarnated into the world, and while a few of them are nice, most of them are complete assholes on the level of someone like Naofumi, who are using their newfound status and OP-ness to basically bend the world over a table and gently caress it. MC discovers this, gets almost incoherently angry, and devotes his new life to killing these people and protecting everyone who's actually supposed to be there, like a Guts whose beef is with Kiritos rather than demons

I watched the first episode of Part-Timer and didn't really care for it. I feel like it'd be better if it just went full parody--like, the devil serves his friends a giant pile of guts and skulls (the food of his homeland) and they all squee about how amazing it is

There are occasional bouts of serious action stuff but it's mostly doofy slice of life shenanigans. Also pretty much every villain becomes either a housemate or another schlub trying to make ends meet in similarly poorly planned fashion as Maou is after he wrecks their poo poo

The last thing I read in the manga was them going to a friend's farm to work temporarily while the store was being renovated, and Maou and Emi being parents to the best character in the series

Wasn't there one about a now middle-aged guy who returns back from the other world to the real world, but turns out his real body was in a coma, so now he has to re-adapt and junk?

An Isekai where a kid goes on a grand adventure and returns in adulthood with basically no real world skills or contacts to make it in society. So they either gotta break reality to bring that world's magic in (at a horrible cost) or try to find a way back to the other side - even if its suicide.

Or, perhaps more entertainingly, they start applying the lessons from the fantasy world they used to live in to our reality.

An Isekai where where a therapist tries to dissuade some 21 year old that they are not some JRPG hero. And as time goes on and the patient interacts with other people, more start to join them in their mass delusion to the point where the therapist isn't sure what is the real world.

Imagine a therapist trying to persuade someone that they're not living in a cyberpunk novel.
