the basic concept of ride on king is the hyper-masculine public persona putin created as propaganda going on isekai adventures. naturally, this character bears no particular resemblance to the real putin.

it's a good manga.

Another one for !Putin. Recent development has him learning how he can get back to earth and it's fitting for the series. He's going to ride a Triceratops/dragon down a lay line and once they hit 88mph we'll get to see some serious poo poo. But not before he finishes his diplomatic trip to the demon country.

that is what is known as "fan fiction". if you search for long enough you may be able to find traces of this obscure genre online.

Yeah, if I didn't have such a stupid brain I'd be reading more. But I can't visualize poo poo when I read it. That's why I'm reading manga most of the time.

Also people keep making wild stuff and that keeps my hope alive.

Honestly the thing that kept me from reading it was thinking it’d more closely resemble Actual Putin. I am now reading it and it’s pretty good and I hope it keeps aggressively refusing to make anyone horny for the 3000-year old Actual Child

Maiden in white...
You are not one of us.
Went through some more stuff, and found another series to recommend.

The Tanaka Family Reincarnates

quote:

An ordinary family that loves cats. One day, the whole Tanaka family died during a major earthquake. When they woke up, they were reincarnated as the Stuart family, a noble family from another world.

Though everyone is dressed in the Western style, they have memories of their previous Japanese lives. Even though they’re confused, they've gotten used to living in another world.
Normally I'd keep an eye on something like this and recommend it later when there's more than just a few chapters, but the premise here is unusual so I had to share.

A small warning, though. It doesn't have the best flow in these opening chapters, with it jumping around in time a bunch. I'm willing to give it a chance to find it's feet, though, since it's grabbed my interest.

Seeing her bug room made me think of wanting to see an isekai about making terrariums, aquarium, and other encolusures like that. A regular SoL manga about this would also be very welcome.

Isekai Ojisan

A guy's Uncle wakes up from a 17 year coma claiming he was in another world, and quickly proves it. But instead of joining a group to save the world he kinda went solo cause he's a giant ugly nerd in a world filled with gorgeous hunks and ladies. It feels a lot like Konosuba, but instead of the uncle being a raging perv/rear end in a top hat like Kazuma he's actually a decent person, everyone else is an rear end in a top hat though.

He's definitely a victim, not so sure on the decent person part. But definitely not a perv/creeper series in general, even if the faces make it seem that way every so often.

He missed out on society for almost two decades, if he knew where things would end up, he wouldn't be surprised that the elves from another dimension would be into humans.

This poo poo is absolutely making my day so far; thanks for the recommendation! Currently watching some of the Davos coverage and every time Real Putin shows up I can’t help pretending he’s actually Not Putin just scouting around for cool stuff to ride/judo flip.

New chapter for The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass.

I like how Aria might have been furious at first toward Veri, but she's actually willing to let her live in exchange for Veri helping her frame Mielle's head maid. A more generic isekai/time travel protag would have just killed Veri without blinking an eye, but Aria's providing Veri with food and transportation to go live as far away as possible. It really adds credence to the idea that Aria is a decent person who only wears a mask of being a manipulative villainess in order to fight against the people who drove her to her death in the previous timeline.

Well, she set up the cart to convince her anyway. It remains to be seen if she can actually get her out of this immediate situation safely.

I don't follow baseball, but isn't that against the rules? If it wasn't than any good batter would just be walked by the pitcher right leaving only the bad batters to actually progress the bases?

Nah, intentional walks are a strategic move, they’re just not liked by fans. There’s just not a ton of batters who are scary enough that most pitchers will need it. Even a really good batter typically only hits one in three pitches, after all. The game favors the pitcher heavily and intentional walks only come out against really, really scary batters.

E: for example, Barry Bonds. Here’s a fun video exploring that fear.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwMfT2cZGHg

E2: the other reason you don’t see it a lot is that one really good player can’t save a team. You use the intentional walk in key moments, because even if there’s one dude who can hit grand slams regularly, baseball is a sport where that can still lose games if the rest of the team can’t keep up.

Intentional walks were also formalised in such a way that you don't even need to just throw a bunch of balls, you just signal that you're intentionally walking them.

I think there should be an otome game that has a New Game Plus which puts you in the role of the villainess; it has to be a NG+ mode so that you get the authentic experience of knowing about the game before being thrust into her role.

Buta Koushaku ni Tensei Shitakara, Kondo wa Kimi ni Suki to Iitai

I've been reading it lately, and it's quite good. MC is watching an anime and wakes up the next day as the 'Piggy duke' - A side character in an anime he likes. The Piggy Duke is widely hated as being a fat, terrible character who abuses his power and authority and is a complete rear end. But at the same time he's got good reason for acting like he does, and in reality he's a very kind and devoted guy. The character has a tragic story in the anime (Lost love, not lost life), so the MC decides to try to avoid the tragedy and aim for a happier ending.

https://mangadex.org/title/24206/buta-koushaku-ni-tensei-shitakara-kondo-wa-kimi-ni-suki-to-iitai

It's quite interesting, no slavery, only the mildest of fanservice, an MC who's really likable despite not being the protagonist of the anime. There's plenty of action, plenty of fights and magic and so on. I'd highly recommend giving it a look to anyone who's looking for a fun new series.

Funny thing was when I was looking at a chapter it definitely takes a stab at the usual tropes Isekai has. It helped washed off the bad taste Mushoku tensei had in my mouth.
