Yeah Isekai loves to talk up magic systems as complex things requiring years of study then give the main character a spam magic button that makes him instantly super good and avoids the need to actually think about the magic system or how it interacts with the setting.

My favorite take on isekai magic is still "Magic User: Reborn in Another World as a Max Level Wizard". While everyone else is using some kind of JRPG system with mana pools and instant cast spells, the MC rocks up with with a D&D-based system complete with a house-ruled %5 failure chance.

Are we ever getting another volume of Magic User? Because I really liked that.

Favorite part is when he's in a hurry to leave but his dwarf buddies bully him into casting Make Wall first so they can quarry the rock.

Volume 4 now has a release date of 3/28/2023 so fingers crossed!

It is extremely horny but as extremely horny isekai goes it is on the upper tier.

Which really says more about the rest of the field.

All you need to know is that the dude's superpower is he is a Minecraft and operates on Minecraft logic and rules in a normal fantasy world.

e: and also that he's really into master/slave fetish as the slave.

Yeah it doesn't require deep knowledge of how Minecraft works, just basic stuff like "you make stuff by placing blocks", "blocks can be placed in mid-air", "there are achievements".

Edit: since we keep bringing it up, the actual title is Goshujin-sama to Yuku Isekai Survival! aka "Survival in Another World with My Mistress!".

Agreed, which is why I keep enjoying those dumb "we raised the MC wrong, as a joke" mangas where the MC thinks they're weak but are actually a god.

i also like the "we raised everyone else in the world wrong as a joke" premise where the MC is a completely normal person but everyone else assumes they're some unstoppable cosmic force that can shatter continents

I'm with you there too. That's why I like the ones where the protagonist comes in with a completely different powerset of their own than the rest of the population use. Like Magic User: Reborn in Another World as a Max Level Wizard that Nemo recommended at the top of the page. Or the Red Ranger one where even his status page doesn't have normal stats like you'd expect an RPG status screen to.

Yeah the Minecraft one in isolation needs to go to horny jail but the mc might be into that. Still, it is almost sweet in a genre that has some dude gently caress his house.

The house loving manga is such a weird series. It just comes right out the gate with that, then it mostly drops all the horny for ages in favor of doing generic power fantasy stuff.

I'd never think I would hear about a second piece of media where someone fucks their house. It was weird enough the first time. (The first one I heard about is in some webnovel called worth the candle).

I've always felt it was more of a gross joke the author refuses to let go of, though that is a very fine line.

It doesn't really matter though, it's a middling series that just plods along once you get past the early "wtf, he hosed the house" chapters so I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. I feel like the only reason I haven't dropped it yet is because the chapters are ~10 pages long so I've finished them before my brain has time to question why I still follow it.

Between that and the character with jumbo breasts, that's a lot of gross jokes. I mean, I guess it could be done . . .

It's not quite VRMMO but I've been really enjoying this 'dungeon tower appears on earth' style one where part of the system is people higher in the tower are watching and basically twitch chat for people below them. also mc knew everything in advance because of magic prophecy videos, but whatcha gonna do

there are an awful lot of webnovels where people reading twitch chat in real time is somehow important. often, the spectators are mythological figures with a vague pseudonym as their chat username.

I watched a promo recap thingy on Uncle From Another World. I was charmed by the idea of waking up from a 17 year coma/Isekai and asking your nephew for a status report on the console wars. I was smitten when he cried for the loss of Sega in his absence.


Is it good? How do I find... Anime?

Its good. the anime is on Netflix (and not the netflix jail). Unfortunately the studio first got hit by COVID, and the production was already having massive problems so it got delayed for a really long time. It should hopefully be coming back on the 24th.
