What was the isekai where some office people die and when selecting their jobs the old boss lady tries to get her old underling to work for her again, but he declines?

J-Novel Club has the Bakarina license, they tl'd the title as "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" I don't know how good their translations are.

I don't believe Duke's Daughter is licensed.

I only read like, four chapters, so I don't know if it turned awful, but the wrestleman with a pet store isekai starts that way. Claims to be by the Konosuba guy, for what that's worth.

Is Mushoku Tensei any good? It's one of the handful of series that never disappears from my Amazon recommendations.

The novel the manga is adapting eventually gets around to slave owning harem stuff, afaik the manga hasn't gotten that far yet. However it keeps emphasizing from the start that the main character is a grown rear end adult in his 30s in the body of a kid, which makes the romance with the girl his own age gross.

Also, Wikipedia has one of the funniest summaries I've seen for one of the volumes:

quote:

Two years after Eris' departure, the psychological trauma left Rudeus impotent. Since then, Rudeus has been adventuring and spreading his name in order to search for his missing mother. Roxy's companion, Elinalise Dragonroad, relays Zenith's location to Rudeus, and how the others wish for him to live his life instead. On the advice of the Human-God, Rudeus and Elinalise enroll into Ronoa Magic University, to cure his erectile dysfunction.

The LN translation was very good, but Skythewood pulled it offline since it got picked up by J-Novel. But ugh, Wild Game is one of my favorite isekai stories ever but the manga adaptation is just terrible.

Only Sense Online is VRMMO and not Isekai, but it is an MC who hasn't played the game before.

Sekai Game is a broken rear end game, but the MC knows all the exploits, and the exploits do exactly what he expects them to do.

I barely remember this but doesn’t it go hilariously wrong because the MCs trade the book to some blacksmiths by showing them the steel alloy chapters and much later the blacksmiths show up with cannons and the MCs are like “ohh gently caress gunpowder was in there also huh”

Something like that, yeah. Everworld was cool.

Factor_VIII posted:

I really disliked Tanya as a character due to the fact she's a manipulative sociopath who puts less value on the lives of those around her than a normal person would put to the lives of ants. She'd happily manipulate, injure or kill anyone if it benefited her in some way with absolutely no hesitation. I also didn't like that she was a genius with insane magic powers. The god that send her there was supposedly trying to teach her humility, so making her as overpowered as the average Narou isekai protagonist made no sense.

I would really describe it more as X was trying to teach Tanya to believe in X instead of being an atheist, thus the prayer she has to say every time she wants to use her magic.

is there a good isekai that involves someone from a fantasy world dying and reincarnating in another, entirely different fantasy world?

in my head this would be a cool vehicle to explore culture clash without having to accurately represent real life cultures

I don't know about "good" because I didn't read past the first chapter, but Ex-Hero Candidate's, Who Turned Out To Be A Cheat From Lv2, Laid-back Life In Another World does the fantasy to fantasy isekai.

I read the first chapter and was tentatively interested but 2nd chapter really turned me off to it. The "masculinity" stuff was certainly a thing :stare: Beyond that, his idiocy is not appealing and his idea of "hunting" being to violently slaughter half of an entire herd of bison was kind of a weird flex considering the whole "colonization of a native tribe's land" thing it already had going on. This one might not be trying to be creepy but it has a weird vibe to it so I"m gonna pass.

Did he do a whoopsie daisies and accidentally marry a teenage girl.

Is that what happened in chapter 2.

Have another while I'm at it :

Live Dungeon

The TL;DR version is that a gamer wants to finish a 100-floor raid before a game is shut down but can't get a group, so he 5-boxes it and succeeds. Then he gets Isekai'ed over to the world of the dungeon. Turns out that everyone there is basically stupid and just Zergs content without paying attention to party comp, and uses healers as disposable rez bots. So he finds two adventurers and decides to take on the dungeon with an actual strategy and balanced team. Also he gets poo poo on constantly because of course he does.

It's OK, not as funny as Karate Idiot but worth a look if you have run out of other stuff to read.

You know what, I'll take the revenge fic written by a bitter healer over the revenge fic written about a girl who didn't go out with you in high school.

Fun Fact: According to Frog-kun, she's good friends with the author of "Master of Ragnarok" author who is apparently a single father who got into the writing business since none of the other jobs provided universal single parent child care and only applied it to single moms so he became a writer since he could work from home on his own time which gave him freedom to support his daughter.

The afterward of Sexiled has her describe the Master of Ragnarok author as her mentor.

Y'all keep trying to explain how it's not the incel mra fantasy it sounds like and are not succeeding at this.
