I also picked up Reign of the Hunters. Decided it was over average when the MC was exceedingly proud of using her amazing foreknowledge to gain a skill that allows her to skip NPC dialog. The main suspension of disbelief is that such a bad and badly managed mmo wouldn't get laughed out of town in international competition.

lunar detritus posted:Are there any modern isekai manga already completed? I feel like every time I read a recommendation it ends just when it starts getting interesting. The list if anybody cares: "Katahane no Riku", "I’m Back in the Other World?", "Dragon’s Bloodline", and also some honorable isekai : "The Heavily Armoured Noble Girl Monette" and "The Legend of Sun Knight". Sun Knight is the only one that even has a manga adoption, and it (or at least the translation) stops very quickly. I still would totally recommend both versions to this thread. Though, like most long stories, it runs out of good ideas after a few volumes. Monette is the other recommendable one. The jokes stay funny thfough the whole length. And of course Katahane no Riku has a pretty unique starting hook: The MC is reincarnated as the sister (and haremmember) of a dating game hero. The hero is also a reincarnator and banishes the sister from the kingdom because he isn't into incest. But the story runs out of good jokes halfway through the runtime.

"Breaking Off the Engagement… Bring it on!" is updating again. It is a pretty fun story. The prince breaks of his engagement with the MC, and she is quite happy. Then the story starts tumbling sideways through sub-genres. The new updates finally finished the tournament arc. Though it is also one of those "barely technically not isekai" stories.

Meanwhile in another non-isekai, the best character appeared: https://mangadex.org/title/40076/i-became-a-legend-a-decade-later-after-telling-my-comrades-to-leave-everything-to-me-and-retreat-first The webnovel translation he is "God Fowl Lord Gerberga".

"The webnovel I was reading turned boring after it wore off its one joke, when suddenly a manga adaption tightened up the plot enough to make it good" "The hero was in love with me until halfway through the original plot, so I decided to make a career without him. But that actually made him fall in love with me and revealed that he actually was secretly in love for the whole old plot" Now available as a crossover.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:death mage mostly eschews formal slavery in favor of subverting free will. but after their free will is lost everyone is very happy about it! it's pretty hosed up, and not in any of the ways the story jokes about. I stopped reading a bit after this scene, which stuck in my mind: Our hero is 3 years old, sitting around, and gets attacked by two normal adult reincarnators. He is notoriously hated and ignored by the gods, so his power is always described as extremely weak. And all those reincarnaters have multiple clearly OP powers. In fact it he so weak that he has to get up from his chair in order to kill the two attackers. The scene is written so earnestly that I am absolutely sure that the author feels utterly unable to engage in that kind of heroic effort under any circumstances.

If you are looking for a good isekai with female lead, I think "The Saint's magic is omnipotent" is the best currently. https://mangadex.org/title/23631/seijo-no-maryoku-wa-bannou-desuJackard posted:'Shonen isekai with female leads' huh, does this count?

I am a bit sad because I have lost an excuse for recommending Sekai Maou. Previously it was the closest thing to an isekai that is good and finished. Actually, the "Sister of a summoned saint does home cooking" manga is also a finished isekai. I almost forgot about it, and can't look up the name while mangadex is down. e: And of course the best isekai ever is also technically finished, as it is a oneshot. I mean the one by the Hinamatsuri author. VictualSquid fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jun 23, 2020 |

There is that really dumb and bad one about a naked loli elf. Kuishinbo Elf. It has a few amazingly good chapters near the beginning where she ends up using her healing magic talent working in a hospital, while there is a massive war against the demon army. The war is lead by summoned hero with actual fighting talent. Then after the arc is over the story becomes boring and generic quickly.

That beast story manages to trigger the warning signs for "this will be creepy in bad way" and the warning signs for "this will be strange in a good way" in equal loudness. Another one that manges that is https://mangadex.org/title/46856/the-careful-empress Though after reading it the most likely possibility is the story never getting anywhere before the updates end. My current villainess recs are: https://mangadex.org/title/47286/beware-of-the-villainess https://mangadex.org/title/45833/the-villainess-reverses-the-hourglass https://mangadex.org/title/46790/the-stereotypical-life-of-a-reincarnated-lady

I actually will say that the story is not currently necessarily racist, due to the reaction of the MC to the situation. She calls out the (fantasy) racists, after all. And there is a theoretical chance that the manga avoids making the jump from depicting racism to being racist. I am not getting my hopes up too far, tho.

Zero_Tactility posted:How about a manga where there are parallel villainess otome isekais happening concurrently in neighboring countries, and they have to team up to help each other avoid their bad ends The extremely long and pornographic one came close to that. But the villainesses only met up after they all had independently avoided their bad ends and they ended fighting and saving one who failed and became evil or something. Name is I Don't Want to Become Crown Princess!!. It think there are also a few other stories where it suddenly turns out that every country in the region has a reincarnator running around.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i found a rather peculiar villainess manga. the mc is basically living out a villainess larp fantasy. reincarnation, otome game character, the usual. only, the specific things she does to be like a villainess seem to be building toward starting a peasant rebellion against the corrupt and incompetent aristocracy? based on the title, that is almost certainly not where it is going to go but it keeps focusing on that aspect above all else. it's very odd. I think I read part of the webnovel, and yes the revolution angle goes nowhere as usual. But, there are a lot of manga with those hints of revolution. But, at best they treat peasant revolutions as indistinguishable from noble coups and normal royal succession.
