Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?

But what the hell, I’m pretty sure there’s more isekai now than other genres/settings. It’s gotten to a point that if I see the tag I just move on.

    Yeah, I agree the genre has come down to a basic recipe.

    There are some exceptions:

    • Sword Art Online, technically an issekai, but only because they are trapped in the other world.
    • The Devil is a Part-Timer, reverse issekai where something foreign and god-like comes to the real world and becomes mortal

      I think the biggest reason I like Reincarnated as a Slime is he’s using his powers for everyone at a nation level. Any others with god-tier powers just feels like it’s only to benefit them or a small haram.
