As the weeb I am, I read a lot of manga and light novels, more speciffically; Isekai [other world]
Many of them seem to be very similar in plot: I died got reincanated/was summoned to another world, then s#!t went down and now I’m OP.
I want to rectify this by suggesting an alternative plot; a mage/sorcerer is mocking about with/researching spacial distortion magic and tears the spacetime continuum/teleports geting isekai’d to modern day giving way to two bossibilities:
- a slice of life as the mage is adjusting to modern day life or
- an Epic about how a man was researching sorcery and is now trying to incorporate science into his research advancing lightyears ahead and subsequently becoming a demiurge
I love TWA! I have paid a lot of attention to them, Overly Sarcastic Productions, and Hello Future Me. Hopefully that will help my own writing. :)
