Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Reincarnated: Living Life in Another World
Reincarnated as a Slime
Re:Zero (IIRC)

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.

Overlord does that too, except the MC is remorseless and all his followers are evil. it's not the best anime out there but it's closest to my heart
