Cross-posted from "What's up with the isekai genre? Are there any good isekais out there?" by @Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com in !manga@ani.social


It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn't read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it's kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just "guilty pleasures"? The only one I've been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.

Edit: got a lot of recs, thanks everyone :)

Yes, there are good ones, they just don't market themselves as 'isekai' because they have other stuff going on as well and they advertise as that instead.

I like Overlord mainly because it's somewhat of a subversion of the genre. It's SAO but the MC is max level in the game and has everything, so he needs to find new challenges.
