Wistoria 2nd cour should be a good native isekai next season.

The story is kinda bland, but the fights are cool in the 1st cour. The 2nd cour should cover a lot of fights, too.

yes, all it's referred to is the kind of narou-kei stock fantasy story that makes up the isekai genre except with a main character that is native to the isekai rather than being reincarnated into it, and the only ones who still feign confusion happen to have a stock narou-kei fantasy story such as Frieren as their favorite anime ever

Goblin Slayer is 100% when the term was first coined. I remember it. It's trivial to find the very thread where it happened.
https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/176568641/
That said, I feel like the meme died back for a while because the joke got played out until the last few years when fags have started forcing it again.

The "kicked out of the hero's party" shit is so fucking bad. Isekai is generic but those shows are like fucking carbon copies. And they somehow manage to jerk off katanas and rice even more than isekajins do. I'm disappointed in the Japanese people for loving that crap.

People have been correcting the retards from the start. It doesn't make a difference because they just see the (you)s and take it as a victory. You can't fix people who are deliberately pretending to be retarded for laughs. That's why the forced meme has persisted to this day.

You're right, and I'd definitely be up for more MT if the anime was actually kino. Too bad I only have the LNs and my imagination now since the anime adaptation is/will be such a letdown. I like MT since it has a great atmosphere and tone for a fantasy anime, so there's no point in watching a fantasy anime that's not fantastical. If the MT anime isn't absolute cinema, it's just gonna end up as depression fuel
MT is one of the few animanga series I care about, the rest I watch just to kill time or my boredom

ACKWHUALLY native isekai means that in literal sense.

>Isekai = another world
It's a story in another world but the MC is native in that world.
Example:
>Berserk
>Scrapped Princess
>Tears to Tiara
>Louie the Rune Soldier
>Slayers

Considering they're taking their sweet time with Season 3, I have high expectations especially since it covers source material that's almost universally regarded as the peak of the series. I don’t know why people are so pessimistic but it’s true that adaptation wise S2 was inferior to S1.
That said S2 was still better than 90% of the isekai and even non-isekai that have aired since MT. I can barely count on one hand the number of other series, isekai or not, that I’ve genuinely enjoyed since then.

Typical Protagonist: Overpowered tactician or administrator with modern knowledge
Tone: Semi-serious to serious, often focused on long-term growth over individual fights
Subgenres:
• Naisei-heavy: Economic reform, modern technology introduction
• Senki-heavy: War campaigns, tactical battles, enemy nations

2. Revenge Wank Isekai
Core Themes: Abuse, betrayal, face-slapping, hyper-violence, edgy justice
Typical Protagonist: Betrayed or humiliated person (often falsely accused), comes back for ultra-violent or humiliating revenge
Tone: Dark, edgy, cathartic, often morally ambiguous or outright trashy (in a self-aware way)
Subgenres:
• Sexual revenge: Often contains heavy NSFW or non-consensual content
• Social revenge: Face-slapping nobles, proving superiority
• Power fantasy revenge: Beating down enemies with overwhelming power

3.3. Tensei Isekai (Reincarnation-based Isekai)

Core Themes: Rebirth with knowledge of past life, gradual power-up, cheat skills
Typical Protagonist: Dead person reincarnated into new world, often retaining memories and sometimes special powers
Tone: Varies widely — from heartwarming to grimdark
Subgenres:

a. Monster Reincarnation

Protagonist is reborn as a non-human (slime, spider, sword, etc.)

Examples:
• Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)
• Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (So I’m a Spider, So What?)

4. Ten’i Isekai (Summoning / Transportation Isekai)

Core Themes: Summoned/transferred to another world, often without death or reincarnation
Typical Protagonist: Modern-day student or adult, summoned by a kingdom or divine being
Tone: Varies — from standard fantasy action to edgy power fantasy or comedy

Main Variants:



a. Class Transfer Isekai

Whole class (or large group) is summoned or transported together. Often features hierarchy, bullying, or class-based survival drama.
Key Tropes:
• Protagonist is usually weakest at first, then becomes OP
• Betrayal and social politics
• Classmates often become enemies or side characters
• Sometimes leads into revenge isekai



b. Solo Transfer Isekai

Only the protagonist is transferred to the new world. May be summoned as a hero, or transported by truck accident/god/prank.

Villainess Isekai (a.k.a. Akuyaku Reijou Isekai)

Core Themes:
Protagonist is reincarnated or transferred into the body of a villainess (typically in an otome game or noble society setting) and must avoid ruin or death flags, often by subverting her expected “evil” role.

Typical Protagonist:
A modern-day woman (often a shoujo otaku or office worker) who retains her knowledge of the story/game world.
She is often clever, socially adept (or comedically not), and uses her knowledge to alter her fate.

Tone:
• Lighthearted / Romantic Comedy is the norm
• Increasing number of drama-heavy, political intrigue, and dark psychological entries



Key Tropes and Themes:
• Otome game world or fantasy noble society
• Doom flags (exile, execution, bad ending)
• Rewriting one’s fate
• Female-centered perspective
• Romance with the “original capture targets” or unexpected characters
• Reverse harem or subverted romance dynamics
• Social climbing / Reputation repair / Empire-building arcs



Subgenres of Villainess Isekai:

a. Comedic / Lighthearted Otome Rebirth
• My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Hamefura)
• The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!!
• Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter (Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami)
• Beware the Villainess! (Korean manhwa with strong satire)

b. Dark / Tragic Villainess Reincarnation
• I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss (tragic heroine becomes cunning villainess)
• The Way to Protect the Female Lead’s Older Brother (dark romance)
• The Abandoned Empress
• I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again! (resetting life to avoid suffering)

c. Scheming & Politicking Villainess
• The Duke’s Daughter is the Knight Commander (court power struggles)
• Tearmoon Empire Story (time loop + empire reform)
• The Villainess Is a Marionette
• The Villainess Turns the Hourglass (revenge + cunning)

7. Kicked from the Hero Party Isekai (追放系 / Tsuihō-kei Isekai)

Core Themes:
The protagonist is expelled, betrayed, or deemed useless by a hero’s party or noble society, only to later reveal their true value, become OP, or build a better life elsewhere.
This is a revenge-adjacent, nariagari-infused subgenre rooted in social rejection and eventual catharsis.

Tone:
• Often vindictive, bittersweet, or healing
• May focus on slow life, redemption, or violent revenge, depending on the work



Typical Protagonist:
• “Support-type” (healer, strategist, logistician) seen as weak
• Wrongly blamed or scapegoated by arrogant hero/nobles
• Discovers hidden potential or cheat ability after expulsion
• Often emotionally repressed or deeply betrayed
• Common to form a new, more wholesome party (or harem)



Key Tropes and Structure:
1. Expulsion Scene: Hero party or kingdom kicks them out unjustly
2. New Life Begins: They seek quiet life or aim to get stronger
3. Revelation: Their “useless” power is actually broken or god-tier
4. Vindication: Old party suffers without them or comes crawling back
5. Optional Revenge: The MC may forgive or destroy them



Common Themes & Subtypes:

a. Slow Life after Betrayal
• MC moves to countryside or remote area and lives peacefully
• Focuses on healing, self-worth, community, slice-of-life

Examples:
• Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside
• Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita
• Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu (similar tone, though not a kicked-out story)

b. Revenge / Redemption Arc Kicked Out
• MC gets strong and confronts former comrades
• “You called me useless? Watch this.”
• Might include face-slapping scenes, kingdom conquest, or revenge

Examples:
• Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja
• Tsuihou Sareta Yuusha wa Level 1 ni Natteshimatta ga, Jitsu wa Saikyou ni Tsunagatteita
• The World’s Strongest Rearguard
• Kaiko sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life



c. Cheat Skill Awakening Post-Expulsion
• MC has hidden or misunderstood power that awakens after betrayal
• They grind alone and evolve far beyond their peers

Examples:
• Tsuihou Sareta Kusa Healer, Saikyou ni naru
• I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too
• Lv2 kara Cheat datta Motoyuusha Kouho no Mattari Isekai Life



d. Logistics / Support Mastery
• MC was a “burden” support but turns out to be the strategic backbone
• Often ends up building cities, supply chains, or supporting new heroes

Examples:
• The Great Cleric
• Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers
• Leadale no Daichi nite (not direct expulsion, but similar loner dynamic)



Overlap With Other Genres:
• Revenge Isekai: If MC retaliates
• Naisei / Domestic Affairs: If MC builds a town/business
• Nariagari: Always includes rise-to-power arc
• Healing / Iyashikei: In slow-life routes

Season 1 was the definition of a passion project. I thought every season was supposed to be. But then the studio that was literally created just to adapt Mushoku Tensei put a ton of time and resources into garbage homo genderbend manga adaptation and season 2 suffered heavily for it. I pretty much have zero faith we'll ever reach the quality of season 1 again just in terms of animation and production.

Ya I think there is almost universal agreement that S2 was inferior to S1 even on technical matters like animation and pacing, storytelling, and such. BUT, despite this I agree that S2 is still better than 99% of other isekai trash out there. The first half of S2 is a pretty excellent continuation from the emotional ride at the end of S1 and follows it up well, it's just a shame that the conclusion of that arc of fucking ED of all things which leads into the most boring arc ever where Rudy legit cannot tell that Fritz is his childhood friend despite her looking the exact same, talking the same, and having the same mannerism

modern isekai genre only exists because of Mushoku Tensei yes I'm not just saying MT is influential I'm saying it created the template, and without it, isekai as we know it would not exist. Re:Monster? Not even a template a crude mockery.
MT's release on Shōsetsuka ni Narō triggered a chain reaction, it became the most read, upvoted, and discussed story on the platform.
Narō authors directly cite MT as their reason for writing yes even Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken’s author said this publicly.
