Thread 96034035

When running an isekai-themed game, what are the expected "overpowered bullshit" powers for the PCs? Which overpowered bullshit protagonist powers are your favorites?

My working list so far is:
>awareness of one's own stats, HP, etc.
>instant knowledge of other characters' classes, levels, etc.
>save points
>HP/MP bloat
>access to the in-setting help menu

What else is there?

>>96034035 (OP)
Being able to survive being attacked by a cat

>>96034035 (OP)
Slave collars and slavery.
Collars that magically force slaves to obey your every command on the physical level even if they're mentally unwilling.

>>96034054
Are you the sperg who gets upset at d&d every morning when he wakes up?

>>96034134
No, I just wanted to take a cheap shot at an old D&D joke, good sir.

>>96034035 (OP)
I think if you like isekai with overpowered mcs and dragonquestslop bullshit you are a massive faggot and should feel bad for it.

Solo Leveling is the worst thing to happen to anime in decades

>>96034035 (OP)
>When running an isekai-themed game,
No one does that.

>power that seems weak at a first glance, but in truth is actually OP as fuck if you think for more than a minute
Super Defense, Shitty Attack (easily changed using some atk - def switch spell)
Luck-based abilites (but for isekaifags they always roll just right when the moment arrives)
Gacha or random abilities (plot has them spew out trash until their moment happens then boom, super invulnerability)
Character has no element in an element-based world (but gets high mana, unlimited buffs or other retard strong powers)
>powers that let you take/use other powers
>I'm a magicless user in a magic world so I just casually received super strength training that's essentially magic

>>96034142
Getting stranded in another world as a normie is its own genera and I am okay with that if Isekai-fags stay in their lane and stop trying to claim time-travel stories are Isekai.

>>96034035 (OP)
That depends on whatever has the author tweaking at that moment. Anything can suddenly be turned into an OP ability at the author's desire.

>My class is a chef
>I'm suddenly able to level up and gain monster abilities by cooking and eating them.
>No one in the isekai world has ever thought to do this before.

>>96034620
To be fair, cooking monster meat is probably not easy given how tough and chewy most of them must be

>>96034142
This.

>>96034035 (OP)
>Which overpowered bullshit protagonist powers are your favorites?
Being able to skim the absolute schlock that is 99% of the genre to find the 1% of interesting bits and ignore the rest.

Seriously though, the deadly sin skills from Spider.

>>96034163
Why? It's not even close to the first reverse-isekai/portalslop.

>>96034658
Naturally it depends on the setting. The manga I was thinking of has the MC getting tossed into some jungle where he has to survive with his chef skills and gradually stacks abilities after he's able to kill a monster and eat it.

By the time he goes back to society he has a magic, sapient sword, a ghost/lich servent, and a stack of abilities he gained from monsters.

The only thing that reminds you he was a "chef" is some busted ability to summon the power of gods with his cooking although it comes with a major cool down and drawback (currently inconsequential).

And don't forget the harems. Always the harems.

>>96034035 (OP)
The regressor trope.

Honeslty the only decent implementation of it is a dude who has to relive the day he is killed and winds up spending years stuck on the same day while training to and redoing fights over and over again until he succeeds while death tells him to give up.

>>96034722
Gotta have the wish fulfillment element, yeah.

>>96034721
The consequences of its success won't become obvious for a couple of years.

>>96034781
So irrelevant, since by that time the genre will have completed its current running into the ground and sink somewhere around the planetary core, and I'll be long done with it.

>>96034756
>Honeslty the only decent implementation of it is a dude who has to relive the day he is killed and winds up spending years stuck on the same day while training to and redoing fights over and over again until he succeeds
So basically All You Need Is Kill?

>>96034862
I've never read the manga but I presume a similar case except the dude is trying to use his infinite regressing to try and become a super human knight or whatever they were called so he's not mind broken by his experience (insane certainly but not in a depressive way).

>>96034134
>>96034140
I thought it was a WOD joke?

>>96034756
How the fuck do you spend years reliving the same day while training? Is the MC a fucking idiot?

>>96034887
Joke on how the average commoner and nobleman npc character classes have less hit die than a single attack from a housecat, meaning a nobleman could get sliced in half by a housecat like a ninja

Probably one of those instances where he got shoved into a "high level dungeon" aka taking on things 99 levels above him, and he just savescummed his way through it

>Knowing what will happen, starts to turn to his team mates for training and lessons and tries to apply these skills in the battles that he usually dies in.

Housecats are also kinda broke in WoD as well, the famous Green Text where the GM threw the cat of the old lady the vamp just merc'd and the cat ended up kicking the vamp's ass.

The common chicken also apparently has more lethal attacks to its name than the Cassowary.

That "I'll survive using potions" show leaned into the completely broken aspect of being able to request any object as long as she specified it was actually a potion container.

There's your problem. Overpowered Bullshit is inherit to the genre

>>96041147
>There's your problem.
Could you explain the problem?

>>96041201
Not that anon, but he's clearly thinking about the wish fullfillment stories that are common in manga and anime, where the main character is given special perks that make them all but invincible. Nobody would see an issue if it was more on the level of Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz type of isekai stories.

>>96041217
You didn't answer the question. What "problem" is being referred to in this post

>>96041147
>Isekai-themed game
>There's your problem. Overpowered Bullshit is inherit to the genre

>>96041242
Probably that people associate the idea of "overpowered bullshit" with isekai, meaning lots of power advantages in favor of the player characters, meaning broken game balance. And broken game balance is seen as a big no-no when running traditional games, except when it's not one meant to be taken seriously.

Or he's being a snob who thinks that anything even vaguely anime-related is a "problem". Either or.

alchemy being one of those. it is actually useless to 99% of people in tyhat weorld because the really cool/powerful potions can only be made with exotic magical reagents that can only be procured from areas so dangerous only one in ten million individuals has the means to go there. but the MC actually lives in those area and turns the world-destroying monsters that live there look like chumps in contrast.
its just dumb.

I like an Isekai where the MC struggles and earn his fucking wins.

>>96034035 (OP)
I used Wild Talents for this, specifically Progenitor. Progenitor has a long and complex explanation, but in brief there are 'tiers' of power, ranging for 1st-tier (Basically God) to 10th-tier (A single gimmick at best.) The powers you get don't improve, and they don't change much: You have what you get, and you have to learn to do your best with it.
The PCs were solidly 4th-tier (i.e. Effectively demigods) which meant that most things wouldn't be a challenge for them.
Since the PCs are fairly new to the system, I basically asked each one what they wanted, and tailored their character to them accordingly. For each player, I kept asking "All right, and then what ELSE do you want?" until they ran out of points. As magic weapons seem a convenient explanation as any for powers, we got the following PCs.
>Sword: Incredibly fast, blade cuts through anything near and at a distance, can teleport short distances while destroying the surrounding area. Has Hypercommand (i.e. He's basically unflappable.)
>Bow: Super-senses, each shot is a huge bolt of destruction. He can split one big shot into multiple smaller shots. Has Hypercharm (i.e. super-charismatic)
>Shield: Has a passive aura that 'bounces back' damage on anyone who attacks him or his allies. Extremely hard to damage. Has a 'death-aura' that simply kills organic life around him, but leaves inorganics unharmed (i.e. He just walks towards you and you die.)
>Spear: Never misses, kills opponents on impact, can fly. Spear can be thrown for the same effect, and he's incredibly tough when the spear is in hand. Can parry anything.
Upon arriving in Isekailand, the PCs awoke in the summoning chamber, hailed as the heroes of legend by the High King and his son. The PCs were informed that they were here to defeat a great evil (the Nightmare King and his Twisted hordes) and that they would be sent home with great rewards.

>>96043146
Alternatively, they could stay as honored guests and Heroes. They were feasted, feted, and told that they would accompany the army on a campaign to take a city nominally aligned with the Nightmare King. I think the players were quite surprised at this, because they expected to go out and start killing monsters.
At any rate, they set off a few days later. The High King's nation (Trigan, after the epic graphic novel) was basically a proto-Roman republic, admittedly with a more Arthurian theme. The PCs were held in reserve as a trump card, but were expected to join the fighting at the right moment. The walled city they were laying siege to was ready for the attack, and arrows fell like rain (and acid soaked the walls) as the first wave of men were sent into combat, with siege towers and ladders being deployed.
The Bow PC promptly shattered the gates of the city with a full-power shot, then blasted a huge chunk out of the walls, and everyone else swarmed to the attack. The Spear PC flew onto the battlements, carrying the Shield PC, and Sword accompanied the knights as they charged in through the main gate.
I note that at this point the players seemed a little uncomfortable. This clearly wasn't what they were expecting, and the fighting was more brutal than they'd expected. They hadn't even seen a monster yet. Spear and Shield started killing their way down the walls, while Bow stood back and kept picking off enemy wizards and war machines with pinpoint shots. Every time he saw organized resistance, he nuked it with his bow.

>>96043157
A lucky hit from a ballista almost destroyed his siege tower, and he scrambled back down to start shooting upwards from ground level, blasting more chunks from the walls.
After the first clash, Sword saw that civilians (conscripted into a bucket brigade and a robust militia) were trying to flee from the assault. They were promptly ridden down (despite his protestations) and killed by the charge. By yelling, he made himself heard and used Hypercommand to get the men to dismount, but by then more soldiers were flooding into the city, killing and burning everything.
Between Spear and Shield, people were killing and trampling each other in sheer desperation, trying to get away from both unkillable demigods. They basically had no chance, Shield ramped up his aura to full power and just marched forward. At one point they were outright retreated from his death-field, and he rolled up the entire flank. Both groups met in the middle, with Bow (cautiously) joining the general flood of men clambering up the walls. At this point, they had killed effectively hundreds of people, and broken the back of the enemy army.
The PCs found the main temple, which was filled with the people of the city, and narrowly managed to avert a massacre (and the looting of the treasures there). Some of the soldiers grumbled, but were cowed due to the prodigous prowess of the players. The PCs emerged to see that the ruling family had been killed, with the banners of Trigan going up above the city. Spear went to ask - Where were the Twisted and the minions of the Nightmare King?
Their liason officer explained to them that by not siding with Trigan, the city-state supported the Nightmare King and his minions by default, undermining the Grand Alliance by holding out for neutrality.
At this point, Spear's player asked me:
> were we literally killing people the whole day to help them take over?

>>96043170
I said yes, they were working for an expansionist kingdom, to aid in the struggle against the Nightmare King. They were admittedly in the way of unification. The other PCs saw that the survivors were being marched away in chains for conscripted labor, and Shield asked if there was anything he could do. None of his powers were relevant to the situation, unfortunately.
We ended off on a victorious note, with the PCs having conquered the city that was now open to pillaging. Spear was offered a pretty captive, and - when he refused - was asked if he wanted a boy instead. Bow was given an award, a trophy ring forged from the weapons of the men he'd killed.
I kind of lost touch with the players after that. It turns out that Spear's player thought that the game was something else entirely, and Bow was uncomfortable with the fact that they hadn't got to fight monsters. I'm not really sure what he was uncomfortable by, he'd been pretty good at shooting them down throughout the sessions. Sword was interested in continuing, but he sort of dropped off the channel and mentioned that this was very different from what he'd expected.
I note that they were all 100% for it after I'd initially explained the premise, so I think something must've gone wrong somewhere.

Because after all the real superpower is ease of living.

Not that guy, but it’s typically something like the mc was a late bloomer or making shit out of nothing with an actual gacha roller. My favorite was a dude who had fucking origami as his super busted skill, cause at least there I understood why people gave him shot for it.

>My favorite was a dude who had fucking origami

Any other actual examples?

>>96034035 (OP)
2>4>3>1

>>96046188
Like the other anons said, there's a million examples, but if you want a more "typical" example, I'll leave you one in the tradition of overly specific titles:

>The Reincarnated Useless Prince Exiled to the Land of Death, Creates the Strongest Village by Expanding his Territory at Lightning Speed with the Skill Auto Craft: Starting a Leisurely Life of Territory Development with the Strongest Craft Skill

>>96046293
>Like the other anons said, there's a million examples
I keep hearing that, but so far I've only seen one example >>96045935

>>96046227
Those girls are only 19 years old you sick fuck

>>96046316
Part of that's incentive to check it out on your own, but the other part is that the isekai genre is filled with a lot of unoriginal stories that copy from each other. So seeing one means you've seen like fifty others. They generally follow their own set of cliches, stuff like

>Character is given a mystery skill and deemed garbage because the people looking for that skill don't understand what it is supposed to do, like a gunsmith in a world without guns or the skill outright being in an unreadable language
>Character gets thrown out because they're given a support class like healer/artificer/builder instead of out-and-out Hero
>Character gets thrown out/treated like shit because they don't get access to the good shit until they're higher level, meaning that they start the story being treated like the party bitch
>Character gets booted just cause they got a skill that is obviously busted as fuck to the readers but sounds lame to the people living inside it, ex. "Appraisal", "Auto-Build", "Gacha", "Ancient Summoning"

Really, though, if you want ludicrous "People underestimated my skill" stories, they're not technically isekai ones. Just bogstandard fantasy stories about hidden potential, albeit where the creators can go as crazy as they want, like giving their heroes "hidden potential" like [Alarm Clock] or [Absolute Memory] or [Schrödinger's Cat].

>>96046227
We're not here to argue because you're correct.

>>96046316
There's this >>96045874
The thing is, isekai slop is just that. They're all the same, and they don't occupy anyone's memory space after they've been consumed. It's always McNormalguy getting beaten around for being weak but he's secretly op and gets a harem of loli catgirls.

The reason I can't name any other examples is because, after watching this one anime the other anon mentioned, any time I look up something and it's isekai, I drop it immediately. And the reason I know why there's a ton of generic isekai trash around is because that happens a lot.

>>96047206

Feel free to look them up yourself.

>>96047265
Most manga pirate websites outright define isekai as a genre for their search engine filters with how many subpar ones exist. It's not that hard to search yourself

>>96034054
Is this a "The King in Yellow" reference?

>>96043175
I love these kinds of games in theory, where all players are tricked into thinking it’s a different game than what you give them. If only there was a way to actually make them enjoy it and keep playing.

>>96047265
Anon.... there are a million examples. Just go to any Manga site, look up isekai genre, scroll through the titles until you come upon something like "I got the world's worst skill but it's secretly powerful?" Or "I got a useless ability but its actually a cheat skill?!" Or "living the simple life with my barter skill thats totally broken!" Etc... most isekai will have some element of the Mc having a seemingly useless power thats actually super strong.

>>96047635
DESU, even if it's not an isekai, the one that I find funniest is the one where the protagonist has an "auto-mode" cheat. Which on the surface sounds like it would make whatever result of something he wants instantaneous. And it does...but only from his perspective, because the cheat skill basically shuts his brain off and puppets his body to accomplishing whatever task he forced it to do no matter how improbable or dangerous it will be. Such as when doing "auto-walk" from his house to the guild and being pleased he got there in five minutes, only to find out he only achieved that because his body was taking potentially lethal shortcuts to do it including a several story drop onto a soft shopping cart to do it, without his conscious mind being the wiser. That's the kind of ridiculous shit that I read most isekai and overpowered skill stories for

Remember that in the most bullshit anime powers is the core of using such a power in unique ways.

Honestly that one is shockingly competently done. It's one of those rare examples of garbage isekai novels that got picked up by mangaka with actual souls who found ways to make retarded premises and bad script-like writing into something fun and compelling.

>>96054233
It's like arguing whether 2ed 40k is oldhammer or middlehammer. You'll find people with very different criteria who'll fight tooth and nail over them.
Personally, I'd classify time-travels and alt-history travels as isekai-adjacent and love them for scratching the same itch without most of the OP shit. Especially since it quickly becomes obvious you ARE gonna bleed irreplaceable future people/tools/resources just to avoid losing it all.

also, I'd like to take this opportunity to shill Jin

More like the author says it's useless but it's obviously OP.
Like "I have shit stats but I can see everyone else stats and know their loyalty and what they think and who they are and I'm basically omniscient! How will I ever manage to survive???"

>>96034035 (OP)
Dunno. Never played an isekai. My version is waking up completely invincible allowing some alterations for hair/nail trims. Nothing else. Just, " Nope, still can't hurt me.".

Imagine running across a multilane highway and being ricochetted around by traffic like a pinball. All that destruction and carnage, it was fun as hell. Standing there, naked, clothes burned and tore away, laughing as they arrest you. What the hell can they do? You're invincible, just headbutt your way out of jail. Might take awhile. But everything breaks eventually, except you.

Fuggem. They get tired of you and shot you into space? It'll be ok. But you're gonna get mighty angry swimming through the void back. Probably gonna think of some REAL sick shit to pull to make the boredom go away. So, if not them, their descendants will get to call your bluff.

Better to just come to the agreement that I'm allowed to play in traffic. Or make me a pinball machine to play in.

Yep. No one has ever shaped steel by hitting it repeatedly. Never.

Dumbass. The hammer is so it don't hurt and heat just makes it easier and faster.

Now think about a hammer that's man-sized, immune to wear, that's swinging itself at something. Forever.

>>96061110
>The hammer is so it don't hurt and heat just makes it easier and faster.
The hammer is also hard, heavy and able to put the entire force of the blow into a much smaller area.
Heat softens metal so less force is needed to move it.
A human hand pounding on steel probably wouldn't do much even over long periods of time.

>>96059464
If the author doesn't pretend it's a shit skill it's fine.
What's cool about the "terrible isekai skill" twist is that MC has to be creative to put it to good use. If he doesn't then it's just another OP skill.

And I don't mind OP skills, but it's a lie and sets false expectations so I get mad. It's like looking for big tits videos and half of them are small tits ones.

Spider's good. She does become OP, but so do her opponents. And her humanification does have significant drawbacks to start with.
Oh so you became human by surpassing the game engine? Have fun relearning everything you used the system to do, including walking, over the next year or so. Also no you're not some magical animu white beauty, you're just an albino, good luck not getting roasted by any kind of sun since it also fucked your in-game resistances

>>96061110
>The hammer is so it don't hurt
The hammer is a force multiplier. The heat is to make the metal malleable enough to be deformed by your swings.

>Spider is carried by the voice actor being at 110% effort all the time
This is true.

The main VA of Villainess Level 99 has a voice that's pure sex even though she keeps it restrained most of the time. I almost died at the final episode

>>96047635
One of the reasons I really liked My Next Life as a Villainess is that it doesn't do this at all. Canon-Katarina is a useless earth mage. Bakarina is...a useless earth mage. She becomes a pretty good gardener, but that's because she spends literally years working at becoming a gardener. If I spent ages 8 to 17 learning gardening, I'd probably get pretty good at it, too. And even then it's not like she's magicking up supercrops or anything; she's just good enough to grow edible food.

She technically has the superpower of "I know what's going to happen later in this Otome game, and I know all the character backstories, so I have to take steps to avoid my canon death!", but the thing is that all the horrible things that happened to canon-Katarina, happened because she was a horrible person. So even if Bakarina had no idea what was going on, she *still* probably would've ended up coming out on top (or at least achieving her goal of not dying/being exiled), simply by virtue of being a nicer person. No bullshit MC powers needed, just simple kindness and making better life choices.

>>96034035 (OP)
the fat tits on the left are appealing and suckable, but the far right chick still has nice ones and a much better face so I claim her. her big titty friend can watch, though.

>>96072756
Bakarina's bullshit MC power is being able to charm all the other characters and accidentally add them to her harem of orbiters (this is not a bad thing).

>>96072103
Case in point.

>>96072775
They are all cute, but only one has fat tits.

What are some Isekai tropes that you feel are overdone? For me having the world literally work on game mechanics I. The context of the story seems a bit forced. Just look at Rising of the Shield Hero to see what damage seeing the world as a game can cause.

What about things you wish you saw in Isekai more?

>>96079846
I've started seeking out female-oriented romance isekai because harems are overdone and girl isekai usually portrays a solo female bouncing between potential suitors, rather than a male protagonist acquiring a new girl for his traveling harem every episode.

I'm a sucker for the retarded mechanics you're describing, with My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even At Level 1 taking the top spot. I liked Log Horizon's take on the system governing concepts, like which entity owns real estate and how the owner can set flags to disallow specific situations on the premises.

REEEEEEE

Now that the isekai genre is old enough for people to be sick of it and/or run their own games as a theme, what are the good ones? Even the novels have the stupidest fucking names like "I Died and Was Reincarnated as a Level One Salaryman," so I haven't really read anything. Sturgeon's Law says 10% of them should be surprisingly alright, so what should I put on my list?

>>96095262
Sad news is with how big the genre is, you might have to list what you do and don't like to see, cause right the category's still broad enough to include the non-shitty, er, I mean non-self insert kind like Monster Rancher and Rave Master

>>96095046
That's not nearly as bad as the fact that she becomes some sort of stupid drider with the spider head still intact, basically wearing the human upper body like a retarded hat. The less of that we had to see, the better IMO.

Reject fantasy. Embrace Sci-Fi. It's still schlock but It's shlock that's been done less than the other.

>>96095595
I tried to read it on a whim and I don't know if I'm too old, this genre sucks or the translation is very bad but reading it felt like I was having a stroke.

Slightly off tangent, but you must also have the "choleric shoe-lacer" type of antagonist. I.e., the former party leader who kicked out your overpowered but humble japenis MC because he thinks you're useless even though you humbly carried the party all the time, but after you're kicked out, he suddenly fails quests because he can't even tie his own shoelaces (hence the name), so he goes on a comically inept revenge quest against you. Also you need crop rotation and gunpowder. When you run out of ideas, introduce magitech giant robots/mecha.

>>96101271

Basically, the only manga from the last 10-20 years you could read safely are Dungeon Meshi, A Bride's Story and MAYBE Golden Kamuy.

>>96101271
...N-no, anon, as in Monster Rancher. The children's cartoon based off the video game series. Where some ordinary kid is tasked to save the world, but isn't doing so with cheat powers that the author granted them but by using their own intelligence and actually working together with the natives that live there. You know. Like an actual story.

Are you okay? You need some headache medicine, man? You seem ridiculously pissed about this for no reason. Cause I'm still willing to name some decent modern day isekai stories, but you're coming out of the gate pretty heated.

>>96101300
Dubs of truth, man. It sucks getting old.

Maybe it's just that lazy names have always been associated with the absolute bottom of the barrel in fantasy literature. It's like a whole genre where everything's called Shitty Waste of Time: The Series and everyone's like oh yeah but the Why The Fuck Even Bother novels are so much better.

>>96101303
If you meant the Pokemon clone, that's aight. I thought you meant pic related.

>>96101362
Nah, definitely not. I was thinking something more like Drifters, which focuses on sending a bunch of historical figures into a fantasy world and watch them tear shit up. Or Konosuba, which is more akin to what would actually happen if a total loser got himself attached to some overpowered anime babes and told to save the world, i.e. he's too busy trying to wrangle their autistic asses to care about their looks, and they spend more time working to make ends meet and spending what little they have getting drunk than generally saving the planet.

Or I'd recommend the manga where a dude reincarnates as Yamcha from DBZ and pushes himself as far as he can, since that one is short and the title is exactly what it says.

>>96101433
No it's too late I'm already reading TFRFSBASRMRV1:ROTWT and you can't stop me

>>96101557
Always funny how that was like the premier "What the fuck kind of stories does Japan come up with" light novels, but it took this fucking long to get an anime adaptation

>>96095046
Even the author agrees, so she spends a volume or two extra as a drider in the novels. Also IIRC she doesn't like being humanoid aside from social convenience, so she turns back into drider form whenever relaxing.

>>96101362
Why ARE names like this so common? Is it just a translation thing or what?

>>96113861
Marketing. The website where most of these litrpg books found their footing found a way to game the system was to basically fill the title area with as many words that their search system tagging system would pick up, and when those books were made in to proper books they didn't bother changing them. So you have stories with titles that are multiple sentences long since that's what it takes to stand out from the rest.

>>96113861
If you mean overly long and descriptive, it's apparently so busy Japs can glance at the title and decide if they want it without even reading the blurb.

>>96114082

>>96095595
What are some other good sci-fi isekais then?

>>96034035 (OP)

I like the one where the guy basically became Steve from Minecraft. He's the US Army Corps of Engineers and Lend/Lease combined as a single person.

Crafting powers more generally are nice. Particularly when the author seems to have at least skimmed the Wikipedia entry for whatever it is they're talking about.

It's also a longstanding tradition, going back to "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" to have a guy wandering around a sword and sorcery world with a gun.

>>96049042
There's some great isekai out there but no one who cares about the "genre" give a shit about them.

>>96125041

It's double Isekai then. I just like when people actually think a bit about what impact these powers could have on the surrounding world. Spider is good for that. Along the same lines it's one of the reasons I liked "The One Within The Villainess"; (Which I've realized is basically Isekai Columbo, the question is not "will she get her revenge?" but "How will her revenge unfold?") is because the antagonist does a bunch of generic Isekai protagonist things, and they all end up backfiring, because it turns out crop rotation is actually kind of hard to implement if you don't know what nitrogen fixation is.

>>96125115
NTA, but Rising of the Shield Hero deconstructs a lot of common isekai elements, and the fourth season of the anime just released.

>>96057979

>>96136565
Um acktchually he can shatter the planet by wiggling long enough

>>96136648
it's not, it seems that way beause the hack job gets an anime adaptation years before the ones that brought new stuff. But it isn't a deconstruction, it's entirely straight, it thinks it's been super smart and you can tell because it just keeps going arc to arc with the confidence of a retard with a gold star in his chest.

>>96138505
It's more that it was one of those isekai works that got in right before the genre exploded in popularity, so it preceded a lot of trends and most of its "deconstructions" are just taking scumbag actions to their logical extent. Like the iconic "isekai hero buys a slave" thing wasn't quite in vogue, so the shield hero buying a child slave to force them to kill monsters on his behalf was presented as an absolutely morally monstrous but necessary move given he had no allies and almost got mugged by other adventurers. Or when the shield hero is kicked out of the castle because he has a "sucky power", his constant antagonism of the nobility gets him in as much shit as it does earn him points with the peasants since unlike other stories, he doesn't have the option to skip town and start a new life in another country and has to live with his shitty rep that only gets worse as he increasingly isolates himself from anyone who could help him out of paranoia until a deus ex machina forces him to shape the fuck up.

Though I blame the fact the anime excises a lot of what we see in the shield hero's head in order to maintain run time. It's like with Overlord and The Saga Of Tanya the Evil, those were partially comedies since we got a far closer glimpse into the fact they had next to zero fucking idea what they were doing and winging everything. Same with Shield Hero, the original work depicted him as an embittered ruthless bastard who causes as many problems as he solved because he repeatedly antagonizes people he shouldn't and more than a chunk of his actions that friends interpret as altruistic are for selfish or stupid reasons. And more importantly, he recognizes shit like slavery and blackmail are still appalling even in another world, and he rarely pretends he has any moral highhorse to sit on when lecturing others.

But tl;dr you're right, it's not a deconstruction, it just did shit that later works would copy without thinking.

>>96138638

in the first arc
It's like saying DBZ is about a little kid and a teen girl searching for magic balls to grant her a bf. Shield Hero has that at the start and gives up on it extra fast.

Still, it came out like 5 years before Arifureta, and even then zamaa took a couple more years to become a common tag. It was clearly a selling point, but it didn't know where to go so it gave up on it. You can't say it's a deconstruction when it goes to a standard plot after arc 1, it just had a gimmick start crushed by narou comments.

>>96138698
I'm mostly agreeing with you man, I'm saying most of the shit people claim is a "deconstruction" only exists in hindsight. Just like how the whole "unfairly kicked by the party" thing that "Banished From The Hero's Party" did wasn't any kind of deconstruction of the concept, it was just one of the first to bother exploring it beyond the surface level.

>It's like saying DBZ is about a little kid and a teen girl searching for magic balls to grant her a bf. Shield Hero has that at the start and gives up on it extra fast.
I mean, you're right, but much like Spider-Man started out as a teenager at some point and FF7 was about a bunch of eco-terrorists fighting a corporation, it was still a significant chunk of the narrative at some point. It just changed into something far shittier and blander later on. But that doesn't erase that at one point it was about a scumbag asshole eking out a living on the dregs of society while still being tasked to save the world.

>>96034035 (OP)

If you want decent isekai, you should look for time travel or alt-history stuff. Similar "stranger in a strange land" feel without most of the OP power fantasy (it still has some of it, but usually people realize supplies are limited and valuable future shit runs out within a volume or two).

The 12 Kingdoms is the only isekai I found nothing objectionable about. The author Fuyumi Ono only did horror light novels at first, so she isn't bound by genre expectations and tropes and it's a breath of fresh air, honestly.
You know it's worth a look when the anime adaptation makes isekai fans whinge about how "unrelatable" the main character Youko is because she actually suffers from being spirited away to an alien world.

How do you give Isekai protagonists abilities that are strong, but not so overpowered that it makes things too easy for them/removes too much of the tension, where’s the balance, and what are some Isekai settings that do a good job of it?

>>96156115
None of them, it's all wish fulfillment power fantasy for people that never have and never will have any power in real life. Why do you think the MC is always an average looking Japanese teenager?

To over-simply it, it's not the abilities themselves that are the issue, it's the progression of strength and capability that get thrown out of whack that make it an issue at all.

>Over Limit Skill Holder: Despite having overpowered skills off the bat, the story emphasizes that his status as a child hinders his effectiveness, so more emphasis is placed on him at least initially in learning from others how to take care of himself and best utilize his talents
>I am a Spider, So What?: Already mentioned in the thread, but one of the better ones because it actually goes into detail on the intricacies of the skill and leveling system, and for a notable chunk of the story the spider main character is struggling to keep pace with the challenges ahead, and even afterwards is still not quite the top dog in the world
>Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash: Basically the linear warriors in the equation, more of a story of hardship and survival than a power fantasy, still handles strength progression far better

There, five very different ones to give a shot. I'll admit it's been a while since I read some of these, so I could be misremembering how well they did the power scaling, but those are at least some candidates to consider.

Besides Rising of the Shield Hero, what are some Isekais that deconstruct the concept, and how would you use said deconstruction in your own worlds/campaigns?

>>96161218
Deconstruct what aspect? Cause honestly, most stories that attempt a "deconstruction" don't really delve into inspecting the idea so much as remove the power-fantasy blinders and let things go to their logical conclusion. Like how "No longer allowed in another world" makes it clear that forcibly dragging suicidal and depressed losers to your world and demanding they become your saviors DOESN'T make them any less suicidal or depressed losers, and that if you tell them that their powers make them special and promise them happiness in this world, then they're going to aim for that even if it means taking their "happiness" by force.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

>what are the expected "overpowered bullshit" powers for the PCs?
Awareness of monster tropes that aren't common knowledge in-universe.
>Which overpowered bullshit protagonist powers are your favorites?
Subaru's Return by Death

>>96152281
>You know it's worth a look when the anime adaptation makes isekai fans whinge about how "unrelatable" the main character Youko is because she actually suffers from being spirited away to an alien world.
Because most isekai fans would be the other loser

>>96152281
I'd love to hear more about it and what it does well.

I still haven't gotten into popadantsy and I'm afraid to. Do they have the Jap power wank too, or are they more like usual men with protagonist/plot armor and future Soviet/Russian tech/knowledge?

Has isekai really regressed into "in bidya game world but with meta knowledge"?

>>96174827
>regressed
It STARTED that way and went downhill from there.

>>96174944
Escaflowne, El hazard... Depends on when you think it began I guess. And for one of the big things behind the current isekai wave Sword Art Online was just straight up in a video game.

>>96174944
>It STARTED
Isekai as a concept is old, as several anime and even books mentioned here show
Even the game stuff is old, but SAO is when it became both a "genre" and shit

>>96174963

What are you talking about?

Yeah but they're all still automobiles. You can't nuance that fundamental truth about them away.
