Real time, running in parallel with earth

Soo... like SAO, does that count?

Probs not, I’d guess...

no

it's different from SAO

body, mind, and soul are converted into digital data by hacking into the computer on the moon called Moon Cell, which runs the virtual world of SE. RA. PH.

because that's the only way now to use magic

due to an alternative timeline of fsn where magic on earth was destroyed

Oh hey! That’s just the information I’m looking for! Thanks for explaining it to me.

Simple enough to understand, yet with enough details.

a good example of isekai would be Konosuba.

Yup, yup.

reddit:zero, overlord, youjo senki

the list goes on

all isekai

I've seen people who have started to label any high-fantasy genera as isekai

Those people are retarded. But the fantasy genre is over saturated with it

Well, it's a pretty cheap and easy way to handwave excess exposition away

The main character is basically an adult baby, so of course they need everything spoonfed to them. It's a happy coincidence that the viewer is along for the ride for the expositing

So if your world is kinda dumb and you're bad at showing instead of telling, it's a tempting way to cover up your flaws as a writer

Also, it plays on the existential anxiety of all the failures that enjoy them, including myself

Oh yeah, their gary stu-ness is "totally ok because they're from a different world so the rules are different"

the only concept I liked for being OP was the smartphone shit

It was cool when Superman did it 80(?) years ago, but it's a little overdone now

or no game no life where they were already OP as fuck

I accept ones like Overlord, since he was already a top tier guy

do we count SAO here or nah?

overlord is a great read

As an isekai? I'd say so

the adaptation is interesting

I hate mainline SAO tbh. gimme that midget with a p90

she's so fucking adorable

I wasn't a huge fan of sao, but it wasn't as bad as many people said

it wasn't bad per say

it was just meh

sebas is a top dad

I think people are used to big winners like fma, so when they get average they think it's shit

Sebas is the best

Shizu is best girl in light novels

I want to see demiurge do some shit soon
