Cross-posted from “What’s up with the isekai genre? Are there any good isekais out there?” by @[email protected] in [email protected]

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.

    There are good isekai, but it’s littered with slop. Some I enjoyed:

    1. Re:Zero
    2. Konosuba
    3. Ascendance of a Bookworm
    4. My Next Life As A Villainess: All Routes Lead To Doom
    5. No Game No Life (though note that it’s been a looong time since I’ve seen that one…)
    6. Youjo Senki
    7. Overlord
    8. Re:Creators (mostly interesting because it’s a reverse isekai, but has lots of boring exposition)
