  • Laid Back Camp - Exactly what it says on the tin
  • Supercub - Schoolgirl gets a little motorscooter and it expands her world
  • Restaurant to Another World - Restaurant Isekais once a week and then cooks the locals food
  • K-On! - High school girl joins a band
  • My Roommate is a Cat - Lonely writer adopts a cat/cat adopts a human
  • Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid - A little wilder than some of the other ones here, but still quite cozy

These are ones I've seen and would recommend

    OMG, I literally cannot with this series.

    Murder Sister has been unreasonably homicidal this entire time. She routinely ignores every single piece of evidence that might vindicate Lily. But then she discovers that the “Lily killed us” note is fake, and instead of going, “Well, that doesn't actually prove anything,” she apparently just flips the murder switch OFF and becomes a perfectly reasonable party member.

    And the show doesn't even give us a moment to process that character assassination in reverse before immediately launching into slapstick comedy.

    Oh, and apparently years of trauma for Blue-haired Assassin can be cured by Rein talking to them in their sleep. Who knew therapy was that easy? Same for Lily who somehow magically is all better now despite nothing happening.

    My neck is sore from all the whiplash. I think this series needs to pick a freaking lane.

    It’s just all over the place

    Yeah, this show is genuinely baffling. Literally nothing makes sense.

    • The show's plot is basically "fire people for the lols... oh no, consequences... blame Rein anyway."
    • Rein is an absolute idiot in every way
    • The original guild is completely irredeemable in every way
    • Murder Sister is unreasonably nuts. She practically sees the entire party go "We need the HARDEST quest ever!" and then Lily, the strongest member of the party, comes back in a full body cast and she's like "Yeah, you definitely ran away and left my sister to die."
    • Murder sister has a million chances to murder Lily but doesn't because... plot.
    • Lily is... comic relief or something?
    • Random murders everywhere with absolutely no consequences

    I just don't get it. We're definitely going to find out that OG Sister sacrificed herself to save Lily when Lily was going to sacrifice herself instead or something.

    Okay, so this episode actually felt like it went at a normal pace. Which kind of sucks because if they had done the entire guildmaster bit before the juxtaposition between Elymas' initial trepidation and her cute freakouts would have been that much better.

    But I have to say... WTF IS THAT PREVIEW?! WE ARE GETTING FILLER NEXT EPISODE!

    Fishing does NOT happen in the manga. Ruche never thinks they're going on a date. There's 162 chapters of material available and this episode just ended chapter 45 and they're DOING FILLER?!

    I hate this studio so much...

    What a craptastic episode where absolutely nothing happened.

    They left the dungeon and went to the guild.

    That's it.

    In the manga, this entire sequence is all of two chapters. 28 pages. And Ruche only spent two panels freaking out over the dagger instead of half the episode.

    What bothers me the most about the whole Margaret thing is that her sister's party purposely picked the most difficult quest they could find and only the S-rank made it back albeit in a full body cast and her only reaction is "you fled and left my sister to die" as if she wasn't near death herself or that her sister wasn't complacent in the whole thing. And the amnesia is also overly suspicious.

    I bet the party all gave their lives so at least one of them could escape.

    I feel like Rein has to himself be comically obtuse in order to justify having supported such an evil guild.

    Yeah, the guild is comically evil. Not just "we're kind of bullies" or "there are a few bad apples" but "All 500+ members are completely irredeemable."

    Did it occur to no one at his ex-guild that he might cancel his enchantments?

    I'm guessing they thought he was doing normal enchanting, not "putting points into items" which apparently is the OP cheat skill.

    Why would they not have killed him instead of kicking him out?

    The intro was basically "fire people for the lolz" so it wasn't exactly dripping with logic.

    Also I felt somewhat appalled that he had no idea how his enchantment worked and that it was a huge surprise to him that his overpowered equipment turned to dust. Did no one in his guild have their equipment turn to dust?

    I mean, he was stuck inside the entire time. And he was enchanting other people's gear with a half-dozen points at most so their items weren't going to crumble after two swings.

    The whole anime is a completely absurd premise with obtuse logic, but I'm hoping they actually make it pay off without it becoming generic nonsense.

    Okay, I didn't think I'd enjoy this, but I absolutely love this show so far. Lorna is adorable and I love that the misunderstanding is that S is lower in the alphabet than A, therefore SSS-rank skills must be terrible. I also love that she gets all the good and the bad of the internet. And Elmina playing the straight man is perfect in this episode.

    One of the other really interesting things though is that Lorna appears to exist inside a video game and the internet exists outside the video game. I suspect that all the 16-bit game animation stuff is her real world. I mean, even the map she finds of the Woods in EP1 seems like something you'd see in a SNES game and not real life. It makes me wonder where they plan to go with the story, especially since she seems to have already acquired the hidden end-game secret loot.

    Just started this one and I'm definitely enjoying it. Has hardcore space sim vibes and I love that he's living in this amazing universe and is just like "Man... no soda..."

    ... Because I would 100% be the exact same.

    Also, Elma crashing her ship into the Lieutenant's cruiser was too funny. I was wondering how they were going to get her onto Hiro's crew seeing as how you caught a glimpse of the future in Ep 1.

    Yeah, that's the feeling I get too. To me it's like Konosuba meets SLF. I like that the MC is just mediocre instead of some legendary gamer though. Gives it some unique appeal, but definitely teetering on "this is trash" vibes.

    All the quests, classes and items are “legendary”, yet they pop everywhere every day.

    I think it's more that they just happen to pop up around the MC because of his unique status. Besides, Bofuri did the same thing with the devs going "oh no, Maple found a quest that gave her an OP ability and now she's even more OP... what will we do?" and I still enjoyed the hell out of that.

  • I'm writing a LN! (ani.social)
     

    Hey Bookworms! So... I've sorta been writing my own LN. It's an isekai with some LitRPG elements without turning into spreadsheet porn.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EIrE-NY4ivUcPvoLtGHfuVZrRXARKiHx/view?usp=sharing

    I'm maybe 1/5th of the way done with book one but I'm starting to get those nagging brainworms.

    You know, like, "Ugh, what am I even doing. Is anyone even going to enjoy this?"

    My IRL friends don't read much and even if they do they don't read isekai and don't understand the tropes (eg. "Hey, why isn't this guy freaking out 24/7 about being in another world?")

    So... plz read my book and tell me what you think? uwu

    Title is WIP. Most everything else is not, although I might tweak a few things later. And yes, this book cover is AI... I absolutely will NOT use AI for the final version but I wanted something to keep my mind focused.
