this isekai could've been an entirely independent fantasy setting
#that's my main issue with the vast majority of isekai#they're not isekai for any other reason than ease of access to the isekai bandwagon's established fanbase#they're soulless and desperate for attention#and being an isekai doesn't add anything to these stories/settings#and even worse it's often a *detriment* to these stories/settings#not every story needs to Say Something or be Deep or even be Good. but fuck at LEAST be Genuine??#you're picking these isekai building blocks and then...not building with them??#you're just slapdashing shit in there without engaging with the genre you're using the label of#why!!#it's all so boring and over saturated and copy paste#its so rare to find an isekai actually invested in BEING an isekai and playing with those building blocks#like. isekai can be so interesting and cool if you're just. genuine about what you're making#sighs#this can apply to basically anything you can create btw but isekai provides a stunningly clear and unfortunately abundant example this shit#regressor and transmigration plotlines are also suffering from this#but isekai was The Pioneer into the abyss here#TLDR if you're not gonna engage with it being an isekai why not make it into an original fantasy setting?? that is doing it's own thing??#that would be so much more like. interesting and authentic. but noooo#beso babbles
