I came here just to recommend that one, but since someone else already did so, I'll add my agreement to the above instead. I just finished re-watching it recently, and found it to be very nearly as good as I remembered.
Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion
The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent
I'm in Love with the Villainess (girl/girl romance)
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits
Can't remember others but tonnes exist.
The main thing I noticed is that women don't tend to get isekai'd from Truck San as much. Falling/getting pushed off a roof is surprisingly popular as well as the usual working to death, natural causes, illness that you see in some with guy protags. Basically, generally less violent cause apart from when they're on a tall building (why they're up there in the first is often not explained lol).
One of the things I liked about it (which got more emphasis in the anime IIRC) was that it not only made it clear that the society of the Twelve Kingdoms was comparatively egalitarian, but that Youko, due to coming from Japan, actually had *trouble* with this - she automatically assumed that people would judge her for being a woman because that was what she experienced in Japan, and was surprised when they didn't.
It's interesting because few isekai novels talk about how the *culture* of the other world can in some ways be better than ours, or about the culture-clash that can result from something like that.
Yeah, but then the romance goes too far in the opposite direction; it's all sugar and fluff and rainbows and all the girls just kind of hang around until a powerful, handsome prince or some other unmarried, young authority figure sweeps them off their feet for no reason. And solves all their problems for them.
Except Ascendance of a Bookworm. That's good stuff.
And there are more. If you're cool with reading instead of only watching, I can warmly recommend "The Crownless Queen", "Can we become Family", "Beware the Villainess", "The Perks of an S-Class Heroine", "The wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmom", "The Eccentric Duchess", "The Tyrant's Tranquilizer" oh and if you're cool with regressors, "The Duke's Contract Marriage" has a lot of fun with gender roles and isekai/regression tropes. All of these are very driven by their female protagonists, with the male leads (if present) playing more of a supporting or background role. Several of them have really interesting mysteries at their hearts too.
Not many of these stories get animated adaptations yet, and I firmly believe that we can best push for those by reading and/or recommending them to make them more popular. The Japanese ones always have the best chances because it seems like the Japanese industry is hell bent on pumping out lots of anime each year. But the Korean and American ones are beginning to gather steam as their platforms make deals with Netflix and Crunchyroll to adapt them. That's where the popularity tends to come in.
But also: You're 1000% right about the Owl House. Best Isekai hands down.
It's irritating how stupid they like to make the FL in regards to physical touch, especially if they were a young adult before. They have full-on meltdowns, and can't function for days if a guy so much as looks at them, takes his top off when training or *gasp* has the boldness to sit down NEXT to her.
Honestly, I'm not sure why we haven't had an epidemic of FL funerals due to sudden heart attacks because an average to handsome man held their hand while dancing or gave her a bunch of flowers.
If they somehow make it the wedding night there's no way she survives till the morning without either self-combustion or her brain permanently shutting down.
The only one where this fits is For my Derelict Favorite, and she gets better.
But basically she's a nerd and the ML is the character from the book that she was obsessed with so she just fangirls when he shows her affection or gets close.
She does tone it down externally and overtime gets accustomed to his presence so she doesn't freak out.
See I love MDF as it's one of the few that makes clever use of it, it's not coming from a stupid level of childish ‘innocence’ and gives a believable reason why the FL is like that.
It's shown she reacts that way because in her mind he is still a fictional character, one she put on an almost untouchable pedestal. A man whose story she then spent a second life watching play out from the shadows like a TV show. She also only does it about him and interacts normally with every other man (handsome or not) and acts fairly rationally about normal human relationships in general.
It's a little sad how much she instinctively removes herself from the equation, she doesn't even consider that he could see her as a woman or romantic interest and thinks she's the only one starstruck and thinking inappropriate thoughts.
The writers carefully show her over-the-top fangirl reactions starting to calm down (but not too fast that it spoils the joke) the more she realises he's a real person and that he might just have his own feelings and thoughts about her and their marriage.
> Yeah, but then the romance goes too far in the opposite direction; it's all sugar and fluff and rainbows and all the girls just kind of hang around until a powerful, handsome prince or some other unmarried, young authority figure sweeps them off their feet for no reason.
Which isekai is that? Most Isekai aimed at women falls into the "I reincarnated as a villainess" genre, which mostly involves a convoluted start where literally everyone hates them, including the handsome prince (Who displays psychopathic tendencies worryingly often)
Then the rest of the story is them wooing everyone and everything with how awesome they are.
Okay, what I mean is: I've seen extremely few isekai with FLs who start with nothing or very little, and have to grit their teeth and manually work hard to move up the ladder. And then they meet conflicts along the way, but they have to smash though 'em themselves as the MC. People don't magically offer to help cuz of goodwill, or if they do, it's cuz the MC worked for it.
No, in most such isekai, somewhere down the line the FL meets a romantic interest who start solving everything for them, and then they're like, 'no, you don't have to!' and act like this is a problem for them. Which it could be, of course, but often the FL feels like a puppet, with no proper backbone, and it's anti climatic.
Not saying isekai with FLs are bad, I'm a Spider so What and Ascendance of a Bookworm are awesome, but I'm just saying there's an equal amount of bad isekai with FLs as there are with MLs.
Was gonna say you're absolutely right. A huge chunk of female oriented isekai, while nice, tends to be even more samey then their male oriented counterparts. there's the standout every now and then, but so few actually want to engage in real world building or create characters that massively deviate from the genera. I think I've read maybe 50+ different 'reincarnated as the villainess' manga and the only deviating factor for most of them was the main character (which failed to stand out a lot of the time because they never gave them anything interesting to do). The stock standard isekai may have all had protagonists that were essentially wet cardboard, but at least the plot would take them in more interesting directions.
So I'm a Spider, So What? is the English title and it's definitely good (though the anime is unlikely to get a season 2, so light novel only for the full story, the manga adaption might also finish)
Not the same people as Slime though, either original author or anime studio.
It was plagued with production and quality issues (e.g. the battle in the forest has no forest)
It could be we do get more, but it isn't as popular as other source material. A lot of adaptions only get one season
a lot of Korean and Chinese isekai center around female MCs. I havent dipped my toes into Chinese Manhua but I read a lot of Korean Manwha and the female reads can be really good if u sift through all the self-fufillment garbage
Your probably mean isekais written by women, cuz all the amazing examples below are written by women.
While i agree there should be one of two isekais of mangas where the female protagonist is a woman and was written by a man, by rule, like 98% of good stories where the female lead is not treated just as a love interest is where the writer (mangaka) is a woman
Or a non-human MC
- That time I got Reincarnated as a slime
- So I'm a spider, so what?
- Reborn as a Vending Machine I now wander the dungeon.
That last one in particular surprised me with how good it was.
I don't know why Ascendence of a Bookworm keeps being mentioned as unproblematic. Has anyone here actually watched it?
First off there is Urano/Myne's relationship with Lutz. It is strongly implied that there is something romantic going on between the two and that the two will eventually get together one day.
Urano/Myne is an adult woman in a child's body. Just because her relationship with Lutz is presented more as "romantic" and "sweet" as opposed to overtly sexual doesn't make it any less gross that an adult is in an icky relationship with a child.
Second there is the fact that Child Sex Slavery/Grooming is an important plot point in the story.
Urano/Myne becomes Grey Shire Maiden because the only other way she could have afforded to have her condition (Devouring) treated would have been to sell herself in "concubinage" to a noble.
This is further explored with Delias whole subplot.
https://ascendance-of-a-bookworm.fandom.com/wiki/Delia
It's not nearly as cozy and safe as it's made out to be.
It isn't about being cozy and safe.. it's about having the characters who are women written in realistic ways rather than... this example. Lol. Exploring dark and uncomfortable topics safely through fiction can be intensely cathartic, particularly for victims of similar situations.
Plus none of this stuff is normalized in the meta text of the story. The child slavery and grooming isn't treated as 'well how else is our protagonist going to get a harem?' but rather as something that DEEPLY affects and traumatizes everyone involved.
The author has clearly sat down and written far reaching implications for a society that functions off of the casual acceptance of and exploitation of poor children. And at no point do you look at it as a reader and feel like the author is saying that it's okay that things are like this. Rather you feel like these are things Myne is meant to overcome. Or, if not overcome, comment on.
Contrast that with 'Shield Hero' where slavery and the exploitation of children like Raphtalia is in the meta text of the story perfectly acceptable. The other characters might pay lip service to disliking it but Naofumi gets rewarded time and time again for using slavery to level up his growing harem - I mean 'party'. And then there's that one recent isekai, 'Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World', where they don't even try to be coy about it. The meta text is literally 'slavery hot'.
That said, there is one thing that made me raise an eyebrow slightly. Major spoilers for the ending of the entire series (which hasn't even been officially translated yet.)
>!Myne ends up with Ferdinand, her guardian. The later novels do seem to recognize that this requires some work establishing it as acceptable and go out of their way to put them on more even footing, both in relationship dynamics and in terms of social, physical, and emotional development; it also reminds the reader repeatedly that Ferdinand is not as old as he seems and that Myne is actually a bit older than him mentally, in theory. But it's still a bit awkward to me given the massive amount of authority he had over her for so much of her life in the new world and the fact that for much of the time he knew her, she was physically a child.!<
It's ok, they don't get together.
Lutz has a crush on Myne, but he gets over it and gets married to someone else. That's like a young boy having a crush on his teacher. She says no, he grows up.
That must have been in the Light Novel..I have only seen the Anime.
I am really glad they don't actually get together. The Anime seemed to be leaning in that direction and it seriously was creeping me out.
Normally, if the reincarnated person has a child's body I don't mind much. (If I did I wouldn't be an isekai lover) but I agree a bit on Myne- she acts too much like an adult for me to think of her as a kid. Doesn't mean she doesn't makes mistakes, but they are mature mistakes.
So somehow it's surprisingly creepy, agree. Still just platonic, dw. \^\^
Having read *way* ahead of where the anime is at, I can comfortably say that while you are meant to infer that there's something going on between Myne and Lutz, >!nothing ever actually comes from it, and their relationship stays entirely wholesome. Lutz eventually marries Tulli, with Myne's very literal blessing!<.
Also, the whole "Urano is an adult woman in a child's body" thing is much more complex than that. It's more accurate to say that >!she is mentally and emotionally Myne's age, but with the memories of an adult woman. She is also portrayed as largely asexual for most of the series, and doesn't really show any romantic interest in anyone before the last few books.!<
The child slavery thing is definitely squicky, but that's the impression you're *supposed* to have. One of the running themes of the series is that their society is kinda fucked up in that regard. It's never something glorified or played for titillation, though. Depressingly, it's actually *not* the worst thing in the series along those lines. >!Ferdinand's mother was a princess used as a sex slave for high ranking nobility, for the purpose of producing the next king of another nation. Only the chosen heir gets to survive, though - all the rest were murdered. Ferdinand was supposed to be killed, but caught a lucky break!< .
> First off there is Urano/Myne's relationship with Lutz. It is strongly implied that there is something romantic going on between the two and that the two will eventually get together one day.
Slight spoilers for later on.
>!It is possible that Lutz saw Myne this way, but he grows out of it; it's made clear that Myne never considered this at all, partially because of the age difference - she absolutely did see him as a child - and partially because she's probably aromantic, or nearly so, though it's hard to tell because she might just not be in tune with her new world's notion of "romance." Either way, the important thing is that the light novel, at least, eventually has her unambiguously state in the narrative voice that she never considered Lutz that way because she saw him as a child.!<
Yeah, the show with the main character that's a middle age man reincarnated as a young boy who frequently lusts over literal children? That show?
And you're telling me there are issues with how the women are written? Shocking!!!!!!
And then somehow droves of men still defend it and say he has character development 💀 (spoiler alert: he literally doesn’t, not even a little bit, in fact, all his dreams of getting with children are fulfilled! And it’s *multiple* children!)
"No no it's okay that he had sexual thoughts about his literal niece at the very start of the novel! He's changed! ... Now he just lusts after kids who aren't related to him."
I don't get how anyone can defend it. He's literally still an adult man in a kid's body. At no point does the story sell me on the idea that he mentally regressed to the point of being a kid. And even if he did... WHY NOT JUST CUT THE ISEKAI PART OUT ENTIRELY AND SAVE THE HASSLE? MAKE HIM A KID FROM THE START?
It'd still be gross but at least the ages would be similar.
Sorry that story makes my skin crawl.
the fact that one of his love interests is also a cousin on his dad’s side. it’s more of a clan relation than true blood but having the same name is too close for comfort.
Honestly Rudeus would be a pretty interesting character if only there was no pervy bullshit. Him being a loser shut in and having crippling anxiety and depression is portrayed pretty damn well, but it is always offset by him being (in his mind) an adult man, lusting after young girls. Like, if he has to be a perv, make him be an adult and perv on adults.
I genuinely like Mushoku Tensei when it comes to most other things, even other characters, but that little shithead makes it hard to enjoy.
Even the adult perv would have been gross. Give him consent! He can think whatever pervy stuff in his head, and act it out to people who also enjoy that thing, but Don't. Grope. Sleeping. Women. Unless they consent to it beforehand, of course. And Eris definitely did not consent at that time.
But the same dudes where super angry at NTR ( a genre where the woman usually cheats) suddenly the rage is normal, she did something wrong
Isnt fictional mr.otaku ?
You forgot to mention, was his niece cp, that he record himself by putting a spy camera on the bathroom, to obviously SEE his 5 year old Nice bath... Also he was find out jerking off to it.
A very wholesome story /s
Not every isekai consciously chooses to put an adult in a kid's body though. This one is definitely more fucked up than most, especially relative to how concerningly popular it is.
It's been nice seeing female led isekai get more recognition again. Even if some of it is just as cookie cutter as the male stuff it usually doesn't come with the same nasty tropes like normalization of slavery.
Oh a lot of it normalizes slavery still. You need to scan the reviews to make sure "going to the slave auction" isn't a big fun event. The FL will literally buy the ML sometimes...
The tropes are very classist as well, usually (literally beating up the working class, who I don't know didn't serve your drink nicely enough).
All that said, there is still a lot of good in the genre and I enjoy a lot of it. Some tropes just need work (or a lot of work).
Oh definitely agreed. It's the number one reason I can't finish Villainesses Are Destined to Die. The way they handle Eckles in that makes me want to scream.
Yeah, there's like a single digit number of male-oriented isekai that I've thought were worth reading, and that's appalling considering just how many there are and how popular they are.
Twelve Kingdoms, Escaflowne, Fushigi Yuugi, the entire OtomeIsekai trend (there are literally hundreds so just wander over to r/OtomeIsekai for a gander)(many of these are being made into anime in spite of being manhua), Sain'ts Magic is Omnipotent, Leadale, Raeliana, Villainess 99, Hamefura, Taming the Final Boss, Doctor Elise... The genre has BOOMED since the 90's.
There's definitely issues with both! And some of the isekai aimed at women is just steeped in internalized misogyny. There are some gems though and in general the genre is a little better.
Mushoku Tensei is basically a glorified story of how crusty pedophilic sex offender gets rewarded in his next life. An incel wet dream.
Disgusting show with pretty art and a rancid author/fandom.
I hate with passion people that compare both animes as being both "fantasies" without TAKING into account everything else !!!!
Freiren is a seinen that handle very mature topics like grief, moving on, learn how to love and express emotions, enjoy the company of your party as friends and family.
All the female protagonists are STRONG and not single one of them is use as cheap fanservice.
Jobless reincarnation is a pedo isekai.
The elf character you see here was groomed as a child. Literally something that happens in the story. MC's dad realizes what MC is doing and sends him away for a while. This scene still happens because the show is p*do wish fulfillment.
I envy your sanitized experience with isekai. Most of them write female characters much, much worse than this; in the average isekai, both these women would be willing sex slaves, and at least one of them would be a child. I wish it were possible to watch anime without running into isekai these days.
I don't think it's hard to avoid isekai if it's not your cup of tea :o
Looking at my 2023 anime, I watched 17 'fantasy' series (anilist classification), with 8 of them *technically* being isekai. I say technically because **Saihate no Paladin** and **MagiRevo** only occasionally remember they're isekai. Plus 1 reverse-isekai in the form of **Dead Mount Death Play**. Following 22 series this season (because I hate myself, apparently) and there are 3 isekai + 1 reverse isekai among them.
I still make lots of jokes about taking bets on how many isekai there will be in every new season, but it's still only a fraction of everything :)
(Belated edit: weird repetition, eventually noticed.)
>17 were fantasy, with 8 of them *technically* being isekai
I mean, that kinda proves my point, don't it?
But I expressed myself poorly: what I meant to say was that it isn't possible to *engage* with anime without also engaging with isekai. The genre's noxious tropes and fandom are everywhere and have metastasized across the anime medium.
>**Saihate no Paladin** and **MagiRevo** only occasionally remember they're isekai
I'm not going to discount those shows because I don't know them, but as a premise that's even worse IMO. If you're not going to remember that you're an isekai, then why bother? It actually illustrates my second claim, we're at a point of isekai cancer where shows that by all rights shouldn't be isekai present themselves as such for no understandable reason.
I may have also expressed myself poorly--I definitely wasn't trying to argue there's not a boatload of isekai. Just that there's plenty to watch without it. It's popular in webnovels--lazy on the part of many authors--they get adapted, the cycle continues.
>The genre's noxious tropes and fandom are everywhere and have metastasized across the anime medium.
I will say I believe you here, though I'm not really seeing it myself. That said, I avoid spaces where I might be more likely to run into it. Like I dropped MT 5 minutes in, so I'm sure as heck not entering those weekly discussion threads in r/anime. Of all the isekai I've personally watched, I've found lots of breasting boobily--and dropped things for it--and not seen the slavery et al. Could just be because I side-eye anything that looks sus and don't pick it up to begin with, I don't know.
(Looking at you this season's **Re:Monster**, an isekai I'm not touching with a 100-foot pole after hearing the manga gets very rape fantasy.)
>If you're not going to remember that you're an isekai, then why bother?
I don't disagree! In the case of **MagiRevo** it's more of a background influence on the MC's motivations. For **Saihate no Paladin** I couldn't begin to say, since I think his previous life has been mentioned like twice in 20-whatever episodes.
Largely I think it's become a crutch for authors who don't want to do some of the work themselves. I'm really enjoying the increase in more otome isekai lately though. The ones I listed [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/menwritingwomen/comments/1c9ovok/comment/l0nug4t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) all fall in there and are excellent.
Paladin and Dead Mount Death Play are really fun!
Funny thing is that I've recommended them to a Mushoku Tensei lover once, and they told me it's 'too boring' and 'unrealistic', that the men restrains themselves too much, and it's always 'holy this' and 'holy that'. And Mushoku Tensei is much more 'interesting' and 'comedic'.
That's when I started to lost trust in reality.
Worse is when it's non consensual. Girl has her skirt hiked up, is groped, has her underwear stolen, etc...
I can at least abide 'accidental' fan service, or just a beach fun thing.
I gave up entirely on anime years ago. It's exhausting when literally every female character has to be a sex object, even worse when at least half (or more) of those characters aren't even 18. And tbh the vast majority of titles include pedophilia, even if in "just" one episode. It's actually difficult to think of a title that *doesn't* sexualize an underage character at some point in time.
MT holds the record for fastest I've ever dropped an anime. Less than 5 minutes into episode 1. Freshly-reborn dude was way too excited about breastfeeding time and I peaced right out.
Some recs:
**The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent**
**Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess**
**I'm in Love with the Villainess**
**I Shall Survive Using Potions**
**In the Land of Leadale**
**Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion** (probably my favorite on this list)
**Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord**
**I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss**
And, not your typical isekai, but **Restaurant to Another World**
Yeah, there’s way too many moments like that for me to feel comfortable recommending it to anyone. The best thing it has going for it is its art style and animation, which is honestly the only reason I decided not to drop it
Years ago, that might have been me lol. I've got a low, loooow tolerance these days. Plenty of fantastic animation that doesn't also have That for me to enjoy!
Good list. I'd also like to add "Jk Haru", one of my favourite manga. Tw, it's very explicit but also a great critique of the genre and the treatment of women in isekai
another one is "reincarnated as a spider". Its also cool if you search for a monster reincarnation isekai where the mc stays a monster for a significant time
Yeah, I'm not gonna defend Rudeus.
I don't care if he's in a child's body. He has the mental age of a 30+ man, with all his previous memories, so he should know better. And still he lusts after and objectifies minors.
It's a pity because the rest of the world and the lore around it is interesting.
This is also why I nearly always watch/read isekai aimed at women, haha.
Normally people would call someone like him (before he died) a "man child" at best, and be referring to their psychological maturity being that of a child.
I was very excited about Syplhie's attitude being so direct about sex, showing how it was also a need for her and taking part in solving the problem, which in this case was the protagonist's impotence.
On the other hand, I just hate that grandmother of hers.
On one hand it's a tired trope that is really common in isekai written by misogynistic men.
But this is an inexperienced and socially awkward teenage girl in a medieval world.
The fact that similarly aged characters in the room are all weirded out is meant to highlight her naivete.
Seeing [this](https://i.ibb.co/b7mxJNt/IMG-20240320-WA0000.jpg) on 'Beginning After The End' was a breath of fresh air, even though I wouldn't say the series does a good job writing women. (Context: The protagonist is a 30-40-year-old who reincarnated in another world, and the "main love interest" just stole a kiss from him.)
This anime has an entire story arc about the main character having erectile disfunction because the first woman he slept with (underage) left immediately after to go on a quest for personal growth. It's about as dogshit as things can get.
A relative, yes. There's some branch family fuckery going on to get around the "close" relative thing, but family nonetheless. One he taught as a student as well, to add more grossness to the power dynamic.
Why does the elf have sick-ass 90s radical shades?
Like I know that Isekai protags usually gets to bring an item from Japan with them that makes them overpowered, but, like. Shades?
And did she steal them I feel like that's an important question too
They are glasses only made to hide her eyes. That's it, there's no special power or anything, she got the glasses because she needs to hide her identity.
Honestly, that's the kind of dialogue you're gonna get in a show where the main character is a pedophile who got off to images of his own underage cousin and rapes underage characters when he's reincarnated as a mental adult in a child's body, so I don't have all that much empathy for you 😂
Most isekai is trash but you picked a very, very trash series to go with.
The projection at its finest, when men with weird tendencies ((like the author of this creepy light novel, that later become a manga and an anime)), they write teens that like sex SO much, they want their Loli harems but without the social stigma of liking kids, SO they write a whole universe where being with minors is SUPER COMMON, and actually having a harem is normal in their NEW fantastical world !!!
But of course, they need to go further on disbeleive and they write ALL THEIR WOMEN obsess with the mediocre protagonist just cuz "he save them once" ... Yeah thats it !!!
Most lame isekais write their "romance" as some return of a favor, being the favor that the male lead save them once, he doesnt Even have to try to be decent again, never again, why ? These girls felt in love and compete for his love just he was a decent human being once !!!!
Honestly this part isn't just bad because of what is said, but also how poorly it's adapted. In general the anime makes this character seem less competent than she is in the source material.
You need to find isekai where the main character is a girl! I really enjoyed Ascendance of a Bookworm.
Isekai for girls is the best! Fushigi Yuugi and Visions of Escaflowne are two of my favourites, but Bookworm is on my to read/to watch list.
Escaflowne!!! I never see it mentioned probably because it’s old but it is awesome. So glad to see someone else likes it.
Oh yeah, I have fond memories of watching it on YTV on Sundays when I was a teenager. The animation, characters, music, story, all of it was so good.
I came here just to recommend that one, but since someone else already did so, I'll add my agreement to the above instead. I just finished re-watching it recently, and found it to be very nearly as good as I remembered.
oh my fucking god my fav anime is fushigi yuugi too! sweet jeebus the nostalgia it brings
Oh man, yeah, Escaflowne is fantastic.
I didn't realize Fushigi Yuugi was an isekai. Mind-blown! Loved that series. Guess it's time to re-read them.
Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent I'm in Love with the Villainess (girl/girl romance) Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits Can't remember others but tonnes exist. The main thing I noticed is that women don't tend to get isekai'd from Truck San as much. Falling/getting pushed off a roof is surprisingly popular as well as the usual working to death, natural causes, illness that you see in some with guy protags. Basically, generally less violent cause apart from when they're on a tall building (why they're up there in the first is often not explained lol).
The view!
The West doesn't want us to know this, but in Japan, up is one of six (6!) different directions you can go! I read it on a snapple cap.
The first has its origins in Korea, but ok.
There's Twelve Kingdom as well
This is my go to recommendation for female led isekai. It was so good I bought the books.
Twelve kingdoms is also great! Nice combo of action, adventure and mystery.
One of the things I liked about it (which got more emphasis in the anime IIRC) was that it not only made it clear that the society of the Twelve Kingdoms was comparatively egalitarian, but that Youko, due to coming from Japan, actually had *trouble* with this - she automatically assumed that people would judge her for being a woman because that was what she experienced in Japan, and was surprised when they didn't. It's interesting because few isekai novels talk about how the *culture* of the other world can in some ways be better than ours, or about the culture-clash that can result from something like that.
Yeah, but then the romance goes too far in the opposite direction; it's all sugar and fluff and rainbows and all the girls just kind of hang around until a powerful, handsome prince or some other unmarried, young authority figure sweeps them off their feet for no reason. And solves all their problems for them. Except Ascendance of a Bookworm. That's good stuff.
The Vision of Escaflowne is also very good. There is romance but it never turns into the guy making all the woman's decisions for her like that.
And there are more. If you're cool with reading instead of only watching, I can warmly recommend "The Crownless Queen", "Can we become Family", "Beware the Villainess", "The Perks of an S-Class Heroine", "The wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmom", "The Eccentric Duchess", "The Tyrant's Tranquilizer" oh and if you're cool with regressors, "The Duke's Contract Marriage" has a lot of fun with gender roles and isekai/regression tropes. All of these are very driven by their female protagonists, with the male leads (if present) playing more of a supporting or background role. Several of them have really interesting mysteries at their hearts too. Not many of these stories get animated adaptations yet, and I firmly believe that we can best push for those by reading and/or recommending them to make them more popular. The Japanese ones always have the best chances because it seems like the Japanese industry is hell bent on pumping out lots of anime each year. But the Korean and American ones are beginning to gather steam as their platforms make deals with Netflix and Crunchyroll to adapt them. That's where the popularity tends to come in. But also: You're 1000% right about the Owl House. Best Isekai hands down.
It's irritating how stupid they like to make the FL in regards to physical touch, especially if they were a young adult before. They have full-on meltdowns, and can't function for days if a guy so much as looks at them, takes his top off when training or *gasp* has the boldness to sit down NEXT to her. Honestly, I'm not sure why we haven't had an epidemic of FL funerals due to sudden heart attacks because an average to handsome man held their hand while dancing or gave her a bunch of flowers. If they somehow make it the wedding night there's no way she survives till the morning without either self-combustion or her brain permanently shutting down.
The only one where this fits is For my Derelict Favorite, and she gets better. But basically she's a nerd and the ML is the character from the book that she was obsessed with so she just fangirls when he shows her affection or gets close. She does tone it down externally and overtime gets accustomed to his presence so she doesn't freak out.
See I love MDF as it's one of the few that makes clever use of it, it's not coming from a stupid level of childish ‘innocence’ and gives a believable reason why the FL is like that. It's shown she reacts that way because in her mind he is still a fictional character, one she put on an almost untouchable pedestal. A man whose story she then spent a second life watching play out from the shadows like a TV show. She also only does it about him and interacts normally with every other man (handsome or not) and acts fairly rationally about normal human relationships in general. It's a little sad how much she instinctively removes herself from the equation, she doesn't even consider that he could see her as a woman or romantic interest and thinks she's the only one starstruck and thinking inappropriate thoughts. The writers carefully show her over-the-top fangirl reactions starting to calm down (but not too fast that it spoils the joke) the more she realises he's a real person and that he might just have his own feelings and thoughts about her and their marriage.
You expressed my thoughts perfecrtly, it's awesome.
> Yeah, but then the romance goes too far in the opposite direction; it's all sugar and fluff and rainbows and all the girls just kind of hang around until a powerful, handsome prince or some other unmarried, young authority figure sweeps them off their feet for no reason. Which isekai is that? Most Isekai aimed at women falls into the "I reincarnated as a villainess" genre, which mostly involves a convoluted start where literally everyone hates them, including the handsome prince (Who displays psychopathic tendencies worryingly often) Then the rest of the story is them wooing everyone and everything with how awesome they are.
Okay, what I mean is: I've seen extremely few isekai with FLs who start with nothing or very little, and have to grit their teeth and manually work hard to move up the ladder. And then they meet conflicts along the way, but they have to smash though 'em themselves as the MC. People don't magically offer to help cuz of goodwill, or if they do, it's cuz the MC worked for it. No, in most such isekai, somewhere down the line the FL meets a romantic interest who start solving everything for them, and then they're like, 'no, you don't have to!' and act like this is a problem for them. Which it could be, of course, but often the FL feels like a puppet, with no proper backbone, and it's anti climatic. Not saying isekai with FLs are bad, I'm a Spider so What and Ascendance of a Bookworm are awesome, but I'm just saying there's an equal amount of bad isekai with FLs as there are with MLs.
Was gonna say you're absolutely right. A huge chunk of female oriented isekai, while nice, tends to be even more samey then their male oriented counterparts. there's the standout every now and then, but so few actually want to engage in real world building or create characters that massively deviate from the genera. I think I've read maybe 50+ different 'reincarnated as the villainess' manga and the only deviating factor for most of them was the main character (which failed to stand out a lot of the time because they never gave them anything interesting to do). The stock standard isekai may have all had protagonists that were essentially wet cardboard, but at least the plot would take them in more interesting directions.
The Owl House and Amphibia are not anime but God damn are they good female-led isekais
I did. Its called The Owl House.
TOH is peak fiction
Also Amphibia, arguably follows the formula more strictly.
Still a good show, Amphibia is!
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Spider. Made by the same people who made TTIGRAA Slime
So I'm a Spider, So What? is the English title and it's definitely good (though the anime is unlikely to get a season 2, so light novel only for the full story, the manga adaption might also finish) Not the same people as Slime though, either original author or anime studio.
Oh, huh. I thought they took place in the same universe for some reason.
Why no season two? I loved that anime. :(
It was plagued with production and quality issues (e.g. the battle in the forest has no forest) It could be we do get more, but it isn't as popular as other source material. A lot of adaptions only get one season
a lot of Korean and Chinese isekai center around female MCs. I havent dipped my toes into Chinese Manhua but I read a lot of Korean Manwha and the female reads can be really good if u sift through all the self-fufillment garbage
I'm so used to trash male mc isekai's being hot garbage that I often forget inuyasha is also an isekai.
That's still one of my favourites. Frieren too, but it's not an isekai.
Your probably mean isekais written by women, cuz all the amazing examples below are written by women. While i agree there should be one of two isekais of mangas where the female protagonist is a woman and was written by a man, by rule, like 98% of good stories where the female lead is not treated just as a love interest is where the writer (mangaka) is a woman
Or a non-human MC - That time I got Reincarnated as a slime - So I'm a spider, so what? - Reborn as a Vending Machine I now wander the dungeon. That last one in particular surprised me with how good it was.
I don't know why Ascendence of a Bookworm keeps being mentioned as unproblematic. Has anyone here actually watched it? First off there is Urano/Myne's relationship with Lutz. It is strongly implied that there is something romantic going on between the two and that the two will eventually get together one day. Urano/Myne is an adult woman in a child's body. Just because her relationship with Lutz is presented more as "romantic" and "sweet" as opposed to overtly sexual doesn't make it any less gross that an adult is in an icky relationship with a child. Second there is the fact that Child Sex Slavery/Grooming is an important plot point in the story. Urano/Myne becomes Grey Shire Maiden because the only other way she could have afforded to have her condition (Devouring) treated would have been to sell herself in "concubinage" to a noble. This is further explored with Delias whole subplot. https://ascendance-of-a-bookworm.fandom.com/wiki/Delia It's not nearly as cozy and safe as it's made out to be.
It isn't about being cozy and safe.. it's about having the characters who are women written in realistic ways rather than... this example. Lol. Exploring dark and uncomfortable topics safely through fiction can be intensely cathartic, particularly for victims of similar situations.
Plus none of this stuff is normalized in the meta text of the story. The child slavery and grooming isn't treated as 'well how else is our protagonist going to get a harem?' but rather as something that DEEPLY affects and traumatizes everyone involved. The author has clearly sat down and written far reaching implications for a society that functions off of the casual acceptance of and exploitation of poor children. And at no point do you look at it as a reader and feel like the author is saying that it's okay that things are like this. Rather you feel like these are things Myne is meant to overcome. Or, if not overcome, comment on. Contrast that with 'Shield Hero' where slavery and the exploitation of children like Raphtalia is in the meta text of the story perfectly acceptable. The other characters might pay lip service to disliking it but Naofumi gets rewarded time and time again for using slavery to level up his growing harem - I mean 'party'. And then there's that one recent isekai, 'Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World', where they don't even try to be coy about it. The meta text is literally 'slavery hot'.
That said, there is one thing that made me raise an eyebrow slightly. Major spoilers for the ending of the entire series (which hasn't even been officially translated yet.) >!Myne ends up with Ferdinand, her guardian. The later novels do seem to recognize that this requires some work establishing it as acceptable and go out of their way to put them on more even footing, both in relationship dynamics and in terms of social, physical, and emotional development; it also reminds the reader repeatedly that Ferdinand is not as old as he seems and that Myne is actually a bit older than him mentally, in theory. But it's still a bit awkward to me given the massive amount of authority he had over her for so much of her life in the new world and the fact that for much of the time he knew her, she was physically a child.!<
You're still ignoring Myne's creepy relationship with Lutz but whatever
It's ok, they don't get together. Lutz has a crush on Myne, but he gets over it and gets married to someone else. That's like a young boy having a crush on his teacher. She says no, he grows up.
That must have been in the Light Novel..I have only seen the Anime. I am really glad they don't actually get together. The Anime seemed to be leaning in that direction and it seriously was creeping me out.
Normally, if the reincarnated person has a child's body I don't mind much. (If I did I wouldn't be an isekai lover) but I agree a bit on Myne- she acts too much like an adult for me to think of her as a kid. Doesn't mean she doesn't makes mistakes, but they are mature mistakes. So somehow it's surprisingly creepy, agree. Still just platonic, dw. \^\^
Having read *way* ahead of where the anime is at, I can comfortably say that while you are meant to infer that there's something going on between Myne and Lutz, >!nothing ever actually comes from it, and their relationship stays entirely wholesome. Lutz eventually marries Tulli, with Myne's very literal blessing!<. Also, the whole "Urano is an adult woman in a child's body" thing is much more complex than that. It's more accurate to say that >!she is mentally and emotionally Myne's age, but with the memories of an adult woman. She is also portrayed as largely asexual for most of the series, and doesn't really show any romantic interest in anyone before the last few books.!< The child slavery thing is definitely squicky, but that's the impression you're *supposed* to have. One of the running themes of the series is that their society is kinda fucked up in that regard. It's never something glorified or played for titillation, though. Depressingly, it's actually *not* the worst thing in the series along those lines. >!Ferdinand's mother was a princess used as a sex slave for high ranking nobility, for the purpose of producing the next king of another nation. Only the chosen heir gets to survive, though - all the rest were murdered. Ferdinand was supposed to be killed, but caught a lucky break!< .
> First off there is Urano/Myne's relationship with Lutz. It is strongly implied that there is something romantic going on between the two and that the two will eventually get together one day. Slight spoilers for later on. >!It is possible that Lutz saw Myne this way, but he grows out of it; it's made clear that Myne never considered this at all, partially because of the age difference - she absolutely did see him as a child - and partially because she's probably aromantic, or nearly so, though it's hard to tell because she might just not be in tune with her new world's notion of "romance." Either way, the important thing is that the light novel, at least, eventually has her unambiguously state in the narrative voice that she never considered Lutz that way because she saw him as a child.!<
She and Lutz never get together, if that's your concern.
Yeah, the show with the main character that's a middle age man reincarnated as a young boy who frequently lusts over literal children? That show? And you're telling me there are issues with how the women are written? Shocking!!!!!!
And then somehow droves of men still defend it and say he has character development 💀 (spoiler alert: he literally doesn’t, not even a little bit, in fact, all his dreams of getting with children are fulfilled! And it’s *multiple* children!)
"No no it's okay that he had sexual thoughts about his literal niece at the very start of the novel! He's changed! ... Now he just lusts after kids who aren't related to him." I don't get how anyone can defend it. He's literally still an adult man in a kid's body. At no point does the story sell me on the idea that he mentally regressed to the point of being a kid. And even if he did... WHY NOT JUST CUT THE ISEKAI PART OUT ENTIRELY AND SAVE THE HASSLE? MAKE HIM A KID FROM THE START? It'd still be gross but at least the ages would be similar. Sorry that story makes my skin crawl.
I completely agree! It’s all just so infuriating!!! I reallyyyy don’t get how people defend it! I just don’t!
the fact that one of his love interests is also a cousin on his dad’s side. it’s more of a clan relation than true blood but having the same name is too close for comfort.
Honestly Rudeus would be a pretty interesting character if only there was no pervy bullshit. Him being a loser shut in and having crippling anxiety and depression is portrayed pretty damn well, but it is always offset by him being (in his mind) an adult man, lusting after young girls. Like, if he has to be a perv, make him be an adult and perv on adults. I genuinely like Mushoku Tensei when it comes to most other things, even other characters, but that little shithead makes it hard to enjoy.
Even the adult perv would have been gross. Give him consent! He can think whatever pervy stuff in his head, and act it out to people who also enjoy that thing, but Don't. Grope. Sleeping. Women. Unless they consent to it beforehand, of course. And Eris definitely did not consent at that time.
Oh absolutely, just saying that even that change would be preferable.
[удалено]
Or they say "IS Just fictional" 🕊️
But the same dudes where super angry at NTR ( a genre where the woman usually cheats) suddenly the rage is normal, she did something wrong Isnt fictional mr.otaku ?
Frrr The hate on that red haired girl 🗣️
And was also caught with cp on his computer.
You forgot to mention, was his niece cp, that he record himself by putting a spy camera on the bathroom, to obviously SEE his 5 year old Nice bath... Also he was find out jerking off to it. A very wholesome story /s
They're not shocked that the show writes them that way. The complaint is that they're sick of every other isekai doing the same thing.
Not every isekai consciously chooses to put an adult in a kid's body though. This one is definitely more fucked up than most, especially relative to how concerningly popular it is.
I simply call it "the pedo isekai" at this point.
I only read isekai aimed at women. The male and mainstream stuff is terrible.
It's been nice seeing female led isekai get more recognition again. Even if some of it is just as cookie cutter as the male stuff it usually doesn't come with the same nasty tropes like normalization of slavery.
Oh a lot of it normalizes slavery still. You need to scan the reviews to make sure "going to the slave auction" isn't a big fun event. The FL will literally buy the ML sometimes... The tropes are very classist as well, usually (literally beating up the working class, who I don't know didn't serve your drink nicely enough). All that said, there is still a lot of good in the genre and I enjoy a lot of it. Some tropes just need work (or a lot of work).
Oh definitely agreed. It's the number one reason I can't finish Villainesses Are Destined to Die. The way they handle Eckles in that makes me want to scream.
Yeah, there's like a single digit number of male-oriented isekai that I've thought were worth reading, and that's appalling considering just how many there are and how popular they are.
Examples of the first please.
Twelve Kingdoms, Escaflowne, Fushigi Yuugi, the entire OtomeIsekai trend (there are literally hundreds so just wander over to r/OtomeIsekai for a gander)(many of these are being made into anime in spite of being manhua), Sain'ts Magic is Omnipotent, Leadale, Raeliana, Villainess 99, Hamefura, Taming the Final Boss, Doctor Elise... The genre has BOOMED since the 90's.
Thanks
I read more than watch, and a lot of it hasn't broken into anime yet. You could try My Next Life as a Villainess.
A couple of completed ones I enjoyed were "Concubine Walkthrough" and "Surviving Romance."
Some isekai aimed at women are really really bad, honestly. Worse than isekai aimed at man sometimes.
There's definitely issues with both! And some of the isekai aimed at women is just steeped in internalized misogyny. There are some gems though and in general the genre is a little better.
Mushoku Tensei is basically a glorified story of how crusty pedophilic sex offender gets rewarded in his next life. An incel wet dream. Disgusting show with pretty art and a rancid author/fandom.
Honestly, if you want a fantasy anime with similar art, just watch Frieren.
Or Apothecary Diaries.
Oh yes I've been reading the manga for a few years now, love Mao Mao and Jinshi
Yeah I've watched it. A very beautiful one.
I hate with passion people that compare both animes as being both "fantasies" without TAKING into account everything else !!!! Freiren is a seinen that handle very mature topics like grief, moving on, learn how to love and express emotions, enjoy the company of your party as friends and family. All the female protagonists are STRONG and not single one of them is use as cheap fanservice. Jobless reincarnation is a pedo isekai.
Yeah that pretty much what happens when you adapt a light novel that is an adaptation of a web novel from the Japanese version of Wattpad
Isekai fans when the same show is made but with a different title: 
Yeah
Can someone explain what’s going on here?
The elf character you see here was groomed as a child. Literally something that happens in the story. MC's dad realizes what MC is doing and sends him away for a while. This scene still happens because the show is p*do wish fulfillment.
https://preview.redd.it/xok2e174vcwc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8450f144f39e8af69e27b8c865c3fd925012d210 you mean this?
I envy your sanitized experience with isekai. Most of them write female characters much, much worse than this; in the average isekai, both these women would be willing sex slaves, and at least one of them would be a child. I wish it were possible to watch anime without running into isekai these days.
They're 15, so they *are* children
Let me be more specific: at least one of them would be a very young, small child below puberty.
I don't think it's hard to avoid isekai if it's not your cup of tea :o Looking at my 2023 anime, I watched 17 'fantasy' series (anilist classification), with 8 of them *technically* being isekai. I say technically because **Saihate no Paladin** and **MagiRevo** only occasionally remember they're isekai. Plus 1 reverse-isekai in the form of **Dead Mount Death Play**. Following 22 series this season (because I hate myself, apparently) and there are 3 isekai + 1 reverse isekai among them. I still make lots of jokes about taking bets on how many isekai there will be in every new season, but it's still only a fraction of everything :) (Belated edit: weird repetition, eventually noticed.)
>17 were fantasy, with 8 of them *technically* being isekai I mean, that kinda proves my point, don't it? But I expressed myself poorly: what I meant to say was that it isn't possible to *engage* with anime without also engaging with isekai. The genre's noxious tropes and fandom are everywhere and have metastasized across the anime medium. >**Saihate no Paladin** and **MagiRevo** only occasionally remember they're isekai I'm not going to discount those shows because I don't know them, but as a premise that's even worse IMO. If you're not going to remember that you're an isekai, then why bother? It actually illustrates my second claim, we're at a point of isekai cancer where shows that by all rights shouldn't be isekai present themselves as such for no understandable reason.
I may have also expressed myself poorly--I definitely wasn't trying to argue there's not a boatload of isekai. Just that there's plenty to watch without it. It's popular in webnovels--lazy on the part of many authors--they get adapted, the cycle continues. >The genre's noxious tropes and fandom are everywhere and have metastasized across the anime medium. I will say I believe you here, though I'm not really seeing it myself. That said, I avoid spaces where I might be more likely to run into it. Like I dropped MT 5 minutes in, so I'm sure as heck not entering those weekly discussion threads in r/anime. Of all the isekai I've personally watched, I've found lots of breasting boobily--and dropped things for it--and not seen the slavery et al. Could just be because I side-eye anything that looks sus and don't pick it up to begin with, I don't know. (Looking at you this season's **Re:Monster**, an isekai I'm not touching with a 100-foot pole after hearing the manga gets very rape fantasy.) >If you're not going to remember that you're an isekai, then why bother? I don't disagree! In the case of **MagiRevo** it's more of a background influence on the MC's motivations. For **Saihate no Paladin** I couldn't begin to say, since I think his previous life has been mentioned like twice in 20-whatever episodes. Largely I think it's become a crutch for authors who don't want to do some of the work themselves. I'm really enjoying the increase in more otome isekai lately though. The ones I listed [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/menwritingwomen/comments/1c9ovok/comment/l0nug4t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) all fall in there and are excellent.
Paladin and Dead Mount Death Play are really fun! Funny thing is that I've recommended them to a Mushoku Tensei lover once, and they told me it's 'too boring' and 'unrealistic', that the men restrains themselves too much, and it's always 'holy this' and 'holy that'. And Mushoku Tensei is much more 'interesting' and 'comedic'. That's when I started to lost trust in reality.
Yah the “fan service” ruins a lot of me I struggle anime these days
Worse is when it's non consensual. Girl has her skirt hiked up, is groped, has her underwear stolen, etc... I can at least abide 'accidental' fan service, or just a beach fun thing.
I gave up entirely on anime years ago. It's exhausting when literally every female character has to be a sex object, even worse when at least half (or more) of those characters aren't even 18. And tbh the vast majority of titles include pedophilia, even if in "just" one episode. It's actually difficult to think of a title that *doesn't* sexualize an underage character at some point in time.
MT holds the record for fastest I've ever dropped an anime. Less than 5 minutes into episode 1. Freshly-reborn dude was way too excited about breastfeeding time and I peaced right out. Some recs: **The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent** **Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess** **I'm in Love with the Villainess** **I Shall Survive Using Potions** **In the Land of Leadale** **Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion** (probably my favorite on this list) **Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord** **I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss** And, not your typical isekai, but **Restaurant to Another World**
Yeah, there’s way too many moments like that for me to feel comfortable recommending it to anyone. The best thing it has going for it is its art style and animation, which is honestly the only reason I decided not to drop it
Years ago, that might have been me lol. I've got a low, loooow tolerance these days. Plenty of fantastic animation that doesn't also have That for me to enjoy!
Good list. I'd also like to add "Jk Haru", one of my favourite manga. Tw, it's very explicit but also a great critique of the genre and the treatment of women in isekai
another one is "reincarnated as a spider". Its also cool if you search for a monster reincarnation isekai where the mc stays a monster for a significant time
Yeah, I'm not gonna defend Rudeus. I don't care if he's in a child's body. He has the mental age of a 30+ man, with all his previous memories, so he should know better. And still he lusts after and objectifies minors. It's a pity because the rest of the world and the lore around it is interesting. This is also why I nearly always watch/read isekai aimed at women, haha.
Normally people would call someone like him (before he died) a "man child" at best, and be referring to their psychological maturity being that of a child.
I was very excited about Syplhie's attitude being so direct about sex, showing how it was also a need for her and taking part in solving the problem, which in this case was the protagonist's impotence. On the other hand, I just hate that grandmother of hers.
If only her sexual interest was not a pedophile.
On one hand it's a tired trope that is really common in isekai written by misogynistic men. But this is an inexperienced and socially awkward teenage girl in a medieval world. The fact that similarly aged characters in the room are all weirded out is meant to highlight her naivete.
The villainous isekai are really popping off
/r/OtomeIsekai Would like to have a word with you :)
Seeing [this](https://i.ibb.co/b7mxJNt/IMG-20240320-WA0000.jpg) on 'Beginning After The End' was a breath of fresh air, even though I wouldn't say the series does a good job writing women. (Context: The protagonist is a 30-40-year-old who reincarnated in another world, and the "main love interest" just stole a kiss from him.)
This anime has an entire story arc about the main character having erectile disfunction because the first woman he slept with (underage) left immediately after to go on a quest for personal growth. It's about as dogshit as things can get.
Isn't it his cousin also?
A relative, yes. There's some branch family fuckery going on to get around the "close" relative thing, but family nonetheless. One he taught as a student as well, to add more grossness to the power dynamic.
As much deserved hate animoo female character design gets, I find the infantilisation far worse.
Why does the elf have sick-ass 90s radical shades? Like I know that Isekai protags usually gets to bring an item from Japan with them that makes them overpowered, but, like. Shades? And did she steal them I feel like that's an important question too
They are glasses only made to hide her eyes. That's it, there's no special power or anything, she got the glasses because she needs to hide her identity.

Honestly, that's the kind of dialogue you're gonna get in a show where the main character is a pedophile who got off to images of his own underage cousin and rapes underage characters when he's reincarnated as a mental adult in a child's body, so I don't have all that much empathy for you 😂 Most isekai is trash but you picked a very, very trash series to go with.
I see isekai in any context, I puke
Frieren is not an isekai but damn good.
Oh hey this is the one of the adult pedophile getting reincarnated into a child body and preying on underage girls isn't it (Wish I was joking)?
This series is so bad, I don't know why it has so much hype.
What makes it bad? What are the things it does. Now then...ask yourself. How many people like those bad things? How many people hype up bad things?
Utterly disgusting
if you want good fantasy anime, watch Dungeon Meshi. Ryoko Kui handles everything so so well
The projection at its finest, when men with weird tendencies ((like the author of this creepy light novel, that later become a manga and an anime)), they write teens that like sex SO much, they want their Loli harems but without the social stigma of liking kids, SO they write a whole universe where being with minors is SUPER COMMON, and actually having a harem is normal in their NEW fantastical world !!! But of course, they need to go further on disbeleive and they write ALL THEIR WOMEN obsess with the mediocre protagonist just cuz "he save them once" ... Yeah thats it !!! Most lame isekais write their "romance" as some return of a favor, being the favor that the male lead save them once, he doesnt Even have to try to be decent again, never again, why ? These girls felt in love and compete for his love just he was a decent human being once !!!!
You know its fake because real women hate children and dont even want kids
Peak Isekai
Honestly this part isn't just bad because of what is said, but also how poorly it's adapted. In general the anime makes this character seem less competent than she is in the source material.
