    My 12 year old actually likes Isekais, and it wasn't my genre preference for the most part unless it's The Cat Returns, or Sword Art Online, but I recently started Dr.Stone, and love that. It doesn't have excessive things other Isekais seem to? I'm open to suggestions on ones having little to no magic or harems, lol. Preferably ones I can watch with my kids, who I got into anime, ages 2-12. They like One Punch Man, MHA, and DBZ, as well as Bofuri, and things like that.

    but what if theres an LN Series that achieve both things. being a fun read, and actually being a good story. what people misunderstand about good stories is it doesn’t have to be that deep. it just needs some sort of message or voice. as you can tell from my bad engrish, english isn’t my first language but i’ve been living in japan for long enough to write manuscripts in japanese. i entered a dengeki bunko light novel contest this year actually. whether i’ve passed or not, the result comes in december. my minset when going through this was i wanted to write a story that actually has a meaning. i didnt want people who read my manuscript to feel like they didn’t earned anything out of it. but watching this lifted a lot of pressure off my back so thank you. but as a dude who loves storytelling in general(not just books), the just cram good/sick ideas and pray people would love it meantallity, doesn’t excuse bad writing

      for professional writers I agree. but the added factor here is the consumer. if you're writing for an audience then i think the results are similar. if you think you wrote a great book you have to hope people think its great to sell it. If you write a fun book, you have to hope people find it fun to sell it. As a writer and lover of good literature myself I do appreciate authors that aspire to write amazing works, but I also respect authors that want to write something fun and easy.

    I love light novels, they are so fun to read. Good, bad, idc. I adore the content medium and have actually started working on my own series. It's a lot of fun to brainstorm ideas, get a general plot outline going, and just gave fun with it. However, writing well is actually really hard. There is a lot you must keep track of, and a lot of full grammar rules from school that you gotta forget. (E.G. every paragraph must have at minimum 4 sentences. | They do not, when it comes to creative writing.) I have alao learned a lot of keyboard commands for special characters that i never even knew existed-the Em Dash for example. "The Doll Princess" if anyone is interested.

    Spent most of my life watching anime. Got hooked on manga in my early teen years to see stories I normally wouldn't and appreciate the differences the original has compared to it's future adaption. A few years later, I'm now in my light novel arc and I'm lovin' it. Strangely, I believe Tanya was one of the first I got! Read quite a lot of the first volume, but I got sick of the 'dry and descriptive' strategy and politics. I think I could've enjoyed spice and wolf as well, but I was put off by the American cover and got bored too. Wanna get back into it sometimes, though. The rest I really love! So I'm a Spider, So What? Mushoku tensei. Overlord. A certain magical index. (Got the massive old testament omnibus 😭 it's amazing). Re zero. Ascendance of a bookworm. Also getting into Shadow slave and will see the other big webnovels after it.

      I think it's fair to see Rimuru as a bad guy. Each person has their own perspective, and unless a world literally revolves around a single person, then the perspective of Rimuru or a fan of Rimuru is not the objectively correct one. So, a friend of a knight who died by Rimuru's actions would be morally fine to consider Rimuru as a bad guy. Of course, Rimuru isn't an objective evil, but he can't literally be a good guy for everyone. Although, I do consider Rimuru to be a fairly good person, it's just that... the amount of destruction he has caused is rarely befit of an innocent individual. But, I believe the main point of this video is that Isekai protagonists who are *selfish* are interesting. And a selfish good person can certainly do a lot of bad stuff.

    I like the title of this video but at the same time can't you say that to every single medium out there as long as you like the medium. If you like books there are many books that don't have the most complex story lines but are still enjoyable (something like legends & lattes). If you like Anime there are many different shows to scratch different niches for example JJK on a visual standpoint, K-on or Bocchi the Rock two series that just wouldn't work without the sound. And of course as the video mentioned there are Light Novel which are kinda an intermediate between Mangas and books and you can get some very unique stories out of them as they use more of a Japanese way of writing compare to the western/european style.

    to be honest this story is way to politically heavy for me. don't get me wrong, i don't mind politic in isekai manga, and i do appreciate an isekai manga that was set in a more realistic and believable world like this one. where there is no level, or stats or skill. the world function like a realistic believable world, and not like a game, and there's actual consequence but, there is just to much politic. 90-95% of the manga is just politic, and that is not enough to keep me from staying. i just wish they mixed it up more. and to be honest, i think the manga is sooo politically heavy, i think the author should name it navigating political thorns in another world. becausr the manga is mostly about politic anyway.
