Publishers are just trying to find the next big LN genre. Urban battle harem was replaced with fantasy isekai/vrmmo.

Villainess is the closest but scifi seems to be the current push. Romcom always comes and goes too. For like 6 months it seemed like the push was ‘romance with a foreign girl’ due to Alya

How fucking new? They have been trying to make sci-fi in general (not just isekai) work since 2021 and not that many stick.

i will remind you space mercenary started to get published on narou around very early 2019 and the LN started publishing barely 5 months or so after

I recently got rec'd a manga too
You're just jealous kickedGODs are so prominent there's already deconstructions of it, parody of it, proofs people are aware of the trend, and you wanted that attention for your soi-fi

>>282880822
>there's already deconstructions of it, parody of it, proofs people are aware of the trend,
reminder konosuba was one of the ones that made isekai into a mainstream trend and it parodied a concept that to this day is still not real as a played completely straight form
same with otome shit being based on a game concept that never existed and to this day still doesn't exist
also im laughing at sci-fi tards too you fucking pajeet

There's nothing to censor, even in the novel the "sex" scenes are fade-to-black style

tondemo skill is the highest rated series on narou and has held that throne for almost as long as arifureta did back in the day and it's adaptation is still just "fine" budget wise as a cheap job between JJK seasons
maomao is also currently the best selling LN in japan and it still also only got "good" budget, and even then only for key moments and the OP/ED because it's a "everyone stands still talking" slideshow most of the time

Fade to black can get censored. It wouldn't be the first time an anime removes even the mention of it.

The Japanese are doing interesting space sci-fi, but none of the ones you named are part of it. Actually impressive how many Japanese nerds are deep into rocketry and space autism when JAXA sucks so much.

>>282881103
Do pic rel has a MC from a pissant background that has the rare gift of light magic, assists a military academy where she cucks half the school to have a reverse harem which includes the crown prince and the guy planning a coup? And has a "villainess" that is just rightfully seething she got cucked and the MC sent the country into political disarray due to her cuckening? And after the school arc there's a war arc with the neighboring country?
And the gameplay consists of mostly a mixture of dungeon crawling like EO plus some aspects from jrpgs like cold steel?
No?
Then kill yourself nigger.

It's unironically one of the best of it's generation, but it's also the most shafted series I have ever seen second only to loner isekai.
>The manga adaptation is ass and makes it look like shounenshit while effectively skipping half the story.

Someone said wed see reverse isekai (ie gooksloop urban dungeons) as the next big wave in anime, but it seems they finally moved away from that one site filled to the brim with shitty written web novels from where all modern isekai crawled out from, I do wonder what the next big wave is gonna be, it does seem like battle shonens are making a comeback however

I reported darkstar translations to several authors and got their site shutdown. Those niggers would tl an entire novel then trickle out 1 chapter a week or month depending on how they felt at the time.

It doesn't matter if a single game has 100 of everything when it's got 99. Any one of those has routes, fail routes due to some noble conspiring to kill you, capture targets (aka. the reverse harem), items to increase your Cool stat, etc.
The MC from 2nd game has a rare gift of light magic, though she isn't a pissant. In another game, the MC might be a pissant. The important thing for the reader is that it's all plausible when it comes to the topic of otome game. A game like that 'could' exist.
>And the gameplay consists of mostly a mixture of dungeon crawling like EO plus some aspects from jrpgs like cold steel?
Yup. First game has dungeon crawling-hence the 'Crush' spell. Plus Academy.

For example, here. This is a very natural interaction because routes that depend on an interest of mc do exist.

The moral superiority of spending years learning moonrunes so you can just buy the new releases on amazon and browse narou/kakyomu/etc. for whatever catches your fancy. Hell, the moral superiority of MTLing WNs on your own for your own consumption vs the moral depravity of paying a third worlder with a tenuous grasp on English to do it for you.

The problem with "close enough" arguments is they are very much not close enough with how hyper-specific the parodied concept tends to be, to the point it makes no logical sense something they are directly referencing doesn't actually exist.
Even in isekai you got the original concept of
>Fatso NEET gets killed by a truck, meets a goddess that reincarnates him in a dragon quest world with his original earth's body, turns out to have been summoned by a princess to be a hero to kill the demon lord, so then he embarks in a quest to gather a harem and become strong enough to kill the 4 demon lord generals and eventually the demon lord himself, upon which he will come back to earth to be a wagie.
That has been parodied, subverted, sequeled, deconstructed, played backwards, inverted, and reconstructed, but never once has actually been played straight despite being so mentioned with such consistency and such detail it makes no goddamn sense it doesn't exist.
Same with otomeslop and a gender-swapped cold steel style JRPG.

You don't even know when they are leaving out chucks of the wn or completely making up new parts without doing it yourself.

>>
>>282881807
I meant those groups wanting to be paid for their wn translations. If that's all a person looks at it can be changed a lot compared to the original. Even some mtl you do yourself can show where some of that occurs, without needing to rely on it being accurate.

Explain how exactly is a random villainess isekai like Hamefura, etc. incoherent or illogical.
>they're illogical because once we put Hamefura and 999 different isekai together, and run statistics, the amalgamation of all parodied elements in those doesn't make sense
What?
>>
>>282881327
I actually ended up dropping that series because the MC's kids might as well not exist to him.
>>
>>282876900
This suffers from the same thing other isekais do - there is no central plot, it's just random shit happens, girls stand near his door and beg to have sex, and that's it
>>
>>282881863
>Even some mtl you do yourself can show where some of that occurs
>Pronouns changing every chapter
Every single fucking time.
>>
>>282881327
If they thought they didn't need to show that part it could have been removed too. Some series they can more completely remove parts, or change the response a MC has.
>>
>>282882152
to be fair he interacts with them a lot more in the ln. He dotes on his kids heavily but at the same time thinks they don't like him (they treat him as if he were a god).
>>
>>282882205
At least when it's unedited and you mtl yourself you know to not trust any of that. Someone else that tries editing it might make the wrong choices and being more readable falsely gives the idea of being more accurate.

>>282881611
It is a fact that sites filled with poorly written stories, its like saying wattpad is full of shitty fanfics, which is also a fact, not a hate boner thing anon.

Sure but both of those aren't otome games and one of them most certainly is an english language flash game. Japanese people playing foreign flash games isn't unheard of but the closest to any otome isekai is unironically angelique 1. And even then it birrowed elements from old, old shoujo drama manga

Chinks have danmei which practically killed any chance of Japanese BL novels taking off. Otherwise they don’t have much more. Baihe maybe? But Japan is still putting up a fight with yuri LNs.
