>>282889561that's cringe you're cringe
>just wanted to live a normal life without standing out>break the ball insteadEhhhhhhhhhhh?
Hufflepuff
>the most aggressive asshole at the ACADEMY picks a fight with me>punch him to outer space while the whole school and staff watches>ahh, back to my quiet life of not standing out
>>282889980>yesterday I forgot to turn my swag off>now I'm covered in bitches
>>282889977I want an isekai where an obviously broken OP MC pulls the >Wah I just want to be a normal background character And then gets dumped in the boring NPC classes and ignored by basically everyone. Even when they "accidentally" show off their SSS-class cheat powers everyone treats them like they farted into a cup and smelled it.
>>282890074i want a isekai where the mc keeps trying to find his cheat skill but he simply doesnt have one or any boon of any kind and everyone's just really pissed off being around him cause of he's sheer detachment to reality
>>282890119Sounds like my diary desu
>>282890119>a native who has read stories of isekaijin has a mental break and hallucinates life in another world, a goddess giving him cheat powers and a greater purpose in life
>>282890074that's basically all the cooking isekais>you brought me primordial demon crab meat from the abyss area?>YOOOOOOOoooooo ok I'm done shartyfacing. One month's living expenses is the best I can do now fuck off
>>282890074>>282890119>I want a story where nothing actually happensNo you don't, you lying contrarian retards.
>>282891011It would at least make a decent oneshot, obviously the nips wouldn't go for it as it doesn't play into the pathetic loser power fantasy that's fundamental to isekai.
>>282890119Literally me in this world desu.
>>282891347quit 4chan and get a life ya commie piece of shit
>>282891148You're a polfag suggesting things out of spite. There's no merit to what you say or think is a "good idea".
>>282889515Seems great, I was told I could be anything in life and here I am posting in 4chan, where is my destiny?
>>282891148No it wouldn't. You just think, "opposite of thing I hate = thing I like", which is as utterly mindless in its subversion as following TV Tropes like a checklist is in its conformity.
>>282889515
>>282892273God forbid someone try to do something different I guess, isekais where the MC professes up and down that all they want is a quiet life and to be a background character are dime a dozen, it wouldn't be terribly subversive for the isekai god to say "okay, you're a background NPC, nothing will ever happen to you", the concept of "be careful what you wish for" literally dates back millennia. A oneshot with that concept would be a hundred times more bearable than 500 chapters of awkward virgin pretends he doesn't love being worshiped like a god and collecting a harem he'll never fuck.
>>282893175Actually I wouldn't mind seeing it, but instead of it played as a straight subversion or punishment for the MC just have it be a happy, fluffy slice of life. Occasionally some reminder that his classmates are fighting pointless goblin rape battles to the death at the behest of corrupt nobility, while MC found himself a quiet farming community and discovers the joy of simple life.
>>282893501>My entire class got summoned to another world but I didn't get any cheat powers so I was banished to a farming village on the outskirts and now live a simple life raising a family.The entire manga is him learning how to farm, banging his 6/10 wife (who is 10/10 in his eyes) and occasionally getting a letter describing all the outlandish shit that's happening to the "real" main characters.
>>282893175It's "something different" from actually having a fucking story.
>>282894069Should have known it already exists, lmao. Will check it out.
>>282894297the story is that he's worthless and insufferable. whats the matter? i thought you wanted a character you could relate to?
>>282894297You can have a story that isn't just some power fantasy, that story could be a young man coming to terms with the fact that he's not the main character of the world, he's not destined for greatness and won't be remembered by anyone save surviving friends and family . The conflict he faces is purely against himself and the uncertainty of his future. Stories can be whatever you want, you just need a little imagination.>>282894624Sorry but I made it up, there might be something similar that exists though and if it does I'd like to read it. (I do genuinely like the idea and have been thinking about the premise and plot points)
>>282889515I don't understand why they needed the ball, if they could see their stats with Status anyway.Does anyone else feel the episode was really weirdly shot? We don't actually see the class fighting, I don't think we got any action shots other than the protagonist (like when the Hero throws the smoke bomb and the two orcs vanished to be replaced by the minotaur.)Also, did he have Presence Concealment on ALL THE TIME? Did no-one notice they were missing one dude?
>>282890119I would actually love to see an isekai where the MC is the 'shill'. For instance, the rest of the group wants to go off on tangents to fight slavery or whatever, and the protagonist is the one who goes:>No, no sidequests, we're killing the Demon Lord and we're going home.>No Bob you can't marry the Elven princess, she's going to have a political marriage>Darren, you're not going to overthrow the corrupt monarchy, we need the corrupt monarchy to send us home after the adventure is over. >David wants to go off and be the cool loner rebel? Sounds like he's going to be trouble, I need to get him killed before he ruins this for everyone.
>>282893175That is kind of like the Mortal Engines novel, where the protagonist inherits a watch shop from his dad. He's not particularly good at anything, and he doesn't know anything about watchmaking, so he's bewildered when countless people start targeting him. It turns out that he has a identical twin brother who is actually the one they're after, and the twin returns to pick the plot threads and the MacGuffin (including the lovely fallen angel heroine who wants to jump his bones). The protagonist eventually sells the watch shop and gets out of town. No, I'm serious, that's how it ends.
>>282894822I feel that a thing that would make fantasies like this a lot more bearable would be to have all his classmates be equally powerful. For example, the MC may be the 'stealth assassin guy', but another dude is the 'fighting with swords guy' and yet another is 'greatest wizard ever'.So it's not a case of 'everyone is so stupid other than me', it's 'everyone has their one specific niche and mine is skulking around'.
>>282894937Was that the original mortal engines or a sequel? I read it years ago but all I remember is some woman with a scar and London getting slagged with a laser>>282894986Yeah, that feels better and has a more constructive message of "everyone has their own talents"
>>282895622Sorry, I misnamed it - It's K. W. Jeter's Infernal Devices. My bad, I had a brain fart there.
>>282894800>i thought you wanted a character you could relate to?No, that's retarded nonsense and always has been.>>282894822>You can have a story that isn't just some power fantasySure, but the point is that description doesn't contain one, just "not that icky thing".You could write a story about a guy sitting on a beach, but sitting on a beach isn't a story, or even an idea for a story, and you shouldn't expect me to be impressed if that's all you have.

>>282890158Isekai Don Quizote would be too based for this world.
>>282894864>We don't actually see the class fighting, I don't think we got any action shots other than the protagonistliteral red shirts. mobs.>Also, did he have Presence Concealment on ALL THE TIME?he did when it was shown on screen i guess?>Did no-one notice they were missing one dude?haha he was the invisible loner, get it? peak comedy. also, he was in plain view training with the captain so they should have seen him.
>>282895797Sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out
>>282896277Out of ten!
Can we all at least agree that the background artists deserve a bonus for their work? 10/10, very well done.
>>282897007hm yeah they're good. some spaces are very detailed, nice colors.
