but how will u know that said person is isekaid? if the person in question dont admit? like out of nowhere someone invent coca cola and there is a chapter of the mc going to on a date to this new place that sell this knew frizli drink called coca?
Exactly. We as the externals, the readers, will immediately recognize the Isekai. The name. The look. The personality. The way they interact with the world. The things they do and the things they say. We will know they are an outside influence to the world, but the Main Cast will think them to be something akin to a monster or alien. They know this person was summoned or appeared out of nowhere, depending on the story chosen, but they don't know where they came from or the depth of their knowledge.
so u want to use isekai to suplement the world building so that u can bring more recent moral dilemas and topics without breaking the reader imersion?

And, to top it off, while it is important to the world and the story, the Main Cast don't loiter with the character or give them the googly eyes that maybe the host nation gave them. The Main Cast just sees them as spare parts, or as just another adventurer with big dreams and their mind in the clouds compared to the reality of the world.
Or, as myself and Gebel sort of discussed- they might make that Coca Cola you mentioned and the Main Cast come across it, think it an odd item, and somehow come across the Isekai later on. Maybe they need something from the Isekai to aid them in their journey, or maybe the Isekai approaches them.
The Isekai does not take center stage at any point. While in their own bubble off screen they might be important, but to the MC and his allies, the Isekai is just another name on a supporting list of characters they will come across in their journey.
Nope! I want to bring in an Isekai character to kill them in a spectacular way.
i suport that no one would see that comingNope! I want to bring in an Isekai character to kill them in a spectacular way.
It depends on the creative writing. While they would not die right away, if they die at all as I always leave it up to possibility on how I want to swing things, they would have enough of an impact to warrant plenty of screen time before either getting merc'd or the Main Cast moves on to do other things. While the Isekai also goes off to do their own thing.
Unless he's dying to save the world, no. Bad idea. Needs longer in the oven.
I agree and never have otherwise disagreed- the Isekai needs to be special in some way. Hence why he stands out. While not an integral person to the plot itself, as the story will not derail because of their existence by any means, nerfing them and making them rather useless is a waste of a character. The Isekai needs to be an individual capable of Main Character antics. Whether they are skilled in battle or otherwise skilled in the support-role (like being able to make grand things or develop them).
Reckon that there is driven by the previous desire to make him special.
So here, I suggest the idea of the isekaied person having a goal they need to fulfill? If their arrival was "accidental", I guess they would become a scholar looking for a way home.
This is genius. Why have an action isekai character when you can have a slow-life isekai character? :3
Indeed, the reason behind their summoning is crucial. Whether it be accidental or on purpose, the why is also important. I do like that you brought it up. The idea I had was to incorporate the "Demon Lord" who's sleeping as a reason. I.e; the monsters/minions are cropping up again and the nation needs the help of an external Hero to combat them. But, that's boring. Simple and straight forward, easy to implement, but stale. There's no depth and it's been beaten into the dirt.
Hm... Now we're making bread rise.This would, again, depend on the type of support individual they are. It'd be easy to slot such a character in and then take them out, since they're naturally planted in one place, but it is rather 2 dimensional in that aspect as well. Making this sort of character an Isekai is worthless since the Trope doesn't get used effectively. If they're a support-role Isekai, then they need to have some kind of heavy influence. The idea of having them invent something culinary based would work more as a side story, not something integral to the plot.
That's what you get!
Shut up you.That's what you get!
Oh.
So a storyline with multiple plot lines.N-Nota.
As Envy said, it's a regular fantasy novel. Characters are typical adventurers with some of their own backstories and they're going on their adventure/journey. The plot is moving along and then word starts going around about some Hero or powerful Adventurer who cropped up and is now making waves with their exploits. That Hero/Powerful entity is the isekai'd person. But, the story doesn't revolve around them. They're just another side character that pops up every now and again because of some wack-o out of this world accomplishment, but the MC and the party continue on their own plot.
Or, also as Envy said, the main party comes across this random character that seems or is entirely out of place. Turns out they got Isekai'd and are now in the MC's world. Just doing their own thing, living their best (or worst) life.
No, not the typical isekai. The story isn't an isekai! Only the side character was isekaid. Not the MC. The MC is from that world.
