I think royal road does it best by forcing an actual review, not just a rating. Even webnovel requires something to be written not just a rating. I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I don't even jnderstand how someone is allowed to rate a story without even having...

The stats page is great already, but I'd love to see how long someone spent reading the chapter. This would also help to weed out rating abuse, for one star bombing, and artificial 5 star inflation. I just got a slew of one stars on the twentieth on 3 of my stories, all Fanfics that haven't been...

Not an isekai because the person upon arrival isn't the same exact person who was initially transported. This is easily proved by decisions made by the deficient being different than the whole. That would be reincarnation+ Otherworldly knowledge, even if the new being has the original body...

It's simple. Any story with both isekai and amnesia automatically has both tags removed and forced into the new reincarnation tag. If memories are to be regained overtime that are only after a new personality has formed they can add the Otherworldly knowledge tag. This hits all points easily...

Its still out of order. And the new personality in the meantime isn't "you" First if a side character is enough to qualify as isekai you can simply add any isekai character for a single paragraph to earn the tag. No, the Mc is the isekai protag. And you can't be an isekai protag if you are...

You just proved me correct. First, that it doesn't have to be fantasy, and that a person must from one world to another. They can't be born there, which makes amnesia stories nearly impossible to be isekai stories. Because when they wake up without memories it's essentially the same as being born.

Then slang shouldn't be a genre. Genre are well defined and have limits. At best you are arguing for the removal of the isekai genre.

I can show you an unending amount of non fantasy isekai. Fantasy and isekai can with together fine or apart. Isekaied with amnesia, particularly the permanent kind doesn't.

I don't even care if you do, it's not a requirement of isekai ti be fantasy at all though, what IS a requirement is at least 1 person going to ANOTHER world. It can't be ANOTHER if they don't remember their life in the first. And also it gets into the theological debate of are they the same...

Stargate has gone to other universes so he's wrong, hell star trek does as well, does that mean it fits? Of course not. Fantasy world is not a requirement of isekai at all. And you can't be an outsider if memories of being an outsider are gone. When the memories are removed that kills the...

Oh yes giant hate boner. The best part of isekai is the relatability the reader has, and any memory loss kills that.

I'm not the only one who has a pet peeve over this tagging. There are actually quite a few posts around bitching about it.

Idc if it's .000001% fuck all isekai with amnesia stories. Did you really not read the tldr? What about the third paragraph? Or the 3 proposed changes that would do what I desire, namely making isekai with amnesia limited to the reincarnation tag?

No, it's the main point of most of these replies. The only other comments was someone debating on the meaning of "world" vs it intent. And one agreeing with portal fantasy. My fuss is that for the Mc to be transfered he must be the same person on both sides. Amnesia upon arrival creates a new...

We really haven't, just trying to have a real conversation yet nobody here can understand the idea that an entire story told from the perspective of someone with amnesia whom isn't the exact person whom lived on the previous world doesn't qualify as an isekai protag. Thus the story doesn't...
