Secret of Evermore. It's like four isekai in one.

I second the trope of the protagonist developing things to advance a difficult society. I enjoy a lot series like ascendence of a bookworm, Dr. Stone or release that witch. This one is more trashy, I like when the MC finds a exploitable loophole of the magic system, using old magic in...

Character interaction, world building (mainly lore) and story progression. You want to show at least two of those on each significant portion of your story. If you relate the system to those then it'll help to harmonize with the flow of the story. Well, that's my point of view as a reader. Let...

Their eye is commonly viewed as their weak point. But that same eye is often used as a precious alchemy material. Depends on the story if the eye maintains its value after being damaged or if it's worth the risk. As these kind of monsters they're big and strong but not very fast or agile. In...

It's a sad story. I hope Saitama gets some fulfilling happiness soon.

As finished I'm recommending two not very famous: "Mother of learning" (read in Royal Road, for example) and "Rakuin no Monshou" (there are links in novelupdates). I had fun with them, they're completed and not as famous as Slime, Jobless, Solo Leveling, etc... or the classics. That said, I...

There is a non-zero chance that aliens are the same kind of animals as Earth humans when an extreme case of the theory of convergent evolution happens. It may be that our tales are boringly similar. (As side note, that would mean there may be a real life isekai astronaut in a distant future or...

Use a comedic non sequitur. Make the villagers understand they have better things to do than complain to a party of fools and silly monsters.

In real life, a lot of people would find that very troubling and soul-draining. Imagine the shy young adventuring girl entering the butcher shop with a giant muscular bald old man processing meat with his intimidating knife. "What the hell you want?" *thack!* *mystery meat gets cut in half* Now...

A classic videogame with a magic that used materials is "Secret of Evermore". It could look cool sometimes but having to grind for materials to level up the magic was not fun. FF8 had the infamous draw system. That can be seen as magic with the need of an item. Aside from physical materials...

I think a chef/farmer build is the way to go. I mean, isekai characters do that with Japanese food stuff and mayonnaise all the time. I think it would be interesting for a person of another world to do that with their original culture. As random trivia, a returner from an isekai gets a job as...

As random trivia, that's the start of the light novel "A Sword Master Childhood Friend Power Harassed Me Harshly, So I Broke Off Our Relationship And Make A Fresh Start At The Frontier As A Magic Swordsman". You can also check classics of the kind of "Peter Pan", "Momo", "Moby Dick", etc... to...

I'm from Spain and I'm conflicted. Will I cease existing if that me changes history? Well, I have no idea of real diplomacy so I think I'll just try to add as many height puns within the talk and let it go. I'm probably dead anyway.

It beats the "not remembering that hero" joke but, similar to a glossary, adding a 23 lines ranking at the end of each chapter. Maybe gods are playing magic league? For each hero then also point where and what is doing. But maybe that goes a little litrpg style and, yeah, it's a bit against your...

To leave comments is a form of communication. I'm quite sure some of these silent readers here are kinda anxious about it so showing that love to the story can be hard. Kind of like an inverse hedgehog paradox or something. I don't know... it feels like that. Maybe I'm just imagining things...
