    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    Oh no, I already planned for the drama to happen from the start. I'm planning a character growth story through hardships, not just a slow life isekai with an overpowered MC.

    Yeah, at the first, I'm writing with the intention of following their style. What do you mean by this? Yeah, it's really long, and I suppose it's not unique or competitive enough. Not that I'm aiming it to be unique in the first place.

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    Just add some gimmick like many isekais do, even though the base story is essentially the same. You mean per chapter viewcounts? Honestly, looking at that, there's an obvious decline of views from the first chapter to the most recent chapter. And it declines in stages, not just a sharp...

    Google Drive, Youtube down for me.

    Yeah, I can't write now since I do all my writing on GDoc

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    It's a genre where the popular stuff are mostly pandering, wish-fulfillment stuff.

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    The twist happened months ago though so I can't see it even if I wanted to since the history doesn't go that far. I still love the trope though. It's way obvious that Mufasa is going to die even early into the story. I don't think that's a good example. Isekai isn't really a genre where...

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    I don't like doing something different just to be different to be honest. Seeing how they're the protag's parents, yeah, they appear a lot. And a sudden switch of protagonist would just make people more angry. Too bad I don't have any beta readers. Indeed. It's just hard to gauge whether...

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    Well, I suppose I can't judge that for myself, can I? That would be worse, no? It wouldn't make sense, unless he's a psycho or something. Oh yeah, they would. We've spent 45 chapters with them after all. Indeed. But I don't know how to objectively assess whether the execution is successful...

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    Yep. I've thought about that aspect long and hard before I even started the drama. That's why I also try to show the growth and anguish of the MC from those events. It compounds into future events as well. Hopefully, my story fulfills both. My readers do care about the characters who got...

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    Hah, maybe it's not a wish-fuilfillment story after all. But I feel a story with a loyal and devoted harem of beautiful girls automatically makes it a wish-fulfillment, no matter how tough the protag has it. Thankfully, I don't think my story is like that. It's just a couple of sad moments and...

    Maybe. Like I said, they don't seem to like "weak" MCs.

    Hmm, maybe this is what happened with my story. I'm not sure really. No reviews or comments have gone into detail about it.

    Well, I certainly hope my drama doesn't count on that list.

    (Un) fortunately, my story's drama lasts quite a lot longer than that. And a lot of my (former) readers don't like that.

    Marketing is just as important as the quality of the product itself, believe it or not.

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    I should write drama only if it's like Shield Hero where the drama only comes from the outside, meaning, the MC is rarely, if ever, wrong or flawed. So it's just him being mistreated by the world. And the revenge must be there. The bad guys must be humiliated in some way, not just killed in an...

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    I tried throwing a little drama into my harem wish-fulfillment isekai. Ended up alienating a lot of my audience, resulting in quite the low score and growth in views. :s_tongue: Should've just stuck with the smart, overpowered MC trope that people love.

    A world of normalised cultural necromancy.

    Exactly what one of my villains wanted. :s_tongue:
