It's all so tiresome

[Rhaps]

One format I enjoy of reincarnation stories is that the MC that doesn't feel like they are the MC, like, treating them more as a force of nature and not a person is really refreshing and interesting

I'm tired of being tired. I tried hard, I get tired. I do nothing, I get tired of it. So tired...

I absolutely agree on the overuse of both the trope and the word "reincarnated/reincarnation" as an easy concept to infodump and pull in drug addicts, the core concept of reincarnation (not the isekai badtardization of said concept) was interesting. It actually was the exact opposite of what isekai propagates; a character being forced by or inclined to act like something in the same way as their previous iteration.
Isekai just shoves A into B and is done with it. No further conflict, no crisises, no defying pre-established destiny (outside of ("""low-key""") isekai'd being the mostestest awesomestestes ever). It's like what happens everywhere else, they take something interesting and dumb it down so much it loses everything that made it interesting in the first place...

I don't know about y'all, but I'm alive and I got music in my soul!



That is all.

The absolute amount of reincarnation stories is insane.

Reincarnated as an [x], reincarnated in [x],Reborn witha system! Reborn as an OP goddess of cultivation! Reborn as a loli! reborn as a futa with a harem of pretty girls! Reborn AS THE NEW LEADER OF THE THIRD REICH?!

It's all so boring.

I get it i am kinda being a dickhead for being the fun police but dear mother of God i feel the need to rewrite my entire idea now that i see the amount of the same shit over and over and over

No, I totally get it.

Occasionally, I like Isekai, but I think in the middle of watching Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu, I realized why I hat the genre so badly. Let's back up. The protagonist in this has only three cheats, most of which are reasonable:
1. Healing/Regeneration
2. Language
3. Dimension Shift.

Only the last is really broken, so it isn't even the cheats. It's the fact that, "I'm going to go to my world, which has alot of issues, and raid it for items that I can sell for gold, then I'm gonna get rich in both worlds."

We see this play out in reality with misguided people running illegal immigration stuff. But if the people imported can't understand the culture enough, they wind up as dependents. This is turn means you are not importing assets, you are importing problems. Plagues, race wars, people who don't know how to use stoves and instead gather wood for a fire (burning down the apartment), to say nothing of drug trade, and sex trafficking.

This dawned on me when I saw her complaining the about the bathrooms. Suppose she gave them toilets. Solves the problem, right? Wrong. Most toilets do not operate without electricity. So you are importing a system that has rules people are used to with one that has rules that make them dependent on more systems you come up with (electricity, a piping system, a waste disposal system, a clean water intake system). A lighter? Seems simple, right? Well, the flint system we see them use is just percussion of rocks and such. Easy. Lighters require metallurgy, oil production, etc. These technologies don't improve life, they make your inability to cope with their world into importing your world's problems. Modern Japan is busy and stressed! Why in the hell should you take an idyllic farm country, and basically behave like some awful land developer, ruining their happiness in the process? By the way, these modern tech systems typically involve lifelong work, and you never get to enjoy it.

Now, there are isekai I like:

1. Hack Sign
2. SAO
3. Magic Knight Rayearth
4. Inuyasha
5. Ascendance of a Bookworm

All of them have in common that they have no "cheats", no Truck-kun, and have a full-fleshed system. Only the last one mentions trying to upgrade the world, and only because the Main (literally, her name is Main, pronounced Myne) wants to read books. Implications of trying to do that, however, are explored, with mention that inventing a printing press requires a great deal of care to avoid accidentally starting a war, as hand-copiers get put out of business. The second to the last, she does bring tech from the future with her, but you know? It's only for personal use. She doesn't share alot of industrial secrets with the feudal era. The feudal era gets to remain feudal, and only Inuyasha and company benefit.

Reborn AS THE NEW LEADER OF THE THIRD REICH

To be fair,Tanya is pretty interesting. Nothing beats the ol' evil protagonist.

 

[ManwX]

i kind of agree with a few points but not all. maybe its a bit too done with isekai etc but it always pops up new ideas.

There does seem to be a lot of it, especially as someone new coming in and seeing it filling up pages and pages of navigations on the site. But I figure if people are having fun doing it and it's not hurting anybody... who am I to tell them to do otherwise. The discussion I see here about there being no new ideas is also sort of moot. There are always going to be trends that people jump onto for their own reasons. Some chase clout, others are drawn to ideas they haven't worked with before. Just do your own thing man, it'll be fine.

You must calmly but firmly tell them "no more isekai."

 

[Speedwagon889]

That's the curse of popularity. Someone makes something good at some point and it blows up, then it gets a ton of cheap copycats who think they understand why it got so popular to begin with but actually have no idea. It's how you end up with a decade of vampire books and movies, thousands of magic school books, and potentially a million isekai stories. It's no big deal, ultimately it's just a trend and you're free to ignore it. I've used my home screen tag filters to block anything I'm not interested in reading to begin with, I'd recommend doing that as well

 

[Rezcore]

Well, It's quite simple...

You know that story the OP is shitting on? I'm writing it. Right now. You wanna shit on my story? You go right ahead, But I'm gonna tell you my opinion of your opinion right back at you.

Like I said in the very first line:
I'm getting tired of people telling me they are getting tired.

I'm getting tired.... ?
