Slice of life saikou! I do not really understand the hate for slice of life. Well, I kind of, but to each their own. What I love about slice of life isekai is that it makes for a better down-to-earth self-insert. I'm not ashamed of that. The author does it, so there's no reason why the readers can't. The following are farming isekai stories, at least at the start, that I found interesting. One more thing is just how overworked are Japanese workers? A lot of the protagonist in these stories are stressed out and tired salarymen, you know.
Manga | Breaking Out of RPG/Adventure Party Role Stereotypes
Roles don't need to be followed to a T. There's no need to be rigid. Be versatile and follow what your heart tells you. Hmm... I didn't mean for that to be motivational. Haha. Well, after webtoons, here's another list for manga whose protagonists thought outside the box and made their skills/class their own version.
Martial Arts Manga That You Probably Missed
This is my 101st recommendation. It's hard to believe that I've posted that much to date. Crazy. It's a good thing that I cleaned up the the website a bit and made the format uniform across all rec posts before the number got even bigger. But, I digress. The manga series that I will be recommending are a little bit down-to-earth which means that they're more realistic until some supernatural elements are thrown in. Martial arts & adventure are a man's romance; it's "otoko no roman" as the Japanese say it.
Manga Whose Protagonist’s Skill Is Misunderstood
We just love to label everything. Nowadays, we basically have tier-lists of everything. However, this can also easily lead to biases that often lead to blind faith to society's standards. In the real world, this is bad, but in the fantasy world... It can often be disastrous. Well, the following are rather mellow even though the main characters have bad experiences due to having a trash skill (but not really).
Manga Whose Protagonist Was Kicked Out of His Party
It doesn't come as a surprise that a trope wasn't one when it was first introduced. A truck sends an otaku to another world, an impoverished guy obtains a cheat to turn his life around, a game addict leads the pack IRL when the game manifests in reality, a failed cultivator receives the legacy of an ancient powerhouse and so on, there are a lot of tropes that have been used to the point of banality. The titular trope maybe "new", but it's also getting saturated. The following are still at least half decent though.
Isekai Manga With a Jack-Of-All-Trades Protagonist
Isekai protagonists usually get game-breaking cheats, but sometimes they don't. Then, it will be up to them to work a way out to survive and thrive in the new world using their ingenuity and intellect. Usually, their go-to would be crafting skills or life skills, but what do I know, I'm not an isekai protagonist.
Manga That Take Me Back to My Childhood
There were barely any blog posts last week because I was held hostage by Mage Adam XD. It's a novel about a supercomputer isekaied into a mage world. But, I digress. These following manga remind me of those days so long ago when I was a kid, and the world was so simple.
Isekai Manga Where an Entire Location and Its Inhabitants Are Transported to Another World
I really had a hard time coming up with the title for this list. The idea is basically a recommendation for stories where the protagonists and their "homes" or a part of it are sent to another world.
Action Manga With a Handicapped Protagonist
They are cool. When a protagonist doesn't let a disability hinder them from achieving their goals, it is very inspiring. Especially, when they're actually fighting their enemies, and they don't see their disability as a disadvantage but a boon. I'm like "Yeah, dude, don't let that punk look down on you.".
Manga | Using Your Past Life Profession in Another World
When someone wakes up in another world, knowing that their past life job or career is forward compatible with their current life must bring a certain amount of comfort, I bet. Of course, it's not going to be completely the same and they'll have to make adjustments, however, I'll argue that it's sort of a cheat by itself especially if they were an expert on it.
Iyashi's Long-windedness
