Cross-posted from “What’s up with the isekai genre? Are there any good isekais out there?” by @Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com in !manga@ani.social


It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn’t read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it’s kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just “guilty pleasures”? The only one I’ve been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.
