Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?

But what the hell, I’m pretty sure there’s more isekai now than other genres/settings. It’s gotten to a point that if I see the tag I just move on.

    Harry Potter is isekai. The Wings of Merlin by TA Baron is an isekai. Percy Jackson is an isekai.

    The problem isn’t the genre. The problem is that the metric became a target for cheapasses with no imagination who want that trend money.

    This is the same shit that happens in every form of media when production becomes more accessible. Idiots pick up the fire and run with it.
