Overlord_Intro.jpg
470 KB, 1793x986
There has to be atleast a dozen manga out there that came out recently which are "Reborn into an MMO world with huge power"

I don't get it .hack happened years ago and didn't create this sort of boom. What did it?
>>
>>135188959
Uh, Overlord isn't exactly a reincarnation manga.
>>
They saw SAO make tons of autist-bucks and decided to jump on born.

It's not fucking hard to see.
>>
First of all, you had the boom of light novels catering to otaku tendencies, like OreImo.

Then SAO came along, and battle harems are the new shit.

Now, LNs are slowly but surely entering pure escapism. Suicide rates are up in Japan, population rates are down. Work in Japan is moreso torture, and the societal norms Japan enforces prevent anyone from going against the grain, unless you decide to become a NEET.

So ultimately the self-insertion itch that LNs scratch goes from "my cute little sister likes the same things I do and doesn't think I'm a freak" to "I'm a gamer and I can get tons of pussy and save the day" to "I just want to die, but wake up in a world from one of my vidja gaymes where I know how everything works and I can quickly become overpowered and strong and also have a harem."

In the end, it all boils to Japan having such a shit society, that they just want to live in a new one.
>>
>>135189557
Concise and eloquent
>>
>>135189557
>they just want to live in a new one.
Pretty sure that's what most of /a/ wanted
>>
>>135189557
thanks.....that was very informative

it makes more sense now that they're either
A: I'm a really good guy who will save everyone eventually
or
B:I'm a bad guy who does bad things and i'm so awesome
>>
Better storys than FFTA
>>
>>135189305
Just like how dot hack ripped off sao and failed miserably
>>
>>135189653
True, but here we have better work ethics, and people actually still have children here.

>>135189687
Yeah, LNs are the Japanese equivalent of young adult fiction. It's all escapism.
>>
LNs need more instances of MC becoming a loli so I can self insert and live my long awaited fantasy of becoming a little girl.
>>
Are there more than three LNs of guys becoming monsters?

There's skeleton king, super mimic goblin, and slime

like literally no struggling from the main character at all...he just becomes a monster and either has or gains super powers in like the first chapter.
>>
>>135190781
There's a lot of WNs with MCs reborn as monsters. Goblin Kingdom, Kumo Desu Ga, My Entire Class Has Been Reincarnated – I Became the Weakest Skeleton!, Dragon Life, Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg. Those are the ones I can mention offhand other than the ones you mentioned.
>>
>>135188959
Light Novels of this genre since 2012... noticing a recent boom. I'm sorry but being slow irks the fuck out of me.
>>
>>135191122
thankyou....I'mma go check these guys out
>>
>>135191122

the ones I mentioned are mangas. I guess these others haven't gotten enough attention
>>
>>135191122
Kumo Desu Ga had a translated manga release of chapter 0 today
>>
>>135189557
> Suicide rates are up in Japan

>>135188959
Overlord could be fantastic , sadly that "i'm the only human lord here" is getting boring fast.
>>
>>135191201
I think that's more just LNs being about MMOs in general.

The reborn thing is more recent.
>>
>>135190025
dothack was too ambitious
>>
>>135192522
....well he's not human and thats the point.....but

I think that's something alot of the mangas are missing....

Other players,
only shield hero has player enemies, and new gate has a player ally.
>>
>>135192746
>I think that's something alot of the mangas are missing....
you mean LNs right? You're reading the novels right? And not just the mangas?
>>
What's so good about mmos at all?
>>
I am going to enjoy Gifting. Even though I know it's going to be a shitty adaption, but on the off chance that DEEN actually cares to make this funny, I will watch til the end. I just seriously hope it doesn't go overboard with the fanservice. Gifting has a fair amount, but the more important part is the humor.
>>
I personally don't mind.
>>
>>135192589
LNs actually about MMOs in general >>> transported/reincarnated to world based around JRPG/MMO mechanics.

Wish there was more translated stuff besides all the garbage Chinese/Korean shit.
>>
>>135192828
Right now? Nothing. In another 20 years? Maybe something.
>>
>>135192870
Is this the one that they keep pointing out all the slaves in?

>>135192790
I only read shield hero, re:monster, and overlord LN and desu overlord was the only one that didn't make me wanna stop reading

still all three are kinda about total dickwads, only ainz isn't a complete douche canoe
>>
>>135189557
Well that's what happens when you get a socialist society. You have no one to competete against so there is no reason for anyone to live while the same society still spouts nonesense like freedom and the females being the bitches they are and not getting rid of oldfags who are nothing but a cancer to society. No oldfags, you get your rest when you die not before.
>>
>>135188959
You have to copy the leader, unfortunately leader is far too good but thankfully its also untelevisable due to main character's sex scenes being important plot points. So you look at the other big hits, you see SAO who despite turning into mediocre got huge sales and made its author rich. You copy it without making the same mistakes while still adding enough of the same formula to make it sell. End up as the Gary-stu Harem Novel #123141, selling 7 volumes and getting 1 cour anime.
>>
>>135192933
I doubt it since WoW is the formula for all mmos now.
>>
>>135193002
When is one of these losers gonna make one with an alien
>>
>>135192983
>only ainz isn't a complete douche canoe
Yup, volume 7 or 9 wasn't douchey at all.
>>
>>135192933
occulus rift compatible first person MMOs might start up soon....but first maybe we could get some where you're world building first.

Imagine an MMO where you make the world, items, and npc. Overlord talked about making the dungeon/guild items and NPCs.....stuff like that would be amazing....you know actually having a real stake in a game
>>
>>135193090
I'm pretty sure there is one.
>>
>>135193129
"complete"

he fucks some shit up, but he's not an asshole... he's pretty much the villain right now don't get me wrong. Still he's a nice guy if you know him
>>
>>135193129
Of course not. He fucked up those thieves because they lied about his guildmates, and he killed the Kingdom's army at not!Lelouch's request.
>>
>>135193258
>>135193318

I dunno. Still kind of bitter about how volume 7 panned out. But I suppose I could just blame the author for putting up a fucking poll.
>>
>>135193184
Is it about an ayy lmao stuck in a game where nobody believes he's an alien and he's just kind of stuck there like Tsukasa from dothack

That's my meme idea
>>
>>135192983
No, this is the one that's a parody of all the reincarnation stuff. It's pretty good though, where the mc doesn't lose in personality to the girls and it's quite funny. It's overall a very good read and one of the funniest LNs I've read, and funnier than most books I've read. Not exactly Discworld funny, but definitely slapstick funny.
>>

It's for you to believe it or not but I'm working in a neuroscience lab and one of the teams in the uni is working on an immersion pod.

I think you can write that in Japanese and it would get an anime if you add enough girls and one obligatory trap.

I don't like dothack but it should be closer to dothack than to any trash LN or WN where it's a power fantasy thing

the point is he stays that way even after getting literally EVERYTHING HE WANTS AND MORE

fucker becomes a god by the end of it and has alternate versions of himself going to different realities to do whatever he wants. And that's not even the most gary stu thing that happens

The LN fixes that by sending him to yet another world after cal mira.
>>
>>135194200
Wasn't trying to insult you or anything. I just find it silly that people want the feeling of being powerful in a game where everyone can be as powerful as well.

yeah but it's their work they put into it.... thats why i'd rather like to play an immersive mmo (i talked about occulus rift earlier) that you created items, buildings, and npcs at the very least.

i think i keep trying out different MMOs in hopes that one would be awesome.

>>135194526
eh...i'm not one to turn my nose up at cool shit coming out. I just don't think we're there yet. We have the tech just no one has really made it easy and cheap for teh common man and until then no one really bothers

which goes to show why overlord is one of the most popular ones. It's refreshing

Well Ainz is a unique case.

>>135192589
My mistake, what I meant to say is that these Light Novels were all Web Novels in 2012. These kind of stories have been in the works for 3 years, the reason why you've got a wave is cause publishers snagged a successful one, and there are still a lot of them in the works.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a wuxia boom in 2 years at the current trends.

>>
>>135194709
Considering how most harem LN mcs are impotent, no. If we are talking about reincarnation, most definitely 100% yes. It all comes down to how much they want to fuck, where if it's all they think about it's fucking annoying.
>>
>>135194499
That pic. I just want one from the grand family scene

>>135194596
He just wants to fuck but ends up fucking shit up. It gets incredibly better once it reaches the first turning point(end of second volume) and only gets better. MC is good, incredibly talented yet not a Gary Sue, even when it seems he is. Don't get spoilers if you want to read it though.
>>
>>135195206
Majority of chinese MC's are pricks, a lot of authors are god damn awful to show how clever their characters are yet still bearing humbleness. Concepts like wealth and unrealistic luck, like lottery winning for a super rare ingredient is the norm, love interests for really stupid reasons at times.
There are 3 though that despite the flaws would do very well on my radar.

And then proceed to murder entire clans because of said inconsequential shit. And then other pricks attempt to murder them also over inconsequential shit. Rinse repeat with escalating power levels for several hundred chapters.
>>
>>135195624
No, he's the magic toolbox rogue of the party. His job is pretty much utility. It's just that stealing things is also part of his utility and is probably one of his most valuable skills. It tends to after the most valuable thing on a person, sometimes panties, other times junk.
>>
>>135195798
Classics like Water Margin are incredibly good. Also wuxiaworld ones are ok.

>>135195946
>inconsequential
Which nothing in Wuxia is. Read on the subject and the Chinese beliefs. It feels stupid without knowing those. It's like playing a wizard in DnD without knowing what spells are.

>>135195645
Yeah have to agree on this completely, I quite enjoy the stories but reborn themes are getting to me since I did a manga marathon on the genre before jumping into WN/LN.
>>
>>135193337
You don't get his character at all. He said it in vol1 I don't see these people as more than bugs or small animals.
He's infinitely kind to nazaricks, and infinitely cruel to not nazaricks. It was much more obvious when he didn't blink when he learned how many demi killed and captured and his only kindness was to kill all the children. As said in vol 7, the only kindness in nazarick is mercy.
Of Foresight, loli got the most kindness. The others are living a unending hell.
Its not supposed to make you feel comfortable. He's selfish as fuck, downright super evil, and you should be feeling upset at the things he does especially since you know he doesn't mind and even gets a little joy out of it like when he spawned 5 sheeps.
>>

Friendly reminder that fully immersive anything is impossible until we get two things

Quantum computers and True AI. Otherwise procedural generation of content is impossible.
>>
>>135200108
procedural generation is pretty advanced, thats not the issue
We have quantum computers, but they are really huge and need really low temperatures to operate so usually only top companies can afford one
A.I is comparably advanced but since the concept of programming consciousness is not understood there's quite a few barriers
I'd say 5-10 years before a serious headset mmo is on the market. Its not that hard. It won't have the kind of features that Ygg does of course.

About as long as it takes it to realize that building alternate realities is like, 99% of what humans want it to do for them. And there's a good chance that's what it wants to do for itself as well. As long as any part of that becomes a reality, the law of numbers takes over, and sim theory prevails.

Question is whether sim theory means anything special to an AI. I'm not sure it would.

Re: Monster
>>
Is there a "transported to another world" story where the main character is pretty lost and struggles because they have to quickly learn how to survive without modern conveniences (like people who end up lost in the woods or castaway on islands), instead of becoming a magical genius with first world knowledge?
>>
>>135204793
Arifureta, MC and his whole class gets summoned into another world as heroes. He gets the short end of the stick by having the lowest stats of everyone else in the class and a useless class (transmutation user but nothing really amazing like an alchemist would be).

Long story short, some guy who was incredibly jealous of him being favoured by a girl shoots him with a fireball as he was holding down a behemoth with his transmutation magic and falls into the abyss of the great dungeon everyone was in. He manages to surive thanks to a special liquid from very rare ore. After eating fresh kill, he acquires monster skills and gets buff as fuck. But it could have killed him if it were not from the restorative liquid.

His other-world knowledge lets him build a railgun and a bazooka in the later chapters
>>
>>135194499
It goes to shit after he gets all the wives, though.
>>
>>135205492
His psychological change is pretty fun too. As the series starts he is a beta who doesn't want no trabble like jackie chan but then he turns into literal monster sense ethics. It gets worse as time goes on.
Also he turns down all of the girls that try to get into his harem because he's so laser focused on just surviving. After the first one they have to risk death to even get a chance of getting in and the MC never figures out why they like him at all.
Towards the end of the series he just sort of stares into the distance when he gets another confession as the girls that stuck around the longest finally get his attention.
>>
>>135206015
>psychological change
the author was literally writing in the afterwords of chapters that he wasn't quite sure what MC's character was like yet and only a dozen chapters in did he finally settle on "okay, he protects his waifus and treats killing his enemies like it's nothing".

>>135205492
>His other-world knowledge lets him build a railgun and a bazooka in the later chapters
And this was the biggest bullshit ever, and the author didn't even go to the effort of trying to justify it or show us the difficulties he went through with building his asspulls and the process of trial and improvement.
>>
>>135206216
He did it by substituting the actual science and tech with pure magic power which he had in abundance to get a similar result. He did this with all the stuff he created, which is why his stuff could only really be used by his party with their crazy stats.
>>
>>135206216
>author didn't even go to the effort of trying to justify
I think its clear that was never the point. He just wanted the MC to Doraemon shit. It gets more obvious as the series goes on that the final product is the only important thing that the author wants to talk about. Most of the MC's creations should have killed him and everyone around him or just not have worked or been extremely unstable. That would cut down on the fun factor so I'm okay with it.
>the author was literally writing in the afterwords of chapters that he wasn't quite sure what MC's character was like yet and only a dozen chapters in did he finally settle on "okay, he protects his waifus and treats killing his enemies like it's nothing".
Yeah I guess I took liberties in my imagination with how his progression went. It made sense to me at least, he was always a nice guy deep down it just took a sex master vampire to bring it out.
>>
>>135207053
He has a harem but the loli vampire had won since ever. Everyone else is fighting for second place.

>No, I mean what do people find appealing about mmos?
depends on the person, but usually it's just the potential for the most realised 'world' one can step into, filled with like minded players. Inspiring a sense of wanderlust and camaraderie, some trading, some action... it's ideally a mixed bag of everything great about gaming.

In it's current state the MMO genre is fucking terrible though. It was better a decade and a bit ago when the worlds were still mostly player-driven sandboxes instead of themeparks where no-one needs to talk to each other

It is.
If you've ever played tabletop, you'll realize you NEED strong AI and even stronger procedural generation if you ever want to translate that kind of freedom into videogame format.
Current procedural generation isn't even close.
If the player ever decide "fuck this, I'm doing something else" as players are wont to do, you now have to plan all sorts of shit and chuck out all your previous planning.
Humans have enough trouble with that and they only have to think about general consequences and effects, not the environment that would have to be represented in a visual format.
There is a very long way to go before immersive virtual worlds can be represented digitally.

Nah, I don't think we'll see that shit in our life time. Quantum computing is only in its infancy, they're expensive and they really can't do much yet. By that, I mean they are currently less powerful/effective than a normal computer. I did a paper on the subject for my masters thesis a couple years back. At the time, quantum computers could only do simple math calculations. I don't expect they've improved by much since then.

I can't wait for some sort of breakthrough on it. It would mean so much to metaphysics.

>>
>>135209901
Why the hell would you think that? The series made it pretty obvious that neither of Kouki's childhood friends felt like that around him. Shizuku's entire character development that happens later revolves around the fact that Kouki burned all those bridges with her when they were kids by ignoring her problems because of his idiotic justice boner. She falls for Hajime because of how well they get along and because Hajime is the only guy she's ever been able to trust to actually be reliable.

Actually Kouki ends up on the bad guy side in the end though he gets beaten out of it by Shizuku and Ryuutarou. When they all get back to earth he ends up dropping out after a while and going back to fantasy world to atone for his shit. When the group go back for a visit a few months later they find out he disappeared through some other world summoning him.

man he can't ever catch a break.

>>135210019
is kouki the hero guy? So, he basically became freeter ,huh.
>>
>>135210288
Better than being a NEET i guess
>>
>>135210280
Shia got summoned to another world too you know. It happened when she went to Akiba, spent a few months in that other world before Hajime showed up looking for her.
>>
>>135210396
Three months
built a hayram
best bunny
I just wonder what took him three months to find her though. He was probably 'busy'
>>
>>135210528
He might have done it as her punishment, after all she went to Akiba without her disguise artifact despite his warnings.

>>135210647
wow, thats a new level of dick even for him

>joy out of it like when he spawned 5 sheeps.
vol 9 indeed was a fun ride
>>
>>135214193
yeah out of all the volumes I think vol.9 has the best word economy and plot progression. It's just pure entertainment with no need for setup from start to finish.
There was no other volume that had that much fun in each chapter

Transworld (reincarnation, displacement, game-incarnation) stories are not even really new.
It's just an easy way to set up a setting. Character interaction can be padded with dialogue about the difference between the MC's world and the one he/she now in.

Yeah, it's a fad but the ratio of good:bad stories stay pretty much the same.

I've lately started enjoying chinese wuxia novels-after marathoning Coiling Dragon, just started Against the Gods, I Shall Seal the Heavens (pretty decent for a wuxia novel) and Perfect World (has Monster Hunter vibes)

ISSTH is probably the best one on WW.

Give Ze Tian Ji and History's Number 1 Founder a try.
>>
>>135220928
ISSTH turned me from chinese WN
I don't know if they are all like that, but everyone being a superdick was pretty hard to stomach.
Its one thing if the MC is a dick. Then all the people around him are dicks. Then his master is a bigger dick. And the people trying to actually kill him seem almost tame compared to his level of dickishness.
Its like a dick competition.
>>
>>135221011
I can't say that I agree with you, Meng Hao is pretty tame comparing to rest of wuxia MCs, the one from Martial God Asura is like revenge incarnate, exterminating clans left and right. while MC from Against the Gods is like a lewd god, while also being a dick.
>>
>>135221011
ISSTH is actually one of the nicer ones, I think. Once he gets out of the Reliance sect and into the Violet one, you'll see there's quite a number of good people in there.
>>
>>135221154
Oh? I couldn't even imagine it getting worse than meng. Glad I didn't go deeper into the chinese WNs
>>135221173
I stopped after the tournament when he was trapped in the volcano of suck with the turbocunt. I skipped ahead because I figured he'd be making some stupid pill again and it was during some pill master arc.
I swear I wish I had some of those pills that let you exude shit from your pores, extend your lifespan, make you taller and shiny, and give you magic powers.

When you think about it, ISSTH is about some 420 drug addict who does everything for his fix

Are you fuckers serious or is this a new troll meme?
>>
>>135221813
Given the way that the system seems to work usually you practically have to be super rich and powerful to even have a chance at getting to the higher levels. It seems ridiculous how many people are higher than meng considering how much everything costs just to get to the next level.
Plus meng always getting into the perfect situations to loot the fuck out of everything and still being behind in power level despite accessing ancient super techniques that no one has since ever.
>>
>>135189557
LN are for teens. Teens are not Japan society.

Meng Hao is about average when it comes to cultivation, I think. He's just got tons of drugs to make up for it.

Kuro no maou is the edgiest LN I think due to spoilers
MC(unintentionally) corrupts everyone around him without even trying. He turns a fairy into a yandere, makes a glutton into a orphanage slayer, and there's the main enemies who are a bunch of teenagers who just slaughter everyone and act completely unconcerned about it.

>>135188959

What is worse

>reborn into a mmo with godlike powers

or

>battle harem

?

SAO doesn't need to apply since its both at the same time, turning it into a gary stu wankfest
>>
>>135222889
battle harem usually ends with no sex and lots of suffering
mmo godlikes usually end with no sex and less suffering
I think the main point is the quality of the harem
