If anything I'd tell you to go to WuxiaWorld and going nuts.

No, when you say something as "it´s pretty good","it´s also pretty interesting", I will assume you honestly think is nothing but pretty good. Which frankly with all real life courtesy aside "I respect your opinion", I really don´t. I think so much lower of you for thinking self-jerk fantasies are good.

Is not about secret club, is just you´re liking shit that a 12-years old like. I assume people to post here to be 18+, and with that an 18+ taste, more or less. But you are worse than normal harem shit faggots.
>>
>>134833900
Well the concept is flawed but what make it worse is that all these series are narou shit written by otaku with no life or writing experience who only like these type of characters because they don't have to work hard to get anything.

Being reincarnated with your memories intact and self awareness even as a baby basically mean easy mode, it's probably the dream of all these writers and people who read these shit

And since they have no writing experience it also reads like shit but considering you guys are okay with reading machine translated trash I guess you don't care about that

Agree. These all boils down to shitty people not being satisfied with their life, have have to resort to 120% escape fantasy tale about giving a second chance with all the perks a failure could wish for, the looks, the skills, the talents, the girls, the love they could never acquire. Almost like taking a drug that would give them that momentarily high to take them away from their shitty life. Now before someone say "b-but anime is just that, escapism", there´s a difference between experiencing unique worlds to wallow in your own semen.

Well of course it is. That's the point. It's entertainment, not high-grade art.

No, it's not like porn because porn is typically about instant gratification and thus isn't subject to the standards of most fiction. Porn is mainly a device, basically.

LNs and WNs posture among other kinds of literature and therefore should be judged accordingly. My judgement: they're shit.

My judgement? You are a retard.
Ever studied greek/latin literature and Catharsis?
Each work aims at a different emotion and purifies it . And just cause the starting point is the same it does not mean all runners are equal.
MT does a good job in describingva realistic characther (cause many jap otaku are really like that) and tries to have them understand that it is important to work hard and making friends.
Now stop with your shitty bait and go madturbate cause any book , even one of math formulas, are literally porn for brain.

I guess you´re the OP, since only a moron would put non erotica fiction as the same level as porn material. If you think all you can get from stories are pleasures akin to masturbation, then indeed, reincarnation garbage does fit you. Hell, some might even seem like masterpieces to you then.

You type like a caveman.

Also, it's not bait. I meant what I said. And MT is not unique in any way. The "turns into a new person in a video game inspired world" brand of fiction is practically a genre on its own and yes, the otaku is usually like an otaku (go figure, so fucking hard to accomplish when written by otaku) and many of them have the MC become some kind of hero with a lot of friends and more importantly lovers.

Get educated on manga/anime/LNs, plebius maximus.

They are not. They are filling the industry with low quality works. Because they are the things that are selling. And that happening means more creative work have to take a backstep now that they are a risk investment. Why backup this unproven series when we got a working formula? That formula being recycle the same shitty thing. Having a bland guy so the reader/watcher can self-insert to, then give that bland guy everything a failed human being ever wanted on a silver platter.

Reading these things doesn´t improve you as a human being, you don´t get a more useful vocabulary since they are written by people with a poor education, you don´t improve as a human being by wanting to become a better person, why should you? You don´t learn anything of worth. Is a complete time wasted. Might as well as someone mentioned watch porn, at least that would reduce your chances for prostate cancer.

My problems with Overlord are actually unique to the genre, and overall I find the series to be a disappointment. It actually was pretty interesting at the start, and the dickless papa bones makes for a good "harem" lead in that I don't mind his having a harem at all (since it's really more like a family). But so much time in the series is wasted on unimportant bullshit.

Why do half the things in this series have "God" in the name? It gets confusing. You have the original actual Gods, but also the people who earn the title God because they reached the rank of God possibly in a school of swordsmanship that is also named God and they speak languages also called God but which have no given reason to be named God in the first place, and let's not get into all the shit called King from Dragon King to King Dragon King, and then mixing and matching with God to create the Sword God King who learned Sword God from the Sword God to fight Dragon God who needs to fight Demon God who used to be Dragon God but then shenanigans happened so we ended up with Technique God who invented Sword God and North God and Water God (who aren't Gods, and Water God doesn't fight with water either even though Sword God fights with sword), this Sword God (which is a style not a person unlike Sword God) was learned by Sword King because she wants to keep up with her osananananajimi (who never became a god but he does speak god including Beast God and Demon God (which probably existed before the actual Demon God) and also Fighting God (not the same thing as Fighting God, and since Fighting God is a suit of armor of probably doesn't speak Fighting God itself).

Honestly Gifting is my favorite since it actually does the premise in a nice way despite being a parody of these stories. MC isn't a shitty self-insert guy who is bloody perfect at everything he does, and the harem doesn't drool all over him.

It's by far my favorite simply because it tends to point out the silly parts of the reincarnation stories. And I've read pretty much all of them just because I enjoy reading shit for some reason.
>>
Give me a reincarnation/transported to a different world LN that's not haremshit, where the protagonist is at most surrounded by 2 girls that actively want his d and a bunch of bros.

Aside from Log Horizon and Overlord, I mean.
>>
>>134834975
>They are filling the industry with low quality works. Because they are the things that are selling.

So? Capitalism working as expected.

> Reading these things doesn´t improve you as a human being

I'm all for self improvement but you can't change much, and can't do much if your environment sucks.

> Might as well as someone mentioned watch porn, at least that would reduce your chances for prostate cancer.

See, you are almost there. This IS porn, emotional porn for disenfranchised men who just want some escapism.

Nothing, absolute nothing wrong with that.
>>
>>134837488
Well, I just mentioned it but I suppose Gifting counts. Main harem is three girls max, and the main girl isn't even interested and is more like the MC's eternal bro/hate buddy. Other two girls do eventually develop romantic interest but they don't lust after him, and it takes five volumes for that development to happen.

Not really focused on haremshit at all, and more on the antics of a woefully impractical party composition getting into horrible situations. I'd suggest giving at least the first novel a try and see if it suits your taste.

Kumo Desu ga, Nani Ka?

Magi's Grandson

First two are female MC stories though, and the last is of questionable quality.

>>134834312
"Gods" in Mushoku Tensei were just titles given to people who were seen as the very best.
>>
>>134837835
yeah, you pretty much have to make the mc a girl if you dont want harem end. This is why a lot of writters now do the whole gender bender "i was a 40 year old neet and became a little girl" thing. This conveniently cock blocks any men from dicking the mc, and prevents the mc from accumulating vaginas.

Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is another example of this. Remove benis from mc = remove harem end.
>>
>>134837995
Well, Magi's Grandson just has him stick with one girl, and according to spoilers, it pretty much stays like that throughout the whole story.

It's not impossible, but it seems a lot of writers can't help it.

None of those stories are gender-bender stories though.

The gender doesn't really matter in Kumo since the MC doesn't even interact with anyone other than monsters for half the series. And when she finally does, she still barely speaks with anyone and mostly just goes around scheming shit.

The thing I like most about Gifting is that Kazuma isn't depicted as a more right than thou sort of character, but rather someone who makes mistakes, tries to cover up mistakes, and tries to rectify his mistakes. He has a lot of flaws as a person, but he's probably one of the few LN characters that I would classify as heroic with what he does. Not only that, but he's just as interesting as all the girls and characters around him. Most of the time, mcs tend to just be shit and boring.

It's nice to see him have an actual personality to begin with. He isn't just "obligatory male MC" but a character named Kazuma, who acts like a scumbag and looks after himself first and foremost, but he does care about other people; at least he a level of responsibility for them when he messes up.

It's good to see that he isn't always right either. In fact he rarely is in the moral right, other ones tend to have protagonist centric morality in a major way. He's called Scumzuma for good reason by his teammates.

Though I feel like he ends up suffering a bit too much sometimes (the female orc thing comes to mind). I hope the author eases up on that a tad for the next volume.

He does a lot of good though. A lot of times he's initially unwilling, but he always comes through. He's always one of the people who fights on the frontlines despite being so weak. He's actually really heroic and a wonderful comrade despite his shortcomings in personality.

He brings a lot of trouble onto himself too for that matter with the way he acts.

Definitely, but the entire crew is that way for the most part, which is half the reason why I love them so much. The dysfunctional nature and how much trouble they bring upon themselves is half the fun.

As much as people hate Aqua I think she's a lot like Kazuma, which makes their dynamic interesting. I'm glad that they don't have any romance between them since it makes their relationship kind of interesting. Very similar, but they end up hating each other yet they are inseparable for some reason. It's really nice to see a main girl who isn't a love interest to the MC for some reason.

Though I'm kind of surprised nobody has really brought this up in the story yet. Maybe if Aqua ever gets a focal volume we'll see something along those lines.

>>134840696
I admit I'm inclined to agree, though I'd rather make babies with Yunyun personally.

Kazuma and Aqua do like each other, or rather by now the two are just stuck with each other. They actually do care for each other a lot I think, more so than initially at least.
>>
>>134841312
I like how the first thing the two do when they get pissed of is try to strangle each other. Just a fun relationship all around, even though she brings a lot of trouble to Kazuma (not that he doesn't bother her just as much).

I do think they care about each other, but their similar personalities really clash a lot. As much as they joke about the other being tsundere, I legit think they actually are tsundere for each other in a way. Non-romantically though.

I think you'll like it, Gifting has a lot of appeal from the humor alone in my opinion. Also the characters have a lot of personality to them, so if that's your thing you'll probably dig it.

As for the translations, there are seven (soon to be eight) volumes released in Japan, along with a spin off series. So far only 4 are fully translated with volume 5 almost finished.

Translator uploads weekly and is really consistent for the most part (though there has been monthly gaps between volumes sometimes). Translations are definitely readable, with minor grammar errors here and there. If you're on mobile someone made PDF's and Epubs of every complete volume so far.

Check Skythewood if you're interest has been piqued. Though be aware that it is a parody of the genre.

None of them as far as I know. Makoto is turned off by dealing with Mio and Tomoe. I heard he later gets a more normal girl for the group that Tsukuyomi sent to help him, a miko from Earth.

Fun side note the girl that is the president of the archery club is pissed because from her point of view he ran off after not answering her confession. She plans to chase him to Europe since the cover story for his other world transfer that he went to school in Europe for some reason.
