I’m tired of generic pandering character art, indistinguishable from any other isekai adaptation.
I’m tired of potentially interesting plot development getting swept under the rug in favor of pointless unfunny comedy, meanwhile, everything relevant to the story happens off-screen. I’m tired of the boring magic-school settings with absolutely no plot other than finding ways to show off how much more powerful the protagonist is than everyone else. Jumps from a violent nation-wide demon attack, then magic-school comedy, then two fanservice episodes back to back! I’m tired of 12-year old level writing quality the story I’m tired of narcissistic overpowered protagonists, lacking any personality, only existing to be praised and loved by every cardboard cutout character in the show. I’m tired of the same ubiquitous ‘isekai truck’ killing some random asshole before he even gets a single character trait, all for the sake of reincarnating him in an otaku power-fantasy wet dream. I’m tired of all the carbon-copied isekai light novel adaptations like Kenja no Mago, but Japan keeps pumping them out because it’s what makes money. “The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.” Kenja no Mago follows Shin Wolford's high school life in the capital as he makes new friends, learns about the world, and fights off the various forces of evil surrounding him and his city. However, living a normal life is impossible, as he is established as a local celebrity almost as soon as he arrives. As a result, Shin enrolls in the kingdom's Magic Academy to hone his skills and mature among other teenagers. On his 15th birthday however, it becomes apparent that Shin only developed his combat skills and nothing else, leaving him with blatant social awkwardness, a lack of common sense, and a middling sense of responsibility. As the years pass, Shin displays unparalleled talent in both magic casting and martial arts, much to Merlin's constant amazement. This orphan is Shin, a normal salaryman in modern-day Japan who was reincarnated into Merlin's world while still retaining his past memories. Preferring a quiet life however, he secludes himself deep in the rural woods, dedicating his time to raising an orphan that he saved. In the kingdom of Earlshide, Merlin Wolford was once regarded as a national hero, hailed for both his power and achievements.
