You’re getting married. congrats.

I have a feeling Shadiversity might enjoy this Isekai story

Weak MC initially.
MC is nice and manly and honorable and just, but he’s got a slight edge to him after being dumped by his old group, run by the guy who stole his big tiddy wife.

Betrayed, went on a depression bout but soon after, awakened OP powers. Not willing to take revenge, he moved on and went on a adventure.

MC bought a sickly little flat chested kemono girl as his slave (she later develops bigass watermelon tiddies) and is super nice to her. Wait, MC a slave owner? How can you justify to your readers your MC having a 12yo big tiddy slave girl who may or may not be a love interest?!

The solution: consensual slavery (HAHAHAHA). By that I mean it starts as the usual yessa massa stuff and immediately becomes “master I love you because you’re nice to me I will be with you forever can I have your kids” situation.

Generic jrpg fantasy fanfare. Rape is also there too, you know, just to get that blood flowing, to which part of the body is up to the reader.

Btw I’m pretty sure this manga is a parody because there can’t be any way this is sincere.

Edit: I enjoyed it but then again I’m down bad with no values.

What the?

That description is literally Shield Hero.

Which is not a good thing despite Shield Hero managing to make it work.

@Dustcan
Why does so much isekai stuff revolve around rape and “consensual” slavery???

I have 0 clue on what Isekai means so I’ll just leave this here:

I got a big 1tb SATA ssd for christmas. All my games can go on it, my phone got upgraded storage too, because i moved my big micro sd over to my phone after moving my games over.

I like having a big bulk drive. now i can even upgrade the m2 ssd because i have a temporary place to put the windows installation.

@CaptainXtra
Iseika is the fantasy of a normal, unordinary person suddenly going into another world and being valuable.

Because anime nowadays has gotten lazy and become derivative off it’s own derivatives.

You know the recent phenomena where AI art and such have begun to cannibalize other AI art for their “inspiration”, creating one big incestuous orgy loop of decreasing quality? Yeah anime has already been doing that for decades.

Whereas previous “consensual slavery” anime used the trope with some level of tact to tell a story, it’s now another kink bullet point to check off so the latest shitty shovelware anime can grab even glancing notice.

Literally “[Trapped] in another world”.

You ever watch Amphibia? Isekai. Owl House? Isekai. Digimon? Isekai. Alice in Wonderland? Isekai. Narnia? Isekai. Tron? Iseka.

Futurama? Spirit is there but not Isekai, it’s still Earth but in the future. Jumanji? Reverse Isekai, the other world comes here. Planet of the Apes? Looks like an Isekai but the twist reveals it isn’t.

@Dustcan
most probably a parody of the shield hero archetype except played straight.
has the same jovial attitude as 300 years killing Slime without breaking the fourth wall
fanservice is very low, surprisingly, and it’s got zero drama, aside from the recurring memories he had of his past group.
It’s lukewarm and mid all around. Very safe.
As if written to validate or perpetuate the genre, and to give the genre’s audience something to read while waiting for a more hyped work.

edit: you ninja’d me with the shovelware comment.

@CaptainXtra
as you can see, isekai’s been around for a long time.
is only recently with the formation of common tropes that isekai became a term to refer to “another world” stories that share those tropes.

so, while digimon adventures and narnia and john carter and army of darkness ARE isekai technically,

when ppl say isekai it usually means Konosuba or Shield Hero or Jobless Hero or heck, Sword Art Online.

Isekai and basic-ass anachronistic JRPG medieval fantasy kinda overlap, to the point that I consider Goblin Slayer to be Isekai, despite it NOT being one technically.

Edit: BRO, Kingdom Hearts is technically isekai.

Isaki has no meaning.

@Angrybrony
Then why do i know what it means?

@Lord WyrmSpawN
When a word can describe like such loosely connected things it’s to broad to really mean anything.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is the most superior isekai.

@WaynePonePone
The only isekai that I will ever willingly witness.

from a review of Shad’s book

you know…if Shad had written this as comedy instead of like a serious work it would probably be less cringe.

More stuff

Blud shoulda just wrote hentai I swear to god. I’ll read his hentai, no cap. This is some Sankaku Complex “how dare you woke mf get between me and my big tiddy loli” shit bruh.

@tehwatever
Others do the swords and armor stuff and aren’t all of…that.

Maybe the Shadiversity stuff should be moved to the Cringe thread.

Most other live action Batman’s have to fake a voice to sound at least intimidating. Kevin Conroy uses his normal voice and he is terrifying.

Rest in peace Kevin Conroy, the best Batman ever.

The only reason I’m still somewhat interested in Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game is to hear his final performance.

@WaynePonePone
Yes no one gets that the Bruce Wayne voice is supposed to be the fake voice.
The playboy billionaire act is just that an act that’s when he’s faking a voice not when he’s Batman.

@Darth Prime
I hate the “Bruce Wayne is the mask and Batman is the real face” thing honestly

It’s needlessly edgy and just doesn’t track with his actual personality, even within BTAS

I love it when Zombies have enough thinking power left to utilize melee weapons:

These guys make Jason Voorhees proud!
