It’s a great story, and has just the kind of nuance take that isekai stories could use.
Since we won’t play it anyway, I’ll just spoil it.
You play as The Heroine. An isekai protagonist. A high school girl summoned into a fantasy anime world. But as a side effect of the summoning, she experiences some sort of amnesia. She can’t remember a thing.
She’s not the only isekai high school girl though. There have been other isekai characters.
An elf mage tells The Heroine that she needs to kill all other isekai characters in order to regain her memory.
So she did. But she didn’t regain not one trace of her memory.
Turns out The Heroine has never been isekai’d. She’s local. In fact she was created just prior to the game’s beginning by the elf mage for the sole purpose of killing isekai characters. Now that she’s done it, elf mage has no use of her and tries to kill her.
The Heroine kills elf mage, and is now faced with an existential crisis. She was created not a couple days ago, and with her purpose complete and her creator died by her hand, she literally has no purpose for existing. But, with the help of an immortal goblin friend who reminds her that existence in itself is the purpose, she begins a new life, perhaps seeking a new meaning in her life, or, just enjoy good food, good snuggling, and good snoozing.
It’s a nihilist tale.
Anti-nihilism is accepting life has no inherent meaning but pushing foward anyway to live as best you can and impose or find your own purpose in life.
