are isekai for failures at life who yearn for a second chance? i've yet to see one isekai plot where it's a successful person being put in a place of adversity. it's always a neet or a hikki who gets sent to an alternate world with near god-like powers.

>I've yet to see
Why do people think declaring their own ignorance backs up their claim?

This. You know there's an isekai with literally Lucifer, king of demons, coming to a new world and becoming an employee of MCDONALDS, right?

That's not really isekai. The 異 in 異世界 means "different."

>i've yet to see one isekai plot where it's a successful person being put in a place of adversity

I'd love to see Achilles isekai'd and start fucking shit up in an RPG magic world with only his time-honed skill.

When I was 12 years old before being a failure at life I thought being reincarnated into a Dragon Quest world would be pretty fucking cool. Apparently many kids in Japan had the same feeling.

>it's always a neet or a hikki who gets sent to an alternate world with near god-like powers.

Tanya the evil came out this winter, there was threads about it and everything, you're like one of those people who ask for sauce when someone post a haruhi pic

The shota from Knights and Magic was a somewhat successful programmer. Slime dude had a job, everyone in Overlord's guild including the MC supposedly had a job and a life. Shieldbro, while he may have admitted he was a slacker, was a college student who was able to save his brother from a life of truancy before he got isekai'd.

Depends of what you call successful. But yes in most cases you're right.

sorry they're only adapting Isekai with beta male MCs

unlike pic related

>Ente Isla
>Earth
>Not completely different worlds
you're stupid

Shield Hero, Re:Monster and Knights and Magic comes to mind when MC were not that shitty/beta before being isekai'd.

these stories are for westaboos who hate being asian and want a white waifu, hence why so many of them take place in medieval europe and why they are reincarnated as a white boy

>Got killed by some girl with a knife in the real world despite having the same broken power after years of evolving it and died like a bitch.

Never got the feeling this dude was a decent person, even before the isekai.

Release That Witch (mechanical engineer)
Wortenia Senki ("normal" highschool student)
Moon-Led Journey (normal highschool student)
Risou no Himo Seikatsu (salaryman who ironically becomes a hikkineet after being isekai'd)

Isn't complaining about isekai being unoriginal about as cliche as isekai supposedly is at this point?
If you were to actually read narou you'd understand that there's lots of great stuff out there, it just doesn't market hard enough to get LNs and adaptations because it's not gimmicky enough. I've seen more than enough interesting parody isekai english language websites. You're only focusing on stories that already exist and are popular, no wonder you're upset.

You're right, it's not common that they're sent to some kind of Oriental fantasy world.

Have you read this?

Warlock in Magus world (Scientist)
World Teacher (Special forces)
ATG, Douluo Dalu, and many other Xianxia (Martial artists)
Most Xianhuan with female MCs (Assassin)

what is it and what's it about?

> i've yet to see one isekai plot where it's a successful person being put in a place of adversity

>Moon-Led Journey(normal highschool student)
It's "normal" highschool student in his case too, there's some side stories that are translated by someone other than the main guy doing it that explain but he's basically shirou.

You know thinking about it I can't think of a single chink isekai where the MC was a neet loser beforehand.
The nips really want to make it easy for people with pathetic lives to self insert into their wish fulfillment garbage.

Technically the MC of ATG was just a normal kid before he was isekai'd since he's just the same person who died, isekai'd, died again, and isekai'd back into right when he died the first time.

Oh also ATG isn't isekai he just got reincarnated in the future on another continent on the same planet and then ended up back in his original body in the past after dying again.

He might not be a decent person, but he was successful alright.

>i've yet to see one isekai plot where it's a successful person being put in a place of adversity.

Then watch Isekai Shokudou, it is airing this season, it is about a successful chef who goes to the other world once a week to cook. He is not a neet, by definition, and he has no god-like powers.

A doujin artist goes to a fantasy world and he has the power to put people in the situations from his comics

Youjo Senki is a successful 40 something year old businessman on the road to success getting isekaid into an orphan girl in a WW1 scenario because he fedora tipped God.
