Wait, hold up. I think I've read a fantasy book about this. Does it end up being that the world's magic is actually written in a programmer's language?

>grandpa tensei
The filtering is so fucking bad
They overdid it
That's Knights & Magic

No. I meant as in an actual written western fantasy book. I think it was almost the same exact premise. Seemingly useless guy got transferred over, thought he was useless but made most of the time and did random shit to help out, in the end found out the world's magic is programmer's code and he's a programmer, proceed to make the BBEG his bitch. Or at least that's how I think it went as it has been a while.

Captcha probably related. Probably how the guy felt when he found out the truth.

>I am already in my 705
Is this the room or is he that old?

It's an S. Poor font choice.

grandpa tensei is pretty good
An isekai written from the perspective of a well adjusted person, that even at a glance seems like there's more to it than just the main character and his gimmicks.

>skill acquisition
Noooooooooooooooooooooo

"grandpa tensei" reveals invalid results and this thread. Can I get a link or the real name?

異世界転生に感謝を

I'm reading an Isekai that was probably made in a HFY thread

novelupdates.com/series/humans-are-the-strongest-racestarting-a-slow-life-with-an-elf-wife-in-a-different-world/

A 5 minute search found 4 "old man" gets isekai'ed. And they all look alike.

Thank you.

For anyone wondering, the name of OP is Isekai Tensei ni Kansha o

I'm pretty sure I read an Isekai with that premise before, guy gets reborn in a world with only really weak elves so he becomes the dark lord or something and turns the whole world into a corpse filled apocalypse. He dies, becomes a tree, then his "son" comes to the real world/earth and becomes the dark lord there, turning it into a corpse filled apocalypse.

I'm intrigued, wonder what it is

>Farming in this world is insultingly easy.
>Like literally just plant a seed and water them daily and in a week or so you'll have something you can eat.
>All monsters in this world are grown from plants.
>Monsters are this worlds primary food source.
>Like half of the monsters actively want to be eaten after being grown by a human, and will actually help you grow and harvest their own kind for the purpose of being eaten.
>Most of the violent monsters are just violent because their mildly more specific needs aren't being met.

And yet this world has no concept of farming and almost no one tries to grow monsters until some teenager from Japan shows up. All food is coming from monsters in the wild you need to pay adventurers to go out and find for you. And on top of that nobody realized that if you plant those gems you find in every animal type monster will grow into the tree that drops the eggs of that monster as fruit.

There needs to be a limit to how stupid an author can write a setting.

>Farming in this world is insultingly easy.
>Like literally just plant a seed and water them daily and in a week or so you'll have something you can eat.
Sounds like HM.

the point is that his existence is magical and other people who do the same shit as him won't have the same results
>reading comprehension: 0

The books are the the Wiz Biz series by Rick Cook. They're pretty damn good isekai.

There is literally nothing that says it can't be done by anyone else in the series so far. They're even keeping the fact that you can plant the monster gems to get monster trees a secret after figuring it out because they don't want other people doing it.

So any good isekais which actively do world building instead of going all "lol its an RPG world"? I'd like to see an isekai with as much thought put into its setting as, say, Made in Abyss or Gargantia.

world building isn't what you are after if you insist certain settings cannot qualify

Plenty. You should lurk more and use google next time, newfag.

Isekai de Loli Elf Tasuketara Kou Natta | I Saved a Loli Elf in Another World and This Happened

RPG worlds could work if they put some thought into the setting. Look at Dungeon Meshi.

Most isekai I've seen on here slap in elves and slimes and slaves with no rhyme or reason.

>dungeon menshi has an rpg world
and this is how i know you're just trolling. What you're mentioning is a fucking standard medieval fantasy setting you idiot.

Sorry did you say something? I was distracted by whatsherface's midrift.

When they're not copying the same damn setting I think Chinese Xianxia are pretty good in world building.

To be specific, Dungeon Meshi is based on Wizardry, a western RPG from the 1980s that was really popular in japan.

It's based on table top RPG, not video game RPG.

Just read Release That Witch, Japanese LNs are inferior to Chinese

>a western
>he didn't know.

Usually when we're talking isekai rpg wordls we usually mean setting similar to DQ and other japanese videogame settings with medieval stuff. Not tabletop or anything, shit's rare.

You are the retard here trying to shill your shitty stuff when the author explicitly referenced his own country video games.

>when the author explicitly referenced his own country video games.
>Wizardry
>A Japanese video game

I freaked out and thought noise went legit for a minute there.

Is this going to be an other of those "slave master" isekais where he gets a harem of slave girls?

You forgot
>call people who actually farm witches and kill them
>just starve to death and enter a famine because fuck farming it’s evil

It doesn't really say anything about the witches being farmers though.

>The Observation Diary of Scientifically-Existing Creature Girls
No RPG mechanics, scientist gets Isekai'ed and tries to figure out how monster girls work.

Reminder that YMA translator is back at it and will start releasing chapters soon

That actually sounds incredibly interesting. I was hoping someone would actually make a story like that ever since I saw bits in gate when the doctors are working with the prostitutes.

>monster girl trips and accidentally pushes him down, causing her boobs to land on his eyes
>"huh? these aren't my glasses..."
I can see it now

>call people who actually farm witches
it's not the witches doign the farming, the witches are the ones being farmed!

I like the idea.

someone call me when otherworldly microorganisms become a problem

Though as he examines them, he determines they're more mutant humans or with birth defects than human-monster hybrids. Which explains why they can breed with humans.

I hope a good group picks this up before LH can get their hands on it.

where are you getting the raws user? looking at the author's twitter it seems to be basically porn.
how many vaginas does a spider girl need?

I googled for "科学的に存在しうるクリ―チャー娘の観察日誌 raws" and the 5th hit had them.
3 since they're actually conjoined triplets and not related to spiders at all.

Those sites usually turn out to be total fakes, awesome.
>spoiler
Oh.that's kinda darker than I was expecting.

source user? I searched the manga name and found nothing.

really user? I searched the manga name and found everything.

you fucking faggot. it's written right there

how much is a single silver coin worth in modern currency anyway?

do remember that isekai currency isn't dependeing on the intrinsic value of the material the coin is made of.

so it's monopoly money, great

Wasn't he supposed to be in his mid 30 and a little chubby in the LN?

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have old spanish reals and they're not worth much in terms of the silver in them. If you mean from a numismatic value, it varies. Old medieval coins can be worth quite a lot even if they're in shit condition. As for buying power though, that's also so hard to really estimate. Gold was something commoners would never see and silver was the sort of thing that was precious. A single silver coin could mean having your needs met for quite a while.

All that is to say I don't have a dollar estimate to give you but I hope it's been at least a little context.

Why do you think everyone uses a 1gold=100silver=10000copper currency rate?

That depends on the isekai. In one story silver was worth far more than gold due to its effectiveness against certain types of troublesome monsters

I see, most isekai stories i read had the system. Even shieldbro.

50 cents to $7, it gets higher due to historical value.
The 1 silver is a 100 Yen can be accurate.

>The 1 silver is a 100 Yen can be accurate.
Even if it is accurate it sounds stupid.

Just due to laziness I'm sure. Its forgivable most of the time if the series focus isn't around currency, markets, and what not.

Look up Roman emprie currency during 100AD to 300AD. A Silver Denarius from 200AD was an alloy that contained little silver.

shieldbro delved a bit into it but didn't deal with hard number crunching, only about market practices and other stuff that didn't deal with money directly. Even spear hero gaiden isn't excempt from jewery.

Spice and Wolf had like 2 full episodes about coin devaluation because of kingdoms changing the metal content and exchange rates due to how much trust people had in the ability to exchange the coins for an other currency.

we're talking isekai here though. but that's a nice tidbit of information.

It's impossible to say

Trying to value medieval currency in modern js nonsensical when comparing two wildly different economies with wildly different standards of what is cheap and plentiful and what is pricey and uncommon, as the relative cost of goods has changed vastly over the centuries due to advances in technology so even a standard basket of goods becomes meaningless.

It's why modern historians won't seriously tell you how many ancient Roman sesterces is worth in modern US dollars, instead they will try to quantify it in terms of how much a soldier could expect to receive in pay and how much units of certain goods like olive oil and a loaf of bread cost.

It seems that Japanese isekai try to use the price of an apple or bread to value the currency, which is nonsensical because modern farming techniques, globalization and mass production has distorted the value of apples and bread relative to other goods compared to what it would have been in medieval times. Even the value of a room at an inn for a night is more rooted in videogame healing costs than in the real-world value of temporary accomodation.

>Even the value of a room at an inn for a night is more rooted in videogame healing costs than in the real-world value of temporary accomodation.
with "late-game" inns charging you up the ass for a night?

>Muv-Luv Alternative
Wait, Muv-Luv is isekai?

techniaclly? Mc ends up in parallel earths and shit weighs down his very soul.c

Pretty sure you mean 'a world that i rule'

I don't even take it seriously and I don't think the author does either. Most of the time when you get that comparison. Its from a story told in the 1st person. Its something a character says. And characters can be wrong.

It started off with the original as a scifi isekai but all the spinoffs are just set in the alternative world. Imagine if The Idolm@ster Xenoglossia had spawned its own subfranchise and the mainline idolmaster series was phased out.

And so can you

Yeah. that's the one. I really did not enjoy reading that, more or less blotted it out like mai's daily life and schoolgirl in concrete.

Xenoglossia wasn't an isekai, it was just an alternative reality. MLA was an actual isekai, a guy from our world traveled to the mecha alien world.

I René!Ber feeling bad for the MC in the first chapter. The later on thinking "yea fuck him."

Just realized that Master of Magic, a classic strategy game from 1994, the player is Isekai'ed with an OP level skill in magic.

>spoiler
I dunno moon, but there are a ton of sort of "fused" twins, where one twin basically "absorbed" the other in the womb, and the resulting child ends up with the DNA of more than one person in some of their organs; both twins are technically alive, but only one really has a brain or anything functioning.
You could be a pair of twins in one body, and not even know it.

Here's one that I like but there's no translation for it, Slight Difference in Culture/ちょっとした、文化の違い. Yeah, it's a Isekai harem with dungeons and dragons, but it's unique.
In the later chapters the MC's owner rips his heart out as a "reward", replacing it with one made from glass, for passing a death-defying trail made by sadistic dragons and remolds it into a tiny dragon-shaped creature that's also a spy camera so she can always keep an eye on him.

That one turns into nothing but cooking tournaments, so I got bored of it.
His father lives there in that world and has been farming for years, and MC's Mother is a giant dragon who's also the Demon King. He only finds that out when he goes to help the kingdom that his mother is invading and they settle the war with a cooking tournament.

>Because I Reincarnated as a Succubus, I'll Squeeze Out Milk
Only isekai I want translated.

It is literally in the first chapter that Lily tells him no one else had successfully grown monster plants before this.

This was actually a pretty decent read. It wasn't as lewd as I expected, but he did make an onahole out of the bird girl. zombies were instant boner killer though.

reason why 100 yen to 1 silver triggers people's autism is because currency's value is dependent on a lot of factors in a lot of areas. It's sort of smoothed over in modern times but it's still more chaotic then the perfect estimates you find in Isekai (that and the exposition is not really needed just say "MC has a lot of money" or "MC has not enough money" and audience will follow that I normally skip those parts and it usually doesn't detract from the story in anyway).

maybe I would feel bad if the first chapter was a full NTR scene, but it was just someone paying back their bully

really sets the tone of how the MC brings out the worst in people

Really I just want an Isekai with no fucking Adventure guild.

I can tolerate RPG elements but Adventure guilds are basically the author's way of saying "I have no plot or narrative in mind for this story so I'm just going to have the MC with the otherwise interesting scenario/power collect goblin ears for several chapters"

you say it like it's a rare thing

too damn common which is why I drop the series the second they show up.

I think Kansutoppu, Konosuba, and MT was the only times it appeared and I didn't mind it.

Risou no HImo, and im only spoonfeeding you cause I want more attention on this one.

I remember the Spellsinger series. Useless guy gets Isekai's by a giant turtle who thinks he's getting a proper engineer who'll be able to do magic programming.
Actually gets a custodial engineer. Luckily he can play the guitar and music is magic too.

ITS SO GOOD

unlimitednovelfailures.mangamatters.com/risou-no-himo-seikatsu/risou-no-himo-seikatsu-volume-01/

probably a better recommendation for

the presence of adventure guilds is just as common in isekai as their abscence

But it's really milk from cow.

pretty disappointing but you could see it coming
might as well read lotte instead
