Why does everything turn into either haremshit where no development ever happens or edgy revenge where MC edges so hard he can't make time for relationships. Why can't more stories just have a developed romance, or romance at all?

Or, you can have a series like pic-related where MC gets his main revenge early on and the rest of the series just goes downhill from there.

I'd say that falls into the edgy revenge story catergory. Completely mind breaks and erases the princess' mind/personality from existence.
>oops better not fall in love with her I'm supposed to hate her
For what purpose?

Shit series but goddamn that art.

...

I literally can't find anything good to read.

Kaifuku is shit. I'm trying to get into Death Mage but this seems like pretty edgy horseshit also. At this point I doubt the other things people have recommended are going to be very good either.

Off the top of my head, try Death flag, Skeleton Knight, The New Gate, Tsuki ga. Those series have a decent amounts of chapters and neither of the tropes mentioned in OP. Also disregard the hate for SAO, its current Alicization arc is above average and in a sense isekai.

Yeah I was thinking about trying Skeleton knight. I had started New Gate a while back and thinking of picking it back up since I didn't hate the bit I read, how's the character development in it? Is it just shounen battling and harem building or does he just decide to romance the elf from the beginning? I also got through about 230 chapters of Tsuki ga and was thinking about starting that one up again though there's 0 romance involved considering MC refuses to even consider the dragon or spider.

Just read sword dad. Fast translations and a decent story.

I still can't see how that story can be anything but just battles. A sword can't really have character development.

Kuro no Maou had a decent fast translation until the translator started translating gookshit.

>Kuro no Maou
380 is a pretty decent number though it doesn't look like it's been updated since December. TL drop it you mean or are the still working on it?

>He refuses the sweet dragon bow
Is this MC gay or what

>>He refuses the sweet dragon bow
Who?

>Death flag
oh nice, it's been been a few months since I put that on my hiatus list and forgot about it. there has to be a few new chapters by now.

nope. fuck you.

The guy who gets summoned by the queen to make babies

Risou no Himo?

Yes

I would say the elf assistant got more character development, the MC has next to none and it's not shounen/harem building. Battles are generally easy for MC, the story is more focused on adventure and worldbuilding. Many girls have feeling for the MC but he just left after helping them. I think he realized the elf NPC had feeling for him but nothing concrete between them yet. And yeah forget about the romance in Tsuki, would be a long ass time before anything happens that's assuming the author hasn't dropped it. It's stuck on 295 for a while now, I only recommended those two since they fit the no harem/edgy MC criteria.

I heard that kind of went to shit as it went on.

Boy I wish there was twice as much Altina out as there is now, that'd tie me over for a few more days.

I am fine with him having no ambition, but refusing the dragon bow had to be the gayest thing ever. I hope the author gets a spider infestation in his colon.

What's the situation with the Skeleton Knight WN? Apparently, the translator has caught up to the author. Anyone know when we can expect the next volume to begin?

Shieldbro manga vol 10 cover.
Looks pretty nice

It is not the sword, but the cat that wields it.

Hm, I have a bias against things where the protagonist is a young girl.

WN volume 8 is 4 chapters out.

Next skeleton knight volume should be 25 March I think, though the translator only translated the WN so I don't know. Also Overlord is released april. Can't fucking wait

Is Stranger's Handbook any good?

>Canadian elves, other elves, some dwarves, humans, beastman ninjas, Arc and probably two dragon kings
>All of those going to war in vol 8

This feels a bit overkill, particularly the last 3 acting together.

Reminder that wars should be fought in the nude unless you’re a little bitch.

Can you into moon?

>Death flag
Chapter 99 never

I didnt like it at first, but it gets better

You're a retard.

Cause its the new magic school/battle harem op, already told you this like ten threads already.

I'm getting kind of sick of isekai. Everything seems to be fantasy land with adventurer's guilds. Is there anything that manages to be different, while at least being different?

Ar no Surge / Ar no Tonelico if you want to play game.
Ciel no Surge if you want to watch.

There are like loads of stuff: starcraft dungeon master, sentai autistic bizarre adventure, atheist summoned as bishop of satanic church, space pirates etc.

>atheist summoned as bishop of satanic church

I recommend Ciel no Surge too.

> Ciel no Surge
is this a porn game or something? wtf is with this quality.
anyway i have no will to watch the next video.

>Ciel no Surge
>Porn

Blasphemy, It's pure story telling with astounding world building and characterization.

Because that is the sort of stuff YOU chose to read. ITs like watching only Michael Bay movies and complain that there is lot of explossions.

You have 12 kingdoms for example, that is a really nice Isekai. Why not go and read that? OR if you want something more recent Grimgar.

Of course there will be harem in your harem works. If harem is not what you search, search for some other thing. There is an infinite number of isekai out there right now and lot of them don't are about harems.

>atheist summoned as bishop of satanic church

The Pope is op and the Cardinals are really powerful

The only good thing about Tanaka is mda satoru art

ありがとう。そもそも日本語で読んでみたかったから問題ない。

そりゃ楽しみだね。

fuck off tabakafags this is a legit isekai thread

Skeleton Knight is really good

>That cliffhanger on ch15
I thought for sure he was going to succ elf-chan and getting disappointed from the lack of milk

...

So dragonloli is still pure?

If I deciphered it correctly from the MTL. . . .
Yes

But Tanaka tries to help his bro with hooking him up with her right?

yes he is still trying, he just wavered a bit when he was cheering up the dragololi cause she came out as super cute when shes sad, he starts to fight himself over helping out or not, and in the end after having some delusions he believe helping out a bro is the better course of action.

if i download the deathmage ln 2-5. will they contain illustrations?

It's "Ar tonelico", "Ciel nosurge" and "Ar nosurge", you retard.

What an imbecile.

remove tanakafags

Translation when?

Here, have some recommendations
Two ongoing, frequently updated series:
ncode.syosetu.com/n1963el/
Saihate no Paladin meets Cthulhu Mythos&SCP.

ncode.syosetu.com/n0611em/
The setting thought by autistic chuu2 kid came true.

Two of my favorite wns on narou, both are stalled for years:
ncode.syosetu.com/n9016cm/
Batshit insane scientist performs human experiments in order to achieve immortality.

ncode.syosetu.com/n0709cd/
Pretty much best written, very verbose ぼっち系 isekai.

Protagonist is the sword. His cheat is that he steals abilities of the monsters he kills and can share them with his wielder.
Little girl is his wielder that he decides to help become the strongest.
This begin the [s]cooking show[/s] adventures of Dad Sword and Fran.

Anyone else really hate the art of Isekai Mahou?
Also hate how the LN changed Fermenia. I started the series with the WN and she was much cooler there. She didnt fall in love with Suimei right away and even upto the current chapter there is only a subtle romantic tension between them which is leagues better than the dere she is showing in the LN. Her art even looks like a generic moeblob tsundere.
In fact, the artist draws all the male characters with super punchable faces.

I generally find this series horrible.

my murderous sadistic daghteru cant be this cute.

Newly translated series
> Maid will go on through thick and thin!
>Even though there was the usual development of being thrown into another world with swords and magic with the whole school, my job was [maid].
>My weapon is a feather duster! My skill is [cleaning]! This is a story of a maid with zero combat ability trying her best.

Translator comment
>Maid. Meido. Very maid. Things a maid does (some are debatable).
>No romance. No, main character will not somehow become the strongest. Maids are not supposed to fight. Other novels are strange.

I really liked it. upto around chapter 70 of the web novel, where he reveals to Titania that he was a magician. He had absolutely no reason to do that. It wouldve been easy to keep hiding the fact. He had tons of ways to do it. Author just got lazy and couldnt come up with a good reason

And yeah Felmenia had a more intellectual and calm aura in the web novel. In the ln version, she's more hot-blooded

Nice, I was reading the webnovel trans but I didn't know that it got printed?

That sounds absolutely aweful. I get that the author is trying to get away from normal isekai tropes, but becoming a maid is such a shitty concept compared to other attention grabbing isekais also trying to subvert the norm lime Sword-dad or Spider girl. I remember another noncombat-type of isekai where the MC is an inspector, and that ended up complete garbage where the MC is forced to rely on everyone else to do everything for him.

>it's another "hey Sup Forums, have you heard of [isekai series everyone has heard of]? It's not trash like all the other isekai because [insert stupid subversion of the usual formula] post

Not all isekai have to be about fighting.
Maids are probably the most common female isekai protagonist occupation after villainess oujo.

...

>No isekai where the protag has necromancer class and fight by controlling his dead classmates, after getting exiled by them

>I wonder who made you?
Probably Fargo, the maker of Jormungandr and Lindwurm.

...

...

Does "MC never gets sick" really apply when he's no longer a living thing?

...

i see another fool fell for the death mage is good meme

...

EXA_PICO is fucking GOAT, though only the last two games are arguably isekai, the rest are just science fantasy. And even then, those are really weird examples (not that isekai prides itself on its flexibility with tropes).

...

Do one for overlord and faraway paladin if you have the time user

user he is a sword, he can't get sick.

>no one else is from another world

hasn't even watched the show detected.

Kinda death mage and yuusha no eiyuutan

Shit, I forgot about Arisa, shes such a non character she failed to make a mark in my mind.

Ammended

Everything is garbage, at least if you pick a popular garbage, you don't have to worry about translator mysteriously vanishing and then nobody else picking up the series.
