Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?

But what the hell, I'm pretty sure there's more isekai now than other genres/settings. It's gotten to a point that if I see the tag I just move on.

    I stopped watching isekai BECAUSE it always ended up being creepy harem stuff with underage characters, I feel like the two are permanently fused

      You should check out Spellbinder. It's a live action Isekai from the 90s produced as a collaboration between Australia and Poland. There are no romantic themes except for a subplot where two characters pretend to be in love for plot reasons and they both absolutely hate it. Also the "love" is entirely age appropriate.

      Why are all isekai protagonists white-adjacent guys who end up defending straight-up slavery and have sus relations with minors
