i feel this, i need updates to my depraved pervert manga. insufficient well-drawn but poorly-written lesbians in my life
a isekai but the main character is sent into a world filled with bara dudes (and also attempts a communism)
This would be the one good manga, i support you comrade. Would they go the Leninist/Maoist way of advancing past the feudal state to do it or would it be exploring the idea of communism from a feudal system without passing through capitalism?
I think it would be a neat angle; I haven't read much about 'capitalism as an aberration' and I think that would really make it stand out, but having this as an internal conflict could make for really good storytelling.
There's also the struggle of what constitutes "productive forces" in a magical world where uniquely talented individuals can do the work of thousands by casting spells
You could go the hard to be a god road where Fascism is abberently developing in a Late Feudal Society and the protagonist has to try and ward it off. Or the Wizard in spite of himself road with other travellers attempting to warp things.
keep us updated! would love to see the finished product
Maybe he inspires a peasant revolt and declares a peasant republic instead of saving the king
This isn't really a dramatic twist, you're just running with one of the biggest trends and issues of isekai, wish fulfillment, and the individualistic approach to revolution to try and attempts a communism or whatnot.
Hell yeah. Wish fulfillment LNs rule when they aren't aimed solely at horny teenage boys. It would be cool to be a badass sorceress getting revenge on my shitty dad, thank you sexiled writer.
I'm doing one where the MC gets isekaid into a world where they are a 1hp minion of the BBEG, and their arc is essentially coming to terms with the futility of individualism and transitioning from trying to save the world themselves to agitating and educating their fellow minions into deposing the BBEG as a big union.
I can't draw for shit tho so
Isn't there that one light novel where a dude gets sent back in time into totally-not-Yugoslavia and he has to stop it from breaking apart? It didn't get translated afaik, so I have no idea if it's good or not
What the piss is an isekai anyway, I see people throwing it around like it's a word or something
what if the narnia books were exclusively about sweaty virgins
reincarnated in another world
I mean, not put this way, no
Is this a bunch of animes about bland self insert characters for young Japanese dudes being magicked into a fantasy world where they're hot shit and fuck elf babes
Growing up, I always found Western 'Isekai' themed novels to be nothing more than thinly veiled power fantasies for the author and I always thought it would fail as a genre or would never expand beyond that niche audience. Twenty five years later and I'm filing that opinion in the same category as 'the Google search engine will NEVER hit it off, I mean there's like no news or anything on their page!' and 'Giant game boxes will never go out of fashion, who wants to buy simple DVD cases anyway?'.
I mean, not all. The trope has been pretty much deconstructed since The man who came too early
Have you ever seen Army of Darkness? Well it's like if there was a whole genre of fiction that was just that, but way more horny. And occasionally with slavery apologia.
...Konosuba is pretty alright though.
God damn Shield Hero was an uncomfortable watch. The first episodes seem like they might be going somewhere with the idea of the Shield Hero being framed and deciding to mentally scar a child into being a remorseless killer, but then by episode four he has a harem of underaged girls (two of which he owns) and it's all fine. Ultimately I had to stop watching because the episode where the racoon girl was freed and decided to be re-enslaved was my limit.
They couldn't even commit to the idea that he was more of a support type compared to the other heroes, which is the most surface level interesting idea that the show had.
On the other hand communists are very good at educating the masses, so magic might help class struggle depending on the magic system
Also like the learned magic nonsense is JK rowling BS anyway, magic can and should be a tool of the mysterious village witch
Furthermore, it reinforces the idea that the families that can use magic “deserve” their noble status because of their ability.
This was an idea I've seen frequently in anime that's kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Personally I wish they'd use the opportunity to reveal that despite having all these magical powers, they're actually inept or kind of dumb, but ultimately these families are also extremely cunning. It seems like the more powerful they are in magic, the smarter they also are. People might point to 'well they have to study to have their magical powers!', except that wouldn't really make them particularly intelligent; knowing how to cast a fireball is not the same as knowing how a machine works or how to navigate diplomatic affairs or how to outmaneuver an army.
Unless magic is a taught skill in which case maybe the only reason the upper class is magic is because they train from the age of 7. Maybe the plot could be about peasants teaching each other magic sort of like how martial arts started as a peasant thing
maybe less communist and more uh deranged nihilist nationalist though
edit: actually it might be anti-militarism i'm not sure, haven't watched it
GATE is pretty cool for maybe 3 episodes, then it's just waifus.
edit: and it's VERY pro-JDF
