You should get hyped for my upcoming light novel:
I Wrote a Light Novel on my Smart Phone About an OP Protagonist, and I Teleported Into the World of my Novel, but Because I was Someone Other Than the Protagonist, I Died Immediately.
I’m done writing all two chapters, now I just need to find a publisher that recognizes genius when I stare them in the face.
Saga of Meager Survival where the MC is a barely above average Superperson in a world of world ending threats and their attempts at surviving every single day
Every isekai in the past few years is either bottom left, bottom right, or both.
The ones where the MC becomes OP immediately are so fucking stupid. It doesn’t work in any other medium (hey, let’s make a video game where invincibility is always on, have fun!), so why would it work for those?
I disagree, bottom right can work. It just has to be written as a slice of life, not an action show. In practice, almost all of them dont understand this, so its still a terrible subgenre.
“Haven’t you heard, I’m Sakamoto” is a 10/10 example of the good kind, imo. Hilariously overpowered teenager in a normal ass highschool. Feels like it was definitely written to satirize those over-the-top power dynamics.
One Punch Man is the only thing to do that right, and it’s because the entire concept revolves around it and mocking other animes.
I would argue that it’s because the entire concept doesn’t revolve around it. One-Punch Man works because Saitama’s challenges are with depression and ennui, not physical monsters.
Frieren also does it
I don’t understand why there are so many of these. Surely even the people who like them can’t watch that many. Also, I don’t understand why Japanese light novels are almost always so low-quality. I realize a lot of them are amateur works but you’d think there would be more than just a few that stand out as good.
its easier to sell popular trends than it is to sell something unique. most people (writers included) are followers, not trendsetters.
create capitalism
ruin humanity
How many american cop shows are there?
Japanese eat them the fuck up so they keep getting shitted out
Eshitkai
Because this opinion here on Lemmy is a minority opinion. Most of them aren’t as unpopular as they are here. Theyre not totally garbage, but they can be an amusing watch.
Anime that uses a light novel as its source can be good. Ameku MD doctor detective is awesome (and also mostly accurate from a medical standpoint) and it’s a light novel first.
Naah, I didn’t mean that all novel adaptation are trash like !theapothecarydiaries@ani.social is good novel and anime.
I like the one with the witch on lvl 100 just chillin
Ironic. That same starter pack means I’m probably gonna read it. And the light novels.
