It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn’t read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it’s kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just “guilty pleasures”? The only one I’ve been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.

Edit: got a lot of recs, thanks everyone :)

    Same. It is a thing because people read it. I do not think I have a quality filter, but I do have a finely-honed “will I enjoy it?” filter. And a lot of isekai passes it, so I read. Wonder how much of the backlash to it is

    • genre fatigue: too much of it at all!
    • genre is genuinely full of bad ones

    also, !otomeisekai@lemmy.world exists and is very dead. I tried to reactivate it for a bit when my kbin.run account still worked, before the server went down. I’d be happy to try again if you want to too—even if it is just you and me yelling at each other.

      Sometimes it just takes 1 or 2 people yelling at each other, as long as new posts appear preferably daily, or at least a couple times a week.

        daily

        I am kind of surprised. Communities with daily posts tend to be overwhelming if I have some communities posting a few times a week, so I’ve personally been sticking to a few times a week for posting. Good to know that some people actually want daily and that maybe that would be an actual growth strategy, instead of something that would make people feel spammed and thus something to purposely avoid doing. Genuinely, thanks for the advice. I’m just me and sometimes I guess incorrectly at how other people would feel.

        (For something big like Gaming or Books or Anime I know to expect a few posts per day, just by sheer amount of people participating, but for NicheTitle I’d expect a few per week.)

          A lot of people just use the “All” feed on their server, or a big server like .world, to find new content, because Lemmy doesn’t have a recommendation algorithm (and thankfully not).

          I do that occasionally too, to find new and interesting /c’s.

          I also crosspost and make references to http://ani.social/c/anime to spread the word that it exists and is the best anime community in Lemmy-space. (see what I did there?)

            I keep forgetting I seem to be in the minority by refusing to touch c/All, thanks for letting me to know that the “daily” strategy captures what is probably the majority who will use c/All.

            I do the same thing about referencing my communities, !otomegames@ani.social and !bunnies@lemmy.world with a link relevant, but thanks for the tip.
