MODERATORS
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
