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'm more sick of the harem trope than the isekai trope, between that and fan service beach days I don't even feel like trying new shows sometimes

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

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

I know what you mean, it's weird to me too that often the protags are white or European coded, the whole thing is a weird mess and full of ick

You can also literally tell from the cover what kind of show it's going to be 😭
