I've had this idea for ages about someone who goes back to like 1000 AD and tries to introduce germ theory, disinfecting surfaces and medical devices with alcohol, etc. The conflict comes from them having to overcome medieval institutions being resistant to change, starting with them naively writing a treatise on what is currently considered medical common sense but getting rebuked for apparently not knowing what they're talking about.

Naturally, the main character wears a cute version of a plague doctor outfit.

Isekai is fascinating to me because they're almost always terrible even though they have such an open premise, and they go through the craziest fads.

The industrious-person-gets-the-chance-to-own-the-products-of-their-own-labor-and-actually-have-friends subgenre us pretty big right now, though I think it was pioneered by Ascendence or a Bookworm, which is actually pretty good.

Sadly no anti slavery Isekai yet, but the on from last summer where the protagonist kills isekai'd people was fun.

There's an Isekai about literally John Brown liberating catgirls, but it felt a bit rushed

It's shame since there's potential for "people being transported to radically different times/places" in general. Like, say, an archetypical heroic knight from a generic fantasy setting being transported to a mythologized Ancient Greece, where they had different qualifiers for "heroic". Or a Marxist being transported to a preindustrial society. Closest I've seen to something like that was Release That Witch (especially since Redditoids consider it CCP Marxist propaganda lol ) and fucking Drifters.

It seems like the last dozen or so chapters were mostly thinly-veiled pro-Chinese communist propaganda.

Hmm really? What were they like?

The nobles are evil for having personal wealth and defending their right to govern their own territories instead of allowing the MC "centralized management" of everything.

Ahahahah. God I hate reddit. I'm not looking further.

Liberals then: There will be no justice until the last noble is strangled with the entrails of the last bishop. :swole-doge: :gui-better:

Liberals now: Won't somebody think of the nobles' property rights?! :cheems:

Mao forcing the urban intelligentsia to go live in the countryside and help out farmers was an isekai.

When are they gonna have an isekai where a Japanese foreign exchange student visits the US and dies from school shooter-kun

[-] CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

they would be hit by the Amercan Truck-kun (some pickup truck in the suburbs)

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Much more likely to be hit by truck-kun here, given the lack of restrictions on blind zones for trucks

Who would win: American pickup truck or European Heavy Construction Equipment ? The results might surprise you .

Or maybe not, since open contempt for human life is a staple in the United States from what it looks like as an outsider.

Here's an idea: isekai series where the mc gets transported to a magical realm sans capitalism, years later is "rescued" or has to leave it with no hope of return, then finds themselves completely unable to lead a normal life back in our world and vows to make it livable (maybe through some kinda revolution?) Id read/watch tf out of that

double isekai could go hard if and only if it were leftist agitprop.
