Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai? (lemmy.ml)

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.

When I watched Frieren the best thing was that it was no fucking isekai. It's still competence porn, but at least she is not a middle aged man who died lonely in his bedroom. Just a classic fantasy world. Loved it

Lots of lonely female dying isekai in the manga world too

Could you give some examples? Just curious. I want to see how they differ from male isekai in terms of escapsim. And I don't mean multiple people like in Sao or Alice in wonderland. I just watched this "project Elise doctor" and what in the world was that? A double isekai? Or a isekaiception? But it definitely was different from when boys/men die.

Loads of villainness stuff is where a woman gets isekaied. For example:

  • My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
  • I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss
  • Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord

Aside from villainness stuff, there's also:

  • I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level
  • Ascendance of a Bookworm (really recommended)
  • The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
  • The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent
