Overlord IV

shows I like to watch somtimes, even though I know they are pretty bad... It's like junk food to me you know... your body needs garbage sometimes...

Shousetsuka ni Narou, “Let’s become a novelist!”, is Japan's novel publishing website where anyone can publish and read novels free of charge. These animes are the anime of Shousetsuka ni Narou origin, in which some of them are popular series.

A spooky list of anime with a skele-ton of boney-boy representation.

All these Isekai anime are good quality and you won't see any SAO clone tasteless Isekai here.
These can include anime that are not Tagged as an Isekai but technically are.
Time traveling to a different point in time is not counted as an Isekai.
This is just my opinion tho and I have not seen every Isekai but I'll update my thoughts on them when I watch them.

All types of anime with a Skeleton/Undead main character(s)

If you are into protagonists who are very strong from the very beginning instead of a "From Zero to Hero" Anime then these anime are for you.

One of my favorite anime tropes!

I love anime that feature what is normally a "background" character that is the perfect butler or concierge. They're good at seemingly everything - cleaning, cooking, mending ... you name it, so the master never has to worry. Oh and if things get dicey, it turns out the Butler is also secretly (or not secretly) Overpowered and has amazing martial arts or magical powers.

You know that butler! You might have seen them in these anime, sorted in Alphabetical Order.

This list contains some Anime series about characters in gaming setting whether video game, gambling or even tabletop game. If you are into this type of Anime, then you're in the right stack.

Politic, Government, Diplomatic? In real life these topic always get attention right?


Here I suggest you to watch Anime with Government, Politic, or How to Deal with Nation in Different ways

As we know isekai is not one of the genres with the best reputation within anime, but among so much crap we can find some that are worth checking out.

This stack contains 50 anime series that presents a non-human protagonists.

As for the genres/themes, you'll find many from Action, Gore, Fantasy to Comedy and Isekai.

I leave the rating to your own judgement.

hello.
in this list i want to introduce some of the best isekai anime that are not harem.
please note that this means the mc (girl or boy no difference) is not being love by three or many more characters (female or male), and also doesn't love more than 2 characters of opposite gender (cause form my point of view this just leads show to just shit and make fan service based) and reason for why not just a girl is because of 'Love triangle
'
another important thing is in some cases the show is not a harem and gradually from an episode or a season or even arc it starts to be a harem show and these will be listed here too so please note this.

enjoy the list!

Worldbuilding is "the art of creating a new fictional world". Not only for characters to interact with each other, but to interact with everything around them. Imagine its history, culture and mores of your imaginary land, and how characters interact with different religious, ethnic groups, culture, landscape, and so on.

Thats the magic of worldbuilding.
