people who don't like 'The Eminence in Shadow' – are they pretentious or just don't like having fun?
The Eminence in Shadow (light novel)
what are ur thoughts about this whole thing?
| They haven't read the light novel, that's for sure |
 |
| How can someone whos pretentious not like something that's pretentious ? OP, you are making no sense. |
 |
| I honestly like how funny Cid is, plus he plays the piano and he is just there to have fun in this new world of his. Also the way he makes fun of edgy phrases and his OP powers is on point. The story can get a bit repetitive though, but that´s probably the point of it. As has been said before, it is a good fun but you can´t take it too seriously or expect too much of it which is the show´s strong point actually. it is not mind-blowing and I don´t really think it is trying to be. |

The world and characters are interesting. The premise as well is kind of funny and has potential. After watching the first season I was confused as to whether the show was supposed to be serious or more comedic like Konosuba. It’s not as funny as other parodies but it also isn’t meant to be taken seriously. So I’d say it’s a “meh”. (I also don’t really watch the Isekai genre too much so most jokes are probably flying straight over my head) The humor of Konosuba is more like a gag and slapstick comedy, while Kagejitsu's humor is dry. The jokes are delivered in a very serious tone, lacking much expressions, which actually makes it funny. For example, we see Cid narrating his past and his motives in a pretty serious tone. But, when you realize how ridiculously stupid they are, thats when the joke hits. A lot of people fail to get this, but interpretation differs from people to people. |
| If fun is defined by whatever crap this is, then I'm having none of it for the rest of my life. |

| The plot's duality of being absolute shit and ironically funny makes the show objectively good. People should realize this before or when they meet Perv Asshat. |
| It's not my kind of show but it was good |

| Do people really think this is carried by the animation? How?? Even calling it decent is already being generous here. |
| I liked the premise but the characters fall flat and it’s literally Cid with a harem. Did I finish it? Yes? Will I watch S2? Probably not. I hate fan service and didn’t care for any of the characters. Cid is a literal chunibyo or whoever tf you spell it. I know I shouldn’t expect every series to have 3 dimensional characters like AOT, monster, or other highly regarded series but I did just want those so 🤷🏽♀️ I also am a straight female so fan service aimed towards horny straight men makes me laugh at how stupid it handled |
 |
| the fights and dialogue are just boring. i haven't heard anyone say it's carried by the animation, it isn't even that good. the fanservice is what actually carries. |

Taste differs~ For me, Mushoku Tensei goes downhill at around Vol 18. If I were to tier all the isekai LNs I have read from A to E, I will tier Mushoku Tensei as B-Tier, same tier as Dahlia In Bloom, Youjo Senki, etc. Not A-tier isekai such as Sasaki And Peeps or Modern Villainess. I cannot speak for Slime, not my type of isekai. Most of the LN readers I know tend to tell me to read Ascendence Of Bookworm instead. I heard that the story of Slime eventually stagnates later on. I cannot judge Shadow yet because there are only 5 volumes, it is at a point where the story can go anywhere~ |
| How can something be good but objectively bad? I don't get this option on the poll. |

| @EyeAmTheI to make more misunderstanding obviously, this is a misunderstanding comedy anime. |

I enjoyed Vol 23 especially Rudy’s conversation with Nanahoshi. Vol 24 is just straightforward, I neither like nor dislike it. I cannot comment on Vol 25-26 because I have not read it yet. I will place it at B-tier for now. It might move up or down depending on the last 2 volumes. Well, taste differs, I know a ton of readers who dropped MT at Vol 1. |

Well, taste differs, I know a ton of readers who dropped MT at Vol 1. If you rate MT below those A-tier novels that u mention then iam sorry but you don’t know how to rank novels from the world building to the character development what make these novel better than MT if i may ask cuz i literally finished modern villainess and there is no category i can mention that beat MT and for people who dropped from volume 1 didn’t even finish the prologue of the story so that irrelevant There is no such things as “don’t know how to rank novels”. We are different people so we have different ranking systems. If a hundred of LN readers are asked to tier isekai, there will be many different tier list due everyone having different tastes and hence different criterias. I have met people who enjoyed Realist Hero and Campfire Cooking more than MT. I ranked based on world building, character background, character development, originality, story structure, well-researched, philosophy messages, etc. Not just world building and character development. I am not going to disagree that MT has better character development than Modern Villainess and Sasaki And Peeps. I ranked Modern Villainess over MT because of how well-researched the world is, considering that I live in Asia, which is affected by 1998 Thailand financial crisis. Sasaki And Peeps destroys MT in world building, mixing modern world and medieval fantasy world, but there is less character development because the protagonist is already a mature middle-aged man. As I mentioned above, my isekai tier list might change after I read Vol 25 or Vol 26. Fun fact: Majority of LN readers I know rank Ascendence Of Bookworm over MT, I cannot comment on that since I have not read Ascendence Of Bookworm. |
