| Highschool romance is usually not a harem power fantasy not that I dislike all of them. Isekai recycles a lot more than highschool romance in general too. Pretty much most isekai protags are battle shounen neets. Also, isekai romance is almost always trash. A really big issue withisekai is that the mcs get treated like gods turning most supporting characters into useless worshippers of the mc since he now has power despite being a bullied nobody in his previous life. |

| There’s more variety. Isekai uses the same tropes, same setting same everything way too often and it’s more noticeable when isekai is getting released like every day now. Like I’d actually be into isekai if it didn’t use the same exact medieval setting each time. Like why not I got reincarnated into a dating sim, a horror game, Saints row, A character who’s in a game but doesn’t realize their in a game I DONT KNOW anything other than medieval rpg harem fantasy like it’s so tiring. |

| Because isekai, I mean the currently trending narou-kei isekai, is something too specific to be an evergreen genre. Too specific = too derivative = too many recurring tropes = people will eventually get tired of them. To schematize: - Romance and Fantasy are evergreen - High School Romance and Medieval Fantasy are a bit more specific but still evergreen - a specific subgenre of high school romance (e.g. violent tsundere femc) and narou-kei isekai (overpowered reincarnated mc, demon lord, guilds, skills...) cannot be evergreen |

| because people love waifus and high school romances offer that just like isekai. |

| It's not. Romance is just as much full of tropes as Isekai. |

| @JoeChip this isnt an x vs y thread, im asking a question for discussion wtf |

| I feel like both are very stale to be honest. High school romance anime that I like have something different specifically about those shows that interest me more than the common denominator and have real depth to them (Tsuki ga Kirei, Insomniacs After School) and same goes with isekai anime (Mushoku Tensei, the first two seasons of Iruma-kun). There has been a significant oversaturation of isekai anime over the last few years with titles being so terrible and shows feeling very interchangeable with others due to how generic the premise is and how quickly any gimmick gets old and turns into a boring isekai wish-fulfillment show. But admittedly, even romance anime or rom-coms can feel similar to me, especially if the characters don't stand out or aren't charming whatsoever to carry the insipid plots they tend to have on average, and the amount of them have been increasing more and more to make it oversaturated as well. Ultimately like other anime outside these bubbles, I just want shows I enjoy a lot with characters and writing that I can care for. |
| Isekai is slightly better than school romances. But that's only because stuffs is happening in them. |
 |
| I'm just waiting until we get "With the Demon King's Daughter's Help, I Fixed My Wayward Highschool Romantic Comedy In Another World With My Underpowered Level 0 Cheat Skill." |
| I love high school setting in any genre. I also love when its an isekai high school. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Maybe because they rarely make an isekai that doesn't take place in the same type of setting. Still waiting on my savior Tanya to come back. I need Nut to hurry up and finish. I'd argue isekai has way more potential than school romance plots, but they aren't fully utilizing it. How many times can you do the teen love story thing and still make it interesting? Now compare that to how insane the premise of going to another world could be if it had more thought put into it. |

| isekai is another word for imparting your knowledge in another world to make money in real life. they show school for nobles, but never show commoner's school. maybe there shall be a reincarnated as a weed dealer. |
| Highschool romance but straight ... fuck it, Im too old for that BS cliche. Highschool romance but gay ... yeah, Im in! |
