Every single time I see another Isekai that looks like they've fully given up on even trying to be creative, you get another one like this. Two. Fucking. Sentences. Why even bother at this point?

Wait that's it ? No "he's bullied, and hates women and wants a revenge on the world" stuff ?

I would be a lot less bored by, and disappointed by the popularity of, isekais if it wasn't just the same four already cringe-inducingly overdone tropes being constantly recycled.

That said, I'm sure there's going to be plenty of people who will get vicarious wish-fulfillment and much enjoyment out of this MC doing his "will they/won't they" routine with whatever harem of rotating cardboard cutout teenage girls he accumulates through whatever contrived heroics he'll accomplish by tripping over himself and knowing how to repair door hinges. I can't even hate them for it, either, because the mangaka is clearly technically component, if apparently not very creatively inclined.

I haven't read this yet, even though I'm a fan of this Mangaka, but hopefully this is a sign that Ryugasaki-san will get an anime adaption one day.

Transported to another world.... but how? A magic wand or something? Or like he was coming out of a store and suddenly got transported, or was he in a library reading something and suddenly got summoned in another world or like thrown onto the tracks or the based truck-kun thing. Well no merit in asking because we certainly are at the point of no return now.

Wow you made Zero No Tsukaima, Re:Zero, Rising Of The Shield Hero and other Truck-kun hitting typical Anime's 😂
You should have also included the stabbed to death from Slime

Isekai keeps winning.
I hope they keep the old man dildo scene.

The plot and characters seems boring

Reading that synopsis was one hell of a journey.

Umm, what's the context? Truck-kun??? Sleep-kun???

Jan 19, 2022 9:54 AM by KANLen09

Well that's probably one of the most straightforward synopses I've ever seen. Does he commit suicide, or get hit by Truck-kun while walking home? Or does he just end up in another world?

Meh, the manga isn't that good, i'll probably skip this one.
