Ofc, that also lead me into reading more conventional manga and... well, so much of that shit is depressing on a meta-level. It's a lot of wish fulfillment stuff that panders to a lonely youth audience.

Then I started reading this really awful MMO manga (its listed name is just RPG, but I'm sure it has a less generic name) that, honestly, looks like it could be a crappy webcomic (especially since the reading order seems to be left-to-right instead of right-to-left; in fact, if not for the terrible dialogue that looks like it's the victim of bad scanlating and the kanji in the actual title, I would have just assumed it was American). Everybody in it is making such a big deal about the game and assigning it crazy importance when there's a whole fucking world out there... and that's probably the biggest bringdown of all: I realize that I'm reading a manga about people playing a video game >_> The fuck am I doing with my time? And you know the worst part? Deep down, I know I'm probably going to read the whole fucking thing.

The plight of us all. I'm still disappointed in myself for continuing with the arifureta anime. That show took a nose dive btw which is saying something because at it's peak it was poorly written isekai trash. I'm still probably gonna watch the whole thing. It really feels like some edgy teen fanfiction instead of a story written by someone with talent. Supposedly the anime is butchering the source which already wasn't great to start with.

At this point I don't even mind blatant wish fulfillment but at least write it well. If you're gonna make isekai at least make use of that by making the world interesting. If you're gonna give me cardboard copies of all the other harem girls at least give them some personality. It's just like, it seems SO easy to do it better than most of them are doing it. Like it'd take so little effort to improve.
