  • My main critique of the genre is how lazy it’s done. There’s nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it’s still really good. The problem is that they’re all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.

    They’re also fairly unrealistic. “Gasp…is this that isekai thing I’ve been reading about? I guess I’ll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I’ve never been in a dangerous situation before.”

    There’s no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.












  • Singular they sometimes works and sometimes it sounds odd. It usually sounds off when used by itself without following something explicitly singular.

    “The customer forgot their wallet. Can you bring it to them?” sounds correct but if you just do

    “They forgot to pay their bill” it sounds like you’re referring to multiple people instead of a singular person.

    Edit: Changed to a better example.
