    Nah the best isekai was “Whoops, I Fell Down the Stairs and Reincarnated As Yamcha!?”

    Haven't read that one but it sounds like Toriyama might get involved at some point so I'll have to pass.

    Well, maybe Konosuba, but frankly that reads a bit too much like a parody to consider an isekai.
    Loli Elf Pissing Fetish was your best Isekai?

    You poor, deprived man.

    I don't remember that... but yeah, I got a lot of laughs out of it couple of summers ago when the WN was translated. And I haven't read a whole lot of Isekai to be honest so ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯.

    Not quite isekai but in a similar vein, Everybody Loves Large Chests is a good read, especially in the How To Make Your Protagonist An Actual Monster school.

    How do most isekais compare to those xianxias or whatever those Chinese webnovels are called?

    I tried reading a PILLS AND CULTIVATION web novel once, I got bored pretty quickly.

    Reading manwha based off of them goes well enough, though.

    Net positive out of this thread, I'm definitely re-reading Mushoku sometime soon (never actually got to the end come to think of it).

    I actually was wishing it would continue, but alas.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    A parody, pastiche, or satire of a genre still counts as the genre.

    Konosuba is also great.

    I'd say no, the premise is the same but it doesn't really follow any of the tropes that define the genre.

    Isekai = another world

    Digimon is isekai, Narnia is isekai, just like how Harry Potter is Magic High School.

    My personal favorite isekai is The Neverending Story.

    Without watching that, I will say I haven't read Re:Zero's LN but really enjoyed its anime.

    Honestly some of the LNs have crappy enough plots and characters they read like fanfics that got prominent.

    Like that one about the emotionless magic user who has some sort of younger sister that is a brocon. All I remember is the magic school they attend has green school uniforms.
