Must be awkward giving headpats to and being called “mom” by an old dwarf.

So Cayna can cure injuries/remove toxins no one else can, create unique, high-quality potions using methods known only to her, ignore gravity, run on water etc. On top of all that, she is “mother” to some very influential figures. Well, so much for her previous life confined to a hospital bed I guess, because she has everything she could possibly need to live the good life in this one.

Isekai Protagonist Perks too Op! xD

Well she did kinda die from a power outage sooo :/

it prob was truck-kun he hit the power station which took out the power. NO ONE CAN ESCAPE TRUCK-KUN

obviously.. no other has the power to send people into isekais except for Truck-sama.

But I thought truck-sama was on retirement due to the pandemic?

Nah. Truck-kun wouldn't catch covid even if the protagonist's bodily fluids and chunks of flesh were all over his windshield. Because anime logic. Duh.

you have not seen the almighty Train kun :D

you think it was a power outage, but no, it was I, truck-kun

I'm so excited for cayna to see her son and daughter all grown up and everything she did 200 years ago

🤣🤣🤣

😌😄 of course truck-kun.

hahahaah if dio says it,then its true :D

Maybe truck-kun was trying to isekai some random highschool kid but truck-kun missed and then he hit the power supply

Lol

Lmao, this would be hilarious if they animated this

It's like they're saying you should die and y

More like she became op in the game then got isekai’d so I guess it’s past game perks ?

Almost all the Isekai protagonist are so OP now glad Subaru and the kazuma guy is just some guy that do their thing

Still waiting deatchmarch
Satou terraforming mars
Creating lolis

It's kinda cute and funny head patting that old man by his young looking mom

Manga more cute one
Its flat tiny loli
Not big

well being level 1100 even not being an isekai protagonist can do that...

Kartatz moe gap is amazing lol

LOL

I thought that son of cayna the high priest is like a cold guy character but it's the opposite lol

Man isekai characters these days are unbelievably powerful

Inspired by overlord， slime and others

inspired? this story was serialized 10yrs ago, before isekai was even popular.

Well, i guess we could trace Isekai concept as far as to Escaflowne, that is from the 90s i im no mistake, maybe there is other animes even older with the "transported to another world" concept, but not that i remember.

digimon, inuyasha..

it's not a new concept, just became popularized as a main genre somewhat recently

what is new is incorporating game elements, such as RPG and skills.

Escaflowne is one...

Also, Magic Knights Reyearth and Fushigi Yugi.

or el hazard (1995)

but the difference is today most of them have the same or very similar story

fu i miss elhazard .....

Wow El Hazard is a classic. Good thing you remember it too. That was the first one I saw actually.

Log Horizon began in 2010 and a few other Isekai were created before it. Not fair to say that Isekai was not popular just that it had not reached the heights that it enjoys now.
And even with it being older than most, it still has many of the same tropes as the rest of the isekai genre. So while it may not be inspired by Overlord and Slime-dono, it still borrows many of the same cliches.

cant forget about Mushoku Tensei either. often credited as the granfather of alot of isekai tropes. even though it started 2 years after log horizon in nov 2012

Eh? Wait you serious thats why the cover art of the light novel feels so old

Well I'm just a random king who's giving an opinion based little or no information whatsoever xD

Are you talking about the webnovel? Because the LN was released in 2019.

can i ask where i can read the light novel i can only find the web novel that has 6 chapters

To OP for us :3

I don't think this was inspired by slimenor overlord, also there were better isekais before isekai was even a thing, EXAMPLE : Zero no tsukaima, Isekai no Seikishi, MSL Nanoha, Dog Days, Utawarerumono, Digimon, Dot Hack GU (yes digimon is isekai, if sao is isekai whyvcan't digimon also be )etc

Slime is from 2017 so unless the author is a time traveler its impossible, overlord is from 2010, same year as leadale

Alice in Wonderland. That's the first work I'm aware of you could call a legitimate isekai. With the Wizard of Oz a while later.

Dude, you just made my night with your comment. Yes! I just about rolled off the bed laughing when I read this. From now on: main isekai genre reps: Alice in Wonderland, Chronicles of Narnia, and Wizard of Oz.

I mean, these days isekai has become synonymous with pulling a modern character and placing them in a fantasy or otherwise unfamiliar setting. But if you use the traditional meaning, they definitely fit. And I think Narnia fits with even the modern usage. Aslan legit pulls kids in and out of his world as he needs/wants to teach them a lesson. And at the end they die and end up there.

You nail it, who knows? I may not know but their could be in history books way older or in tales about transporting in to another world many years back. So it may not be popular way back but thanks to the internet now it was matter of time when a subject gets hit on the spot it goes viral by the hours.

since when sao is isekai ? underworld sure but isn't that just like simulation of sort?

SAO would count, even if they could get back, they were all mind "trapped" in "another world" with "unique abilities". That's an isekai in a nutshell

Incorrect. The term Isekai literally means "another world" VR is not another world. The characters in them are not transferred to those worlds and the abilities they get are based on the game, not having become real.
Plus the Isekai genre has become synonymous with some type of diety or outside force causing the protag to travel to this other world. Usually permanently though not always. SAO, Digimon, and Dot Hack are all Science Fantasy. Much like Lawnmower Man.

Virtual Reality is a Virtual World. It's not another "real" world but then again there are many series where the real-ness of the world is unclear. If you don't know whether the "other world" is real or not, it certainly FEELS like an isekai, which is the whole point. A genre is about FEELING.

Also if you haven't noticed, "what is real?" has been a recurring theme in game isekais, going back at least to dot hack. ALL game worlds are real, to an extent.

What if the author never reveals whether a game world is an actual other world or not, keeping the matter unresolved for the whole series? Would that mean you couldn't even place it in a genre? Of course not. Everything has a genre. Genre is based on the conventions used to tell the story, not whether the fictitious thing is real inside the fictional world or faux inside the fictional world. To US it's fiction either way.
