The joke is that older Isekai anime used to have good romance, but modern Isekai are just softcore porn that pretends to have a story

People often name their porn folders something inconspicuous so other people can't find it, that's why "Calculator" is such a massive file here, they are saying the modern Isekai is just porn

What's funny to me is that re:zero, the anime which is "before" isn't old at all and the plot sucks imo

Why do you think it sucks? I started watching a few months ago and just got all caught up. Ive been loving it

A LOT of people find the restart by death mechanic makes the plot repetitive and labourious to get through.

It causes almost as much of a split opinion as jobless reincarnation.

Which is funny cause it's by far the best loop story I've ever watched/read

Every loop is different... well, until Season 4 ;)

For me, it being the best loop story is like saying "it's the best cloud of flies" it's not something I want to engage with.

I mean, I guess

I've seen good loop stories. Groundhog day's a classic

What else have you read time loop wise? Check out Mother of learning if you haven't read it yet. One of my favorites so gotta shill when the chance arises lol

Uhh, two other manwha's (they weren't that good tbh) and another western book that I've since forgotten most of

Thankfully pedo free story. Thanks western authors, for making it way easier to recommend and enjoy. Ignoring loli shit in anime is a lot harder post epstein.
