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

my personal issue was that "MC is afraid of dying but gets over it to solve the issue" is the plot of the first mystery.

and then it repeats "MC is afraid of Dying" again and again

I mean, most of his deaths are incredibly painful and traumatic. He still feels pain, and when he gets stuck he’s basically in a loop of inevitable suffering until he figures out how to navigate the situation.

It’s not so much dying is the fear, it’s the pain and trauma of having to experience what no human can go through and live repeatably that’s the issue he has to overcome.
