MC can even store his giant ass mecha The strategic utilities are endless and he's treated like crap This is a quite good novel, but there are many problems like how that ability was treated and also the monster gained instant proliferation by just eating a rat, but then why hasn't this happened before lol~ For terrorism too

Sounds to me like either this "military" school should actually be called a combat school or the author doesn't understand a single thing about the real military or the real life implications an infinite storage ability would have.

I notice shounen and shoujo isekai webnovel authors usually have very different ideas when writing fantasy races and their social positions.
For example, shounen isekai usually have; - MC meeting all kinds of fantasy races in fantasy world - elves, dwarves, animal demihumans with all kinds of ears, tails, horns etc. - Races come from all kinds of social positions, from lowest slave to highest ruler. However, shoujo isekai are usually more limited; - MC only meets humans and the world is human only. Sometimes they have magic spirit ancestry, but usually they look completely human; no ears or tails. - Humans usually from higher noble positions, ex. soldier, govt. official, prince. Lower classes are usually domestic help like butlers and maids. I wonder why shoujo-type webnovels are more limited in this aspect. Are the otome games shoujo authors refer to just more limited in worldbuilding scope than the RPG/MMO games shounen authors refer to? Last edited by zztop; 2019-03-26 at 23:18. |

^I noticed that and the reason is simple
Boys prefer adventure Girls prefer romance Quote:
Funny thing is, later, military from different country instantly realize how OP this ability is and also the king of MC's country also realizes it instantly So I guess there was a miracle that makes everyone in that school retarded before just for the sake of "revenge" plot

^All Golems can evolve coz it's the power derived from Monster
Again, why the world is not destroyed yet is beyond me Isn't the childhood friend got zamaa-ed? What happens to her after that? I only finished 1st arc and just jumping around later chapters to know the progresses It seems he boinked the 4 homuncules but the story itself kinda boring

You can still have usual nobility setting, but have MC meet other fantasy nobles, like beastman prince or elf prince. After all even in boys adventure you can still meet beastgirl and elf nobles. But in most otome stories the world is only humans; I don't know if fantasy male race is just unpopular with female Narou readers. |

It gets really boring at times, but it's not like there are many options to choose from. The friend as she could not easily accept how the MC got everything she wanted, she self-destructs to the point that either she is at the mercy of the MC or she will not have a future. |

^So Aileen is in the harem now?
Quote:
In the first place, the human princes are already super handsome so that kills the need for elves Beastmen are usually inferior kinds and Shoujo Heroes are almost always have high standing in society so they are out too This is different from Shounen where they tend to pick up slaves as heroines, Shoujo only wants supreme love interests Realism mah bro And as said before, Shoujo authors can't be bothered to create to create deep fantasy just to get to the romance

For WNs in general, I've still not seen/heard of any with a reincarnator who becomes a dwarf. Too uncool? Also, for reincarnating as non-human, often society plays little/no part. Putting it another way, the story doesn't go deep into non-human societies. For example, imagine a reincarnator in an isolated beastman type society with a strong emphasis on strength and social hierarchy (ie primitive type society). There's occasionally some stories that dip into this a bit but they're always "the demon king's side" and instead of one race getting a lot of focus it's more like a generic society. |

Closest thing I've ever seen to a dwarf MC was this one where the MC (currently an elf) was someone who had reincarnated several times before, was a dwarf in one of those instances, and could temporarily transform into his past selves.

Now everything is just instant gratification Stupid mobile games profit way way more than meticulously crafted AAA games (non-microtransaction) Btw, there are 2 types of harem : 1. MC is trying to obtain many women --> Account for 1% 2. Many women are trying to get the D of hetare MC --> Account for 99%

I think authors are more focused on creating writing careers from WNs nowadays. They write gratifying content that appeals to Narou readers so they can build fanbase and attention. Doesn't have to be very big, just a subset that is noticeable enough. Publisher will notice the attention, then maybe give LN publishing offer to author. If lucky enough, LN will also get manga and/or anime version too. Therefore author now has gained foothold. Notice how most authors afterwords will always thank their Narou readers for helping them to come this far. |

It's possible to have a mix as well. For example, main struggle could be between MC and "best girl" and if any other girls simply throw themselves at him the MC could get them to agree to wait until best girl is captured. If MC is particularly smart he'd intentionally use such bonus girls as learning experience to help capture best girl. |

Examples would be Re:Zero where people screamed at Subaru to pick Rem instead of chasing Emilia Also Kanna no Kanna in which Kanna kept chasing Real for a very long time and neglects the other 2 girls, resulting in people just dropping the series and the LN stopped too Excessive focus to a particular girl in a harem is harmful imho

Three points for the perfect novel.
-Monster girl or with non-human characteristics that stand out. -Non-human protagonist or with non-human characteristics that stand out. -Not hetare. Any recommendation? (as long as doesn't have a hetare protagonist ) |

Do you specifically want romance? If not then maybe "I was a sword when I reincarnated". I'm guessing you want a decent amount of romance though, reading between the lines. Sorry, nothing comes to mind. |
