With the endless potential of madness such titles could have they always seems so generic. Let's go wild ! I want to read "My new life as a fake salt shaker that instead contains a spice with the highest capsaicin levels in the world that is used as a truth serum to extract info from political opponents of a soon to be dictatorship ethno-state made entirely of cat girls."

Like, imagine a character saying in a serious tone: "either you tell me who's the spy or you get no milk."

Ill make my own isekai, with orcs joining starfleet.

I would pay good money to watch Orcs learn about self-determination and the rights of sentient beings and become a UFP member, rejecting Sauron's authority and overthrowing him. Also Orcs and Klingons!

I have never seen something so wildly inappropriate and yet dead-on accurate.

Preach.

Fuck isekai, all my homies hate settings for authors who can’t be bothered to put naturalistic exposition in their story

Ah yes, here comes exposition dump on how derivative rpg magic system no. 2479223472 works. Wow, I did not know fire was weak to water. Oh wait, here comes the explanation for how rpg guild ranks work for the 99999999th time, great.

I want an Isekai where themain character gets teleported to the Warhammer 40k universe. Instead of a harem, they get brotherhood.

so many adaptations yet Deadman Wonderland didn't get it's season 2

Edit: seriously the manga was so short it probably could have been finished with one more season
