>>stupid (very few MC use traps, have detailed strategies, even when he knows his enemies are coming)
This is honestly a good point to discuss. I think the issue is that most authors are scared of writing their stories in a truly intelligent way because that is difficult to write and are mostly coming up with derivative shit they've seen others do. You have a lot less leeway with a weak plot once you start making your characters pick the intelligent solutions and even though you can produce a way better story that way, most authors are probably afraid of writing themselves into corners where there really is no good reason for the drama or bullshit high stakes situations to unfold in a way the MC has to involve himself with it.

>>903
Yeah I used to think maybe jump forces them to use the same shonen and isekai templates over and over again, with cuck mcs crying about muh friendship, but in reality japs are just lazy hacks and lost the passion long ago.

It's funny that you're trying to connect self insertion with mental states because thinking in third person is a proven trait of 3DPD women. You can see it in how much they care whether two imaginary characters hook up or not ("shipping"). It's their version of a waifu, it's their idealized relationship, but they're too stupid to conceptualize themselves receiving the love, so they have to project it onto another character, and then they send death threats and make angry video essays when their reality television for young men doesn't end with two dudes macking off.
So I find it ironic when you're using words like "fag" to describe the kind of guy who starts lifting because he wants to be like Goku from Dragon Ball.

>>903
tl;dr: you get away with more plot contrivances if your characters are stupid, because people hold smarter characters to higher standards.

>>904
This too. It's not exclusively a Japanese problem either. After the first few trend-setters and ground-breakers, most of the people playing in that field afterwards are no longer thinking in terms of how to make a good narrative or craft an interesting and compelling storyworld from the ground up but are instead thinking in terms of how to do the cool shit they've seen others do before them but "better." The resulting lack of attention to detail and lack of understanding of what it means to create quality content as opposed to imitate and expect quality to emerge as a result of following the formula is what leads it being a derivative, shallow work. They all feel creative doing it, but when you use the methods of others as a crutch then the result will be a crippled experience.

You don't have to try to be unique or differentiate to be creative. You just need to understand the mindset of creating the genre and story for the first time and you need to be able to approach your production that way. If you don't ask those questions ("what is this story about?" "what kind of spirit am I tapping into that should resonate with audiences?" "how do I make sure the audience experiences the impressions and themes I intend?"

That's why hate Araki or love him, atleast he makes original works, in his own style.

Ok, finished reading it.
The manga can be split into 3 parts: the incident, extended flashback and the fallout.
The first part just pulls you right in the meat of things in part by tiddies and never let's character or you get any rest, very engaging and entertaining.
The extended flashback adds more context to the incident, doesn't drag it's feet and felt needed.
The fallout felt weaker to me ether because the characters started leaving the frame of the story or I was getting burned out on it. But we do see blank slate character actually doing something for once, and having agency.
The ending: it was intentionally unfinished I think, but still very frustrating with the amount of sometimes over explaining this manga had to have it just end.
>pozzed
Are you talking about crossdressing? He was treated as mentally ill like he actually is.
I think it's good but for some reason I just couldn't take it seriously I just laughed out loud at some serious revelations but that's a me problem.

Also only at the end I saw that main character and his homeroom teacher look almost exactly the same as characters from Sensei wa Koi wo Oshierarenai.
If you wanted a good end for them then check it out, I liked it a lot.

>Not if there is no multiple girl ending or something that involve romantic relationship with multiple girls at once during the common route
That kinda made me think about something. What if there was an anti harem essentially a pathetic loser trying to win over multiple girls and just gets denied until he stops giving a fuck and it becomes a harem again.
I don't remember any anime doing anything similar.
>highschool dxd almost does it but just girls fall over main protagonist kun and jiggle their tits around for no reason and love him for no reason

>>777
Sound like Golden boy but it's not an harem since he go after the girls one by one and then go somewhere else with a new girl.

>>774 (OP) 
Redo of Healer

>>776
Part of me wonders if the reason it fell off wasn't also because they lost some of their charm with the transition to computer graphics and animes like that need charm to function. Imagining Tenchi Muyo rendered with modern computer methods makes me think the viewership would've been distinctly lower and the series less well-liked.

>>776
The "tsundere love interest who beats the shit out of the MC at the slightest misunderstanding" trope popularized by Love Hina is definitely a defining cliche too

>>432
What? I mean, Dio could probably end part 3 in his favor since Jotaro would never figure out that The Star could stop time, unless The Star also mirrors Killer Queen in that scenario, in which case how can anybody know? Part 4 is a similar situation. Are you presupposing that Jotaro realized his stand can utilize timestop? Another problem is that Killer Queen was the first big evolutionary stand. It's hard to compare back to the previous part when that wasn't a concept yet. Perhaps you could better explain what you mean?

I got burnt out of reading Jojo during the shitty zombie arc in Jojolion. But I can't imagine the story getting any gayer than it was in Vento Aureo without having actual on-screen buttsex,
Even with the Netflix budget bullshit, the Stone Ocean adaption made me appreciate the original story way more. It really examined the themes and characters of it's universe, and the fights stretched the concept of stand battles to it's absolute limit.
>>432
Dio is probably fucked. KQ is optimized for stealth kills and stealth kills only. Forgetting that Dio is, well, Dio, he can't really hide like Kira did because of Hermit Purple. Really, it's a question of whether he can get everyone in one room to fire off SHA. I don't think the Stardust crew has a direct counter to it.
Kira probably wouldn't even be in the position he's in during the start of DIU because he probably would have been busted a long time ago. Za Warudo would have been way harder to clean up bodies with. Maybe he could do Diavolo style cleanups once or twice, but he's just not going to be able to get rid of the bodies as easily as he did with KQ. If things go the way they did in the manga and everyone makes it to a fight, it'll probably be like Dio vs. Jotaro again, but Kira might have a little better chance of surviving because he doesn't have a bum leg to kick Jotaro with.
Stone Ocean doesn't happen at all because the Za Warudo holder doesn't care about the Hea

>>856
I got repulsed by chapter 1, does it get any better?

>>863
Yeah, the stand fights are as cool as ever, and the villains are better than the JoJo gang for the first time ever.

>>829
>>832
What did I say wrong? it's objectively what the scene alluded too, Rudeus was a fucking Hikikomori. I'm talking from a pure plot viewpoint, but it's you who're the cuckchanners and associate any kind of modernity criticism with /r9k/ and other social media bullshit. Get out of your bubble, same issues are in Japan and every part of the world.

Dear cockslurping OP, I did't even have the slightest idea of anime you are talking about existing. And I have no intentions of watching isekai (?) anyway.

Yes it is an isekai. Mushoku Tensei is on the upper tier of isekai even if I think the anime itself just drag on and on. At least there is a time progression which include people getting old, people getting pregnant and having kids.

>>836
There are better way to start a Mushoku Tensei thread, feel like a shitty fourchan bait thread especially with the 2nd question.
To answer the first half, Rudeus is reincarnated he can't go back he's fucking DEAD in his original world. You would know this if you weren't braindead AND retarded at the same time.

>>845
>To answer the first half, Rudeus is reincarnated he can't go back he's fucking DEAD in his original world
That’s irrelevant and a pathetic attempt to refute, since the show showed you the contrast between his old and new life, and how he’s enjoying his time to the fullest now. Even if he wasn’t dead he would’ve never wanted to go back and you know it.
What I said doesn’t apply to any isekai, for example in Re;Zero, we’ve been shown that Subaru loved his parents and misses them, he just died by accident. So obviously not all isekai are about blackpilling, and  my thread wasn’t some 4cuck template.

Speaking of Dragon Ball, does anyone know what's this mysterious "Starter Book" thing that came with a torrent for the RAWs? I'm guessing it's like a super condensed version of the story to fit into two volumes but I'm not sure.

If you didn't feel adrenaline or wonder in these scenes i don't know what to tell you.
Also just realized yesterday was Piccolo Day, for you newfags that means old /a/ got CP posted to bother the jannitoids. Good old days.
