Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?

But what the hell, I'm pretty sure there's more isekai now than other genres/settings. It's gotten to a point that if I see the tag I just move on.

Nope. I'm over it.

The market is oversaturated and it's time to pivot to a new genre

I made this joke in another thread, but it's relevant here too. Anime lately in a nutshell is basically:

"Problems of a Paladin: I became the strongest hero and broke the villainess heart for the 7th time with a cheat code to chill out and be the best protector in another world! Why am I a loser in this time loop????"

Perfect title, just need a poster with the generic protagonist surrounded by his harem

Oh believe I'm ahead of you. For the lulz,,I tried to use an AI generator to see and it couldn't produce it. Only was American animation art style

IIRC, the reason titles are like that now, is that japanese people stopped reading light novel descriptions, so this is how the publishers made up for it.
