I picked up Isekai Office Worker last week. It turned out to be pretty entertaining, definitely better than your run-of-the-mill power fantasy, wish-fulfillment isekai.
The story follows this dude who gets caught up in a summoning; he didn't get any cheats since he isn't the hero; yada yada usual stuff. But there are a couple catches.
Catch number 1: he has been conditioned to be such a corporate slave in our world that the first thing he did was to volunteer to slave away for the nation.
Catch number 2: without those magical blessings, he has difficulty surviving in this new world - unless he receives "injections" of magic
mild spoiler
Honestly, he doesn't even need to be healed so many times, had he not pushed himself so hard.
Unless he actually looks forward to the "healing" sessions with Aresh... ๐
Bro basically enjoys getting fucked in the ass, both figuratively and literally.
With this kind of premise, it immediately stood out and differentiated itself from most other isekais. The main characters may be tropish, but they are by-and-large level-headed and at the very least not dislikable.
Beyond all that, I also enjoy the political, drama-based direction it is heading in.
If you are tired of the usual junk food, consider checking this one out.
