    I prefer novels din vs manhwa/anime. Ang bilis ng story progression and mas fleshed out yung characters. Until now, hindi ko pa din natatapos ung Solo Levelling Manhwa pero 2yrs ago ko pa natapos ung novel.

    Ang lungkot din na wala masyado active sa Otome Isekai na community. I tried uploading memes, pero hindi pa magge-gain ng traction.

    Where my trash pandas at? Ahaha.

      Otome Isekai

      What’s the full title? I’m not quite into isekais as much as I am to romcom, psychological, and drama LNs, but I’ve read KonoSuba from the fifth volume up to end, and I’m currently reading Re:Zero Volume 18 right now so I’m pretty acquainted with the genre.

      Also, I agree. A lot of character monologues are lost when adapting a text-based piece into a picture-based one. That’s why I’m pretty unsatisfied with the anime adaptations of light novels - they just don’t do justice to the characters at all and those that should be redeemable or loveable end up getting hated or shallow. I know it’s hard to translate character internal monologues into something tangible on the screen, but still it makes me sigh. :<

        Mostly target for women yung Otome Isekai (sometimes referred as the Villainess genre), so ibang flavor sya ng “trashness” vs normal Shonen Isekai.

        Naka tambak lang sa kindle ko yung KonoSuba, medyo sortof naging iffy na sya saken ung dwarf arc. Ahahaha

        Eto mga recommendations ko na completed series for Otome Isekais

        Japanese:

        The Noble Girl Who Finds a Nerdy and Plain Guy Moe Thinks that the Arrogant Prince is In the Way - very fluffy. Medyo short-ish read. Title is the summary. Lol

        Observation record of a self proclaimed villainess fiance - one of the best there is sa OI genre. Highly recommended. Premise is reincarnator si Villainess Fiance and ni-confess nya to agad kay Crown Prince fiance (very innocent si Bertha). Story is the “logs” of the Crown Prince observing yung antics ng reincarnator fiance nya. A real fun read.

        Korean:

        I’m not the Final Boss’ lover - not that popular sa OI circle, pero it’s one of may favorites. Premise reincarnator yung isang mob character sa isang action game. Kaparty nya (Jun, the female lead) yung primary character ng game (Fabian). Pero during the 2nd run, she was betrayed by Fabian and sumali sya sa rival party.

        For my derelict favorite - this one is popular pero medyo madaming detractors. What I love about this series is it showcase what happens to the protagonists after “happy ever after” ending. Would their love still prevail kapag wala na yung primary antagonist? What happens to the 2nd male lead?
