This is a thread to discuss what makes Isekai, particularly the many long named power-trip ones of today, different from other series
I for one, think that there’s a difference in Combat Power/Ability compared to those in Shounen and Seinen when it comes to their MCs
Isekai MCs don’t have versatilitiy or creative use for their powers, they just just have an ever increasing number of abilities
Shounen & Seinen MCs look to have simpler powersets, putting aside those annoying asspull-powerups, usually involving physical enhancement, flight, weapon enhancement and energy attacks. Those aside, there’s also them improvising during battle, maybe figuring out new techniques/uses and analysing things mid-battle
Maybe, just maybe, like on fanfiction.net there were guys in Japan who looked at all that and thoughg those MCs to be too “slow” and too “weak” at the start and too “incompetent” like Naruto NOT using Shadow Clones to learn a HUGE number of Jutsu to spam, including those 8-Gates but with much less drawbacks
