Is sci-fi isekai the next big thing for the isekai genre?

I don't think you can have a pure sci-fi isekai except by kidnapping the protagonist.
If he magically wakes up in a sci-fi world, you have the *magical' waking up to account for in your sci-fi. Otherwise it's a plot-hole.
Science fantasy though? Why not. I don't think it'll ever be mainstream like DQ isekai is, but I sure wouldn't oppose it.
On second thought, there might be a variety of means to have sci-fi isekai.
Put your start-setting into the near future. The protagonist is a test pilot on a relativistic flight research project.
He blasts away at some 90% of C or whatever and does a merry cruise or two around the galaxy and comes back many, many years in the future.
In the meantime, Earth has been dismantled, humanity has moved to a Dyson Sphere and for some reason everybody's wearing monocles.
PSO would actually make a great setting for an isekai, wouldn't it?
>science magic exists
>many fictional races exist
>evil exists
>a lot of mystery and corrupting forces exist
>amazing aesthetic
Trends coast on theme, not premise.
If we're going to have scifi it's not via isekai.
>ching chong frontline
Kill yourself, redditor.
Or have a ftl ship lost and have the MC and maybe a large crew or colonists sent to another universe. The tech level of the other location they arrive in could be anywhere from another fantasy world to a much less advanced but still interstellar civilization.
A good chunk of sci-fi lit already has some sort of clueless way our of his depth protagonist that acts as a proxy for the reader, no need to shit things up further with elevenoid power fantasy.
No it's too hard to write for average Narou retard. They will copy generic jRPGs forever.
There is that EVE Online isekai but it quickly turned into really crappy smut.
/isekai/ is recovering.
The one with the lewd space elf?
Maybe we should go back to the Planetary Romance Isekai like John Carter
I mean, there's always reincarnation isekai, which uses a mechanic that isn't quite "magical", even if it's non-scientific.
Random wormholes.
SciFi is boring in general. Unless it borrows from the supernatural.
Let me get this straight, why anyone would stay isekaid when life here is way better?
>read chinese isekai
>a guy fucks a literal fox
china, wtf man
>No Futurama Isekai
Fuck
>life here is way better
How many sex slaves do you own?
How often do people call you amazing for your ability to make rice dishes?
When was the last time a vampire loli sat on your lap and ground her bottom against your crotch?
Depending on the world and any potential cheats received, isekai can be much better.
The protagonist is a pizza boy that accidentally falls into a cryogenic sleep for a thousand years. There, isekai.
No, because mc's high school knowledge won't be so impressive.
It's a dystopia. People Wikipedia was banned by the government and everybody is really lacking trivia knowledge.
As if you wouldn't fuck a fox.
>not cultivating your pets into cute waifus
MC's old fashion knowledge wins him through
you can at least wait until we aren't dying from a pandemic before making such a post
>Space dildo merchant LN version was killed because it was in the early phase of narou boom
I miss it
that would be native isekai.
Try reading pic related. It's what Futurama stole a lot of its shit from anyway.
Wish there was more stuff that went pointlessly in-depth about adventurer guild nonsense and related stuff ala Skeletor, Last Alchemist or Sword Dad, it's neat.
Dunno, dude, I'd love to be a floating rock with attitude.
Mate, it's piss easy to make up reasons for people to suck the MC's cock no matter the setting.
there's also Kansustoppu
>that one HFY story where the super-advanced aliens find humanity cute and cuddly
Trends come and go. Sci-fi doesn't give the same game shit contrivances and fantasy adventure tropes which make it "relatable" and easy to digest.
Fantasy is, in a way, also "easier" to write. It's why these fantasy isekais are often so derivative. People give it a pass easier. It's more difficult to do anything with sci-fi or space opera without people going "that's just star wars" or "it's the same in star trek". In fantasy everyone seems to accept that well of course there has to be elves and dwarves and adventurers and shit. Fantasy is more familiar. Everyone knows the basic conventions. It's more work to envision a futuristic world, rather than a fantastic past that follows vaguely Tolkien/D&D derivative conventions. Writing a compelling narrative is equally difficult in either, but the other has simpler trappings for the bare minimum.
Most of these writers are also godawful, so stuff like game mechanic fantasy drivel is the only thing they can push out, and it's the kind of shit that dumb readership will eat up.
That said, I wouldn't immediately turn my nose up if some madman made a proper sword and sorcery isekai.
Just have the MC be a space high schooler getting stranded on a less technologically advanced planet.
Speaking on fucking a literal fox, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo was updated. With a full frontal of Roxanne - I'd breed that dog like there was no tomorrow.
I like it when the artist keeps her hips uncovered like that.
>Sci-fi doesn't give the same game shit contrivances and fantasy adventure tropes which make it "relatable" and easy to digest.
Bullshit, the majority of science fiction is less Childhood's End and more John Carter.
That's like saying is horror the next big thing for romance? Scifi is it's own distinguished genre.
Ditto. And now Roxanne is more comfortable around Michio, there are plenty opportunities for that.
I think Sherry will be introduced next chapter.
>Ditto. And now Roxanne is more comfortable around Michio, there are plenty opportunities for that.
There are plenty of opportunities that Michio already sees, we just don't get to see it also.
>I think Sherry will be introduced next chapter.
At the end of the next raw chapter maybe, or the next.
Looks just like Tolkien, bro.
Well that's true. It's not that sci-fi can't be that, but consider how many nip otakus have read Mars books, and how many have played Dragon Quest. Fantasy is simply more popular and relatable for that audience.
He's certainly more confident about telling her to undress. I wish we would get to see him do the the same for Sherry without Roxanne's help.
I died and woke up past the death of the universe?
does that work?
have some examples?
I remember the series that got me into chinkshit being LLS where MC evolved a bull into a muscle tomboy waifu and a flower into a plant loli
I haven't read many others where MC turned animals into monster girls but usually demon races (animals that cultivated and obtained human form) has showed up in many a Xianxia harem now and again. There was series like Emperor Domination where MC seduced literal rocks.
In monster paradise the MC managed to raise a random genius parasitic plant into a hot redhead and Cultivation chat room has a good chunk of the cast be humanized monsters, including a onion girl that might as well be green Aqua.
thanks guys
The only sci-fi isekai around is that 'saves girl from rape, gets rewarded with sex' trash
Is sleeping Isekai a thing? I remembered Rip Van Winkle and this one K-novel I pirated that was pretty okay.
fantasy elves or space elves
both are made for rape
>The only sci-fi isekai around
Muv Luv. There's probably more obscure stuff. Even Star Trek had the Mirror universe. Any time travel stories that operate on split timeline rules, as well.
I don't reccomend you to pick up Monster Paradise unless you want to laugh at SASUGA, SUPREME GENIUS-SAMA, US REGULAR GENIUSES CANNOT COMPARE WITH YOUR ABILITY TO MOVE TEN TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT BUT STILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET TO A PLACE THAT'S 20K KILOMETERS AWAY memes and shit like literally Dante but as a Chink.
oh god
i hate that kind of stuff
thanks for the warning
Titles please
LLS is Long Live Summons
though I dropped it after it gotten really convoluted
Isekai genre should die
I don't recommend LLS either
MC is basically isekai Rance but it goes hard with the Sasuga OP bullshit for him as well
nor emperor domination which is basically if OPM had DBZ level padding
>MC is basically isekai Rance
But without the parts that make Rance fun?
The whole GENIUS ALLIANCE thing had me in stitches because of how stupid it was but yeah, overall I wouldn't reccomend it unless you're a lover of all things silly and stupid.
Just read Cultivation Chat Group, it's one of the few xianxia things I feel alright reccomending to people without a disclaimer, it's not perfect or anything but it consistently manages to put a smile on my face and the cast is lovely and colorful and very united in seeking death.
sometimes it's the case, early chapters he's pretty great. It takes awhile before he fucks his harem, but that actually makes it worse as the pacing grinds to a halt for sex scenes
Like farscape which in hindsight is very isekai-y
