Will genderbending isekai series be the next big thing after villainess isekai?

This one needs anime.

Why is it that old men are the best girls?

I wouldn't say the best, but they sure make great girls.

I wish, but looks like we're just gonna get more variations on otome isekai.

That's not otome isekai.
That's just normal harem isekai with an otome gimmick.

That's what half of otome isekai is, user.
For example: A high-fantasy adventure isekai, with an otome gimmick.

Next big thing is gender bent whore isekai.

>That's what half of otome isekai is, user.
My point is that if the protagonist is male and the target audience is male and the harem is female (except for potential traps), then it's not otome as people understand it.

user, Erika is published under M Novels (short for "Monster Novels"), a light novel label with a male demographic in mind.
Does that make her story not otome?

I can't judge the story itself because I haven't read it. But from what you said so far, it's not otome.

Erika the character is the villainess of an otome game but Erika the protagonist is just a wand autist with a couple of cute pets.

Well, the protagonist is a female, reborn as the (minor) villainess of an otome game she played in her past life.
It just so happens that her adventures are more dangerous with tones of eldritch horror, given the otome game itself was a kind of murder mystery.
I'm just saying that your definition based on reader demographic is stupid.

Still waiting on an isekai where the MC gnederbends to a cute beastgirl.

You are boiling down a 3 part definition to 1 part and saying that's insufficient?
Well done.

>M Novels (short for "Monster Novels"), a light novel label with a male demographic in mind
Strike that.
Seems like M Novel has a mixed demographic, and their site tags Erika 女性向け.

I wouldn't mind if FUNA protagonists were worse people. Jewloli's pretty average outside of "but if you threaten my loli harem you get admin banned".

So more like a plot focused actual otome game? Better than harem skin then.

Meh, except for Marie this series sucks.

>start otome isekai parody
>few volumes in MC's sister who would be a typical otome lead is 10x more popular than any other character and gets her own book

Really makes you think.

Name a single one.

>villainess isekai
I don't read isekai's, but what's this wave about?

The most cliched story start is that the villainess is on a public event, and getting violently divorced by the prince who was led astray by the "heroine".
Otherwise the story could start with the protagonist realizing that they have reincarnated as the villainess of a game they've played and knowing that they are headed for a nigh-inevitable death because the heroine is obviously going to win.

And then they diverge in various ways.

A bunch of dindu girls that got or will get ntr/cheated with "villainess" in their title
Most of them don't even have drills and rarely ohohoho

Only if he's enslaved and becomes a pet.

Do the villaines really die at the end of these games? Doubt it.

Villainesses aren't in these games.

>the protagonist realizing that they have reincarnated as the villainess of a game they've played and knowing that they are headed for a nigh-inevitable death because the heroine is obviously going to win
That sounds interesting, but I don't want to deal with the isekai bs.
>dindu
what a copout
>Most of them don't even have drills and rarely ohohoho
gay

Okay.

There's a lot of villainess series that don't have isekai or dindu elements. Try Slow Prison Life or Holy Grail of Eris for villainesses that aren't Japanese school girls, and actually are pretty villainous.

I'll check them out. The quarantine has allowed me to catch up on my backlog of completed and ongoing manga, so I've been looking for more interesting stuff.

Most of those games don't have villainesses, making the "heroine" a homewrecker (not like she can actually run from attention considering how much authors love to make them small fries so "villainess" MC could step on them) is only in WNs.
Basically "heroines" are the real villainess in those. I wouldn't be suprised if they started getting drills and ohohohos later
