the underwhelming dense pang of sadness mixed with the loss of personal identity and opportunity that goes hand-in-hand when you're forced to live with your parents as someone well into their adult years lol

the loss of privacy. the absence of choice. the desire for more that's out of reach.

sorry this was supposed to say overwhelming. it gets to be too much. trying to fit your adult interests in the confined spaces of your childhood room; the emotions of your younger self piled within the crevices of this one room that you're able to express yourself in is... overwhelming and choking

not to mention the mixture of emotions, right? grateful you're not homeless. grateful your parent extends a helping hand. grateful they understand why you're not on your own. yet you're still grieving what could be. grieving the creativity you have to shelter because it's not your space to create. the experiences you must only daydream, the ones you're missing out on, because you can't bring people over. the rules you must follow, even as a grown adult with your own autonomy, because there are even older adults who want things to be in place; inherently feeling like an infant no matter what you do, no matter how much older you get. etc, etc, etc, and so on.

I have covid for the 4th time (I take care of people who are positive and don't understand they can't snap my mask off. It happens.) My coworkers were making fun of me because they don't know anyone who has had it as many times as me. So I'm wondering.

Isekai with male protags: "I was a loser on earth but now I'm super fucking strong and gettin mad bitches"

Isekai with female protags:

  • Reincarnated princess uses earth knowledge to make magitech a thing and romances sad girl
  • Girl romantically pursues her video game waifu
  • Girl is tasked to teach actual fucking gods to be more empathetic to humans
  • Woman reincarnated as the daughter of a magic item crafter uses earth knowledge to advance her trade
  • "Straight" girl is sucked into a world with zero men and lesbians everywhere and finds out she's sapphic (there's like actual plot but the gay is what matters.... to me)
  • A ghibli film. Need I say more
  • Woman reincarnated in video game as doomed villainess desperately tries to change her story
  • Girl reincarnated as a tiny baby spider kills monsters to level up
  • Like the male protag one but the lame guy's mom got isekaid with him and she's the op one.
  • Two normal girls fight urban legends in terrifying danger dimension

Right, should have thought of that.

In order:

  • The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady (Light novel, manga, an anime has also just barely started)
  • I'm in Love With the Villainess (Light novel, manga, an anime has been announced)
  • Kamigami No Asobi (Anime, manga and visual novel)
  • Magic Artisan Dahlia Wilts No More (Manga)
  • The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me (manga)
  • Spirited Away (anime movie)
  • My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Light novel, manga, anime,)
  • So I'm a Spider So What (Light novel, manga, anime)
  • Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks? (Light novel, manga, anime)
  • Otherside Picnic (Light novels, manga, anime)

I'm annoyed by what SAO did to isekai again so here's some more

  • Girl in fantasy world responsible for executing dangerous isekaid kids falls in love with an isekaid girl who cannot die (The Executioner and Her Way of Life)
  • Girl who has never played a video game before builds a terrible character in full-dive VR game but accidentally exploits game loopholes to become unstoppable (Bofuri)
  • Fucking Inuyasha
  • Adorable bookworm is reincarnated as a commoner in a world where books are extremely rare and decides to make books accessible for everyone (Ascendance of a Bookworm)

If you'd consider Korean isekai, there's even more variety!

This chart is several years old and I've been in and out of the girlsekai community so I don't have the freshest recs, but some others:

  • What if you isekaied. What if you kept isekaing. What if you kept isekaiing the same exact year, as the same exact person, trapped in the same plot that would murder you (often brutally) on the exact same day? At some point you'd have to become a serial killer, right? Resetting Lady = Finally someone makes a girlsekai horror story
  • What if (the above) except it was a silly comedy? If You Lay A Hand On My Brother, You're All Dead
  • Some moony-eyed girl keeps dying during a zombie apocalypse and initially thinks it's some divine test of her devotion to her man. Except honestly. Is he worth this. Do I know this guy enough to warrant the trauma I've woken up to a thousand times. Survive Romance is shockingly more about friendship than anything
  • The first few chapters of My Mom Entered a Contract Marriage - you are the abused daughter of a fallen villainess - once the hottest royal bitch in the kingdom, she's now a commoner, an alcoholic, and extremely bitter. One day she wakes you up, screaming that she's burning. She's shocked you're alive, sobbing and begging your forgiveness. Tbh this is one that's more fun if you've read a lot of princess isekais, because fans will totally pick up on what happened, but her child cannot. Visual treat, I stopped reading because I don't trust artists like this to last long. But what a starter it was!
  • The Holy Grail of Eris - we need more Scarlet Castiels. Look at me when I talk to you, I don't care if you don't like me type princess. If only she could possess us all

same as it ever was

i actually saw a play about doctor semmelweis having a total breakdown because no matter what he did, no one took him seriously. ironically i was the only person in the audience wearing a mask.
