Exploring the Isekai Genre: Why Repeated Tropes Don’t Lead to Copycat Accusations
Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the so-called isekai (another world) reincarnation genre. Many works share common elements, such as “dying in an accident,” “being reincarnated in a medieval-style world,” and “receiving cheat abilities from a god.” I’m curious why these stories don’t seem to get accused of being copycats.
