Interesting bits of an interview with the series author. So, instead of Russian, it was meant to be that the female main character was isekai'ed. From the article:

In this version, the reincarnated heroine would speak Japanese to the protagonist, feeling confident that he couldn’t understand her.

The twist would be that the protagonist was also a reincarnated person who could understand Japanese perfectly. This humorous misunderstanding was meant to form the core of a short story.

If I forgot something please do point it out. The old season is ending with a bang (Mushoku Tensei II's bittersweet ending, Lv2 kara Cheat was fun to the end), let's hope for a good new season!

For me KonoSuba, TenSura and Mushoku Tensei are a given, but what about you guys?

It's official. You're not an otaku nerd anymore if you say Isekai but someone with an extensive vocabulary. Don't let anyone tell you anything else!

Tired of protagonists who are losers in Earth, then "magically" become successful in isekai? This series is for you then.

The main character (Purchinov) is a president of some "random" Eastern European country in Earth. He looks like Putin, but don't worry - he doesn't behave like him, and the manga is not political soapboxing. (Otherwise I wouldn't be recommending it). With an obsession to ride every critter out there.

Yes, the premise is that silly. And the series as a whole, Purchinov is that sort of MC that's actually competent at what he does, except when he sees a critter. "I want to ride it!"

Since a pic is worth 9001 words:

This is from ch3 for less spoilers, but keep in mind that the series is around ch60-70 as of now.

It might be a cliche, a character archetype, a trope, a setting, a theme, anything. Which are the ones that make you enjoy the work more? Which are the ones that you hate to see? And which are the ones who you'd be fine with, if not so overused?

I bet that most of our reading/watching lists have a few hidden gems. Which ones do you recommend to the other people here?

Paul is transported to another world where he doesn't know the rules and has to start over in a strange land. He befriends the locals, goes on adventures, becomes their leader, and eventually saves the planet.

What do we think?

"Mushoku tensei" and "Ascendance of a bookworm" are the normal kind

"Reincarnated as a sword" and "Reborn as a wending machine" are whacky but very fun to read/watch

"That Time I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess's Stat Menu"

is a different beast entirely

This is the long version of the rules. It's being shared here for transparency and disambiguation, but the short version (in the sidebar of the community) should be enough in most cases.

By principle this mod team (currently just me) treats users as reasonable until proved contrariwise. As such, most moderative actions will be gentle; talking is preferable over a banhammer.

Even then, the rules shall be enforced. They'll be interpreted by spirit, and in a per case basis. Furthermore the mod team reserves itself the right to remove content or users from this community if there are grounds to believe that, by doing so, the community will be overall better.

In case of conflict between these rules and ani.social's terms, policies or guidelines, the later takes precedence.
