The bad ones are Lv 2 kara Cheat datta Moto Yuusha Kouho no Mattari Isekai Life, and Assassin de aru ore no Sutetasu ga Yuusha yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi Nodaga.

I actually rather like both of those.

Really good isekai is Jui-san no Oshigoto. Mc is veterinarian with no particular cheat, magic or fighting ability. Manga (novel isn't translated) also tackle well with slavery without falling to traditional tropes that comes with it.

I found an interesting reincarnated as the villainess isekai premise. Namely that it's technically not an isekai and that the villainess, so far as I can tell, really is still kinda evil. She's the reincarnation of some otaku girl, but doesn't have her memories. Instead, since she's a witch she used magic to look back into the past and saw her past life. The otaku girl was watching an anime based on her where she was the evil witch villain for the show who had been manipulating things behind the scenes. She gets exposed during the marriage with the prince when he condemns her publicly.

However, she carefully avoids doing anything wrong and comes up with a (possibly true) cover story to justify any wrongdoings she didn't have control over, but it sounds like her personality is still pretty terrible. Waiting to see how things go since I do expect her to turn out to be a decent person after all but for now it's fun.

It's called The Last Boss Witch Will Keep Her Past Self’s Crush Until Her Dying Day. Title comes from taking a support character from the anime as the kingdom's apology for the prince breaking off the engagement, which she refuses to go through with after pointing out his impulsiveness in accusing her with no proper evidence.

Lol

Speaking of which...I'm currently read Destruction Flag Otome a.k.a. Bakarina. Reminds me a lot of Botsuraku Youtei except the protagonist is rather dumb and funny and currently enjoying it so far tongue

[up] I also quite like Bakarina, i think after she regain her past life memories, her IQ got a steep drop.

I kinda suprise since there hardly any Isekai games. The only one i can recall is F Inal Fantasy Tactic Advance and it sequel.

Having read more villainess isekai, it becomes clear that Bakarina is a parody of a parody. ...I guess I already kind of knew that, though.

Incidentally as I've been reading the one with Bertia I've been really hoping that the very last scene is from her perspective with an evil look and a keikaku doori after stealing away the heroine position.

I'd imagine he'd appreciate being around a girl who isn't stalking or bashing his face in.

But what would she even see in him?

Then I guess he might have a chance, but tbh I think Bakarina might be more into girls than guys.

Katarina was able to understand a confession! It just took two tries and two kisses.

Thinking it over, Ichika could take the place of over a dozen Isekai protagonist and the plot would be more or less the same.

Swap in Katerina though, and things get a whole lot more hilarious.

Parody protagonist always more interesting than standard protagonists since they don't have to follow a certain mold.

Are there any Isekai where the protagonist is a 100% white knight, lawful good character. Like he have the 21st century moral standard but when clash with fantasy medieval moral standard( slavery is okay, racism, loyal to the king even if he a asshole) he would be like " No, screw the rule is do what right" 100% of the time without hesitation. Most Isekai protag is saw either pragmatic or unfazed when confront with those things.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie
