Reply to comment by SharpDissonance in [WP] The trickster god, to his horror, finds out that the other gods have grown used to his brand of shenanigans and no longer reacts to them. In response he grants a fraction of his power to seven humans with very different views and has them run wild. by The_Thing_Behind_You
Classic Loki.

Reply to comment by Mera_Green in [WP] When a god summoned your group of friends to save his magical realm, he allowed all five of you to choose your appearance in this world. The first two of your friends chose to be idealized adult versions of themselves. The next two chose fantasy races. Everyone was suprised by your choice... by Martinus_XIV
First off, I don't disagree with you. My first reaction to the prompt response was "Meh. As self-righteous indignant speeches go, I've heard better" (if you get the reference, shout out!).
However, you have to understand the prompt response is so amazingly genre-conscious it's insane. Isekai is all about exploring the what-if, the transformation, the difference between real and fantasy (and power trips and harems, of course, but that's just Japan being Japan). I could 100% see this rant as something at the start or midway point of an isekai show, absolutely. So the author absolutely, completely nailed it.
It's also about never trusting first glances and impressions -- maybe this rant was exactly what the group needed to get on track, or maybe it gets them killed in the next episode.
Also considering isekai target audience.. yeah, you really don't want to overthink them.

Reply to comment by Jufilup in [WP] The knight who saved the princess was a 40 year old man with a wife and kids. He doesn't want her hand he just thinks teenage girls shouldn't be held captive in towers in the middle of nowhere. by Gregamonster
Guy doesn't talk to his wife tho, big mistake.

Reply to comment by Shalidar13 in [WP] You are a powerful psychic. As such, your perception has revealed many mythical/supernatural beings living amongst humankind. This thing standing before you, however, certainly isn't human. It's not even of Earth. It looks you dead in the eyes. It knows you know. by VinesAtMidnight

Reply to comment by Heavenfall in [WP] Before its death, the ancient dragon imparted you the knowledge of dragon magic, which was a true honor to receive, but now every dragon hunter arounds think you're just another disguised dragon. Turns out they can smell dragon magic, not dragons themselves. by Red580
Ohhhh sweet. Beautiful flow and the twist... not really a twist but foreshadowed and projected.
Sins of the fathers and all that...

Reply to comment by Shalidar13 in [WP] In a world of high tech space age technology and powerful harnessed magic, you are a shipbreaker. One day you stumble across a derelict arcane battleship, tell us about the dangerous process of breaking it down. by Im_The_Comic_Relief_
Ohh sweet I love the two steps of depth in tech discussions, enough to get a good idea and immediate innate understanding yet enough wiggle room for details and edge cases later.
Very sophisticated worldbuilding.

>He’s one necromancer with the power to control about a hundred skeletons. That stupid gem maybe doubles it. Behind him is a bandit clan of about fifty. You’re a city of adventurers and a standing army of almost triple that.
Hero used math! It's super effective!

Reply to comment by TechnicallySupported in [WP] Tea is a beverage full of contradictions, of possibilities. It’s a liquid made from solids, it can be served both hot and cold, it can both awaken and relax. If a portal through realities did exist, is it really so surprising that it would be tea? by Jealous-West-1421
Wonderful. You completely dragged me into your world with just "tea-to-be"
