Random rant about something stupid but I need to scream out into the void.

So I was finding some stuff to read and I really want to read a good isekai bl one day, but every time there’s an isekai bl it’s NEVER what I want. I just want a regular isekai story that just happens to have a ml instead of a fl. Like, why is it so hard to ask for?? It’s always like, oh they isekaied into omegaverse or oops I got summoned to another world to be the wife(male) of this random fantasy king

LIKE NO. WHERES THE FANTASY ADVENTURE STORY. THATS THE PERKS OF ISEKAIS.

THEY ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE SMUT AND THATS NOT WHAT IM HERE FOR. WHERES THE PLOT. GIVE ME SOME PLOT AND THEN THE SMUT OR SOMETHING

like, is it such a big ask to get a cliche isekai power fantasy story but then they meet a hot guy on their journey and they fall in love??like, you don’t even need to do much world building, im fine with generic fantasy setting with slimes and dragons!

Sorry just random rant about isekai bls

    Like, when I hear isekai bl, I have a CLEAR idea of what isekai means and I just want it to be a regular power fantasy isekai story. But that’s NEVER what current isekai bls are like. Current ones are just a bl with an isekai setting! I want an isekai with bl in it! There’s a clear difference!

    No that’s why I get so sad ;; I’m just honestly so sick of people saying something is an isekai bl when it’s just another one of the “omg i got summoned in another world to be the wife(male) of insert generic ruler” type of stories. Like, you gotta know that’s not what I’m thinking of right?? Like, when has a regular isekai story had that premise? I want a regular isekai but there’s a hot man as a love interest instead of a growing cast of harem stereotypes!

    (Like, I understand it technically is an isekai bl by definition, but it’s written too much like a bl? I want it to be written like an isekai)

    I think the major problem is that majority of isekai bls are for like one volume only so they have to rush the romance. What we need is for an isekai bl to be serialized for a longer run or something.

    Also, I just want a generic fantasy setting honestly. Like, you don’t need to world build so much guys ;; I read isekai to brain rot at 4:00 am

    Yeah!! Like, it’s just the curse that bls always have one volume out before they get serialized. So, they often have to make the main couple’s romance happen in like 5-6 chapters. So you either get a rushed romance or a rushed plot or both.

    (Btw I’m mainly talking about Japanese mangas as they kinda made the isekai genre boom)
