I saw this comment on one of the posts where someone mentioned how a particular Isekai would've been better without the reincarnation part and this really got my brain, which is usually inactive, working for once. So a big thanks to the person who talked about this.
Anyways, there are some Isekai that i think would actually be great, not just good, without the transmigration part. Like 'Common Sense of the Duke's Daughter'.
I know that the FL uses a lot of information from the modern capitalistic society there, but it would've been better if the FL had instead been reincarnated as a baby, because transmigration doesn't really explain her being hurt by other characters as if she has actually been with them her entire life.
It was the same with 'Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes'. It was just nonsensical. It would've been way better as a normal slice of life like some Japanese mangas with similar tropes. I read a manga about a woman who opens a bar stall on the street at night after her day job gets over. It was unrealistic but 50 tea recipes would've been better that way.
I know that the rofan element in that manhwa was just to sell it more, so i blame the publishing company for this.
These are just two that i can remember from the top of my head, but there are more than these.
Simultaneously, there are those Isekai that do the transmigration trope better like, 'Death is the Only Snding' where Penelope's first instinct is to get out of the game or in 'I'll Just Live on as the Villainess' where the FL isn't strangely attached to all the characters and decides to live in solitude. Or even the explanation in 'I'm a Villainess Can I Die' made sense to me as i could make a proper theory out of it.
Maybe it's the publishing companies trying to force authors to add reincarnation/transmigration in their stories since they sell better, but i think it's sad that these same things destroy what could've otherwise been good stories.
I mean, what's the point in adding this unneeded element, if you don't have an explanation for it? "Her memories and emotions fused with mine and i could feel that she's crying inside of me", like what? You just trapped a character inside of their own body so you could reincarnate a 30 yo depressed, stressed out woman inside their 15 yo body and make that little girl watch how this woman is getting everyone's attention and love while she's in there feeling miserable.
And miraculously, at one point in the story, this transmigrated woman feels a bit guilty and the og owner of the body just tells her, "Girl, don't be sad. I'm happy". Like.... Wtf? This is how villains are created, but here, this person isn't even being given a chance to become the villain.
