The World of Isekai and Lid RPG

The podcast hosts discuss the rise in popularity of isekai and lid RPG genres in manga and literature. Isekai refers to portal fantasy stories where characters from our world are transported to another fantastical world, often featuring level up mechanics. Lid RPG, on the other hand, involves characters living in a world where progression and leveling up is a natural part of life. These genres provide an engaging escape for readers who may feel tired or unfulfilled in their own lives. While these stories deviate from traditional storytelling principles by focusing on competent and powerful characters without much conflict, they have gained significant popularity in the fantasy world.
