STRONG MC

MC is a top gamer in an RPG....until he defeats the final boss and wakes to find himself in the world of the RPG many years later, only now it’s a real world?! Turns out, he still has all his skills and items from when this world was a game.

Yes I like this one. I feel like it’s a bit under the radar, but it’s quite well-done and cute. Some OP-ness too, of course. I hope you give this one a try!

Earth in the future is living in a continual struggle against these invading monsters, and it’s the job of awakened hunters to fight them. The MC has been serving as mundane bait on low-level teams.....until the day he gets caught in a chaotic attack and awakens to his former life as a powerful sorcerer?! Then he sets about recovering the strength he once held and discovering the secrets of this world.

Ordinary MC living in our ordinary world is given a pendant and suddenly wakes up in another, where magic exists?! Unable to get home, he decides to embrace this new place and decides to get stronger. Turns out he has incredible innate talent!

Long. The beginning is great, and then the plot slows down a bit. It’s never bad, it just has a bit too many fighting scenes for the amount of storyline sometimes. Vivid colors and a committed art style. Give it a try if you’d like!

MC is a computer programmer for a gaming company....until he wakes up in the very game with a number of cheat moves?! What he finds, though, is a world rife with prejudice and slavery. He doesn’t try to change everything, but he does help the few he comes across....

This was your quintessential OP-isekai MC manga. Nothing goes wrong that isn’t fairly easily fixed, so it’s pleasant to read, but I wouldn’t say ‘riveting’. There is a harem tag, but it’s not too bad, like some. A relaxing read.

Martial artist enters his first full-dive game as a mage because of a mistake. Turns out, though, that he can still make use of his fighting abilities.

MC suddenly realizes he’s in a real-life version of a game he’s played for years. He’s weak, but gets strong quickly, then sets out to enjoy life, accidentally inventing a few items along the way. Companions are (slight spoilers, be warned!) a former slave elf-magician he’s come across, and a slave whom he’s set free to tank for him.

This was a well-done version of the quintessential storyline for the isekai / OP genre, so it didn’t do much out of the ordinar

Former professional player deemed ‘too old to play well anymore’ is forced to give up his famous account due to internal struggles within the company. So, he leaves on the day the 10th server of the game is to open and begins again from scratch....

Brilliant. Very well-done storyline and character development. Funny, and also interesting for those of us who didn’t know much about RPGs before. MC is intelligent and shameless when it suits him. Highly recommend!

Supreme expert with two past lives (one in magic, the other in swordplay) begins a new life determined to live for himself this time (with all the memories of his past lives), so he becomes an adventurer and travels around with his strong slime companion, Lime.

This is promising in a traditional sort of way (other than the MC + girl relationship, which is typical and annoying) so I’m looking forward to reading more! Note: no signs of harem yet, so fingers crossed it stays that way!

MC is born a “villager” class human - considered the weakest class - but through his own effort is somehow able to raise himself all the away to LV999. But as life goes on, he begins more and more to question and discover the truths of the world.....

I liked this one. It’s much more unrealistic and humor-based than some, but it’s also one of the more unusual ones, and one of the ones I remember more because of it. Yes, MC is OP. Happy reading!

MC’s parents are a hero from a duke household and the mother of creation; daughter is a former chemical scientist reincarnated. Through the benefit of her reincarnation, the MC is street smart and wise in the ways of the world, but there are always darker forces at play, manipulating events as they will. So begins the MC’s story....

This is one of my favorites. There is a lot of light humor, but the logic and scheming is sophisticated, so it’s an interesting read as well as a fun one!
