writing in isekai genre creatively
[Question]
07 02,2021
You know, isekai genre is such a commodity nowadays, it's difficult to even distinguish it properly. I love it, but I still have to admit that it has been growing stale, with all of the "villainess" and "mediocre protag with a cheat" and "dude with a harem of fantasy girls" scenarious. I noticed that it had become more of a crutch for stories - just some plot convinience to set up the story, which then is run on "easy mode", so that author can focus on romance and cool action and whatnot.
So, my question: if you were to write an "isekai reincarnation" plot, how would you subvert the normal formula to make it interesting?
Example: I've been thinking about starting a story set in a roguelike-inspired game world - not RPG or otome - where the MC, who is placed in a body of the weakest, most challenging character, keeps dying and returning to the beginning, with everything lost and the dungeon completely randomized. That way, the stupid trope of "ooooh, i know EVERYTHING about the plot and dungeons and secret quests" is demolished, and the MC has to use their knowledge about the game creatively.

Um... anyways
Seth Jerred "You're quite emotional today, my dear." He said those words inches away from his lips. Seth Began to Kiss Ryuu, pushing His Tougne In.
Seth looks at How Peaceful he couldn't help Kisses him again.
And again
And again
Ryuu Pounds his fist against the man.
Again
And Again
No One sees Them, So Ryuu Glaces At Seth His Azure eyes meet Seth's Ruby Red eyes. There Was The Usual Lust Set In the tall man's eyes. Seth being Aggressive with him; Ryuu didn't know the source of his bad mood. He thought to Himself It may be better If he let the man have his way with him.
The Man Fully Sumbittied Himself to the kiss and let Seth do Whatsoever he wanted. He wrapped his head around his neck.
"S-eth." Ryuu mummer against his lips, His speech was desperate
"..." Seth Pulled away for a moment. It had been A while since they last did it. Ryuu's voice took Seth by surprise. Seth's Desire to ruin the shorter man had overcome him.
Seth grabbed Ryuu's arm, and they walked off into an abandoned room no one used. They Locked the door behind them. The Two continued on their make-out session, leaned up against a desk Seth encircled his arms around Ryuu's waist and gripped them tightly. Ryuu gave out a soft moan, Gripping His Brown hair in pleasure. Seth gave him quick kisses on his neck. The other man nearly began to whimper but held himself back.
Seth Smirked and Seemed to say. "You Taste so good, baby." Seth Pulled away. The Man Bit His Neck and kissed it passionately. Leaving Marks on it. Ryuu Held onto him even tighter "How does it Feel holding onto me like this and as I spoil your neck."
He hoarsely whispered into his ear. "Don't be shy now. Let me hear your voice." he went back to kissing Ryuu, and he couldn't contain it and gave out a loud moan. He quickly becomes conscious of the moan and covered his mouth.
Girl I made the whole thing, but cut is short because it's long.
And In the wise words of someone I know. "You see that? No of course you didn't because you didn't do shit, now go do something productive!"

I have become way to comfortable on this site, I feel like I can ask this.
(this isn't that important)
So Yesterday I Shared This: http://www.mangago.me/thing/about/299345/ My Best Friend.
And She asks Me to write the A whole Chapter, Of this (She Is a writing genius, I asked her to critique it because why not.) I Tell her
"You Know I can't do that right?"
"Sure you can, If You Don't I'll share it to [insert my whole friend group, group chat]"
"Is that a threat? are you threatening me?!"
"Yes, Your a good writer I need you to become more confident."
(weird of her to say that but whatever)
"What will you do with it?"
"Nothing Much, I'll keep it for myself."
