Best-selling, ill-advised manga idea
4 years ago
Don't do it first. Do it better.
Much as I like that last journal, it's time to replace it with something: An idea for the next "how did THIS shit become the next blockbuster?" manga. Names changed to protect the guilty.
Evertide: "That time I got isekai'd to save some tribal babes, except they actually did the fighting, I was the chief's stay-at-home husband."
Evertide: If it's not a manga yet, it will be. Mark my words. It's an isekai thing, only the schmuck does the domestic stuff and is married to a badass...who does badass stuff while he does what he's apparently good at. Which is NOT being a save-the-world warrior. But their teamwork lets them save the world and have nice things too. And honestly this sounds like something I'd watch both because it sounds like it'd be pretty funny and would be nice to see things from that angle.
Chat Buddy: Isekai, that’s a new name for me I think
Evertide: Sorry, I forget sometimes that weeb stuff isn't always as widespread as I think. It's the term for the genre of "protag(s) are whisked from their world to the planet/dimension/AU/in short, the setting of the main story."
Chat Buddy: Ooooo
Evertide: And usually, that means randos from the modern world are sent to a fantasy one. That they're totally unqualified to save but they do because...something something.
Evertide: ...Hm, you ever have moments where you accidentally think of something great but you lack the ability to make it happen?
Chat Buddy: Always
Chat Buddy: I keep wanting to put elaborate stories to commission and I feel like I come up short
Evertide: Well maybe someday we can collab on this next best-selling, ill-advised manga.

Human: After your last Imperial caravan raid, I kept some flour and sugar.
2nd: That garbage? Sugar makes you fat and lazy. And flour? What good is food that has to be mixed with other food before you can even eat it? How can you call that food?
Human: I made a cake. It's not a big or a great one with what I've got to work with, but it's the best I can do.
2nd: What is...cake, human?
-Later-
2nd: All right, listen up. Fellow warriors, on our next raid, the human gave me this list of...what did he call them...in-gree-dee-ints. We're carrying back as much of them as we can. And you domestics? You take cooking lessons from the human now.
