Why are the basically no fantasy/isekai with shounen like character development?
Nearly all fantasy/isekai borrow massively from rpg games. But the core appeal of rpg games is slowly leveling up becoming stronger and is completely missed. Basically all fantasy/isekai anime have insantly overpowered characters. It makes them so boring and pointless to me. The hook of getting stronger is incredibly successful in the shounen genre. So it seems so bizzarely uncapitalized.
Please suggest me some if you think im wrong, but ive watched or tried most the popular fantasy/isekai. Even if they dont start the strongest in universe they quickly unlock gimmicky skills that no one else has.
Mushoko tensei has alot of flaws but its one of the only isekais where mc slowly gets stronger. And I think its the main reason why its so successful. Weakest beast tamer started interesting but then 2nd half felt like a completely different unrealated show. Shows like shield hero and solo leveling and other do start weak but they become OP/strongest so fast, they dont have the gradual and continous progression that shounen genre does so well.
