Tidal wave of people bashing this for being a Light Novel and/or a reincarnation series in 5...4...3...

Nothing against the title itself since I have not yet read it, but I wish J-Novel would at least try to get a title that isn't Isekai.....

I'm still hoping to one day see Sakaki-sensei's Outbreak Company novels get an English release... I'm so curious about what happens after the anime...

Sakaki is a good author i saw and read most of his works, this one not yet as their was no english translation, but now that it does i will.

It looks likeanother fantasy story that mixes science with magic. a common theme of his works, i am pretty sure this will get an anime eventually. all of his works were adapted in some anime form.

Well, I think I'd rather wait for the ebook on the 13th. I liked Scrapped Princess a lot, and Chaika was good. The summary didn't mention who the girl was? Unless she is the erdgod?

About half their series aren't:

Occultic;Nine (supernatural mystery), My Little Sister Can Read Kanji, I Saved Too Many Girls and Caused the Apocalypse, and My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World (chuuni fantasies), Brave Chronicle (battle school), and Paying to Win in a VRMMO (SAO parody).

But 7/13 series being isekai is a lot, especially when one of them (Isekai Smartphone) is what you find after scraping Death March off the bottom of the barrel.

Might have more to do with the fact that the light novel ratio in Japan with isekai/non-isekai works is likely even worse currently...
