    i know of the joke of invisible dragon but there is one other that i have seen pop up now and then. and that is Mushoku Tensei . and i read quite of bit into it a couple of years back , until i came to the conclusion that i thought it was garbage ,
    but still people are recommending it and even the reviews are all good. is it something i'm not getting ? or is it just a joke like invisible draon ?

    You thought a novel is bad, everyone in the world must think the same. Every novel is a joke now

    Although it feels like it, I think they are actually serious.

    Maybe, just maybe, people can have different opinions than you and whatever you think of something isn't the gospel truth.

    Is this post a joke? Well, keep in mind that at the time, Mushoku Tensei was fresh and original. If your tired of the troupes and look down on Mushoku Tensei for them, it was written at the time that they were not over used troupes yet.

    Mushoku Tensei was probably one of the first few novels I actually finished, it was good in my opinion.

    No they are really recommending it... although i think most parts were good, i kinda know a little where you are coming from, and i too would not recommend it but it has many fans, number rising, so it must be good, it just isn't to your or mine tastes, would be the best explanation.

    Mushoku Tensei is the original of Truck-san. Truck-san crossed realms and came back. Truck-san then evolved into many forms of public transport. ALL HAIL TRUCK - SAN

    Honestly I think its garbage too but I get it, I even recommend it to people starting out. It has most characteristic that would draw a new reader in like readability, good world building, easily relatable characters, long running, etc. it definitely gets garbage later on but new readers wouldnt notice, they would still be high on the whole new world they were open to. So yeah, it's trash but it's a good recommendation.

    Edit: Also it is a pioneer of tropes like truck-san as mentioned, actual harem, and others I cant remember.

    yeah , people may hate me for it , but i'm not a fan of lolis nor border-line pedophilia like a 46 year old in a 12 year old body with a 12 year old girl ,
