>>55351292>Especially because inside my own head I know what the real story is. I know it's not an isekai. But that's a version of the story that will never see the light of day, what the public receive is a heavily altered and censored document just like in the real worldThat is the most cucked thing I have ever read. You aren't writing for you at that point. As an author and creator the idea of changing what I want so that more people will consume it is ridiculous especially if I have to alter the plot/setting for it. It's one thing to shift who a character winds up with romantically if chemistry winds up being better with another as the story progresses, it's an entirely different thing to add in an aspect into a story because it's popular and you want more people to read it. Stop chasing trends.
If you write a fantasy story in a medieval setting and then add in an isekai protagonist for no reason other than it draws viewers it's not worth adding in the first place.
