I am writing an Isekai Story which avoiding all OVERUSED tropes, No harem, no gaming system, no highschooler MC, no Cheat skill, no DEMON LORD, no glorified japanese Culinary, No Idiotic MC, No easy language barrier translator...
Instead I focused in magic system, world building, MC that actually summoned BECAUSE hes a hero, no DEMON KING but an invasive super power country, conflict internally and externally, and hard earned language understanding.

what do you think? would you read it?
anything you want to add?

what do you mean by this, "hard earned language understanding"? Are you going to spend time on him learning the language? If so how much?

Can you define "super power" more? Are you meaning having better technology then other countries or just simply that they are larger and more pervasive so there advantage is do to size?

Can't speak for others, while I'm not thrilled with tropes in general, in and out of isekai, the bigger problem to me is the quality of writing when using a trope. Actually that's the bigger problem for me in general.

Either way, good luck with your writing.

> avoiding all OVERUSED tropes

Aren't those tropes overused for a reason? 😎

The reason is called lazy writting.
Suuure you could be original, but what is that? And easy and effortless way of stablishing the world and characters withouth all that boring character development and world building? I mean, everyone else is doing it, and it goes well for them! Why not?
Sarcasm aside, there's more than enough isekai filled with tropes all over the place, if someone tries to do something *actually* original with the formula, you're not really losing anything.
Then again, an isekai without isekai tropes isn't unheard of, so rather than erasing all the tropes, replacing them with new ideas and dinamics could be cool.

@RizkyArrydesta OP, I feel like you're misunderstanding the wonders of tropes. They're there to provide the authors an easy way to progress the story meanwhile providing the readers with a familiar basis to get intro the story more easily.

Think of tropes like fire: if you handle them properly they will provide light to move the story forward but mishandle them and they will burn down your story mercilessly. Tropes are not inherently bad, they are just often misused which gave them bad reputations.

Btw avoiding ALL tropes would just be a creative hindrance imo. How I do it is that I forget about all tropes in the world and focus on how the story can progress organically. If it happens to be trope-y then so be it.

Also I do have an isekai plot on paper. I solve my language barrier problem using lore-heavy memory-combination thingamajig a thing that the side characters are born with, but not the main, as a plot device. That way I can focus on the story, rather than force the readers to watch MC study the language for months. This is more believable than the MC himself getting that language ex machina. This way I can also introduce necessary lore and side characters. It also sets up for a future conflict in which the MC can't directly speak with the indigenous people without his allies. The allies are also able to speak English, a language none of the locals can understand so they don't have to worry about privacy if they ever want to conspire against the locals. See? I made use of an overused trope to progress multiple aspects of the story. I didn't even realize that this is a language trope until a day after I thought of it. It's all a matter of "how" rather than "why not". Never put tropes for the sake of putting a trope into the story.
