I don’t think this show is going to become less shouty. The slave dealer is a shouty freak, the furry bodyguard is a shouty freak, Button Elf Gal’s breast-obsessed lesbian maid is a shouty freak, and even God is a shouty freak.

Verdict: if you can handle the shouting, it’s better than most of the alternatives this season.

(there’s almost nothing on Pixiv for this one, and half of what is there is official art, but Miss Button Elf has been noticed)

“Thanks, God, For This Isekai!”

(with insincere apologies to John Denver)

🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶
This fantasy-land is kinda laid back,
Ain’t much a well-read high-school boy like me can’t hack,
Kill a few orcs, throw loot in my pack,
Thanks, God, for this isekai!

Well, my overpowered skills keep me from takin’ harm,
good-lookin’ gals all fall for me thanks to my divine charm,
minions who provoke me end up bitin’ the farm,
Thanks, God, for this isekai!

Well, I got me a Best Girl, I got my cheat powers,
got a catgirl at night, keeping me up all hours,
sweet young princesses eager to be deflowered,
Thanks, God, for this isekai!

 

When the dungeon’s cleared, and my status screen glows,
I spend all my skill points where my cheat advisor shows,
Level up much faster than anyone else knows,
And thank God for this isekai!

I’d play with my waifus all day if I could,
but the Demon Lord’s a-comin’ to my neighborhood,
so I diddle when I can, fight when I should,
And thank God for this isekai!

Well, I got me a Best Girl, I got my cheat powers,
got a catgirl at night, keeping me up all hours,
sweet young princesses eager to be deflowered,
Thanks, God, for this isekai! Woo-hoo!

 

Well, noble folk givin’ me diamonds and jewels,
beggin’ me to rescue virgin beauties for some fools,
but I make ’em haremettes with my magic tools,
And thank God for this isekai!

Yeah, elven folk tried to hook me up with their queen,
She was three hundred years old but she looked like a teen,
Took her for a ride, ‘cause a Hero can’t be mean,
Thanks, God, for this isekai!

Well, I got me a Best Girl, I got my cheat powers,
got a catgirl at night, keeping me up all hours,
sweet young princesses eager to be deflowered,
Thanks, God, for this isekai, yessir!

 

Well, the Demon Lord came at me and just up and died,
took his daughter for myself, put a baby inside,
lined up my harem gals, made each one a bride,
And thanked God for this isekai!

Well, the princesses are virgins who don’t know much about cock,
need a lotta warmin’ up to make their thighs unlock,
but my Demon Princess, Best Girl, and my cat-girl rock,
So thanks, God, for this isekai!

Well, I got me a Best Girl, I got my cheat powers,
got a catgirl at night, keeping me up all hours,
sweet young princesses eager to be deflowered,
Woo! Thanks, God, for this isekai, yeah!

I got a little carried away with the prompt for this one, largely because I wasn’t having much luck getting a good image, even with a modern model like Klein that is generally quite good at handling complex prompts. Inevitably, it ran into counting problems, adding extra people to the image (male and female) or omitting one of the haremettes. It didn’t suffer from blended characteristics as much as earlier models, but it wasn’t unusual to get all catgirls, or a demon girl with both both horns and cat-ears. At least once, everyone had a cat tail. I ended up generating a dozen prompts and rendering each one half a dozen times.

Anyway, the prompt had so many targeted LLM calls in it that it took around 90 seconds to run on a Mac, generating ~600 words on average:

An epic fantasy illustration featuring @<makeover: a nerdy Japanese high-school boy>@ wearing @<fashion: a retro Japanese boys-school uniform>@, holding @<weapon: a magical sword>@, with a smug expression on his face. He is accompanied by three women: @<makeover: a sweet-looking medieval girl>@ wearing @<fashion: a a low-cut medieval peasant dress>@, @<makeover: a sultry catgirl>@ wearing @<fashion: a skimpy renaissance-inspired dress>@, and @<makeover: a sexy demon girl>@ wearing @<fashion: sexy black lingerie with red highlights>@. They are walking down a dirt road toward a distant castle.

(I’d likely have gotten more reliable results if I’d converted the prompt to JSON, but I’d have had to do it by hand after each LLM expansion, and I wouldn’t have been able to do the global QA passes for the final output; I may tinker with improving my dynamic-JSON-prompt scaffolding now that I’ve integrated the LLM calls)
