As everyone who has read manga or watched anime knows, the isekai genre is about a person who lives in the normal world transported to a fantasy realm by many different means. Once in this fantasy realm, the main character will either try to get back home or make the best of their new lives.
I'm Standing on a Million Lives is a story that detracts from the normal isekai tropes. Created by writer Naoki Yamakawa and illustrator Akinari Nao, the series follows a listless young man who is transported to a fantasy world with three young women. From there, he is forced to take up more responsibility and be less selfish if he ever plans to survive in this new world.
