True chaos unfolding as you go back in time to kill the person trying to save you from death, would probably give Riyo-Gudako enough fuel to become whole again.
Finally an Isekai I can enjoy without getting irritated over how easily the main character defeats millenials-old vampires by just punching them in the schnoz.

(Late reply, I know) It's kinda sad to see a genre fall from grace so quickly that parodies of it are considered better in quality.

All it takes is one or two getting popular despite terrible writing to ruin the genre for a few, who will get very vocal about it, and it'll encourage these who are on the fence to stand against it. For me, I think it was Kuma Kuma Bear that broke the camel's back, I felt really irritated by the arrogance of the main character and the way she had to explain people basic stuff that they'd been doing their entire life. I think I stopped reading when she explains a pregnant woman that she should eat meat. A pregnant woman who, if I remember right, already had two kids at this point. Mangas love to have teenagers explain basic stuff to adults who somehow haven't figured out that when you shoot people, they die, but this was just too much.
When a genre becomes popular you get a lot of people flocking to it to either ride the wave of easy popularity or because they were dragged in by the wave ("everyone wants me to write an isekai"). The bulk of stories aren't going to be good, especially when you don't have any real quality filters for webnovels which has become the origin point of many modern series. Frankly the average reader probably doesn't actually care for good writing, especially from webnovels so it's not surprising poorly written series can get popular. Can just look at works like Redo of Healer which had topped one of Kadokawa Shoten's "next big light novel hit" polls to see the quality of writing the average online reader is looking for.

There will be always flop/terrible novels anyway regardless of genre. It just happen that isekai is basically the theme that allows people/the author to go full cope/power play in whatever they feel. That only few stand out.
Lastly Redo of Healer isn't an isekai genre lol, it's a dark-fantasy one.

Regression series, especially fantasy ones, aren't all that different from isekai. Even more so if it belongs into the genre of power fantasy. Redo of Healer also suffers from much of the same building blocks that most standard isekai suffer with gamified stats and skills. I also never specified isekai, I specified the quality of writing people wanted. In the poll it beat out Combatants will be Dispatched, Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles, and Demon Lord, Retry!. Though just because a series is an isekai doesn't mean it also can't be a dark fantasy such is the case with Overlord.
I'd give it a 0,5 + 0,5 +1 out of 5. Tsubasa's base weapon is a katana and expands into other kinds of swords from there. Sayaka uses sabers. Mami uses flintlock rifles. Chris is all over the place but the only guns I remember her using is pistols and gatling guns.
2.5/5(Tsubasa and Chris) actually I don't think Miku has any time-related abilities(Been a while since I last watch Symphogear) and the closest to Kyoko(Kiraka) is not even present
