10 Most Likeable Isekai Protagonists

When it comes to isekai protagonists, people generally think of their incredible strength. Isekai characters typically have the kind of powers that most non-anime protagonists can only dream of.

But while a lot of these protagonists tend to be more arrogant, edgy, or mysterious, that's not true of all of them. Some isekai protagonists find themselves in another world where they have the ability to help those around them. Their incredible powers are put to good use to make the world a better place, and for that, they become likable protagonists even when their shows aren't always the best.

10. Adele Von Ascham Uses Her Powers To Help Those Around Her (Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities Average?)

Adele Von Ascham was a young woman who excelled at everything in her original life. But it led to her feeling lonely and excluded from society, and so she had one wish: in her next life, she wanted to be average. She got her wish, but she was instead made into the average between the strongest and weakest beings on this new planet, granting her immense magical powers. But rather than let that go to her head, she chooses to use her powers to help other people and build a guild for herself and her friends.

9. Myne Just Wants Her Own Library (Ascendance Of A Bookworm)

Myne bucks the trend set by most isekai protagonists in the modern era. She’s not gifted with godlike power to make her wipe the floor with anyone. She isn’t in control of an entire country or any of the other wish-fulfillment tropes those characters have. She just wants one thing: her own library, to read as much as she wants. It’s such a cute, admirable goal, and it’s rare to have a protagonist that literally everyone wants to root for, but Myne is one of them.
