WriterMate's reading

This is not a one-week bounce but a run across 4 weeks. It is still early enough to start planning around. 70.0% of the titles carrying isekai also carry reincarnation. It is more accurate to read this as the "isekai + reincarnation" combination moving, rather than the setting on its own. Next most common: growth(70.0%), reincarnation(60.0%).
