Had an Idea of a Fishing Isekai a year back, lost interest so posting what I had worked on here.
The plot would be that everything revolved around gaining XP from fighting, because that's the only way to grow, there is nothing to be gained by training or practice, let alone jobs that are not involved in fighting. Until our Hero shows' up and now there's a new source of XP from both fishing, creating fishing supplies, and access to a new realm of combat agents aquodic life.
Would work with both a Location & Hourly random encounter chart that would be integral for the story allowing for special events. (Strange Weather, Phases of the Moon, Holidays, etc.)
Never got as far as creating the MC, but at least the supporting Characters, The girl is the Adventuring Guild Receptionist/Chef she had to retire from fighting/hunting/adventuring after nerve damage forced her to turn down her bow... and due to that her arranged marriage fell apart, she is reduced to using throwing knives.
The Boy would have been the runt of his family with all there expectations put onto him after the oldest son (The Prodigy) died, due to the loss of his right arm he was reduced to working the most menial of menial jobs. He can longer use the long Spear but now only short spears & throwing harpoon.
The reason everything revolves around XP is that the God of War killed basically every other god in the setting, warping reality to his will, now he is keepted in a near death state by the remaining gods. The reason they don't kill him is that he has done so much damage that if Killed all of realty would also end.
Most of the world is dead, mostly due to the 'Kill to grow stronger' effect of the God, so most of the 'Old World' is a baron hellscape with most non-monster wildlife extinct. City states turned to monstrous/demonic powers. The story would be set in the new world, where there have been generations already settled there from the old world that cant make anything more than a foothold due to the monsters being immensely more powerful than them.
