Let me set a scene for you: you're watching a comedian you quite like, and after getting up on stage, they make a joke. It's pretty good, so you do a little snort, while you wait for the next joke. But instead, the comedian tells the same joke again. You're a bit confused. The joke was okay, but they already told it, and it's sure as hell not getting better with age. And now they're telling it again. And again. The same joke, same delivery, over and over again, until you begin to consider plucking out your own ears as a good alternative to hearing it again. 

This is, essentially, the experience of watching Konosuba. Apparently, the writers noticed that there were a ton of isekai anime, and decided they wanted to write a spoof of the usual isekai formula. The problem, is that instead of developing a plot that deconstructed the genre, or at the very least poked fun at the whole variety of tropes associated with the genre, instead wrote down every stereotypical plot point, and just wrote the opposite of that. 

So get ready for two seasons of a plot that was only barely subverseive at first, and just plain boring after 20 episodes. Just because it's technically altering from the path of stereotype, doesn't mean it's good, and Konosuba just isn't that good. If you really want subversion of isekai, shows like Shield Hero and Grimgar have that, without being grating. So all that Konosube really brings to the table is a dead horse, and a large paddle it plans to use for beating. Like it plans to hit the dead horse with a whole variety of paddles, to make sure that horse is really and truly dead. There's no chance of that horse surviving, cause even if it were dead, Konosuba would still be going at it. Do you see how tiring this can get?
