Editing KonoSuba (section)

==The World==
KonoSuba takes place in an unnamed world that is based on your [[Standard Fantasy Setting]]; [[Isekai]] Edition. The world is currently being threatened by a powerful Demon King and his legions of monsters, with the world being divided into various zones based on how close they are to the Demon King's palace; the closer you get, the higher his influence and the more powerful the resident monsters become.

Both the story and the RPG revolve around the town of Axel, the Town of Beginnings; a fortified frontier state in the furthest reaches of the land, where the Demon King's influence is weakest. There's an Adventurer's Guild trying to manage the various would-be warriors and witches running around, and yadda, yadda, yadda, you know all this stuff.

For a JRPG, the setting is very humanocentric, with the only known [[demihuman]]s being a couple of "half beast girls", though the TRPG book assures readers that the typical demihumans like elves and dwarves exist.

The dominant religions are of the goddesses Aqua (goddess of water) and Eris (goddess of fortune), with a number of other deities mentioned in passing.

While the first book sets up the almost parodic levels of fantasy genericness of the setting, it very soon apparent that despite the pastel-colored and comedic slant of the books, that the world is ''not'' a pleasant place to live in.  There's a ''reason'' people call it "Isekai Australia", and not just because of the gigantic killer frogs that lurk outside the beginner town that have been apparently known to ''regularly eat children''. In fact, Kazuma is by no means the first person to get Isekai'd here, and many of them just end up creating problems for everyone else in the world. One person in particular, a super-nerd who happened to have a talent for inventing magic tech, causes many of the problems that the party has to deal with by inventing all manner of ridiculous deathtraps, including a giant doomsday weapon with no off-switch. Par for the course for the idiot Goddess, I suppose.
