        It's like reverse-isekai where the supernatural world/characters/powers are brought to the character.

          That's just the genre of urban fantasy

          you can't just call any fiction you don't like Isekai. It's not even a bad setup for a genre it's just used as a basis for power fantasy by men with weird ideas about relationships and women a lot.

          for an example of why it's not a genre issue Narnia is technically an Isekai by the proper rules of the genre.

            Narnia is an isekai. Star Wars is isekai. Iron Man is isekai. Mass delusion under treat-hypnosis is inherently isekai-istic. Sorry to spoil your 'fun.'

              Isn't an isekai a story where the protagonist goes from our world to a new magical one. An example would include Celtic stories of the fairy realm.

              also you seem to be condeming storytelling in general as a symptom of capitalism when all evidence points to storytelling being an older aspect of society than agriculture. People have been telling each other stories since the invention of fire

      Ok, but like yeah that's exactly what I hate about that shit, it indulges in deifying all of anglo society's worst demons.
