Except instead of the main character using his knowledge of modern technology to acquire cat girl sex slaves, it's a critique on capitalism. Which is kinda cool. Maybe I should read it again

Also I feel like one of the major tropes of Isekai is utilizing your superior knowledge from your world to basically coast in the one you're plopped in (the Yankee starts a soap business and convinces people that they need soap to manufacture demand). Also you're given some kind of cheat power as well (in this case it's the Yankees gun).
John Carter being a dumbass compared to most Martians but he's got the power of earth gravity and genteel antebellum racism so he's better than everyone else.
Yeah thats the natural conclusion of dropping your hero into foreign world. Either they will use their outsider knowledge and flourish or be a total moron and perish. You dont have a story with the latter.
I suspect that before Isekai's you had stories with ambassadors or explorers in a foreign land. Road to El Dorado has all the markings of an Isekai.
