I've written an unpublished novel where an alienated protagonist finds a way to travel in between a modern day city and a spell-flinging world without electricity myself. The idea is that it'll become a trilogy where he stats out flagrantly rude and becomes outright toxic & deranged not only in the fantasy world, but in the real one as well. This turns him into a social media darling and a fucking scourge on his acquaintances. This is before he ultimately and begrudgingly being a catalyst to save both worlds having learned nothing about morals or the world's rich lore in the process (of which I've written other novels).
I say this because 1) I love talking about it and 2) I've always instinctively disliked wish fulfillment fantasy where hard work gets you opulent pleasures.
