Is this a bunch of animes about bland self insert characters for young Japanese dudes being magicked into a fantasy world where they're hot shit and fuck elf babes
Growing up, I always found Western 'Isekai' themed novels to be nothing more than thinly veiled power fantasies for the author and I always thought it would fail as a genre or would never expand beyond that niche audience. Twenty five years later and I'm filing that opinion in the same category as 'the Google search engine will NEVER hit it off, I mean there's like no news or anything on their page!' and 'Giant game boxes will never go out of fashion, who wants to buy simple DVD cases anyway?'.
