It’s like capitalism has gotten so bad in Asia that it’s profitable to make shows about depressed salarymen/hikkikomori dying and reincarnating in a happy fun exciting world where they are a badass super god/goddess that gets all the women easily.

    Dr Stone and Spellbinder are my favourite isekais. One’s about a Japanese nerd who rebuilds technology from the group up after the world’s people turn to stone for thousands of years, and one’s about an Australian nerd who goes to Fantasy Outback Poland and figures out how their “magic” works with the power of Earth Science.

    imo isekai is only worth doing if you’re going to have your character use science to understand the fantasy world.
