Then you get to the isekai harem slop that infests anime and manga. It's what sells (merchandise especially), so for every decent show there's like a dozen "chosen one gets sent to a magic world where he's overpowered and big tiddy waifus fight over his affection."
For some reason it especially disgusts me how those incel-pandering treats offer magical escapist worlds without the burdens and suffering of contemporary capitalism... then almost always the isekai protagonist brings the burdens and suffering of contemporary capitalism to that magical escapist world.
There's often layers of "everyone but the isekai protagonist is NPCs so all the cruelty and suffering is okay for real" too.
