But look "portal fantasy" and "isekai" aren't the same thing Yeah Narnia and Thomas Covenant and a fuckton of shit are about "person from our world goes to fantasy world" But isekai is specifically about the wish fulfillment, "what makes me a loser on Earth makes me a hero now"

Like shit if I had to explain to an older American nerd what the Japanese light novel genre "isekai" means in summary I'd just say "Last Starfighter stories"
