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"

Do you think it matters that the game itself doesn’t make him a loser, that he doesn’t seem obsessed with the game, and that the locals actually seem to appreciate his gaming skill? I think he’s only a loser because he’s poor and didn’t get a scholarship.

I wanna say that The Last Starfighter put all the pieces of the isekai formula in place but it hadn't yet escalated them to the point where the wish fulfillment fantasy was transparently odious
