Lmao what did the isekais did to u?
Totally agree, I dislike most modern isekais as well, especially those with a beta male MC that becomes OP in the isekai world. Also the isekai reincarnation where an Asian woman (either Korean or Japanese) gets reincarnated into a European princess or aristocrat in a European medieval or Victorian setting. It's creepy because it's like the Asian lady wears a European skin suit, she gets blue or green eyes and blonde or red hair which Asians don't have and some secretly want to have it. Creepy, like the white people who do surgeries on their faces to appear more Asian.
Rather then do a plastic surgery, they get a new body and a new identity, take it like marriage when u marry u go into another family or caste or religion or language and u adpat to it as you go, that's a natural process. It's not creepy.
You totally misunderstood my point. In reincarnation isekais, the Asian woman reincarnates as an European-looking baby, kid, teenager or young adult. Reincarnating/transmigrating your soul into anyone older than a toddler, with a personality, feelings, dreams and hopes is disturbing, it's body horror. The Asian woman is stealing not only their body and wearing it as a skin suit but also stealing their future.
It's not about staying Asian, staying in your own body and learning a different country's traditional dance or cooking. It's the same premise as the movie Get Out (2017) but instead of white people taking over and living in black people's bodies it's Asian people taking over and living in white people's bodies. Both are not okay and are disturbing.
In real life (not the isekai/fantasy scenario) white people having face surgery to look Asian is bad and Asian people having face surgery to look white is also bad.
i need more HL stories like this (cause i'm so fkng done with isekais)
