Remember back in the early nineteen hundreds, when there was a ton of demand for literature that amounted to endless basically identical identical pulp novels of 'White man encounters backwards tribe, gains power and self-actualization, takes them over and replaces their identity with clearly superior white people things'?

It took a hundred years and we ran out of tribes on this planet to use in the meantime, but I feel more and more as time goes on like Isekai stories are just Japan catching up to that trend.

'Behold, the power of Japanese corporate culture!'
'Thank you oh mighty MC-sama! Please, have our entire society on a silver platter.'
