Isekai is a wish-fulfilment genre targeting one specific desire: "What if you were plopped into a world where YOU mattered?"

Every Isekai story is predicated on this assumption. A boy dissatisfied with his life gets dumped into a world with special powers and a quest; he becomes a hero that changes the course of history. Perhaps it's an overworked man who is given a blessing by fate or by chance, he becomes a pillar of society around him. A girl goes on an adventure where everyone is attentive to her, or she's set into an existing social order (usually nobility) and has to navigate social expectations and win her prince. It targets specific desires of people, which those people feel are not addressed in their real lives.

Litrpg meshes well with this (ignoring my personal disdain for the genre) because it gives an easy, obvious and familiar structure. You have numbers and values you can draw on to get an idea of how things are, where the social order stands, why that character we follow is important and exceptional. It also makes things easy for the author, saving countless hours of figuring out how a scene will flow or move because you can just compare numbers. You don't need to show a character getting stronger, because it's just a number you increase.

It is the modern pulp genre, low-brow and designed for general entertainment, and complaining about it is less a complaint about the works themselves and moreso about the audiences. Except the audience is the same as it's always been; the same as it was in the 1800's with Alice in Wonderland, the same as it was in the 1920's with Wizard of Oz, the same as it was in the 50's with A Yankee in King Arthur's court, the same as it was in the 80's with The Evil Dead and the same as it was in the 00's with Accel World or Sword Art Online.

Most readers, watchers and general consumers of entertainment aren't looking for complex political theory or a detailed and compelling world, they're looking for simple wish-fulfilment and a story that's compelling enough to keep them invested, without being difficult to get into. As I've gotten older I've found myself less interested in the genre overall, but it's clear that people enjoy it for obvious reasons and derive fairly simply pleasures from it and, more often than not, it targets those same common desires people always have. They want to be important, see a hero save the world and get the girl.

And, generally speaking, Isekai is by far the least degenerate of pulp genres precisely because it is taking an ordinary person and thrusting them into extraordinary circumstances, in a world that rewards the very same values that we understand to be good, but have no outlet for in real life. Being the gentleman gets you punished and if you're unlucky, being the hero gets you put in prison. Saving the girl is pointless because she'll just turn on you anyways and you're doomed to a lifetime of betrayal. As terrible as these stories tend to be, they almost always show a world that's morally better than ours- even when that world is backwards and cruel, because it's always a world looking for a prince or a hero to save the day.
