    There’s that one AO3 Isekai but it’s John Brown and his soul is marching on another world.

    The genre kind of sucks, but I keep thinking I should check that one out.

      isekai as a format is decently nice, because your protagonist has the same knowledge of the world as the reader, you can just explain shit without it seeming weird

      unfortunately it mostly gets leveraged for the wish fulfillment of porn addicts which makes the genre icky kitty-birthday-sad
