When I think of the usual fantasies one, or we, might have, I realized something new, and maybe distressing, if not only sad: If I were in that situation I'd still feel.. unsatisfied. Say you're isekaid, and have adventures and girls and cool fights and cheat skills and save everyone and then... And then you get a big house, a family, and they all smile, they''re all obviously happy but.. there is nothing more in the future But that. There are no more grand adventures. The thing that you won by fighting (in an isekai it'd be after defeating the demon lord or to survive the big catastrophe or whatever), the point being that after that, the prize of a loving family and friends and to live in a small town where nothing happens sounds, actually, if you think about it, quite horrible. Life itself, if you were to put yourself in that moment, "feels" empty. In one of the metroidvanias I recently played, one of the characters said "please dont leave us!", and I then imagined what would it be like to stay.. and it would feel like stagnation.
This is just how fan fiction works
you only think that because you have no difficulties in your life. when you get old you want nothing but sit outside in peace and watch the birds. that's a life.

>>288821486No you're just confused by the idea of the story. IRL that's peak living and people who deal with extraordinary circumstances are usually stressed and don't want that to happen again. This is why the Hobbit is still top tier
