Why did the planetary fiction genre get completely forgotten? Throughout the 20th century, one of the most popular literary subgenres featured white men going to other planets and encountering fantastical cultures, fighting evil tyrants and having sex with hot women. Peak power fantasy. I have found so many of these stories that it seems like it was the most popular form of writing for a while. There were even entire pulp magazines dedicated to this.

It was western isekai gem. They had all the same tropes as the japanese use today.

But today it is fully forgotten. No one even knows planetery fiction even existed as a genre.

Why did it not leave behind a memorable legacy?

If Sailor Moon (Serena/Usagi) were to be isekai'd into South Carolina during the antebellum era, specifically in 1842, it would present a fascinating and complex scenario.

People got used to the tropes and it became cringe. Happens to a lot of genre fiction. Sometimes after enough time they have a revival, sometimes not.
