I agree, the isekai nowadays just pollute everything and worsens the view of any good entertainment of the same genre that still somehow exists. Isekai also manages to somehow infiltrate the internet and now even without the intention of finding isekai, isekai will just pop up automatically like a fly in your bedroom.

And yeah, dying pathetically won't translate to 'God' taking pity on you, but the success rate of God pitying you is basically 100% for all the isekai I've begrudgingly read. Even if God isn't the one doing the pitying, some kind of divine being will. For example KonoSuba. (not saying KonoSuba is bad or anything)

Also, I'm with you on the whole "you don't need to reincarnate into a OP ultra male alpha character for whom every girl just throws themselves at his feet for no reason" bit, but ask any trash isekai author and their response will be different.

I guess I just tried to imitate a typical isekai author's thinking process way too hard.
