Why is every isekai nowadays built on MMORPG elements?

Couple of reasons: first you can make something however stupid up and just say "that how game work" second games are pretty popular so the MMORPG theme pulls a lot of normies into anime and lastly it got pretty popular after shows like SAO or Log Horizon went big so everyone tries to get some free moneyskinda like the zombie survival theme in games

Do people really have so little imagination they have to fantasize about playing a game?
What happened to wanting to be a pilot or a scientist? Is that lame and gay now?

SAO

Worldbuilding is a pain in the ass. That's why time-travel and video game worlds are so popular; the laws of nature are pre-built and familiar to the audience.

Are you implying what I think you're implying? That millenials are more familliar with MMOs than real life?

Most of the authors nowadays played/watched .hack when they were teens and thought they could do it better.

>enjoy some isekai anime
>/a/ says they are like mmorpgs
>check a video because interested
>mmorpgs are pure garbage
stop lying on the internet

Most people can relate to MMORPGS so it makes the experience more enjoyable.

Because its a fun and original idea or at least it was before we had a thousand of them and most of them were trash, blame the market not the idea itself.
