Anime Relations: Overlord

In our modern world, all you have to do is browse the web for a bit and you will see the range of talent that exists out there. Statistically an average joe like me and maybe you doesn't fall into the high end of that range. The ease as well as speed of information combined with social media has made it so that the web is full of the highlights of other's endeavors. It's no secret that this makes many question their self worth.

When we read a story about how someone is sucked into another world and all of a sudden their common knowledge is godlike and they are praised for being able to build a water pump or having a understanding of basic mathematics, we long for that praise and acceptance from others. Something that many of us do not find in mundane life with our average skills and knowledge.

We read Isekai stories to immerse ourselves in another world, one where we could possibly make a difference. And that idea is why we have fallen in love with the genre.
