I would even forgive this if the scriptwriters didn't create such formulaic and nondescript fantasy worlds. That is, this is the most interesting thing in ?fish out of water? stories: getting to know a new, unusual world and interacting with it. So that the hero, and with him the viewer/reader, would be surprised and never know what awaits them next. And standardization completely destroys all this. In essence, such issekai are the fantasy equivalent of the ?killer butler?.
