LitRPG by other names
Saw a post about how different countries have their tropes -
Japan: Issekai - hero goes to another world where nobody knows them
China: Wuxia - Hero is great at a skill and his community actually supports him/her
Korea: Leveling/Power fantasy - Hero can actually succeed building him/herself from the ground up a la Solo Levelling, jumping social status like it's possible (since it's not quite possible in Korea)
Made me laugh out loud at the discussion over what would the trope be for Americans? Because the consensus seemed to be that Americans are always "quiet man who wants to be left alone has to go on a justified killing spree because of his family" and I thought about how everyone says LitRPG is just the hero becoming a murder hobo and I wondered at how many American authors were influencing the genre in this way
Bonus: British man has one very correct opinion despite the rest of the world trying to oppose that opinion. I guess kind of like Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm (although he's 100% not British lol).
Any other tropes tied to countries that fit LitRPG?
