He/They - Adult! - AroAceSpec
I'm the guy who thinks that isekai as a genre has EXTREMELY untapped angst potential, entirely because of it's virtue of existence! Think of it like this: It hurts when a chunk is ripped out of you, no? Of course, you'd be fine. You'll scab over, you'll heal and you'll scar. But, then, would the chunk not ALSO have a few nerves to fire off its own pain signals when ripped out of you? Even if there's no longer any brain or nervous system to receive them?
How frayed would your edges be if I tore you right out of your universe and dropped your lonely scrap of an existence on top of another world? You'd never REALLY fit in, you might even be made of an entirely different material! You'd have habits that trip you up and may even need to be unlearned. You'd have expectations and dreams that may NEVER be fulfilled, worldly understandings that might be rendered null and void- and Sweet Abyss! All the relationships! Big and small, of whatever various significances to you! All something that you'd no longer be a part of, nor could you ever be a part of ever again! It's like death, but you're still alive!
Are YOU satisfied with your last words to the people around you? :)
