Something that's always confused me is why do all* Isekai's take place in a generic medieval fantasy setting. Isekai is in an interesting position in that it allows an author to explain foreign concepts about their world by letting the mc teach the reader in normal earth terms, this opens up the possibilities allowing for all sorts of interesting ideas and concepts that would otherwise be difficult to narratively implement (as in, why are the natives of this world explaining basic stuff that everyone there would already know). So why use the generic medieval fantasy setting when the main reason you'd use a generic medieval fantasy setting is so you don't have to explain stuff.
Also I know that some people use the the genre so they can use earth jokes.
Anyway did that make any sense? Feel free to tell me if I'm just spit balling here.
*Maybe not all but most.
