Why do characters get Isekaid?

[Macha]

An associate of mine came up with an idea after re-reading several personal favorites as to why the protagonists get Isekaid into fantastical worlds in the first place.

The characters do not actually perish after being hit by Truck-kun and his ilk. Aside from a few outliers, the people go into a profound coma instead of dying, giving them the illusion of death while their minds concoct a story about their being transported to a different planet, which is the same universe as their favorite literature. Shocking, we know.

This idea would explain the stories' complete lack of logic, as we don't expect a comatose patient to think clearly about the garbage they're pouring through their imagination.

I wish.

As good of an explanation as any.

Though there were few stories with that premise, or with the main character unknowingly experiencing a virtual simulation. And I can't remember even one of them where such a revelation at the end didn't turn cringy. Though admittedly cringy seems a par of a course for the isekai genre.

Sometimes i think this too.

Sometimes its because they tried to keep a pet Koromon when they were two, establishing a permanent link to the digital world.

Assuming the pet Koromon didn't digivolve to Sukamon, of course.
