Sometimes in manga a person will be in an underdeveloped fantasy world and start introducing concepts like banks, money lending and lottery tickets. I can’t help but yell at them to stop ruining this perfectly good fantasy world. Also, a lot of them can’t wait to recreate guns. Absolute idiots.

Capitalist realism. The fantasy is winning capitalism, and the only way to win it is to invent it first.

I like Reincarnated as a Slime, cause community building is first before all else (it does mean meetings, cause that's what building community looks like)

Slime is my second favorite isekai because of that. Dude introduces festivals instead of banks, Rimuru for president! (the slice of life spin-off is awesome btw)

Maybe the reason the angels go crazy every once in a while is because they’re fighting wealth inequality getting too bad.

There's a story on royalroad called Emergence, about a victorian-ish era dude who ends up shipwrecked alone on an island filled with dragons: I love that the story treats penicillin as one of the most powerful things he has access to, along with stuff like the radio.
Like yeah sure guns are scary, but so are massive claws. The ability to cure what has hitherto been utterly untreatable guaranteed wasting death, however? Basically the power of a god.

Another story, Delve, is about a guy being isekai'd into stock fantasy world with DnD-esque mechanics and going "well that's fucking terrifying, i'm starting a union and inventing OSHA".
