It's like capitalism has gotten so bad in Asia that it's profitable to make shows about depressed salarymen/hikkikomori dying and reincarnating in a happy fun exciting world where they are a badass super god/goddess that gets all the women easily.

Ive heard some stories about russians committing suicide because they wanted to get isekaied

Isekai genre (called popadantsy in Russian) is extremely prominent in Russian literature, to the point of people believing nothing else is getting made in terms of sci-fi/fantasy.
