It's bad when the idea of dealing with a fantasy Dark Lord is more appealing than real life. At least it's clear who the good and bad guys are.

Well, it's pretty clear in 2026 normie world too (who the bad guys are). People just aren't heroes in real life, and it's too hard to kill the top villains.

Always nice when the bad guy doesn't know exactly where you are.

I think much of the appeal of these stories, and post-apocalyptic ones, is that they put you in front of problems that are easier to understand and deal with. Needing to find food is a simple concept, even if it can be a difficult task, it's something we have evolved to deal with.

Emails and taxes, not so much.
