    I don’t know know anything about Isekai other than wikipedia’s summary of it.
    So I can’t answer your question but I can probably help you answer it yourself.

    How are the class relations portrayed as in Isekai stories? (are the proletariat the most probable ones to succeed?, are bourgeoisie portrayed as good/bad, better/worse?, do people of all class strata get along? Is there any class conflict?)

    Above question/s will help us better understand if Isekai is class a conscious art medium or not.

    Who (class-wise) writes Isekai stories?
    Who watches Isekai (again, class wise)?
    Who profits from it? (This one is pretty obvious, but needs to be said to do a proper diamat analysis)

    Are there “native” people from the otherworld? If so, what’s their relation to nature/the world/means of production/other people?
    How does people from another dimension being teleported affect their reality and material conditions?
    Are there class divisions because of this?

    Maybe an revoluctionary getting sended into an feudal society, organizing the people of the country, overthrowing the aristocracy and using his modern knowledge to help the newly born revoluctionary society to develop faster.

        Then i don’t think it need a particular analysis. It’s just fiction. Note that communists aren’t against fantasy nor sci-fi, especially the latter flourished really well under socialist countries in Europe, and China already produce huge amount of every possible genre.

        The examples you chosen are really bad though. Idk about Konosuba and Re:Zero, i never watched them, but i did watched the three other and oh damn.

        How to… - borderline porn and some pedo baits too iirc, i might remember wrong though, because it was forgettable

        Arifureta - one of the worst animes i ever seen, so devoid of any substance it existed probably solely because fanservice.

        Shield Hero - this one was actually good, and not even lewd. but Raphtalia was a total red flag for pedos, child who looked like adult, even worse thing imo than the usual 1000 year child vampire or whatever.

        Note: i am the guy who always defended manga and anime on GenZedong against the antiweebs (anti as in antimatter, the same idiocy as weebs but in the other side) because it’s just media, which can be good or bad depending its context. Even more, it can actually be used for great effect in revolutionary propaganda because it is popular, and as an art style it is actually easy to draw and very clear.

        But the authors of some of those gets the gulag.

          • If it was actually happening, it would be a phenomenon to research and possibly use for revolutionary purpose. That’s the funny thing with materialism - if magic and gods and monsters were real, it would be accepted and researched by materialists.
