Hey, it's all good.  He gets godlike power and a harem.  


     It’s manga/anime.....of course he does.

  Has anyone reputable ever looked into Manga and Comic Books as to the different fantasy mindsets of the two cultures?   American Superheroes and the Heroes of Mangas seem to fall into distinctly different types.

Protagonists who live a basically blissful effort-free life are a comparatively recent development in manga.  It's a product of the end of the boom years of the Japanese economy, I think.  They still have a culture that will try to work them to death (note that Truck-kun's target looks very ill), but a reality that actually offers them limited success.  So Truck-kun sending them to an afterlife of minimum effort (and yes, that license plate reads "Ascent to Heaven" is a story a fair number of them want to see.  This is actually a joke about the isekai harem genre, there's no series to go with it.  There are actually still isekai stories where the character faces real challenges like Rise of the Shield Hero and Ascendence of a Bookworm
