Here’s a short review of the concept “Life is an isekai” — treating it as a metaphorical lens rather than a literal genre claim.

If you’re stuck in a rut, try it for two weeks. Journal your “quests,” “stats,” and “daily log.” You might be surprised. But don’t wait for a summoning circle — you’re already in your isekai. The portal was just called “waking up.”

At first glance, calling real life an isekai (a Japanese genre where someone is transported to another world) sounds like cringey overreach. No truck-kun, no status screens, no cheat skills. But as a mental framework? It works better than expected.
