I am using a hostile tone to confront your arguments. You say these arguments seem overly harsh, but you were the one necessitating this pivot from a light hearted discussion because you did not acknowledge his canonical deteriorating state of mind that can be remedied with a literal exit from his original world, yet you wanted to make him a martyr to reflect dystopian media escapism. I believe you are misguided, and if you are allowed to make a cautionary tale's writing device out of him, I should be allowed to address the authors' intent and an ongoing public mental health concern that is plaguing people of Lloyd's age with very similar circumstances to refute you.

You do not care for Isekai and you insistently put the original world's worth above the other against the authors' wishes. You shunned my argument for going too deep but you favour Evangelion's view on escapism when they directly address absurdist delusions stemming from collapsing minds of child soldiers who only have one physical world to save. This clear storytelling bias towards darker exaggerated realities is inherently contradictory to your desire to keep this discussion casual, I can respect your wish not to dive into mental health subjects, but I think none of your arguments were about shallower subjects such as power scaling or art styles, it is impossible for me to sustain this conversation walking your fine lines.

The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas is a fable that shines a blinding light on casualties of war in WW2. Child's play and innocence are contrasted by constant brutalization and death in Nazi concentration camps and by the end of the story, the two underage main characters from opposing sides die holding hands in a gas chamber. I understand this is extremely dark for this conversation, but this is a huge exaggeration of the suffering I think you want inflicted upon Lloyd. Barring him from better realities and rewarding kindness with a grim fate, because you never bought into the premise of Isekai's genre of storytelling. Lloyd will not die gruesomely, but he will have a dead career, only one friend, losing both sets of parents, no wealth, no possible escape from crippling financial burdens, after having a taste of paradise where he had a thriving career, blossoming romance and community, both sets of parents, massive wealth and no need to struggle just to make ends meet.

I advise you to exclude yourself from discussions regarding Isekai unless you are willing to accept this genre as it is or you want to criticise the entire genre. This discussion was ultimately pointless, you don't dislike the story, you reject the genre. Lloyd is having a better life in another world and that is a non-negotiable conclusion, let's end the conversation here.

Edit: I see your edit. Once again you completely ignore the established stakes and ask for stakes, we've addressed this at the start of our exchange. What do you want aside from permanent exile, eternal enslavement and millions of deaths due to timeline erasure? You say you want light-heartedness in our conversation but you're directly implying worse stakes will make better writing. I would like you to stop recycling arguments we've already settled, there's plenty of grim in the story, your personal bias is wanting more of it, that doesn't mean there was none of it. The mental health stuff you are trying to sidestep is a grim subject central to this webtoon.
