    I am reading the ‘Death Mage Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time’ Japanese fiction web novel which is relevant to the themes of imperialism, colonialism, racism, cultural biases, oppression, repression, international development, etc. The story is driven by 3 incompetent antagonists who, although not truely evil, are incompetent enough to cause problems and their attempts to resolve the problems keeps on worsening the problems. The incompetent antagonists represent the egotistic foreigner-worshipping colonialist mentality of the typical isekai protagonist nd so it can tell alot about the biases that the global north has towards the global south.

      I wouldn’t mind reading a Chinese web novel or a Korean or Japanese one. Maybe one from Vietnam.
