    Kids want to self-insert and imagine themselves in the role of the character though. Same reason Harry Potter was so wildly popular.

    Come to think of it most of the extremely famous western kids books have been isekais aimed at kids. Harry Potter is basically an isekai of a normie kid whisked away into the world of magic. Narnia is basically an Isekai. Alice in Wonderland too. Twilight.

      I guess you are right. Media aimed at kids does often have kid protagonists. The Heinlein juveniles also often feature teenagers. Now that you mention it, even dragon ball started with Goku as a kid. In that case the part of the saga were he is a deadbeat dad is more popular.
