Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. I’m clearly one of today’s lucky 10000.

    There’s lots of flavor of Isekai as it literally just translates to Another World, but a running gag that has been meme’d ad nauseum is for a protagonist to be hit by a truck and die that they’ve named the truck.

    Sometimes you put on a vr helmet. sometimes you save an old lady from Truck-kun.
