They can be interesting series, but sometimes I also ask myself why there's such a difference that in shounen isekai series the MC usually gets cheat powers and allies for a rewarding life, whereas in shoujo isekai the MC usually has too little power but a whole lot of enemies and a dire fate already waiting for her.
Probably way of thinking.
Things changes, but women still usually got less appreciated for their ability.
For example in shonen story, it’s usually still okay for girls to fail, it’s normal for them to receive help. But the male MC usually have this feeling they must never fail (which might explains why typical male MC are so afraid of taking actions).
Put it in other way, it’s like society sees it as normal for women to fail and be rescued.
So they want to proof they are not just to rely on men. Story that shows them going through the efforts and finally got rewarded would serve them more satisfaction and empowered feeling.
Well, there’s also opinion that female society are more horizontal and they can see there are things in life you can’t deal just by yourself. That’s why even with their OP MC, they still usually care more about giving something for the side characters. And when male MC use their OP cheat to mow all problems, female MC scheme to move the people around them to deal with it.
Meanwhile for the male, their issue is the thought about they are not allowed to fail, the effort itself is less important than whether you actually get things done or not. Friends and appreciation from people came from your success. So the story serve them by giving the experience of success. That’s why in stories, even if they don’t interact with people, as soon as the MC brandish an achievement, everyone instantly changes their opinion.
And male society is vertical, so the OP MC usually have to take all the spotlight. Rivals who get a lot of spotlight is not going to be BFF, they will be a competition, a possible NTR threat.
There are exceptions of course, but that’s what I often felt from reading stories.
