@gevudan Yeah like he said himself, he's not someone who should be summoned. There are plenty of people, myself included, who would be 100% ok with being summoned to a fantasy world. I would have zero problem with it because to me the benefits out weight the loss almost entirely. People with no strings attached are fine to summon, as are people who dream of adventure and magic. They summoned a guy who was comfortable and liked his life.
This is like if i was summoned to a medieval world with no magic powers. Its basically torture. Summoning should only be performed on those who desire the summon. This however feels like they want to summon people specifically to "reform" them. At this point i would be purposefully ignoring them and rebelling on principle.
Anyway summons don't have to be traumatic, but there will almost always be great psychological effect. More stories should go into those effects. I mean someone who wanted the summon might change drastically due to the realization of that dream, not to mention all the power that inevitably comes with it. Those kinds of characters are mostly written as the bad guys though. I find this kinda strange since the good guy is usually not sentimental over his home world but also has to want to go back... being ok with the transfer mentally while wanting to go back is kinda odd in my book.
