The thing about self-insert power fantasies is that they only work if you can allow yourself to be fooled. If you become to aware of what is actually happening, they will feel patronizing instead of empowering. As you read more stories and develop that awareness, your ability to enjoy them will diminish and eventually turn to irritation.
To me now, that empowering feeling only occurs if the author slips those moments into an otherwise developed plot and character. A blank slate over a copypasted background is no longer enough for me to effectively fool myself. If something is "too good to be true," i.e., a Mary Sue or a harem, it just feels patronizing.
Eventually, you will also tire of reading the same story beats, setting, and characters over and over. It's like finding a new song you love and listening to it again and again until you're sick of it. You will begin to crave and seek out originality. Plots that once did it for you won't anymore.
All of this is to say: by all means enjoy this story now, because eventually you will feel as I do. The scope of what appeals to you will narrow, although you will in turn begin to appreciate what's left more.
