Nerding out here for a minute, but one specific type of isekai that I see in Korean and Chinese stories is where the main character goes back in time to an earlier time and uses their knowledge of the future to do better this time around. (Arguably it isn't isekai but that doesn't matter for what I'm about to talk about)
I can't help but think that this type of story reminds me a lot of being a parent. You've already lived through a good chunk of life, so you already know where some of the pitfalls are, and so you're trying to help someone who's a lot like you do better this run around.
