i feel like the writer of this prompt really did just shoehorn another human into an alien isekai as a love interest

at no point did they ever consider an *alien* love interest would be possible

yeah the more I read into this the more cis tinted it is and I have to keep altering the prompt to make it not fucked up.

why is the family that rescues you rich? why do you have to come to the realization that an alien planet is "more than meets the eye".

its a whole goddamn plannet, with presumably millions of people, its going to have industrialized and post industrialized systems

what the fuck does this say about the prompt writer

@Aetous why does an alien culture possess concepts like being rich, anyway

if i had it my way it'd be a planet of gigantic robots inhabited by very small people sized robots who make little villages in the voids in the giants' frameworks

@pearshapes that's the thing, the prompt describes the planet like a utopia and then has to clarify the family who rescued you is rich

nearly every political theory I can pull out of a hat tends to have those two mutually exclusive

@Aetous capitalism necessitates cruelty and poverty, utopia under such a system would be tanamount to a prison inhabited by the ultra wealthy... etc. scifi writers think outside the box challenge
