Added DiffLines:

* The Jewish subplot of ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'' is a power fantasy for Jews, including the author -- most of the last two thousand years of their history has been oppression, expulsion, and genocide. In ATOV, one of the most powerful nations in the world accepts them with open arms, allows them to practice their religion freely, and even [[spoiler:evacuates the entire Jewish population of northern Francia when they're in danger of being massacred]].

* Deconstructed in ''FanFic/CatarinaClaesMustDie''. The VillainProtagonist Henrietta has been bullied for much in their life, finding relief in ''Fortune Lover'' where she witnesses HateSink bully Catarina Claes die brutally in the bad ends of Geordo and Keith's routes. So when she is reborn in the game world, she eagerly looks forward to witnessing these events. However, she ended up in the world of ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'', where Catarina is now a NiceGirl, though Henrietta [[IRejectYourReality viciously denies any evidence that this Catarina is different]].

* {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in ''Literature/TheSaviorsBookCafeStoryInAnotherWorld''. "Isekai" as a genre has a lot of PowerFantasy elements to it, and a lot of {{The Chosen One}}s in ''The Savior's Book Café Story in Another World'' (most of which are teenagers) JumpedAtTheCall when given the opportunity. Never mind the fact that "God" chose them with no real reason other than they were at the right place at the right time, they are so gun-ho at the idea of going on an adventure that they don't stop to consider their options. The protagonist, Tsukina, had no interest in going on account of being in her thirties and had already built a stable life for herself. Because of this, ''her'' Power Fantasy is to live peacefully in a Book Café without the stress of saving the world from monsters. The previous Savior is a SpoiledBrat who's Power Fantasy is to live a life of luxury free of consequences, getting live out that life after having {{charm|Person}}ed the Prince of Othel where she can bully her wait-staff, her status as Savior protecting her from anyone who takes umbrage.

The third Savior Youta has a Power Fantasy of wanting to learn magic and help others, much to the relief of everyone around him. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, someone slips him a TomeOfEldritchLore disguised as a regular magic textbook, and he accidentally breaks a magic barrier he was intending to reinforce. Luckily Tsukina is able to restore it.]]
