More so if they are protected by the power of Gods (plot armor), or traveling in the company of powerful beasts.

Digimon Adventure was the first installment of the franchise that revolutionized the Isekai genre. In this Isekai, seven (later we find out they were actually eight) kids get sent to a parallel Digital World, where strange creatures called Digimon roam the vastness of a simulated reality. They eat, they fight, and they evolve, but most importantly, they create a bond with the Chosen Children, who are destined to save the Digiworld alongside their companions.

The franchise, created by the Bandai group, quickly rose in popularity, and after the first season's success, they launched nine iterations and several OVAs. Digimon was one of the pioneers of the Isekai genre that catered to younger audiences through their protagonists, who were children between eight to 11 years old.

His father notices this and tasks young Ars with selecting the best of the best to form the strongest army, capable of defending their Feud from invaders, and the imminent war that is threatening the peace of the kingdom. A heartwarming story of a young kid doing his best to take care of his family, friends, and subjects.
