see why i don't get is

why bother making it isekai\

THE FUTURE IS WAIFU

An amazingly high number of the buildings and designs he ripped straight out of European architecture and art
Several of the castles are almost perfect replicas

if you have read nietzsche you need to read dostoevsky, they are counter weights. Crime in punishment is essentially response to overman

Whats this Nevis?

Also, Dark Souls was _heavily_ influenced by Berserk, so you would
