    Writing Prompt Obscure real-world cultures/settings for an Isekai

    Writing Prompt Japan Summons. No, wait. It’s the whole world!

    I've had an idea kind of like this in the works for a while now- where an alien civilization akin to the Federation in Star Trek, keeping surveillance of the planet, moves humanity from the 'near threatened' to 'vulnerable' conservation tier (due to the risks of habitat destruction caused by...
