Anime if anything seems to be doing worse at this. Nearly every fantasy or fantasy adjacent anime goes for a knock-off D&D MMO style and it feels so tired. They don't want their audience to need to make the smallest effort to understand the world and the role of the characters in it.
At least some of take a super unique approach... like being reincarnated as a vending machine.
You got a title for that one? Sounds like something I'd enjoy
Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon. I think there's an anime adaptation.
