Line 8:
If the character is unbalanced enough, this could possibly lead to him wanting to [[Put Them All Out of My Misery]].
Compare [[Life Will Kill You]] and [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]. Contrast [[Crap Saccharine World]], where a world looks great from the outside but hides darkness. [[Values Dissonance]] and [[Culture Clash]] are bound to come into play.
{{noreallife|Real Life is not a single trope.}}
Line 35:
* Most citizens of ''[[Xanth]]'' (magical realm) who travel to "drear Mundania" (non-magical rest of the world) feel that way about it.
* ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'' would constitute a [[Trope Codifier]] in that Swift was using the fantastic societies Gulliver encounters to lampoon British society at the time.
* Heaven in ''[[The Salvation War]] isn't very appealing to modern humanity. The hills and forests are pretty and air is incredibly clean, but most humans live in slums outside the Eternal City, working as slaves for the angels, and there are no useful strategic natural resources. For those who were given Salvation a thousand years ago, though, a surplus of crops, roof over the head and no fear of raiders is indeed paradise.
