I don't think you realize, Live, that most published Light Novel as of now use exactly that setting - crossing into an Alternate Universe. More specifically, the one that's selling now is the one like SAO or Log Horizon with stats screens, skills and everything. There's Only Sense Online (one of the better ones actually), Skill Thief, I-Reincarnated-As-A-Slime, Leged of Shield Hero and so on.

So the setting you detest is pretty much used by almost every Japanese published writer in the world. This is set of by legendary masterpieces such as Familiar Zero, and the trend has not ended since. You are free to dislike it, but your comment is most definitely inaccurate at best.
