Tbf don’t the games usually have you going through henchmen and henchwomen before reaching final boss?
In the story telling of the big baddie games you implicitly (and explicitly) wrecking the (demon) society while getting good at game, i assume same is true of gamer anime
In games you have to kill all the demon generals before you get to fight the big bad! Each one unlocks a new region.
But don’t the isekais follow that plot structure, broadly speaking? Leveling up by killing demon generals or whatever? And not go immediately after big baddie
Depends on the show tbh. I see a lot where they only go after the generals because they have no idea where the demon king actually is.
