Isekai protagonists who are actually having a pretty terrible time

1. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz: While there are moments of repreive, she mostly spends her time in Oz lost, confused, & getting attacked. Upon arrival she's immediately threatened by the wicked witch of the west, she's attacked by rude apple trees, almost set on fire, attacked by a lion (even if he's cowardly he still attacked her), drugged asleep, and is forced to infiltrate a castle & kill the wicked witch. All because she didn't want to give up her dog. (Not to mention the literal abuse Judy Garland experienced while on set).

2. Alice from Alice in Wonderland: She also spends her entire time in Wonderland (Under Ground) being confused, getting attacked, & straight up getting bullied.

3. Gertrude from I Hate Fairyland: She's a 30 something year old woman stuck in a child's body looking for a way to get back home. She's constantly getting attacked, almost killed, mamed, dismembered, & overall just hates every second of being stuck there.

4. Chihiro from Spirited Away: Her parents turn into horrifying pigs after eating some food & she's forced into literal slavery to save her parents & escape. Not to mention the fact that she had to give up her name & the longer she stays there the more likely she is to never escape.
