Isn't a democracy like in Ishuzoku Reviewers the most natural form of government that isekai should have?
>world filled with literal supermen
>most of them are attention seeking troublemakers who end up becoming adventurers because they don't want to obey the rules and love the thrill
If you think about it, a system like this is too turbulent for monarchy and feudalism, especially when the monarchs and nobles in many setting are just weakass normal humans. They will be overthrown in no time and there is no reason any superman would want to work under them, making the only people who can become leaders those who get the support of the majority.

depends if your monarchy are a clan of super humans

Example though? I don't remember any isekai where all aristocrats are as strong as adventurers.

Is this the thread?

in most isekai everyone except the most crippled can use magic
and even among said cripples there's the MC that is OP anyway

The one with the 7 genius children.
Considering how anime works, this is how isekai should work. At the very least some super strong guy will also want to become the king/emperor and do it. And then because of anime bloodlines his children will also big strong.

Chinksekai is all about that, there's "government" but really it's all just a coat of paint over "might makes right". The mayor rules the city because he can personally kill everyone else who lives there, and the Emperor is in charge because he could fight the entire empire himself with his bare hands and come out the victor without a scratch.
Assuming there's big power differences it's highly likely to turn out like that, and even if they aren't THAT big, it's still oligarchy. A few powerful clans/companies/individuals get together and negotiate terms with each other, and everyone else fills in underneath them.
The most likely organization for most Isekai settings is feudal nobility of power is inheritable, and corporate oligarchy if it's possible for anyone to become strong. Neither one of them rules out democracy, it just means it'll be at best a sham system only applicable to the poor and weak, while the true rulers wield absolute power from the shadows. You know, like earth.

Konosuba, Slime and Sword Dad are examples of that.

At least it makes sense like that. But in Jap isekai all city bursting adventurers just obey the words of the useless king and fatass nobles, which makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense if you assume the writer aren't very observant and only see the "front" face of government. The figureheads and faces of politics all look like that. They're "in charge" and everyone listens to them, but it doesn't actually make any sense until you see the power behind them and realize they're just middle managers.
If you're not interested on politics and your story doesn't touch on it that's all you WOULD see as an average adventurer, or even an above average one with a below average perception. It's not a problem until you get into the part of the story where the author decides he actually DOES want to have a whole political arc and reveals he has no fucking clue what he's doing and the entire government of the world was just a "chimps and ladder" arrangement where everyone was just blindly following arbitrary tradition. That kind of thing actually HAS happened in real life too so it wouldn't be so bad if it was acknowledged and started a gigantic civil war.
