Isn't a democracy like in Ishuzoku Reviewers the most natural form of government that isekai should have?

Taiwan number one!

Though it always means purges happen every 10 secs when someone is strong enough to face the local tyrant.
Then again Sects are pretty much republics in some sense
Ian Edwards
knights are usually depicted as being more uniformed and discipline than adventurers. One on one a high rank adventurer can probably beat a knight but a knight order can easily fuck over a party of adventurers.
Oliver Collins
There are also some series where high ranking adventurers tend to be recruited as knights. Though high rankers make more than knights, knights have a steadier stream of income. Though history taking professional military from the local populous tends to be the first step of a monarch collapsing (usually because an army whose main force is composed of commoners might get cold feet when ordered to suppress commoners that might be their family members)

That's just upward mobility in action! It's important to shake things up and root out corruption through mass executions every once in a while! And the bloodbath with eventually be stopped by the regional tyrant. After all, it's not like a mere disciple of a lower sect could ever rise to overthrow the current exalted ruler, his glory has shined through the past ten million years unshadowed!

What I can never understand is why adventurers never attempted to overthrown a government making up of powerless overweight nobles even though they can kill fucking dragons.

Royal bloodlines posses unique powerful magic like teleportation, healing or enchantment while plebs can only master elemental magic

Only in worlds where a single adventurer can't slay the whole knight order with a swing of his sword and destroy the capital by himself.
Logan Kelly
You got so close, and then you failed to finish the thought.
Yes, weak monarchs would be overthrown by adventurers.
And then the adventurers would rule until they would get overthrown themselves.
A society where people power up as easily and as individually as the typical RPG or fantasy world cannot realistically have stable governments. It will inevitably fall to chaos as short-lived empires replace each other with every generation.
This makes law and order impossible. This in turn makes trade basically impossible.
And that's why these worlds would be in perpetual stone age.
