If you read quite a few Japanese light novels, you might encounter the Chinese ones which are more oriented around martial arts or mythology.
I think they have some interesting concepts, although can be overly nationalistic, especially within the past few years.
I get that Gate had a streak of nationalism in it, but these ones are far more nationalistic. Also, while Hollywood has titles which are overtly nationalistic like the ones where America liberates countries, it isn't as frequent.
If I were to compare them to an anime, it would have to be Dragon Ball. Similar sort of mythology.
Then, there are Korean ones which are like "I'm going to go through this portal to another world to hunt down monsters to get monster hides / magic crystals in the monsters to sell so I can make enough money to become a real estate tycoon."
Naturally, the storyline varies but the characters do like to talk about buying up prime real estate.
Then again, maybe those are just the ones that Western folks are interested in (although, I doubt they'd go out of their way to find something nationalistic).
Of course, it's not just them slaying monsters to collect magic rocks. They learn new spells / abilities and level up too in some way.
