As it turns out, most story elements are a reflection of reality rather than blatant plagiarism (there's that too though), I mean, you know those "secret realms" in xianxia and urban pokemon stories, where people explore pocket dimensions or w/e? So there's a form of entertainment in China called "secret room escape" that teens play, and you can kind of guess from there
