Isekai is a genre where someone is taken out of their regular life and thrown into a new one.
Typically, it’s going to be a more chaotic world, with different structures, like a fantasy novel type of setting, or sci-fi, or “wild west”, or even standard time travel.

What does this mean and what is the reference?

There’s tropes involved, but that’s that gist.
Thank you 🙏
Isekai - 异世界 - 异 (different, strange) 世界 (world).
Akin to portal fantasy in the english world.
