    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.

    There’s tropes involved, but that’s that gist.
