It’s official. You’re not an otaku nerd anymore if you say Isekai but someone with an extensive vocabulary. Don’t let anyone tell you anything else!

    “Isekai” is “another world”. Everything else is debatable.

    Some are rather strict on isekai being a trope: the protagonist of the work is transported or reincarnated into another world. Some however see it as a genre, defined by the presence of the trope and potentially additional factors (such as resemblance to other isekai works).
