| If you really think about it, Dungeons can be thought as other world, and the MC and other people come and go to this so called dungeon/other world. Plus the common trope about isekai that the MC have some special/OP skill. This is not like Danmchi, that they just explore regular dungeons. Mild Spoiler. Later when the monarch are introduce it was stated that they are from another world/dimension. |
| Nope. This is a separate genre. Don't know if it has any official name, but it's as popular in Korea nowadays as isekais are popular in Japan. I call it System apocalypse, as some apocalyptic situation comes onto humans of earth, and it comes with system, dungeons and quests. I wouldn't put it together with Isekais as it's genre as big as Isekai itself, so it would totally change the definition of what is isekai if we included that, and I just heard that the word Isekai was just recently added to the English dictionary... Would be a shame to have to redefine it right afterward. |

| maybe partial isekai or just small part of the story genre because its not really the focus |
| That would be very far fetched. |
 |
| Half isekai half normal world then. |

Moppit said: It's not an Isekai. Mostly, an Isekai is when a main character travels to another world and can't come back. If it's the other way around, they are referred to as invaders or visitors. I know it's support character being Isekai, but apparently not enough to call it an Isekai. In that perspective, would SAO be a partial isekai, since they couldn’t comeback from the game world for a time? I didn’t think it was, but your def made me curious. I had thought isekai was when a soul was reincarnated or when a person is summoned or both into another world or universe. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| If we consider the story and WHY the dungeons exist in the first place, which anime-only people don't know yet, then it's not isekai. |
| It technically is, but not due to the dungeons. That being said, I don't think there's a point in adding that tag, it should be left when something being an isekai is an important point of the setting from the start. |

| @hory-portier The genre is simply called Fantasy. Sometimes the answer is too easy to get it :) |
I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :) |

| @Sajonji Nah. Almost everything is fantasy. Isekai too. I mean the sub-genre on the level equal to isekai. |
