| A very large portion of isekai genre tends to have video game mechanics like leveling up or skills baked into the alternate world/s they explore. Sometimes it's because the other world *is* a game and sometimes it's just like that. But what about isekai that don't have this feature, anything recommended or not like that? Where it's "just" an alternate world or some such? Does something like that even exist, lol? |

| Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari Drifters Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata I hesitate to straight-up recommend any of them, but they do fit your description, and I quite enjoyed each of them for different reasons. There's also a lot more older stuff like Escaflowne, Rayearth, Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku, Zero no Tsukaima, but I'm even more hesitant about recommending those. |
| - Urasekai Picnic - Haibane Renmei - Ascendance of a Bookworm (I think this is accurate but would have to rewatch in full to confirm - someone correct me if wrong here) I really heavily dislike when it's incorporated as a feature of other worlds which are not themselves video games and therefore have no reasonable logical basis to exist in that way as a part of it. Seems like nothing but a very cheap narrative shortcut/shorthand. |
