The ability to passively view other worlds and the actions of other isekai'd individuals from a semi-omniscient perspective. The visions are fragmented and appear in varying degrees of regularity although occasionally some just stop occurring completely.

Rip van Winkle isn't a long enough period of time, it has to be long enough for there to be a massive cultural shift for it to be isekai

the most meaningful difference between the world he wakes up in and the one he fell asleep in is that he's old as hell

meanwhile in Planet of the Apes the world is now ruled by gorilla people, in Dr Stone 95% of humanity is statues and everything's basically destroyed, in NTHT climate change turbofucked everybody and warlords are using child soldiers to fight over the scraps

e: The Time Machine and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court would be my calls for the first two recognizable proto-isekai

The Dungeon of the Black Company is an isekai whose main character is a lazy, greedy, selfish bastard who cuts corners, looks for get rich quick schemes, and would (probably) be willing to sell out his coworkers if it meant living it rich. It's pretty entertaining for a lot of the same reasons that Kaiji is entertaining (and in some ways I would describe the manga as "Kaiji gets Isekai'd"); It satirizes capitalism, the main character constantly gets into schemes and alternates between getting dunked on for doing stupid things and winning against "THE MAN". It does have one major flaw: it has the "little girl that's nearly naked but is actually <insert powerful ancient being here>" cliche.

There was isekai nursery or something where the guy becomes a summoner but all his summons are level 1 baby monsters and he’s a pretty lovely banker guy who scams people. It wasn’t great and got cancelled but it wasn’t awful either? The ending was cute iirc

I initially misread this as the monsters in the dungeon getting Isekaied and having to live in the modern world Devil is a Part-Timer style. Which would have been far more interesting.

The Devil is a Part-timer! is the closest I can think of off the top of my head, although I guess it's more an Isekai than anything else.

I maintain that the protagonist of 80,000 gold coins is a total piece of dogshit but the story gives her a complete pass 100% of the time. She's decided to scam people with cheap items for a living, INTRODUCED MODERN WARFARE TO A MEDIEVAL FEUDAL SOCIETY. Nether of which had any negative repercussions weirdly, since the story is just that fluffy

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu!

By the same author as Konosuba. The MC is an evil henchman who gets sent to another world. He has to perform evil deeds to earn evil points to spend on teleporting poo poo from the real world to the Isekai world in order to survive.

It’s not as bad as you might think. She doesn’t actually sell any weapons or use modern soldiers to invade or anything. And while her profit margins are enormous, the people buying feel that the price is fair for the local scarcity. If she priced them low, on the other hand, she would essentially ruin the market for the local producers of any similar goods.

We see in later chapters that there are other countries that do have muskets and cannons, and she doesn’t use violence against nations even when provoked, choosing other means of revenge.

All of FUNA’s protagonists are sometimes assholes, mind you, but 80k gold is much better than the Potions one.

True. And since the story is fluffy, there's no asides about self-interested noblemen immediately beginning to research her warfare technologies and methodologies to use for their own gains as would likely happen IRL. Still conceptually not too hot. It's isekai imperialism basically, albeit of the narratively justified and defensive variety.

Team 80k Isekai World Police.

As a contrast re: how to ethically use modern tech as a superpower in an isekai without going violently mad with power, I think the won the lottery isekai works pretty well.

The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious. Not much of the manga has been translated, but I've read volume 1 of the light novel it really gets good when the plot starts moving. It's getting an anime that starts next month.

The amateur fiction site the isekai boom got started from, Shosetsuka ni Narou, has a separate site specifically for R-18 rated series called Nocturne Novels. I don't think it gets much notice from English translators though, outside of the previously posted Sekkaku Cheat.
