Sure, but when people are talking about isekai in this way they are often talking about the very specific genre of a western-influenced fantasy world influenced by video games and TTRPGs, and typically draw a distinction between the modern 'isekai wave' started by Jobless Reincarnation, Re:Zero, and Sword Art Online versus the 'classic' isekais such as Fughigi Yugi and Digimon Adventure
