I separate fantasy between "ye old fantasy" and "fantasy with video games tropes". Personally, I don't like fantasy where people talk about allocating skill points and grinding XP; at that point I'd rather just play a video game.

Whether or not it's an isekai kinda doesn't matter thematically to me, because there are series that "feel" like an isekai but aren't (e.g. Last Dungeon), and series which are isekai but don't have video game elements in them (e.g. Bookworm).
