What's up with the isekai genre? Are there any good isekais out there? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn't read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it's kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just "guilty pleasures"? The only one I've been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.

Edit: got a lot of recs, thanks everyone :)

If you like ecchi, the genre actually has seen a renaissance thanks to isekai mangas and are able to get away with much worse stuff nowadays compared to before, but in anime it's the opposite since they get censored to hell and back.

For guilty pleasures, Reincarnation Coliseum is the one I'm liking the most alongside Isekai Koushoku Musou Roku.

For normal stuff, Isekai Apocalypse MYNOGHRA, an isekai to a world that's suspiciously familiar to players of Heroes of Might and Magic, some nice war tactics and politics.
