I still prefer well-done gimmicky shit way more tho. Stuff like Yasei no Last Boss Arawareta, Tearmoon Empire (well, if you consider the mc being an absolute moron with ex+ luck to be a gimmick), all them manhwa that involve a little girl trying to be as cute as possible so her dad/brothers don't murder her, Protecting the Heroine's Older Brother, that virus isekai, I Shall Survive Using Potions, and all the interesting cultivation/isekai/gaming hybrids that are often seen in manhua (the most interesting of which was I'm An Evil God which wins the award for the most utterly meaningless title in the context of the story).

I might prefer well done gimmicky shit too but there isn't any (talking anime here, not manga/manwha). Like ultimately, the main draw of isekai is still fantasy adventure and I feel like most authors forget that and regardless of what kind of thing it is, you still need good writing. The two good fantasy anime I've seen in the last few years is made in abyss and mushoku tensei, neither of which happens to be gimmicky, but I don't think adding a gimmick would ruin everything either, they just need to write characters and worlds well. Make ME want to be in that fantasy world and not just as an OP badass with a harem. Make me wish I could be there as a regular person.
