That sounds like some sort of paradox.

Not as much of a paradox as Kennedy being the second shooter on the grassy knoll during the Kennedy assassination:

This.

Although wherever I wind up, I need to have an unconventional power people write off as useless, but it actually makes me the most OP character in that world and usually in a pretty obvious way. And, you know, I need a harem, because it's anime. If it's not anime, idk.

generally speaking, if it's reincarnation isekai, you just need to die in a certain way. the vending machine isekai guy dies because he tried to save a vending machine falling off a truck. apple isekai guy died by being crushed by an apple truck. karate isekai guy because he tried to duel a truck (he was unsuccessful)

summoning isekai is absolutely a crapshoot, so the tldr is to hang around oddly specific trucks a lot if you want control over your isekai

Zapped & Outlander are close to live action isekai TV Shows, although instead of dying they just appear in their new location/time period.

So it's like Western comics, where you drive a truck full of animals out to the nearest nuclear power plant, let them loose, then hope they get irradiated and bite you so you can "have an origin".

a vast, frozen wasteland that seemingly goes on for thousands of miles, with no sign of humanity save for a lone, desolate warehouse covering up the entrance to an enormous and winding subterranean cave system filled only with a strange, glowing fungus and big booty cat women.

also there's a chipotle and internet.

I don't think it matters how it happens. The isekai is mostly centered on what makes the person happy. I think they get to pick the isekai and than they can choose to have their memories of the picking process partially or completely erased.

how much isekai have you consumed? because it's a very, very, very broad genre at this point

going by my bookmarks i'm keeping up with about 300~ ongoing manga and a number of light novels

Nope, Isekai requires a different world. The question I don't fully have the answer to is if a time travel story would count.

If it is a real world, maybe? Like VRMMO stuff aren't considered isekais even though they typically treat the game world as though it was a real world with impossibly realistic npcs.

VRMMOs are generally considered isekai if it's hard to return to your original world- SAO was basically Kayaba's attempt at forcing an isekai, and he functionally succeeded, even if it wasn't really one

I'd argue same world time travel CAN be an isekai if it's different enough, but MIB isn't different enough. I'm talking like (spoilers for an anime from the 80's) Orguss different, where even though it's only a 15~ year timeskip, the world is completely different due to massive changes caused as side effects of the time travel incident

I've never seen a reverse Isekai where a user wakes up from a simulation of modern day Tokyo into a world 1000 years in the future. I'd say the closest was "Final Fantasy 10" and maybe "Blue Gender".

I'm not thinking of that though. I'm thinking of "The Matrix" where the protagonist's normal, humdrum life the audience is familiar with had been a simulation, and he ends up in the "real" world, which might as well be another planet.

Probably somewhere that housing is affordable, and people are paid closer to the time and labor put in. As a female, there's a good chance I'll end up as the villain in that world, rather than some cardboard cutout that gets to be the hero with his power fantasy. <_<
