Well, four of these look like they might be enjoyable at least.

Wow, I have zero interest in watching any of that. I guess I'll be able to take the time to watch more from my backlog. Also they actually made an anime of Re:Monster? Its mostly trash, but I wonder if they will cut out some of the more >ahem< troublesome parts for the anime?

I fixed the rest of them:
"Zagan might be the most feared evil sorcerer now (but on Earth he was just a normal salaryman until bad luck transported him to another world!) ..." "Masaki Fujiyoshi is a stay-at-home spouse and parent ... but in another world he was the demon king! but now in his new life...." "After losing her parents and being abandoned by her relatives, Mito is left all alone in another world" |

Archdemon's Dilemma is just a fantasy. No rebirths, reincarnations or summons from another world here. Vampire Dormitory is a fantasy romance about a vampire and a human. Tadaima, Okaeri is a BL. |

I know an isekai fan, and when I ask him why he likes it so much, he talks about how isekai provides a good reason to explain things to the watcher/reader.
...If you have to explain things, that's bad writing! You can show-not-tell just as effectively without an isekai crutch. |

Perhaps a different take on that is that they like series that explore a person coming to a different world and trying to make sense of and living in a new world with different rules. It doesn't necessarily have to be bad writing to do that, but I will not deny that there are a lot of series that become overly dependent crutches and tropes. Those crutches and tropes unfortunately can easily put a writer into a dead end if not careful, particularly as a series runs longer and longer. The spider isekai, at least in the webnovel version, had to reset the main character's abilities for example and the sword isekai series also had to narrow at least twice so far the protagonist's abilities as well. Personally I like exploring how different isekai series approach just being an isekai and it's interesting to see how different authors can approach the same premise differently. Flawed or not, it's interesting to see different takes to the same subject. |

An Archdemon's Dilemma - How to Love Your Elf Bride, Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers, and Vampire Dormitory are locks for me.

Except most isekai doesn't do anything with those different rules, often sidelining them by the cheat skills with which MC can mostly ignore most of the trouble. They are usually way less exploring than typical fantasy story about common peasant who somehow becomes knight (which means world of nobles) or wandering barbarian (like Conan) entering civilized world or girl married to noble in a different country who has to deal with and learn new rules of their new society, especially with most isekai being bland instance of same pseudo-medieval world with magic and JRPG rules, and most attention being paid to various skill rules and meta-game strategies. The Spider isekai does it much better than average by making more use of the game system as plot device and by spreading the story between characters with very different circumstances and different time periods, but most of isekai are actually more boring and less exploring than the Western fantasy stories from after-Tolkien boom that I've read. |
