Non-isekai light novels or anime that gives off false impression that it's might be isekai,but it's not really isekai because characters didn't die in Earth and reincarnated in fantasy-like another world or got transported in another world via supernatural phenomenon such as magic summoning ritual,pure coincidence or by will of another world's god.
Just like how pseudofossils are inorganic objects, markings, or impressions that might be mistaken for fossils,pseudo-isekai is how you should call an non-isekai anime or light novels that gives off so many wrong and false impressions that cause people think it's isekai while it's not.

Sword Art Online is not an isekai. Virtual reality is part of science fiction genre,not isekai genre. While SAO has multiple arcs involving characters having journeys in different virtual worlds,characters weren't transported by magic or die and got reincarnated like in Rising of The Shield Hero or That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime,therefore,SAO is pseudo-isekai,which is how i call non-isekai works that looks isekai,but they are not really an isekai.

Get the Pseudo-isekai mug.The action of taking a large bottle of hard liquor-usually vodka, and pretending to "chug" the bottle by making that swallowing movement with your throat. This is usually performed by desperate teens trying to impress a girl or the party animals.
"hey man remember an hour ago when that guy 'chugged' that vodka? he seems fine now, must've been a pseudo chug."

Get the Pseudo Chug mug.When you keep running into someone that you really don't want to run into, and it feels almost spooky or too weird to be a coincidence.
Erika: Wow, my ex-boyfriend just so happens to be going to an event that I'm going to tonight, AND he got a job in a city I used to live in, AND I saw him looking into my bathroom window last night.
