A term for when an anime, manga, or LN tries to get out of being labeled as isekai by claiming to be fantasy instead, and then just not showing the part where someone gets isekai'd.
Have you watched Goblin Slayer?
No, I don't watch isekai.
But it's not an isekai, it's fantasy.
Native isekai is still isekai.
