    So there are a ton of isekai stories, with various gags, mechanics, settings and so on…
    My question is, what's a concept or idea you haven't seen implemented in an isekai story yet, or if you have, haven't seen very much.

    For example, there are a lot of "management isekai" where a modern person makes use of their extreme work ethic, modern knowledge, sheer creativity, or some combination of the three… among them is, if there's some sort of need for agriculture reform, using crop-rotations or dead leaves as a sort of fertilizer are common themes.

    BUT, that's hardly modern. I want to see an isekai that makes use of vertical farming! What's that? Making buildings with farmed plants inside. In our world, it's impossible without already a semi-modern level of tech, but with magic creating reinforced concrete and magic tools that just emit sunlight, should be relatively trivial. The main benefit to this being that in a walled city like those in medieval times, needs food provided by surrounding villages that can't all have walls. So with a "farm tower" inside the walls, a city can produce its own food, and not need to protect it's villages from Invaders.

    Thoughts?

    I've read it. The underground empire isn't the main focus at first, but comes into play later.

    Yeah it's more of a side thing that's sort of relevant to the plot, but not really.

    A magician isekai into the modern era. Oh! I can see it now: ":aww:Regarding the magician's reincarnation into the modern era:aww:~:aww:A heart warming adventure of bringing magic and mana to another world:aww:!"

    Edit: Exactly that long. Not one word less, but could be ten words longer.

    Edit2: @ZXu2002 thanks for the idea m8

    Edit3: Yes, the blobs are part of the title

    Isekai where a fantasy land character (western or eastern) is transported to a futuristic sci-fi setting? Like post apocalyptic or possibly space opera? Really contrast there.

    How about an isekai that is actually just an alien world in our universe. Or how about an isekai where everyone and everything is just gigantic in comparison to a human being
