Interest Stacks

This usually means fantasy-themed shows which feel like JRPGs and aren't isekai because the main character doesn't travel from our world to another one. Some of these are very blatant in this regard, while others are mild.

This may include:

- RPG elements integrated into the universe; such as gaining XP/levels, character classes, joining a guild, a spell-based magic system and so on. This is most blatant when the anime's narrative gives the impression that you're watching its characters grinding a video game.
- Overpowered protagonist
- Reincarnation within the same universe
- Time travel (backwards or forwards) within the same universe
