He spent his whole life under the pretense of white good/black bad and struggled. But the moment he chooses to go the other path his life opens up for him. A steady job, good income, a succubus wife, a sturdy home/dorm room.

There's a moral here.

@jonsmth It feels so much like an isekai that I don't think it's wrong to call it that with what the "genre" has become. Basically the main characters have an unfulfilling life until they get transported into another world and live how they see fit. That's exactly what happens on this manga but instead of getting "isekai'd" he just joins a company. Some might call this a "native isekai".

That's really stretching it.
The usual premise of isekai is that the very supposedly relatable main character came from another world and would bring his insight, knowledge, and skills that may bring about change in the new world.
The isekai setting is also a convenient way to easily narrate the fantasy setting through the eyes of the main character without having to consider how the main character sits in the world - the main character does not have the knowledge of the flora, fauna, culture, and technology of the new world, so there is no way for him to act in an unexpected way. It's also easier to relate to the surprise and wonderment of the main character, who came from the same world as ours.
It just so happens that the media in the isekai genre is saturated with a harem premise, since that's the sort of thing that's popular among male authors and readers. Sometimes, the isekai aspect becomes negligible in some of the stories that it may as well be a plain old fantasy setting. However, despite all that, a fantasy setting with no other-world/original world aspect to it is strictly not an isekai.

That said, if jumping into a new workplace as a graduate was enough to be an isekai, then New Game should be an isekai for you too.

@tkmisere Yeah, it's a fantasy but it's a fantasy story with the intention to feel like an isekai. In the past there have been many fantasy stories and all of them felt somehow different, even though there might have been some similarities, now just from the title alone, character design, and what's happening on the story you get the feeling it's an isekai even though it's not. Well, if you've read enough stories like these you would know what I mean. Also, it's a light novel adaptation so, as usual, only the female characters have "decent" character design and nothing unique comes out of the main character, as you would expect of a story that rides along what's popular nowadays. It isn't an isekai but it feels so much like an isekai that it might as well be.
If you want to see what fantasy stories looked like in the past compared to now you can read: Konjiki no gash ; Berserk ; Hoshi no Samidare.
There are also great fantasy stories nowadays, but it's insane how many of these are being published(and adapted).
