While modern TV shows are predictable, modern isekai are even more so. So while my boredom is paramount I've made a list- a list of common plots that is(Comment if I'm missing any), keep in mind these are the most common ones, not every possible isekai plot:
Die in stupid way || Mistake by diety > Given weird power > Rebirthed into isekai fantasy Kicked from Hero's party > Gets Elf or otherwise non-human harem > Hero party begs for them back > Hero's party is outclassed > Beats Demon lord Powerful mage or king reincarnates > Several thousand years later they come back as a child > Develop small harem, often partially of former servants > Fights former enemies and wins easily Quiet kid's entire class or part of class is transported by magic circle to another world > They're singled out and tossed aside > Use underrated quirky skill and gains great power > slays every obtacle while developing a harem > Defeats entity or god that summons them Salaryman/boring person transported to another world in a mysterious event > They are assigned to some random force of the elite > they gain power through unconventional means Random person going about their day is summoned > cast aside > gains power > * can happen, it's kind of random
