good to hear. from my experience, they all looked the same and yeah, they had some weird themes that you mentioned (like harems). I think the main reason you see these tropes is that isekai acts like escapism (other "genres" also are like that), so you should figure out the main/side message/s thats far away from just "MC escapes his boring and meaningless chud life and appears in this cool world where everybody desires him and he is a very, if not the most, useful guy". I had an idea for Zigle Zogle, where the MC has an "escape world" (which sometimes leaks into the real world) but the goal of the story ultimately is escaping from illusion/fantasy and facing/re-enting reality.

One thing to help ya out is learning to write a script. Here is a video explaining the basics (for movies):

Here is a site where you can check comic scripts:

You can also post your scripts here and ask for opinions. Before a script, you could also write a very basic text explaining the whole story as a reference (not needed DOE).

>after all I believe that the real deal is not just the idea itself but how it is executed to make it stand out despite it being something simple and childish.

True, there's nothing new under the sun.
