I feel like a fantasy world that you can semi-freely travel to without death is not isekai.

    If you're going to apply that restriction you might as well go whole hog and also apply the "new world runs on shitty JRPG mechanics" part that also plagues modern isekai too.

    I'm actually enjoying the result of this, where they are now exploring these partial video game worlds in world.

    Berserk of Gluttony is a current example. The isekai genre posits these videogame-esque worlds. So I like that other animes are now exploring them.

    Uh, the main character Kagome falls through a well into feudal era Japan and cannot get back.

    Not sure how that doesn't qualify as an Isekai.
