I'm not sure what you mean, I don't think I've seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the "trapped in VR" ones.

I'm always a little disappointed by how quickly the regular world becomes irrelevant in the story. The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.

But from the isekais I've seen, I'd say you could replace half of them with a person with amnesia and nothing would change.

Wizard of Oz, for one. I'm using a Japanese term because English doesn't have a succinct one for that particular genre, but it apples to media anywhere.

It used to be the standard:

Digimon Adventure (the first series)/Digimon frontier (fourth series)
Inu Yasha
Monster Rancher

The only recent example I can think of is Zenshu from last year.

Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf might be up your alley: a guy finds out his lucid dreams have actually been him getting isekei'd every night for most of his life when he accidentally brings a friend/love interest back with him. She's fascinated by modern Japan so they start going back and forth between the real world and magical world together.
