Can’t say I relate or that I’ve watched much isekai. The only I’ve followed for a while was Overlord and it doesn’t fit your bill that’s for sure. Momonga is overpowered but morally mega flawed, which is precisely what keeps the plot interesting.

Isekai genre is kind of getting stupid bloated, and sadly an overwhelming portion of it is what’s come to be known as “power fantasy”, in which the main character, is intentionally made with as little personality as possible, because the writers believe that allows people to mentally “self insert” themselves as the MC.
Which I have to say, most people are considering the genre pretty tired, to the point where many of them are starting with paordies of the genre.
