How "Jump-The-Shark" is this Idea

[Elmir_Arch-Ham_of_Omega]

- MC gets Isekai'd.
- Has access to Earth stuff.
- While doing adventure stuff, finds a portal back to Earth.
- Wrong Earth,
- It's basically just a reskinned dungeon with Earth supplies i.e. got the same big monsters running around, and probably the occassional trash thugs in mohawks

I think I've read this premise before... at least a few dozen times. It's pretty much the "returned isekai hero" trope with a few extra steps in between

 

[Elmir_Arch-Ham_of_Omega]

Oh right, heard of that one. But this one's more of "just visiting" with no intention to stay.

There was a small surge of such in KR GB stories similar to this, examples:

I Have Returned, but I Cannot Lay down My Gun - Novel Updates

Awesome Shut-In Necromancer - Novel Updates

And also few examples I can't find atm. Certainly this was already done, but is a good collection of tropes mashed together that feels fresh.

To jump the shark, you have to essentially break your world and/or characters for the sake of spectacle. So no it doesn’t jump the shark.

Yea and the zoomers cant let it stay dead, it died 20 years ago.

I was THERE (along with about a million other viewers) in 1977 when Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzerelli, feeling betrayed by Hollywood and his best friend, Richie Cunningham, literally (ski)jumped the shark. It was a season-ending cliffhanger, inspired by the popularity of Jaws and the show Happy Days pretty much outlasting the actual fifties (though not as badly as M*A*S*H* outlasted the Korean War)...
