    Not sure if time-travel (within the same world) is considered to be Isekai

    Based on reader expectation, I would say no. Time travel is not what one expects from an Isekai story. In practice, I would say it depends on how you implement time travel.

    Writing There isn't a point to physics if they can be "broken".

    It's correct to say physics cannot be broken in a physical sense. Physics is a concept, and concepts do not break. They only cease to be applicable or interesting. (If one means "broken" as overpowered, then that's subjective.) If real-world physics do not apply correctly to a given fantasy...

    An unbeatable game

    Does being immortal mean you are no longer human? Even if that is so, non-humans can still write. My point is that even if you read all the books everyone else has written, you can still write books yourself, possibly books than never end, just not the Never-Ending Story. In the worst case...
