Guess Netflix wants to try the Isekai genre now, huh?

Aside from a handful of isekai franchises (Re:Zero, Bookworm and Jobless Reincarnation), I am someone who sees the genre as a plague. Perhaps Netflix is going to help in getting rid of isekai.

Doubt it, as long as CR and Sentai license more or even if Disney+ tries.

I find it rather funny Netflix’s first attempt at an isekai is essentially a meta take on the concept, coming back from the other world and seeing how he works.

Its ok to move on from the Look "Pervert/Creep with the Glasses".

Is that cover image a spoiler for the manga?

Specifically, the two elves at the bottom?

Now the question of if it will be in months-long Netflix jail, or have a 2-3 week delay stream like Komi.

Judging by the wording in the stream, most likely the latter.

Nah, there isn't any "plot" besides the Uncle recalling his memories of traveling in the Isekai. It's just action/comedy/fanservice.

At the bottom of the cover image, there is an elf from the fantasy world on the left side, yet there is an elf on the right side (real world side) that looks the same as the other one. That is what I am referring to.

Any clarification would be a spoiler.
