Isekai Ojisan
So I binged the whole series this weekend. Which is very meta, if you look at it as the main characters basically Binge-watching 17 years of uncle's Isekai adventure.
(Okay, weird thing going on here, in Firefox I have no access to the editing palette. Update, Fixed?)
Uncle's magic still working in the real world is an interesting twist. I was a bit disappointed that the appearance of the Tsundere Elf in the OP was just a transformation, and not that he found a way to bring her here. They sure seem to be hinting at it for season 2 if it happens after the final credits, but who can say for sure.

Did you read Sheckley's "Armor"? It has a major element in a similar style.

No, I hadn't heard of it before. Worth looking into?

I thought "Armor" was pretty good, although it wasn't my cup to re-read, even having it on paper. I saw references to it by peer sci-fi authors, by the way. Author's name is spelled correctly as John Steakley.

Hmmm, 1984 vintage, and DAW still wants $10 for the eBook.
And there's one of those terrible auto-generated "Study Guide" rip-offs of it out....
