There are 2 types of people that watch and sometimes review isekai anime: The ones that want some action and fan service, and the other that watch it with the intention of seeking plot or something meaningful from the anime. The latter group is the reason why Sword Art Online is not rated 8+ yet.
Isekais mainly target edgy teenagers because they seek for some thrilling action and horny fan service in their basement life but when those teenagers grow up and look back at their decision of giving Sword Art Online a 10/10 because in a movie Asuna's nipple was revealed in the bath, they will cringe so hard they'd probably want to get isekai'd themselves.
However The Eminence In Shadow does not try to be what it is not, and that is cringe. (I'll refer to the anime as TEIS from now) TEIS embraces the cringe and most of the time uses it as a source of comedy. For example, the main character, Cid Kagenou is an edgy teenager that goes around beating criminals up in his past life when he was a teenager. When he got isekai'd and discovered the world of swords and magic, his dream of becoming a mysterious being that hides in the shadow, pulling strings from behind the scenes and to make everyone know him but not know who he is. Or in our words, a OP mc. But the reason why I say this anime is "an anime that does not satisfy any community" is because it does one thing most isekai main characters do not, stick to their original goal.
Cid wants to be a background character when he is just a normal human, to the public at least. At day Cid is just a normal teenage boy and at night he is a mastermind called Shadow that does stuff in the shadows. And he sticks to that character throughout the anime. Why is this a bad thing? For example, most OP isekai main characters reveal their godly powers when there are a lot of people around / important people around, seeing everyone's jaw drop and eyes wide as the main character is using only a fraction of their power is the most satisfying thing ever. But Cid on the other hand, because he does not want anyone to know he is Shadow, naturally he won't use his true powers if he is in his normal form. As a result, when Cid gets into fights or is required to display his strength, he intentionally flops it and humiliates himself. Why does he do that? To make everyone think that he is weak, of course, so that no one can even have the thought that he is shadow. But if everyone has a functioning ear or a barely good eye sight, they will be able to recognise Shadow is Cid immediately.
Continuing on with the anime, although human for Cid can't be regarded as a OP mc with all the hot chicks, there are some intense fight scenes with ear please sound effects. Everytime he says "atom" the comments section will go wild and everytime he humiliates himself the anime's viewer base will drop by 10%. But leaving aside that, the comedy is very funny. It uses parodying the isekai genre itself to show us how stupid some cool looking isekai shots may look like practically. For example, imagine a scene where the main character is playing a piano and the moon light is shining down on him and the piano while there are feathers falling from the sky. In the anime, because Cid wanted to look cool, he stole a grand piano and got some feathers by ripping them off from some pigeons and throwing them in the sky, when we see a girl who went to find the Cid, was playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the grand piano, under the shining moonlight and with feathers falling from the sky. Seeing how he achieved this scene destroys the idea of how cool this scene looks for me and I can't help but laugh.
Overall, if you can watch this anime without anticipating when's the next fight scene or when is Cid going to make be regarded as a OP mc (in his normal form) then you probably shouldn't watch it because you're probably going to rage. If you want some cheap fan service then you'll get disappointed because there isn't a girl falling down every 5 minutes revealing her panties. And if you want some good comedy then watch this.
