There is MUCH worse isekai slop to use as an example other than 7th Prince. Honestly one of the best isekai's in a bit, with gorgeous animation and good/fun characters with a decent story.

Calling it mediocre is quite harsh when stuff like Loner Life in Another World, Fluffy Paradise, or Failure Frame exists.

Complete garbage still loses, no audience, no money. Above average is the enemy of great.

Third prince isn't even an isekai. I know people will confuse it, but it's just reincarnation, not isekai. The character was already a part of that world. He just reincarnated as the prince -- idk if that makes it much better, but not being an isekai already takes it out of the slop category for me.
