* UnbuiltTrope: .Hack//Sign could practically be considered a deconstruction of Isekai stories such as ''Anime/SwordArtOnline'', except it came out years before they received anime adaptations and became the megahits they are now.
** You have Tsukasa, the socially awkward loser who gets trapped inside an MMO, except he's such a jerk to everyone he meets that few people can stand to be around him for more than 5 minutes and those who do eventually become his friends make it their mission to make him stop being such an ass.
** He sees being trapped in the MMO world as a great thing initially, but unlike other Isekai, the appeal isn't for him to become a badass he could never be in real life, but as a place to escape to and be alone without any social expectation.
** He gets a game breaking ability early on, a guardian that one hit kills anything it attacks. However, such an ability causes him a fair amount of grief as nobody respects him for having it, indeed much of the player base hates him and it becomes a public mission for a while to hunt him down for being such a blatant cheater.
** His character doesn't even become a badass statistically. His class is a support class and remains as such for the entire story. Whenever he actually does any fighting, its in a purely support role, healing and buffing his teammates as they do the actual fighting.
** And finally, the final solution to getting Tsukasa out of the game isn't some grand final battle or completed questline. It's accomplished by [[spoiler:a hacker crashing the server.]]
