If a protagonist isn't affected by what they left behind, the isekai is failing its genre. That's why Moshuko Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) is one of the best isekai. Not because the MC is likeable, but because he is haunted by what he left behind and is influenced by the personality he formed in his "home world"
