In the traditional isekai theme, someone dies, and gets reincarnated into a fantasy world, and power creep quickly goes out the window.

Instead of that, what happens if someone from a wondrous world of fae and magic dies, and gets reincarnated into our world where none of that exists, and nothing that they can do can change that. There is no magic, and office work drudgery is probably forced upon them.
 
A Midsummer Night's Dream always has a ton of potential to play with. Also, Puck without his magic would probably go a little insane...
 
I’ve finally written it and edited, will posting it soon in my author page.
Looking forward to it.
On this idea though, I was thinking of a thin spot in the membrane that separates dimensions. In our world it moves around a bit, but in the other, it's fixed, creating a huge junkyard in the middle of a desert. Our main character finds himself transported through one. I've got nothing beyond that, though.

Are you saying that traveling between dimensions need exchange mass? Sounds really logal, how else would both dimensions uphold mass/energy conservation laws.

Sorry that went right over my head. 😁
I'm no physicist. It's just something cooked up in my brain to sort of tie in mysterious disappearances in our world, all over the world. And then let the MC get a basic idea of what's happened to him, when he finds the remains of Flight 19.

Ah, there's a weird typo to boot, but the idea, as in a comment on the physics of a fantasy world it was, whenever something is transported between dimensions, exactly same mass is transported the opposite way. It may just a chunk of air, but sometimes you will get person vs person exchange (plus something little extra) or a couple against a car or something. It's something most of the time absolutely irrelevant to the story, but may place someone useful constraints on what's possible, possibly, in some key moment.

They then make their fortune writing wonderful 'fiction' about their home dimension ;-)
