I don't judge series based on that. There have been really enjoyable series with OP protagonists. Like Mondaiji, to name one that got an anime. It's more challenging to write an entertaining and interesting story with an OP MC because it removes the uber traditional growing up and struggling to overcome progressively stronger opponents part, so the good stuff has to be elsewhere. But it's not impossible to write such. And it's most certainly not any trademark of a bad isekai story. However, if you find the whole setting detestable, then there's no saving it for you. Just like I don't listen to rap music, you just need to skip this large category of isekai.
