Yes, that's normal. Although I can think of a few that's different. A certain slime, a certain sword etc.
I agree I can think of about eight Isekai type mangas where the MC isn't human out of the hundreds i've read ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Any where the mc is a elf, dwarf or beastman?
there is one manga where the mc is reaincarnated as a half dark elf/ half vampire

Ooh cool
There's one where the MC is reincarnated as a werewolf in the demon king's army: Jinrou e no tensei, Maou no fukkan
I like this so far
I think it's interesting that the mc isn't human
Ive read a lot of fantasy isekai and for some reason they always stay human no matter how many different races inhabit the new world
This is a fun change
