She also seems to be incredibly lucky, and with her reputation, people generally assume the best of her.
Isekai and Reincarnation
In most isekai titles we see the protagonist being summoned into another world. It makes sense since the word “isekai” means “different world.” For example, Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi) is a classic isekai from that perspective, where a regular salaryman gets summoned into a magical world.
Isekai without a different world seems like an unusual approach to the genre. However, fans insist that Tearmoon Empire is at the very least adjacent to isekai due to the protagonist Mia traveling back in time. Since she changes the future, the lines are blurry. Is it the same world after Mia has changed it so much?
Special Powers
Isekai protagonists usually get special powers. In Campfire Cooking, the main character gets a skill that allows him to get food and other items from modern-day Japan. In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, the protagonist becomes a slime and gains the ability to take on the skills and appearance of whatever he devours.
Mia’s special power is in her diary, which predicts her future and changes its predictions depending on what Mia does. With her knowledge of the future, Mia makes decisions that, hopefully, will let her escape the guillotine. The knowledge of the future can be considered a fairly overpowered ability. From this perspective, Mia does look like an isekai protagonist.
Mia’s Other Powers
As a joke, some fans also say that Mia has unprecedented luck. She constantly fails into success, especially as her reputation as the Sage of the Empire precedes her and makes everyone assume the best of her. With her diary, reputation, and luck, Mia is unstoppable!
Isekai Empire
In the end, the title of isekai fits Tearmoon Empire well enough. A lot of fans think that it is at least isekai-related. The example of Tearmoon Empire shows that bending the rules of genres is okay and that isekai as a genre is still loved by many people.
Is Tearmoon Empire isekai?
Isekai stories are very common and appreciated by many anime fans, but it’s always nice to see some variation on the genre.

Summary
Isekai is usually about a displaced person who ends up in a new world and with new abilities.
Mia ends up in her own world rather than a different one, but she is displaced in time.
She also seems to be incredibly lucky, and with her reputation, people generally assume the best of her.
