Why is he a villain?
He minds his own business and only people being killed are those attacking him.

I guess he's considered one because he refuses to submit to the government.

That is in the old world. In the new world. He doesn't bother anyone unless they attack him.
Yeah, reading through the basic idea again, it's obvious this mad scientist is more likely to be seen as a force of nature that people can avoid by simply not going there, he doesn't even demand sacrifices. Hmm, come to think of it, these sacrifical women must have felt quite insulted/relieved they weren't taken.

Reminds me of this one axed manga named Shiina Dark
The “Demon Lord” had a HUGE load of rumors made about him being a horrible person stack up in the centuries he was gone
Among them included how he was a very lustful person who enjoyed lots of women, so the surrounding nations kept sending their most beautiful women to him as offerings even when he kepts on rejecting them....though when they came back they were all socially ostracized and went back to the Demon Lord’s island and populated its surrounding uninhabited towns
Though, how rumors of such horrible behavior persist even when the sacrifices to be come back unharmed again and again, is sorta author fiat or something
Reminds me also of this other manga about a wingless vegetarian dragon who got sent a child as an offering when they thought he ate people, even when he could speak and never demanded for sacrifices or even attacked anyone in the first place

Maybe it could work in that he’s only a “villain” in the sense that people kept believing the rumors about him and occasionally sent champions who got shot to death by him or came back frustrated and lying about there being any fight at all

Idea: In a Low/Dark Fantasy world with humans in it, a highly advanced tank with an artificial intelligence somehow ends up there, right after having helped win a war and was about to get a huge number of medals attached
The AI Tank stumbles on a village about to be raided by Viking expies and intervenes and vaporizes them
The superstitious peasants are afraid, but eventually come around to thanking it and somehow calling it a Knight
The Knight-Tank goes on adventures saving people from monsters, raiders, soldiers etc

There is a funny thai manga called Isekai Transporter that deals with the other side of the Isekai equation. Who takes the request of worlds in need of a hero, chooses the 'heroes' to be isekaid, and ensure they have a fatal accident (usually a hit and run) after which they will revive or reborn in the new world.
Or how to make mass murder look like a morally upstanding yet challenging bussiness oportunity for people beyond serial killers and terrorists.

Possibly speaking, that guy sending people heroes' actually a deranged serial killer

No, ironically the manga is very specific in how the hiring process go, they were formally people who were spree or serial killers, persons with mental illness that were suceptible about obeying voices in their heads or hardened criminals but they managed to improve their HR practices so nowadays they contract professional people in need of money that neverless understand the mechanics and risks of the job of sending people to the afterlife to be reborn as heroes, which is still a murder if captured by the authorities. One of their best operatives does it mostly because he can do a cleaner job and therefore prevent collateral damage during the Isekai process.
Even the method for sending those souls have evolved from complex and time demanding satanic sacrifices, to bloody but way faster murder to a magical bumper that separates the soul of their target from their body and send it to the afterlife.

Counts as Isekai, still
Idea: Conan The Barbarian/Cimmerian and Red Sonja, She Devil With A Sword reincarnate or get isekai'd into the bodies of Ned Stark and Catelyn Tully respectively, with the full knowledge and memories of the latter to properly know what's going on
On their wedding night, where Ned has to give Catelyn an heir, right before going off to war.
They instead go off and fight Robert's Rebellion together, whilst looking like the picture above
Robert can only ask when did Ned become more manly than him and why are neither of them wearing clothes and who came up with the chainmail bikini and why is Catelyn still alive and allowed to fight?

So a perversion of the perfect glory that is MorningLightMountain? The MC disgusts me with his plebian desire to engage in and desire coexistence.
Then again there are few people willing to accept that they are and ought to be the villain and be content with doing their utmost to achieve the victory parameters they were obviously designed for.

Never read this Commonwealth Saga, but for me this could be also less about caring for others
But be about Ambition
The “Beast” from WH40K’s “War of The Beast” didn’t just enslave and turn humans into actual livestock, he had intentions to build a society as well as use diplomats to get the Imperium to surrender

The fact that the Beast did the act of making humans into livestock tells me that the surrender thing will just lead to more humans becoming livestock.
Orks don't have empathy.

Say, ever read Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age?
One thing he had noted was that even when the barbarous Picts gained knowledge and connections from the civilised peoples nearby, they were STILL Barbarians
And they ended up mercilesslt slaughtering and conquering said civilised neighbors with newly made iron tools(because flint and bronze are too primitive)

Eldritch Isekai Idea: A being from a higher/eldritch dimension manifests on Earth after a magic ritual gone wrong/right
Instead of demanding human sacrifices and causing madness, it gains an interest in "Otaku/Nerd Shit" and demands from it's only follower/cultist/summoner access to these stuff
Otherwise "He", the "Builder/Mind of Tools of Life-Ending" will sorta slowly "life-end" him
Basically, it's a comedy wherein an eldritch horror drags around his human lackey/sidekick into all manner of stuff, like helping it pretend to be a superhero only to forego the whole "Thou Shalt Not Kill" part too much or think that mutilating and rendering criminals mad with PTSD to be within the limits of said rule
Other Eldritch Abominations apparently call Earth home as well and turns out the only reason it and so many other worlds aren't destroyed is because they don't feel like it or because they enjoy sight seeing

Loads of isekai/ISOT ideas here but very few recommendations. Can we get some?

Here ya go, fortunately, you don’t end up having that uncanny valley “nice guy” protagonist or borderline sociopathic sort of Isekai MC that sounds like some kid beginning to learn english

The only thing I can see is the Amazon Icon, it doesn't even react to clicking on it.
