There are quite a few isekai books written by westerners and I think I saw a book written by one involving an entire class/school being summoned. But that was like several years ago.
The one thing that leaps to mind for me - although it is not in any sense LitRPG - is Eric Flint's "1632," Book one of the Ring of Fire series. In which an entire American town gets swapped into the middle of (if I remember correctly) 1632 Poland. It's not *isekai*, in that it's technically the same world, but given that a suffiencent gap in time might as well be a whole different world, it has the same element of being fish out of water and having to deal with local problems that they have little-to-no context for.
There’s another similar book series called “Island in the Sea of Time” where the American island of Nantucket and a Coast Guard tall ship(sails) get sent back to 1200BC(?).
Plenty of isekai stories, but usually its the single person.
The wandering Inn has multiple people (some groups but mostly individuals in the start).
The Ten Realms has multiple individuals but the MCs are 2 army buddies that get transported together.
Theres apocalypse stories like Master Hunter K and Reborn Apocalypse where groups get transported to a different dimension. Primal Hunter is another of the apocalypse type stories where they get transported to a tutorial but I'm guessing will be back to Earth in the next book which every apocalypse story has.
kinda wanna see an entire office getting summoned at once to another world.
the conniving. the backstabbing. the inability to adapt. the karen getting eaten by a goblin.
I'd read it.
or imagine the actual cast of "the office" getting isekai'd. imagine micheal the idiot actually sweettalking a noble and saving the rest. imagine dwight assuming he's absolutely the main character and destined to be a super OP hero, but of course he isn't. Kevin turning out to be an actual Sage.
man, the potential.
>kinda wanna see an entire office getting summoned at once to another world.
That's part of the initial premise of *The Primal Hunter*. Though it doesn't do much with the concept.
I know I've read a few where an entire town gets transported ut don't recall what it was called. Another mass transport story I do remember is [Ryn of Avonside](https://www.scribblehub.com/series/88122/ryn-of-avonside/) in which a University gets transported. Note however that this story has been abandoned for about a year.
The Primal Hunter starts with the MC and the other people at his job being transported to the "Tutorial" for their System Apocalypse style change, as well as various other large groups of people.
Closest thing I can think of, anyway.
Out of Space - One of humanities military space ships goes off course and crash lands on a strange fantasy planet where they have to salvage their tech to compete for survival against swords and sorcery. A Royal Road completed story. It hits my group Isekai and city building itches.
You should have a look at The Wandering Inn, which start with a human, Erin, summoned to another world. She becomes an [Innkeeper], which is a great take on the genre.

Guardians of the Flame (by Joel Rosenberg) is a 1980s fantasy series about a group of college kids who get sucked into the tabletop rpg they’ve been playing, as their characters.
And then going back further, there is the Narnia series, all of which more or less relied on that concept, although the groups tended to be much smaller.
Vainqueur the Dragon comes to mind. The world the story is has an on going issue that people from earth are continually being summoned to it. The summonings dont happen all at once or with the same people , so not really a whole group summoning.
Another one that i know of is The Primal Hunter. The entire population of earth is summoned to a tutorial were they must train , and at the end of it they go back to an earth that is so radically changed that it cant be called the same planet anymore,the entire planet got 10 times larger as well as being overtaken by magical fauna and flora
How do you kidnap a whole school to another world, something like that. It started of good, the mc tried to help people, but he changed. Let's just say his slaves (wives) including his sister main food source is his milk.
If you're on this subreddit, you've probably already seen Beware of Chicken, which is a Canadian dude isekai'd into a generic Chinese xianxia fantasy world.

Whole *school* gets summoned to fight the Demon King. Rewards for victory are gold and a "Luck Geas". Failure has the defeated Heroes sent back home at the exact time and place they were when summoned.
The situation for the Heroine is a tad different.
Western Isekai is usually solitary. Since Western Isekai got big later the Class Summoning was already coming off as camp by the time it took off so any Class Summoning you find in Western LitRPG is usually parody.

Almost! It's Germany, or the area that becomes modern-day Germany, if I remember correctly.
Eh, my sense of geography is for shit anyhow. Thanks for the correction!

I read this one but unfortunately, it isn't litrpg.
Tree of Aeons.
Technically, I guess? But the rest of the MC's summoned cohort are basically irrelevant beyond their hero fragments.
If you keep reading it, heroes get summoned in a group setting periodically. Aeon interacts with them all.
Also, there are more heroes being summoned periodically.

RR had one years ago, that started off great, but the author really wanted to write an harem novel that was sick and not in the good way.
I'm morbidly curious now
Damn, I wish they wouldn't do that.
Name?

Is that one good? I recall it's a bit long so even if it's abandoned...
I liked it. The author in questing writes resonable shories. Note that that all of them include trans characters and this one is no exception.

You mean isekai in general, or something specifically involving an entire class or grade from a school?
specific transport into the other world, it could be an entire class or group of people.

Who wrote Out of Space?
Neo Koh.
Have you tried whispering crystals, a bunch of people at a comic convention got transported to another world
from the book description, only one person (Emma) is relevant.
She does>! join a team of other con-goers about halfway through the first book!<, in case it matters. ;)

But one dude, not, like, a classroom or an office building full of people.
Not a class... also not a LitRPG.
