I found the description of Westcott's Beelzebub abilities rather brief. https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Isaac_Westcott
Specifically, it is as follows :
BFR (One of Beelzebub's abilities, he is able to instantaneously trap the opponents in fictional worlds based on true stories, preventing them to to use any powers or abilities)

Thực ra, thế giới của Beelzebub không hoàn toàn là một thế giới hư cấu, mà đúng hơn, như Nia mô tả, là một thực tại tương tự như Khu phố của các linh hồn – một không gian độc lập với thực tại, được hình thành từ những giấc mơ và câu chuyện.

And, those targeted into this world will blend in and become part of the story

And now we need to look at the definition of plot manipulation.
Plot Manipulation is the ability to create, destroy, or control the plot that governs reality. Commonly found in metafictional stories, the plot can be understood as a fundamental aspect of reality once one views that reality as fictional. It is the description of the world that doesn't only describe, but determines, reality itself

Based on my scans, I think Beelzebub's ability isn't just ordinary BFR, but rather a form of plot manipulation( limited) ? And the Beelzebub user ( Westcott, Mio,Nia ) will have this feat 🤔
 
This is not Plot Manipulation in any sense. Plot Manipulation is the ability to directly alter, control, or influence the narrative itself. Simply transferring spirits to a world populated by fairy tales does not qualify.

At no point is he shown manipulating the story, its events, or the narrative. He also isn’t controlling the fairy tales within Ashufiriya; he’s merely sending the spirits to a parallel world which imitates the real fairytale. Even in the scan you provided, states it’s all from imagination and says it’s an adjacent world, thus it’s not the real thing.
 
This sounds exactly like Mitsuki and Tom Taylor abilities which are Subjective Reality and BFR together
