There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

This list is full of novels with male mcs BG and mostly about travelling to different worlds to grant wishes, or protect people or children from scum or simply live their lives the way they want. All of them are great and unique, I love all of them!!! <<less

Mostly romance. A little bit of action

After reading so many different BL novels, I decided to make a separate list for the ones which stories, characters or relationship dynamics and their portrayal touched my heart the most.... more>>

These are the stories with a a little of bittersweet taste, with mature and colourful characters, healthy relationships and seggs life :3

Still 1v1, HE, a little mix of genres for spice (mostly in modern setting) <<less

Novels on my reading lists where MC becomes rich by doing business, often because they know the future through rebirth or because of a Magical Space.

Modern day setting

No description.

Basically just any novels that involves the public audience/spectators (as in e-sports, livestreams, acting/singing/voice acting/modelling/famous business or wealthy families etc.) I’ll also add notes soon

In BL stories set in modern times, gongs are almost always business tycoons. Well, here's a list of shou MCs who are focused on building their own business empires. In these stories, romance is present but may not be the primary focus compared to MC's financial wheeling and dealing. ... more>>
