This list is specifically for second chances/age regression in fantasy, historical or VRMMO settings. 
- Not transmigration stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16246/)
- Not time loop stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/)
- Not second chances in modern society (see:  https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10745/)... more>>

I'll start with a big recommendation for:
1. Metaworld chronicles - wonderful series with well developed characters, magic, monsters and dragons, all set to a really well explored alternate modern Earth fuelled by magi-tech. It's the best in the genre and you should try it out!
2. Selena's Reign - only around 20 chapters out so far, but they're really well done. Beautiful descriptions (though sometimes a bit verbose) and the best depictions of a late 18th century setting that I've seen in an online fantasy. Read this for the magical second chance messiah in a gritty, Louis XIV->Napoleon type time frame world.
3. The Calamity of a Reborn Witch - more of a shoujo take on things, it's filled with political plots and conspiracies of a cinderella type heroine in a rather dark fantasy world
4. Forgotten Conqueror (this was on hiatus for a long time but restarted on the author's site) <<less

These are all the European fantasy BL I've read. Some of it it's pure fantasy and some of it is video game based. Like they isekaied into a video game or it's a virtual reality thing. I'll give them a 1-10 rating as well, but this is just my personal feelings. A lot of these are absolute tr*sh. XD And some have unfortunately been abandoned for a long time by their translators. Read at your own risk.... more>>

Now these are just the ones I've read/started to read. There's plenty more I haven't gotten around to or I'm waiting to see if they'll actually be completed before starting. But feel free to leave some more down in the comments!

Spicy levels: these are how much explicit material to expect.

0: no explicit material and not even a reference to doing the deed

Mild: may be some intense kissing or implied s*x, but usually it's a fade to black deal

Medium: they do the deed, but it may not be too explicitly described or not happen that often

Hot!: much sex 

Very very hot!: pure smut, even ranging into hentai, read at your own risk. <<less
