MCs with magical space with other functions not just a simple storage space

BL novel with metaphysic and cultivation in modern time.

Works that I've read and recommend for interesting moments or examples of worldbuilding in their chosen setting, mostly fantasy or xianxia. How do people live and do work there? How does magic shape society, politics, logistics and the environment? What are the consequences that magic and users of it have on the world around them?... more>>

I'll be adding to it as I continue to read. <<less

Novels that recreate modern technologies in magical worlds. These novels may use magic to recreate technology or introduce technology into a magical world.

These tend to draw heavily on European and religious/magical themes. Not all of the novels in this list draw on these themes, however. It’s really just fantasy stuff in general. ... more>>

For example, MC reincarnates/transmigrates into a medieval Europe inspired setting, with the whole dragons-knights-savior shebang. Another example is a setting with elves, dwarfs, vampires, etc. You get the gist. <<less

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

Tired on going against the heaven?... more>>

Tired offending people and be chased around like dogs till you have to jump into a cliff?

Tired of 50+ training chapter and another 100+ chapter of training sessions?

Go read the novel below!

Adventure Comedy, the MC may not be necessarily OP but there are no part of the story that MC felt powerless or struggle in despair. No repetitive xianxia trope (at least not that much) <<less
