Novels where the MC is reincarnated/ transmigrated/possessed/transported into a Dating Sim/Novel/Game world as a character or something similar to that.... more>>

I said that, but some of the MCs can actually be the original inhabitant of that world (not reincarnated/transmigrated/possessed).

Tell me if i put the wrong novels in this list, since i don't remember all of the details of these novels/ i haven't read some of them. You can also suggest other novels that might fit this list too.

Sorry for the bad English.
This is a non-harem and non-BL list, since i'm not really interested in those genres. <<less

Isekais are fun reads when done right, cringey when generic, and horrible when done wrong.... more>>

Sorted from Best to Worst with the ratings being pretty biased.

Honorable Mentions: The Beginning after the End (NOT ON NU) {4.35/5} It's cool, that's all I can really say.

THE LIST NOW HAS A SECOND PART IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8455/ <<less

Stories with a villainess or aristocracy focus. European setting.... more>>

Part 1 has more than 100 chapters or finished

Part 2 has 60-99

Part 3 has 30-59

Part 4 has 11-29

Part 5 has 10 or less chapters <<less

Whether the MC is trying to change his ways or trying to play the part, the role he's been cast as is the villain!
There may be a few relating to this topic but not specifically the Mc being the villain but that's only if the plot particularly stands out. So for the most part its hopefully just going to be mainly a villain mc.... more>>

Ill try my best to label the ones that don't have the MC as a villain

(The number of times I've written "villain" slightly exceeded my expectations, not by a lot, but still, more than I had in mind) <<less

After reading like dozens, maybe even hundreds of isekai(more like fantasy), these are some of the good one that aren't that well known, or at least they got unique theme. Ranging from decent to godly one. If you got reccomendation, please put in the comment (I NEED MORE ISEKAI TO READ, or just magic fantasy stuff in general). And sorry I don't read Manhwa or Manhua stuff.... more>>

The ranking doesn't really matter since some of the better stuff might get pushed down as I add stuff. Though I'll try to keep the better stuff at the top. <<less

I hate harem. Why? Because most of the time it leads the story to a direction that's not pleasing. And most of all I don't... more>> fantasize about having thousands of girl on my lap.  Hell I'm not even interested in romance . Anyway this list contains novels that have zero harem and maybe it will have novels that have romance, but almost all of them are not focused on romance

List of novels I'd like to eventually lead.

Just a list I compiled for my friend to drag her into web/light novel hell. For anyone else, please enjoy!

I really like ✓unique (world building/game rule/setting), ✓logical development, ✓solid plot, ✓all character in the novel have a life of their own that not serve for the purpose of the plot and finally a ✓logical MC. If there are at least two of these qualities, LINNIL APPROVE!!... more>>
