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

Reincarnation took a turn for the strange: becoming a rock became a dream that some dared to dream. This is actually more a N. American genre:... more>>

3. Dungeon heart
4. There is no epic loot here, only puns
5. Dungeon Life
6. The Dungeon Child
7. Gaia awakens
8. Bone dungeon (published)
9. Slime dungeon (published)
10. The Obsidian Core (discontinued)
11. Dungeon robotics (sci-fi)
12. Futuristic dungeon core (published; also sci-fi)
13. Station core (published; also sci-fi)
14. Dungeon Core Online
15. Dungeon hive (published)
16. Dungeon lord (published)
17. Core of fear (published)
18. Ancient ruins (published; s*avery, mind break, read at your own peril)
19. Dungeon deposed (published; harem dungeon)
20. Rogue dungeon (published; only barely counts as dungeon core)
21. Cultivating dungeon (discontinued; fuses dungeon core with xianxia cultivation concepts)

Looking for novels with good development and pace.... more>>

None of that braindead MCs, copy-pasted scenarios over and over, or slow paced stories that drags on forever. 

Inspired by novels like Solo Leveling which got me into this genre. 

List will be updated as I read more. Do comment recommendations if you have any. Completed novel preferred. 

Nov 2020: Currently reading the novels on Kindle Oasis, great PDFs collated by traitorAIZEN (on vn-meido).  <<less

It's yuri, what else do you need to know? Most of it's isekai stuff but some aren't. Some of them have Yuri as the main... more>> focus or Yuri happens to come up once in a while. Very few of these stories have male love interests but when there are, it's usually a bis*xual harem. The list isn't in any particular order. Most of these are pretty good but a few of the one shots are a bit weird. Feel free to comment suggestions for other Yuri novels! If you like reading Royalroad stories, you can check out my profile over there where I've put a bunch of stories that have Yuri in them in my Favourite Section.  https://www.royalroad.com/profile/120696 <<less

This is a mix of genres that I've read and absolutely loved.

No description.

(Actively updated.) When I first started reading on NU, I wished that there was a rec list with long descriptions of the novels so I knew what I'm getting myself into instead of having to check the synopsis of each individual novel. Couldn't find any, so I created one. Here it is. Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience.... more>>

Disclaimer; my "reviews" are my own personal, biased opinions. I'm terrible at being systematic & putting my thoughts into effective sentences, so 90% of the novel descriptions in here are just me rambling. I usually only drop & rate novels after I've read at least until c.35. Also, I like to change my ratings & reviews sporadically. Feel free to suggest more novels and/or argue with me.

[5/5] - Truck-kun would shed real man tears at these masterpieces.

Below [4.4/5] - Truck-kun would shed tears of a disappointed Asian parent.

[3/5] - Truck-kun would hit them (again), maybe then they'll transmigrate and become a better story. Replaceable at any time.

("|| STATUS: [ ]" is my reading status as of typing the novel's description.) <<less

No description.

This is a compilation of novels with MCs who received a second shot in life (either gets transferred to another world and/or relives the past) that I find quite interesting among others. I'm putting some notes for each novel too (summary of the plot and a short review). The novels are ranked according to my personal tastes also.... more>>

PS. I'm putting a non-spoiler summary of the plot because when I read others' recommendations list, it's annoying to have to go to every novel's page just to read the description and decide if I like the plot or not lol. Also, in giving a short review, it's helpful to provide the plot as sort of an evidence why I liked the novel and put it in this list. <<less

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

Part 1 has more than 100 chapters or finished

Isekai novels where the MC is not the person from another world. Mostly otome game worlds.

The list of Japanese Novels I have read over 2 years. Wish fulfillment and not. I post ones that I like a lot, or deem good enough to recommend to other people. 
This list contains only good novels that I've read up to the latest chapter available on NU or further(raws), there are ton of novels that i can recommend but I haven't finished them, yet.

Please point out errors in text, since English is not my native language. <<less

The isekai here is pointed to another world, but not only to the usual Jpn isekai with reincarnation/rebirth/transmigrate MC. It can be the world that's totally not in the earth, and maybe it's not a reincarnation/transmigration and MC is from that world. ... more>>

My ideal isekai novel is the one with the world building as its central theme and the romance is non existent, even if there's romance element in it, usually it's slow and just as unnecessary side dish.

NO HAREM for me. Tho few of them has harem and romance tags, for me there are those that are not romance and harem, so I'll explain in related description instead.
