Novels I have read or am reading, which include skills, level/game system and/or reincarnation, basically isekai, or just some kind of similar fantasy setting. The list also includes my score for them and what I thought about them which might include slight spoilers (sorry), some novel 'reviews' are shorter either because I've forgotten about them or just didn't have a lot to say about them. Mostly Korean and a few Japanese novels, I haven't and don't plan on reading any Chinese novels, i honestly can't understand the cultivation and divinity thing most of their novels have so i tend to avoid them, and I avoid slice of life novels like the plague. The list isn't... more>> in any particular order, the ones near the end are the ones I've read most recently. I will update this list and add novels I like and find worth reading every time I discover one. Unfortunately, there is a limit of a hundred novels per list on this site so if you want more recommendations, you can go to part 1 of my journey through isekai-esque novels!

My favourite novels that I can't seem to get enough of.

I intended to make this list to compile novels I liked that has Strong Female Leads but I also like Powerful Male Leads so added that as well hehe.... more>>

By Strong Female Lead, I don't mean what most thought of, like the MC having advantages since she knows the plot of the story reincarnated in, that's not strong that just her being in the lead since she know what's gonna happen. By strong I mean, either physically or mentally strong. A pretty vague answer but in short here are novels with Main Characters that I deem strong.
Beware that I prioritize the characters here rather than the plots so you may agree or disagree with my selection, but otherwise, these are all just suggestions for people who doesn't know what to read next.

Characters ; 10 - unique, has their own personalities | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but decent nonetheless | 5 to 7 - a character on their own, make sense but also doesn't, not so detailed or well written.

Plot ; 10 - unique and interesting | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but tolerable enough to read | 5 to 7 - written solely for the main characters to shine, not so detailed or well written. <<less

you'll get QT, World hopping, Transmigration, Rebirth, second-chance, and Fluff!!!- eat em up darlings!

Novels that have a decent MC involved in either Apocalypse-Setting, Fighting against Monster and or within Dungeon. No Harem allow in this list. BL are Okay :D ... more>>

Tags Includes: Gate to Another World, Parallel Worlds, Fantasy World, World Hopping/Quick Transmigration, Monsters, Dungeons, Apocalypse, OP-Protagonist, Martial Arts, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Supernatural, Seinen, Action, Adventurer, Comedy, Slice-of-Life,  <<less

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

Spoiler-free reviews in the description.

This is the list of novels that I've read and I think suit my tastes. ... more>>

You'll probably like it too if you and I have the same taste or something. 

Well some are kinda annoying tho.. 

Notes: no wuxia, xianxia, xuanhuan and other cn stuff, no offense man but cn novel is just not for me. Also there are some yaoi and yuri as well as some erot*c stuff.  <<less

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

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

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.
