List of novels where the MC turns into a MONSTER or an OBJECT in another world.

No slow/beta protagonists, no slice of life.... more>>

Only novels with a decent number of chapters are included.

If you are looking for game novels, please check out my VRMMORPG novels list.

Worthy mentions from other websites:

1) Mother of learning (10/10)

2) The Menocht Loop (9/10)

3) Azarinth Healer (8.5/10)

4) Nanomancer reborn | The beginning after the end (8/10)

5) He who fights with monsters (7/10)

Also make sure to read "The Perfect Run", it does not match the genre of this list, but it is truly an amazing novel. <<less

No description.

I only read translations and some of these LNs have already started adaptation in manga or anime.... more>>

When it becomes very repetitive I usually leave LN because I'm bored so this ones for the moment are not repetitive, not like "Cut and Paste" etc....

Basically these LNs are being translated and some of them are little known. <<less

Literally what it says.

I mainly like fantasy series and have no beef with isekai. The bottom line for a novel to be listed here is if it's quite... more>> decent in my opinion. Hope this helps with your choice! <<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.

Upd. May 2023: Latest worthy addition: Fushisha no Deshi (Disciple of the Lich). ... more>>

Upd.:  I encountered several novels that blew up my top ranks in 2022.

I have a specific taste for Isekai novels, and I'm able to tolerate many things and sometimes even issues with the plot, world building and flatness of characters. But what I can say about this list you're about to witness, is that I'm positively able to re-read each and every of this novels, given the time.

In some cases, like Wortenia Senki and Hachinan Tte, I read both WN and LN, but I don't think it's needed to bother adding both versions to this list.

P.S.: While the list isn't fully complete, I'm starting slowly to add my biased comments for you to see.

P.P.S.: My memory is good, but I can still miss your favourite novel, if you think I did (I'm mostly talking about Isekai stuff), feel free to leave comment under the List. Most definitely I'll reply and if I didn't miss it for a reason, I'll add it (at least into my reading list, hehe). <<less

I have the list of "no harem harem club" so I thought maybe I should make the harem list to distinguish both of them. As the prior list, I will put all genres (not BL tho) and from all origins. However, I'll put them randomly in their origin list, KR-JP-CN. The mc here ofc is a male.... more>>

Anw, the harem what i mean is one male who become the centers of female attraction. Even though there is no tag harem and his love interest just one girl, when three or more females like/love/want to have him, I will categorize it as harem.  <<less

Typical fantasy/second-chance usually. Was mostly KR, but I start reading more CN stuff. Rarely read romance-centric novels. Don't like specifically harems usu.... more>>

No description=TBD. Review-ish comments. May be slight spoilers but never something like xx dies. Most of the stuff I like/recommend are on the first page. I started getting lazy with updating rankings though.

List includes basically everything I've read before.

Other novels:

Birth of the Demonic Sword (C641)Good for like first 500-600 chapters. After there's a couple time skips, which I don't mind but events also just feel filler/boring. Also kind of feels a bit like a Reverend Insanity rip-off. MC has parts different enough but there's not enough meaningful character interactions (esp. later on)/inner monologue (for philosophical stuff) imo.

Author's POV - 4.5/5; C646; Good series inspired by Novel's Extra. Romance is handled much better imo.

Shadow s*ave- 2/5; Finished Vol 2. Vol1 was good. Vol2 felt like MC only ever interacted with the other MC and the side characters sort of just followed the party along without interacting/much presence. Also just didn't like the logic of vol2 so dropped.

Cultivation Online -3/5; C560; Enjoyable for 3/5 but the MC sort of just keeps levelling up without any impending threat so it feels kind of boring after the initial mystery of the world is lost.

I've reached the list cap so I might start tracking my reading list elsewhere. <<less

No description.

I personally like these series. The novels are ranked in order, from my favourite(#1), going downwards to less favourite(doesn't mean the novels in the lower... more>> part of the list are not good). <<less
