There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

I thought how about list all novel without harem that is good for reading in the free time, then here I was, make it. Basically I put ALL GENRES in one list, BUT they don't have harem tag. Ah, ofc the mc is male. And unlike the other lists, I don't arrange the novels based on its stars. But at least, I put them according their origin (kr-cn-jp) ... more>>

If anyhow you guys found a title with harem inside and I put it here, please tell me. Thank you! <<less

- Modern-day setting (90s timeframe might be included on some)... more>>

- Earth set up. No alternate reality stuff but special ability/time travel/reborn are included.

- Mainly focuses on business and/or stock market genre or at least a big part of the novel does

- Shows the journey of our MC on accumulating his wealth

Note: I've just noticed that the MCs for the novels below are all male. I'll try to create a list like this but with female MC. (Hopefully). The below list is not by rank which means that the #1 may or may not be my top fave.  <<less

if you're looking at this list then you're probably tired of seeing the same novels over and over again.... more>>

Well then here are some good novels that you might not have seen yet.

NO PARTICULAR ORDER <<less

Primarily Career/Shop/Kingdom Development, but there also could be some novels that I like. Most of these novels do not have romance or harem tag as I am not a big fan of these in novels that aren't primarily written as romance.... more>>

I now have a part 2! <<less

No description.

These novels don't have too much excitement, but they are fun in their own ways. ... more>>

Note: a lot will have some fantasy elements (being reborn, getting second chances or having systems). 

Note 2: the list is in no particular order.

Note 3: I only add novels that I personally read and enjoyed. If there are sugestions for more novels, do remind me in the comment section. Each novel has to have at least enough chapters to be able to enjoy reading it for one evening. <<less

The ones that I think do not focus on romance but in self-improvement or just ruling the world.

hope you find one that will too .
