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

An actually good escapism isekai that rewards you with feelings either sad or happiness. (note that this list is still unfinished)... more>>

Please leave feedback in the comment if u have a recommendation(im craving for a good isekai... help) or didn't agree with some of the lists. <<less

While this list doesn't contain all the Gender Bender (Male to Female) novels I have read, these are the ones I liked and highly recommend. These are sorted based on the ones I am currently following and looking forward to reading the most, so the ranks are irrelevant to how good the novels actually are.... more>>

P.S. The quality of the translations does affect the rank slightly. <<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
So enjoy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ <<less

Notice the absence of anything other than JP.

Avoid translations by "Estelion's Secret Imouto". <<less

Novels I enjoyed/am planning to read in the future. A lot are in the kingdom building, some otome game, some reincarnation. Novels are generally ranked... more>> by page from favorite to least favorite. <<less

No BL/GL. No Crossdressing.

If you want good novels, then you've come to the right place.... more>>

Though if you are searching for harem novels and cliche titles, then i am afraid that you've come to the wrong place and should probably find another list. I dislike harems, repetitive novels and just bad novels in general. I made this list to invalidate the claims that NU doesn't contain any good novels anymore. I know the vast majority of translated works caters to the harem/anti-hero loving part of the community, but i quite frankly dislike the vast majority of titles in those genres due to how bad they are. As a result, i have created this list to include novels that IMO stand out due the excellent execution in story beats, excellent translations/localization (English primarily) and just have good characters. That's all. <<less

in mythical land fill with mage crafts. what life do they lead?

A list of stories with female protagonist doing their own things. JP novels only.
I always update it as I read something new. If you have recommendation just say it.... more>>

Update: Deleted shoujo novels is heavily focused on romance <<less

I've read a lot of novels from this sites. As more and more novel entered my mind, the old ones will eventually be forgotten. But, theres always some special ones that left lasting impression in my mind. Whether its because of Its strong plot, enjoyable character interaction, emotional attachment towards the character, intriguing world building or simply because its theme is my delicacy. ... more>>

Note: My delicacy is God/Immortal protagonist (not shounen-kind-of god protagonist). Watching the fleeting life of mortals from their perspective always makes me feel melancholy that somehow addicting. Their life reminded me death is also a kind of blessing for us, being the only one left behind is miserable feeling. And that made me cherish every moment in my life, regardless in joy or sorrow. So, if you happen to know novel with said premise but not included in this list, hope you can leave a comment and let me know, thanks! 

No particular order.  <<less

List of novels that i found with no romance and has a female as the main character.... more>>

Anything that has the tag where a romance can happen is not included in list despite not having the romance genre in the genre list, e.g: josei, handsome male lead, late romance, slow romance, anything with love interest, engagement, marriage, r-18, s*xual relationship, romance sub-plot, yaoi/yuri sub-lot, etc. 

This is for the people who are tired of seeing a female protagonist become a s*upid damsel because of romance.

If you don't mind Fanfic or Gender-bent(male to female) types, I'll also be adding them.

I'll be adding more if I found some in the future and I'll be removing some if the author/s add romance in their work.

This type of novels are really hard to find so anyone who knows a one or two can drop it in the comment.

I'll also be adding what i found in other websites like webnovel or scribblehub in the comment section. <<less

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

Essentially, either a weak or strong protagonist has subordinates or people who are all very loyal and protective/possessive of him. Most of them are stronger than the MC. There are mainly male protagonists, but female protagonists are included.... more>>

NO HAREM OR ROMANCE-FOCUSED NOVELS! Contains mainly friendship or comradeship-focused Novels.

Other Novels/Mangas that can't be found on novelupdates: Eleceed (Manhwa), How to Survive as a Terminally-Ill Dragon (Manhwa) <<less

Looks like you've coincidentally stumbled upon this list. Not into Yaoi? (I'm into Yuri) How about Smut? Oh, not h**ny I guess. Maybe the colossal... more>> amount of CN novels is not up to your taste. Well either way, heres the sh*t I signed up for. Good luck! <<less

list of novels that i binge read while in quarantine ... more>>

i used to read novel a lot , never made an account before though. but i usually bookmarked every novel that i read 

there are 150+ novels that i've read from this site, this gonna take a while

i made this list cuz i'm bored and i will rate every novels on this list out of 10 (the rating is subjective) <<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. 

  <<less

No description.

Novels with a female protagonist (including gender-bender male to female) in no particular order.

Originally, I'm going to make it into a combination of novels that I want more people to read, but then I realized most of this... more>> novels are FL, so I decided to make it into a collection of novels I find enjoyable with FL. Lol <<less

The following is a list of the top Japanese gender bender fantasy novels without romance and harem that I have ever read.  Novels with the gender bender genre give a sense of how a man was changed into a girl for certain reasons.  ... more>>

Generally, novels with gender bender will fall into gender identity deviations so that they often fall into deviant genres such as yuri and yaoi.  

However, if the author is sane enough to present plot stories, gender bender novels can be interesting novels because these present the point of view of a man in a girl's body in living his life story without having to be trapped in romance and harem. 

 Therefore, novels with gender bender genre must create conditions in which the MC does not want to be trapped in the deviation of gender identity by engaging in romantic relationships that end in deviation.  

In other words, the MC must be single for life and focus on her life goals. <<less
