World Travel (NOT Shoujo, Josei or any of that crap)

World Travel (NOT Shoujo, Josei or any of that crap)
Basically where the MC travels between worlds/planes with different species, civilizations and the like. More importantly the worlds have different species, cultures and paths to power. These novels commonly have a stat system but its just a coincidence.
So I'm not including those with 'tiered worlds' like Reincarnator where it is a different realm but literally everything else is the same because then we'd just end up with all of Xianxia.

It's about a man who travels through movie worlds. You don't really need to know that many pop culture references so it's readable for everyone.

    I'd love to find more of these so please do reply if you've found more. Searching by tags just ends up with a deluge of Shoujo, Josei, Yaoi, Shounen Ai and all. I suppose this is a trend in those genres

      Would the log of the crazy litch fit here? He visits the elemental planes, the underworld, and the abyss... it also has stat systems and no tiered world. Plus why is Adepts no.2 i read Warlock and found Adepts flow and plot better... alas the end is not yet translated but i think it will be one of the fading open endings which should be better then no ending.

      @John34404 I haven't read the Lich one but I'll check it out! As for AoA, I actually agree that it's better than WMW in some ways. However the ending is really, really awful. I'll put Dragonil20's comment on the ending which I found on the NU forums down below

      [SPOILER]

      age of adepts has ended at 1532. ended with the most rushed ending ever. Greem as 5 grade adept, settling in fire element plane made a deal with a remnant soul of a 8 grade fire elemental monarch Luis, 2 god crystal for 20 berries that improve spiritual force so he can become 6 grade adept. Ended up being tricked by Luis who is working with the 7 th grade destiny sorcerer and got his body possessed but at the last moment greem broke up his soul and hid the fragments in his body. While Luis is busy experimenting with his new body and killing the artifact spirit of book of plague, the titan who originally killed Luis soul and broke it to fragments appeared again and intend to finally end Luis, forcing luis to escape to abyss. Turns out Alice apprentice sacrificed her daughter of destiny title to give greem a small chance of survival and....................... END

      So yeah, MC just f*ckin dies midway through his journey. That's why  WMW is above Age of adepts

      [/SPOILER]

      @CaptainButtshark was hoping AoA could be as good as WMW but sigh.

      Wizarding immortal, basically another Warlock copy even with similar plot points, but different paths of power that somehow blend together nicely.  Only mtl tho.

    Since you have 'The Ultimate Evolution'; 'Terror Infinity', 'Devils Cage', 'Infinity armament', 'Reincarnation Paradise' and maybe 'Master Hunter k' should fit as well (I think there is also one or two with anime worlds). However, they are usually considered part of the 'infinity' genre and i am not sure they should be counted.

    What can be counted is '48 hours a day', 'Death Notice' (sadly it seems to be dropped).

    Maybe also, albeit less likely than the ones above:

    'The city of terror' albeit its the same world he goes to each time, this is only clear after well into the book and each location and time he enters, its different due to the peoples thoughts being different.

    Mechanical God Emperor, albeit so far MC has only been in one world, we already know, that there are other worlds in the multiverse (similar to AoA)

      Oh God that's a lot of recs. I'll be sure to go through them and add some. 

      Master Hunter K I've actually read but it doesn't really fit does it? It's not just about ascending to different realms, it's also about each of them having a different culture and path to power.

      In Master Hunter K, he goes through these levels but each of them is based on that single world. Sure there's different monsters and all but the path to powers the same, defeat monster -> increase stat point.

      I'll add terror infinity since it's basically just a shitty clone of Ultimate Evolution iirc.

      Even though most of the novels I've put here have stat points, that's actually a coincidence. The main point is different worlds with different paths to power

      @CaptainButtshark

      >Master Hunter K I've actually read but it doesn't really fit does it?

      that is why i put a 'maybe' in front of it. Since its a slight adaption from the infinity genre.

      >I'll add terror infinity since it's basically just a shitty clone of Ultimate Evolution iirc.

      technically 'terror infinity' is a predecessor of 'ultimate evolution' so it can hardly be a clone. if you mean that they are basically the same in what is happening. yes, that is because they are both from the 'infinity' genre. as the name should suggest, it was 'terror infinity' that actually spawned that genre. the other ones after, are also all infinity genre with all their own strenght and weaknesses. that being said, i am still not sure they should count as worldhopping anyway.

      that all now being said, there have been new additions to the worldhopping genre proper. 'soul of negary' is one arguably 'custom made demon king' is one, albeit the powers in that one seem to be the same despite him going from Heroes of might and magic to the devil may cry world, so this might be against your definition.

    If you like this genre you must add way of the devil and nighmare's call. Way of the devil is the must read if you are fellow man of culture.
