[05] I became a monster?!
[05] I became a monster?!
Now a classic sub-genre of the Isekai genre, getting transformed into a monster is often accompanied by game elements or ability to evolve...
So many outside NU:
1. The Iron Teeth - goblin - by far the best - goblin MC is not reincarnated...
2. Realm of Monsters
3. Journey of Black and Red - vampire
4. A Dragon's Curiosity - dragon/human
5. The Dark Herbalist (Russian) - goblin - VRMMO goblin series
6. Chrysalis - warrior ant fighting for queen and hive
7. Threadbare - teddy bear
8. Queen in the mud - salamander with cute magic and city building
9. Demon's virtue - an imp
10. Life reset - yet another goblin - VRMMO like Dark Herbalist
11. I don't want to be the hive queen - Vex (humanoid/ant/zerg?) - [have not read yet]
12. Fork this life - fork [have not read yet]
13. Lament of the fallen - chimeric demon/kitsune/angel - [have not yet read]
14. Vainqueur the dragon - dragon - comedy
15. Parasite king - parasite (not reincarnation)
16. Archaic princess - zerg
17. Everybody loves large chests - mimic
18. Is that a wisp - wisp
19. Tree of aeons - tree - good premise, inconsistent mechanics and lots of plot armour
20. The snake report - snake
Classic: Metamorphosis (Kafka) - bug (cockroach?)
If you like this type of story, you might also like Reincarnated as a Dungeon Core novels. You can check my other list if you want to see some of those.

Something to correct, “The Wandering Inn” is not a “reincarnated as a monster” story; it’s about a girl who is teleported to another world, where she becomes an innkeeper. She calls her inn “The Wandering Inn” because she herself has wandered to another world, and has all sorts of customers throughout the story, from monsters to humans and anything in between.
Ie. it’s an “I became an innkeeper in another world” story, not an “I became an inn” story.
Ah! My bad...
Thanks Underla5nd! I'll move that to a more appropriate list.
try some webnovels as well
tree of aeons
archaic princess
parasite king
by far my favos
Thanks for the rec and correction.
I actually seem to have read part of Demon Noble Girl long ago, since I gave it a rating and put it on my reading list but I don't remember it much at all. I'll have to dig it up and give it another read.
About non NU novels, there’s “beast cultivation system”, xianxia magical beast (dragon) FMC.
Starts awesome, invert to a ret*rd yuri appealing mature content after the secret realm arc (almost like the author was substituted), and is dropped at ch 75 more or less.
Still, fits the list.
Btw, if you have anything in this style (that keep a minimum quality) gimme a tip plz!
Thanks for leaving a comment and more series that fit this genre! Err, but it doesn't sound like you're strongly recommending it, so now I'm wondering whether to include it or not. The reviews on the RRL page for it are also quite mixed. Mostly liking the idea but criticising the writing style, it seems... Hope you don't mind I leave that one off the list, but hopefully people who are still looking for moar will come down and read the comments!
You know where to find me! I'll definitely keep updating this list as I find more novels in the genre! Wish I knew some more too... I'm sure a budding author out there has just started one as I type my comment!
tall rice where u been, u never replied to my last comment u dumpling Anyways awesome list for inhuman stuff, you mind if I add those to my list as well? wel ill be doing it anyways just giving u a headsup
Christalis is gods gift to mankind
Go ahead! Worker ants work as a colony! (cough, the credits in your descriptions are appreciated, of course, thanks!)
