The Definitive Isekai List
The Definitive Isekai List
Isekais are fun reads when done right, cringey when generic, and horrible when done wrong.
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/

S Tier. Lots of tropes, but manages to make it good. Solid semi-dense MC with no common sense of the world he now inhabits.

S Tier. The better RE:Monster. A story that has too much complexity to take in just one day, so I suggest reading it step by step with breaks after each step. Sometimes it fails in its complexity and the other times it absolutely slaps with it. A weak to stronger story.... more>>

Really good list bro, i really need one that gives a lot of free adventure, just going around exploring the world.
Also try to read Kimi to no Saikai Nagai Koto wa Nagai Koto please. It's reincarnated to another world and the translation for it has stopped but i plan to continue the translation for it... Slowly lol
Hi~~~~ love your list!!! XD
Here are some of my favourites that I would love to recommend:
- Running away from the hero (isekaied, there’s the original and the remake, both good, it’s so damn funny)
- The Man Picked Up By God (isekaied, there’s the original and the remake, remake is better, more slice of life like, might be too calm for your taste)
- Tales of The Reincarnated Lord (isekaied, a lot of kingdom and military building, mmm got chopped tho sad)
- Return of the 8th Class Mage (reincarnated, interesting story but translation is quite bad...)
- Kingdom’s Bloodline (isekaied + reincarnated, mmmm how to explain... it’s kinda insane is all I can say)
- Parallel World Pharmacy (isekaied, medical related (duh) XD)
- History’s Strongest Senior Brother (isekaied + reincarnated, a fun read)
- Came Back but the World is Still A Fantasy (isekaied then returned, story starts when he returned, isekai elements are still strong tho)
- Everyone Else is a Returnee (everyone got isekaied except for MC haha, isekai elements are still going strong)
- The Beginning After the End (isekaied, can’t find on NU... not bad tho)
Mmm that’s it for now I guess... but please read tr*sh of the Count’s Family it’s so damn good <3
Ah one more...
- Death Mage That Doesn’t Want A Fourth Time (isekaied, interesting story)
@sol.arin Hmm, it's worth reading at least in my opinion. IDK why you're put off by the spider aspect (unless you're scared of them, I am a bit too) but it's a good read. Sadly there haven't been any new chapters in a long time.
Also, beginning after the end is an English novel, I think.
Here for the sole reason being, The Beginning After The End is included as a honorable mention. Love that novel, comic as well, imo one of the best works I've ever read. Has its quirks, but its still worth it by a large margin.
Great list by the way, why is it separated into two lists? (Is there a limit on how many entries can be on a single list?)
EDIT: Nevermind, found the answer to my question.
Pretty nice list, considering you making this in a rush.
Yes, Arifureta is also the reason I started reading LN. I'll follow your list because of this one.
@memed Ayyyyy arifureta~~ I liked the after story so much more and I fell in love with Lord Aby because of it haha
