Isekai-esque fun times part 2
Isekai-esque fun times part 2
Novels I have read or am reading, which include skills, level/game system and/or reincarnation, basically isekai, or just some kind of similar fantasy setting. The list also includes my score for them and what I thought about them which might include slight spoilers (sorry), some novel 'reviews' are shorter either because I've forgotten about them or just didn't have a lot to say about them. Mostly Korean and a few Japanese novels, I haven't and don't plan on reading any Chinese novels, i honestly can't understand the cultivation and divinity thing most of their novels have so i tend to avoid them, and I avoid slice of life novels like the plague. The list isn't in any particular order, the ones near the end are the ones I've read most recently. I will update this list and add novels I like and find worth reading every time I discover one. Unfortunately, there is a limit of a hundred novels per list on this site so if you want more recommendations, you can go to part 1 of my journey through isekai-esque novels!

3.5/5 I'm kind of conflicted on this one. I love the game and magic system and the progression and growth of the main character, it feels very thought out and engaging. The setting is cool and interesting and I do enjoy the core pacing of the story and many scenes are very emotional, and I really like the side characters a lot especially the heroines.... more>>

3/5 I can only describe this as mediocre. There is nothing to get upset about in this, but nothing to get excited about neither. It's a pretty modern/realistic approach to the virtual reality genre, but I just didn't find anything to get hyped over. The story is pretty much nonexistent, there isn't any real motivation, difficulty nor trials to overcome, just a random string of events we see like we're just watching a successful pro gamer's highlight reel of him having fun and be good in a game. The combat is lackluster, most of the time it feels like the author is just throwing out random fighting or gaming terms to make it seem more... more>>

0.5/5 This is straight up pretty damn bad. I've now read 2 works from this author(the 100 cheat skill one which I didn't even bother adding to my lists) and both of them are basically just the same shit. A very dense main character that basically just enters minecraft creative mode and is basically a god that goes on 'adventures'. The premise of being an unstoppable undead behind this novel is interesting for perhaps a psychological type novel but the comedy that this novel focuses on is awful. Every character that isn't important pisses and shits their pants and act like sheep without even being able to form their own thoughts and SCREAM LIKE THIS... more>>

3.5/5 A cute and somewhat unique story. Obviously more romance focused with almost zero action but I really enjoy the worldbuilding and the ways the main character influences the world with his writing, If you don't mind some of the h**nyness I recommend checking it out. I have some personal issues with how some seemingly huge revelations are handled poorly and the pace of some of the relationships just seems a bit too spontaneous/unnatural/forced but overall I found this to be very enjoyable.... more>>

4.5/5 Very unexpectedly good. The premise is hilarious and the story is great, can be amusing at some points while genuinely gut-wrenching at others. The main character is a chad and the side characters are compelling. Really the most noticeably weird thing about this novel are some of the s*x scenes, most of them honestly just don't fit in at all, until we got our first one a few hours into reading it I honestly had forgotten this was an 'adult' novel, the story and everything else can actually stand tall without them, it just feel like I started accidentally reading a cheap hentai out of nowhere as they barely have any significance to the... more>>

@Chikyuu Sorry for the late reply but yeah, some of my ratings are perhaps inaccurate/outdated as of now since translators change, issues are fixed or made worse etc. which is unfortunate but all my reviews and score is based on my experience and subjective opinion. After I add something I rarely touch it again, this has been a personal project of mine for a couple years now and after all I forget stuff/lose interest/move on, but I'm glad you liked the list and thank you for the reply, it means a lot!
