No White Lotuses — Isekai where the OG heroines aren’t bad

So many isekai have white lotuses to the point it’s almost disappointing. So I’m making a list of heroines who don’t suck, coz I like that better. 
There are heroines who aren’t bad people but do get in the way and intentionally act as an obstacle to the MC; I won’t include them here. I mean, they can be bad for legit reasons, but this is a positive space. Yay!

Note: emoji means I’ve read it. Just adding this so you know if I read things but didn’t recommend them. Me not recommending it does not necessarily mean I think it’s bad. Just that I didn’t like it so much that I would recommend it.

Note: As violence and murder are so common in isekai, I will only include them in trigger warnings if they are graphic/intense
