Isekai Worth Reading

Time Travel

TW: Incest (not blood-related)
Protag goes back to her childhood. She's brought into the family as a replacement for their dead daughter. The other kids resent her because ...their sister fucking died and the parents dote on her a lot. This is an angsty read. But well worth it. A+ characterization.

FL: Normal type.
ML: Stoic, self-sacrificing type.
Plot:

BL
Isekai-ish

Mob character realizes he's living in a BL world.
He's pretty happy being a mob character and tries his best to avoid any situation that may trigger a BL event.

A super funny poke at standard BL tropes.

MC: Lazy/Easygoing type
LI: (tbc)
Plot: defies rating. Is crack.

Time Travel

Protag was married off to an old man at a young age. Old man died and left her with the kids. Ill-prepared for motherhood, she rejected the children. She dies and goes back in time for a second chance to be a mother.

What I like the most is that fl wasn't a bad person in her first life. She was just too young.

FL: Caregiver type
ML: (tbc)
Plot:

GL

Protag isekai'd into an otome. But, screw the designated love interests. She's crazy about the villainess!

Funny and cute. The MC is open and batshit about her bias and the poor villainess just has to survive the onslaught of affection.

MC: Masochistic type
LI: Bully type
Plot:

GL

Princess has no magic in a magic world. Remembers her past life and decides to find a scientific way of approaching magic. The LI gets dumped publicly by the prince ala villainess trope. So the princess kidnaps her as an assistant.

If you're looking for a fast-paced romance, give this a miss. It's fun, but has at least some meat to it.

MC: Wild/Respectful type
LI: Cute/Damaged type
Plot:

Girl gets sucked into an otome as the villainess. In order to ensure her survival, she decides to capture the heart of the final boss - the demon king.

This is a short, but not too short read. It's lighthearted with a cute fl and ml and a nice plot that isn't too generic.

FL: Straightforward type
ML: Soft type
Plot:

Girl gets isekai'd into a princess abandoned due to severe autism by the God of Beauty with a mission to spread the religion and make the world beautiful. Funny with a good fl.

For me, this didn't hold my attention enough to keep going. But if you're looking for a manga like Cheating Men Must Die, where you can pick it up and put it down, this is a good one.

FL: Practical/Strong type
ML: Devoted type
Plot:

BL

'Straight' protag gets sucked into an otome via dropping his phone in the toilet.

Funny with stereotypical li's. The oresama who just picks up random people to be his concubines, the assassin who's too cowardly to kill anyone, the knight character who flirts with everyone.

Flip between mangadex and mango if it feels like pages are missing.

ML: Normal type
LI : (tbc)
Plot:

Girl gets sucked into another world through Saintess Summoning Thingy along with her hated, narcissistic, inconsiderate 'friend'. Friend gets saintessed and fl gets dumped in the forest to die. Eventually ends up transformed into a cat and at the dragon king's palace.

Funny manga. Uncomplicated. Little depth.

Fl: Normal (Lazy?) type
Ml: Doting type
Plot:

Gender Bender.
Scientist uses tech she invented to go into the world of a book she wrote. The tech freaks and she gets stuck there.

The protag is pretty funny, and the plot was interesting until her return arc. It's good in many ways, but I have to put this as one that would have been better if it just went full BL. Having it gender bender made the homophobia grate for me. It isn't for me, but it's worth reading.

FL: Funny type
ML: Respectful type
