Ima do it again ╥﹏╥
While you’re right that most plots are recycled, I’ll do my best to make a list of ones I thought were different of good enough to leave an impression on me. I tried to compile a list that didn’t have mature content in it, but the ones that’s do don’t have very much except for one.
Rofan:
- Turning a Crazy Dog Into a Young Master (light hearted, funny, ongoing)
- All for My Dearest Juliet (regression. angst to sweet. Ongoing)
- What It Means to be You (not for everyone but I personally liked it. Repetitive regressions?i forgot. Angst. Regretful ML. Completed.)
- Stuck in My Sister's Dating Sim (novel transmigration. Yaoi, no smut if I remember correctly. Drama. Completed.)
- A Flowery Path for the Devastated Male Lead (novel. strong FL, pretty ML. light hearted, completed)
- My Husband Hides His Beauty (pretty ML. Drama?lighthearted. Completed)
- I Stole the Heroine’s First Love (game transmigration. There is a white lotus character centered around the plot. System. Drama. Ongoing.)
- My Husband Is Possessed by the Main Character (ML-centric. ML transmigrates from a hunter novel into a romance fantasy. FL is from normal world. Very new, ongoing)
- The Grand Duke's Bride Is a Hellborn Warrior (very, strong FL. I wanna say it’s light angst but someone else might think differently. Also new, ongoing)
- I Will Protect My Tyrant Dad! (Childcare. Very cute artstyle. Strong FL protects her tyrant dad who poses as a gentle father. Ongoing.)
- In The Dog House (smut but not overbearing. Femdom. Revolves around a strong/cute FL and a pretty/deadly puppy ML. Ongoing.)
- BJ villainess (game. system, constellations?. Reverse harem but there is an endgame ML. Ongoing)
- Lucia (smut but the very mild kind that doesn’t completely overtake the plot. Contract marriage. Slow burn. Beautiful and kind FL that changes a playboy ML. Ongoing, but long)
- How to Survive as a Maid in a Horror Game (horror game. Scary ML. A FL who’s trying to survive lol. Ongoing.)
Action:
- The Unorthodox Genius of the House of Darkness (medieval. Regression, different body. Demonic mc? Ongoing.)
- The Villain's Survival Route (game. Mc trying to survive and change his fate. Calm and calculating MC. Ongoing.)
- All My Alter Egos Are Tycoons (hunter. System. Mc is everywhere his avatars go. They are all basically him. Very interesting. Ongoing.)
- The Ultimate Shut-In (apocalypse. System. Broken skill. Ongoing)
- Hoarding in Hell (hunter. Mc goes back and forth from hell to level up. Asshole Mc, but he’s not a hate-able character. Ongoing)
- Special Civil Servant (amazing art. It’s got its own thing going on. Not hunter or system. But Mc has a special power.)
- The Knight King Who Returned with a God (funny asf. Mc transmigrated into fantasy world then fought demons for millennia, turns out was an S-rank gate and ends up back on earth, but they find him batshit. Ongoing)
- Helmut: The Forsaken Child (I can’t remember what this was about but I remember it being very good lol. Ongoing.)
- The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life (murim heavenly demon reincarnates as a young lord in medieval fantasy. Liked this a lot. Ongoing.)

- I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul (FL-centric. Romance. Hunter. System. Slow burn. Ongoing.)
- Lv.99 Princess of Black Flame (FL-centric. Hunter. System. Going forward in time by a whole generation. Ongoing.)
Honorable mentions:
- On The Way To Meet Mom (very much recommend. Child Mc who travels the world to meet his mom. Beautiful art and amazing storytelling. Completed.)
- Survive Romance (game. From romance game to horror game. Repeated deaths. Angst. Psychological. Romance. Completed)
- The Civil Servant Hunter’s S-Class Resignation Log (FL-centric. romance. Hunter. System. Ongoing)
- Love Interest Zone (yaoi, no smut. Game. Very interesting plot. Drama, light angst. Last time I checked this was almost finished.)
- I will escape from the flower of ordeal (novel. Modern-day villainess. I can’t remember if there’s a system window but there might’ve been. Angst. Drama. Romance. Last time I checked this was ongoing.)
- I Was Mistaken As a Monstrous Genius (showbiz. Actor. System. Nonchalant ML but has a very cute inside personality. Ongoing.)
- Monochrome rumor (yaoi, no smut. Very slowburn. Showbiz, idol. Gangster Mc gets into a car accident and swaps bodies with an idol who is buried deep in angst. Angst. Drama. Ongoing)
- The Daughter of the Elemental King (genderbend FL. Adventurous FL. No romance. Interesting plot. Completed.)
- Devil Returns To School Days (Bullied MC suffered endless trauma for a long time and finally returns but he’s a completely different person now. Evil Mc. Ongoing.)
- I became an evolving space monster (gore. Action. System. Game. Alien. Very different, highly recommend. Ongoing.)

This is my return to romance fantasy after reading repeating plots--the story is GOOD.
Any recommendations?
I read since the villainess reversed the hourglass and been fed up with the genre. Now I read hunters, self development, idols.
I also read isekai but for asian settings.
My fav was something about 'career woman' troupe. Anything about trying to survive in the novels.
What I used to read:
- the reason why raeliana ended up at the duke’s mansion
- doctor elise
- kill the villainess (Tried to leave)
- Obsidian bride (not isekai but used single inferno plot for romance fantasy)
- Penelope (forgot the name, game mode villainess)
- The story with brown hair and golden eyes bold villainess (Melissa?) and blue wolf
- The self h@rm blondes and black flag obsessive black hairs (yes, been there)
- The reverse harem
I want something new.
Any recommendations for a new plot?
