I keep seeing these types of stories and they are honestly REALLY REALLY redundant and dull. I just wanna see something unique so if anyone got any recommendations, please tell me


What can I say, there's more non isekai stuff on Royalroad that here on SH

I recommend using advanced search so you can block isekai, then sort by rated. I like looking for complete stories myself.

Just exclude the genre in the search filter (Series Finder). Double click it till it turns red.

I'm a fan of Isekai, so if you don't mind, I wanna defend the genre a bit. Isekai is known for playing around with tropes a lot to the point of being cliché, sure, but I think this is more of an execution problem than anything else. There are still plenty of Isekai executed well that the tropes don't feel redundant: Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Slime Tensei, Kumo Desu Ka?, Ascendance of a Bookworm, etc.

If you still find the genre at least a bit fascinating, maybe you should try looking for ones executed well instead. Welp, I'm out of excuse. It's your reading experience, so read what you enjoy~

Isekai Tower Defense is unique, but it is an Isekai sadly

I do not write fanfic or isekai (okay, I have one isekai in the works but it's probably going to give regular isekai readers heart failure given what I've done with it). I have eight finished fantasy novels or serials, one novel underway, and a collection of shorts and novellas. Some are urban, some are other-world, all are LGBT friendly but not generally about the characters being LGBT (not including the shorts collection), and there isn't a harem in sight although there are a few poly trios here and there. Perhaps one of them might be up your alley? https://www.scribblehub.com/profile/57217/prysmcat/

If you do not mind reading stories categorised under the girls love genre on scribblehub, then I would recommend that you read the story known as A Travelling Mage's Almanac. When I first read it, I was really hooked by the way the character went about exploring the world the story takes place in. Give it a read.

I will suggest the story we are currently publishing:


'Parity' is a story set in a world for which a single-word description is 'baroquepunk'. It is a fantasy, but not really, it is science fiction, but not really, yet it is both of these at the same time. We call it 'hard fantasy'.

What it is not is isekai, litRPG or fan fiction of any kind.

Self-promotion warning.

ok you’ve been warned:

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/796071/divine-puppets/

The story is basically about a weird genderless MC that was raised by the personification of loneliness (not as depressing as it sounds, I swear) navigating a world where a variety of deities offer boons for swearing fealty. The deities are preparing to clash, the normal people are ready to be rid of the sorcerer/clerics altogether, and a cult is attempting to cause mass death.

It’s written in a flowery storybook sort of way, very very very differently from isekai (for better or worse).
