In process of updating. Stories missing after the update are either moved to "RPG-Like Part 2" or "Isekai-esque Romance" list.

Game-like premise; traveling to an alternative world, reincarnation, fighting monsters, RPG in real life, etc. 

List 1 contains stories I enjoyed (various level of enjoyment). Ordered from my current number favorite.

A mixture of shounen and bits of Shoujo. Got a few BL there so beware.

As the last reader to stick with an unpopular web novel, MC was provided a copy of the story after it ended. Then suddenly the event of the story came to live.
Amazing story with well though out characters and development. One of my favorite. Heard the novel is just as good but didn't read it yet.

One of my all time favorite RPG/Isekai story. A bit cliche in the plot with very OP MC. But the art and action scenes are amazing. This is a feel good story and very satisfying if you like the MC.

Genre(s): Action / Adventure / Fantasy / Webtoons

A bunch of people are filled into a dungeon game and needs to clear levels. MC ended up with a "crappy" skill and was thought to be dead during a fight against a monster. MC was left alone as the rest of his group progress to the next level. But because he didn't die before the dungeon reset, MC was removed from the rules of the dungeon.
MC use his crafting skills to survive the dungeon. Quite funny.

MC is a wash up wannabe hero, dreaming of fame. One day he find a skill that let him gain a skill if he is killed by the other person, but he would also return 24 hours.
Love the premise and the MC is a solid character. He is not the strongest but he doesn't give up.

Kind of like your typical hunter and dungeon plot BUT with a female MC! She is OP but has character building. She isn't so useless and is actually resourceful.
MC fell into a dungeon and gain a non combatant skill (collecting). From her first dungeon you can tell she is not your typical female MC.

MC wakes up as the side character of the story he wrote. But unlike original plot, this was the edited fan version of the story

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

When you said wizardly tower feels like a mix of the gamer and black haze i strongly agree on the black haze part because it hadn’t updated in YEARS.

Hello again! I'd like to recommend this to you (though I'm not sure it fit this list... At worth it's still a good read I guess? XD ) http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/reminiscence_adonis/ to you,
The story takes place in a fantasy world but not exacty game like.

The heroine is a strong badass woman that died and return to her past and decided to change something (she has a tragic past but the manhwa is currently giving her a better path)

Sskylark July 5, 2018 1:35 am
