Honestly idk if these ones would count in what you’re looking for as they still do have pretty cookie cutter introductions or can be quite predictable at times but I did like either the concepts they had or the subplots
- Becoming The Villain's Family
- I Became the Hero's Mom
- Obsidian Bride
- Kidnapped Bride
- I’ve become a crow
- Death is the only ending for a villainess
- To You Who Never Loved Me
- When the Villainess Loves
ESP the last three

I love isekai and the other period pieces, be it in an eastern setting or western, but these days I find everthing to be cookie cutter: same plot same art. Does anyone have reccomendations for plots they really liked? I'm okay with any setting, and I prefer the romance ones over the martial art ones. Bl is also okay! I haven't read anything that has gripped me from this genre in a while, reccomend your best reads to me! (●'◡'●)ﾉ
