I totally agree with you! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ Sometimes the story is actually good but when they bring in the isekai thing its cringy and ruins the entire plot. Like why can't the MC already be in that world? Does she have to come from the real world or sumthin? And GOD their reactions when they realize that they have isekaid. It makes me wanna throw the phone sometimes because they are so cool with going to another world and leaving behind their family and everything in their old life!! Lol im getting carried away.(￣∇￣")
That being said, these are some great stories that i found that are not isekai and u have to have to try them!

This one is what i was looking for before: an MC that has not been isekaid or shit but belonged to that world from the beginning.
Reimei no arcana (this story and art is great)ヾ(☆▽☆)
White blood (every.single.thing.about.this.is.awesome)
Crimson blood
Emperor and the female knight
Revenge wedding
Hope you like them (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh thank you so much for the recs, that's so nice of you! ^^ And I'm glad someone else thinks the same! I completely agree on the point you made about them having to be isekaid when the author literally could just simply create a fantasy manhwa/novel and call it a day -_- but no! The protagonist has to be different, special, SHE'S NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS, NO, ACTUALLY SHE'S FROM ANOTHER WORLD :00 lol @ the absurdity. I feel like the age range for these type of manhwas is much younger than my own age -_-
And YES to Reimei no Arcana. I actually read that manga years ago, still one of my faves and a great example on how you can make a good fantasy manhwa without it being an isekai (●'◡'●)ﾉ (In fact a lot of the good shoujo mangas were released years ago) I''ll definitely be checking the others out as well.
I recommend you ''As you wish, prince'' It could be considered an isekai? but without the reincarnation bs and the relationship between the mc and the romantic interest is just... chef's kiss. Also I gotta give props to the author for the original storyline I haven't seen anything like it before. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Ikr? And thankyou for the rec. Glad i have something else to read(≧∀≦)
I'm sorry if this offends anyone as I am sure a huge amount of mangago readers do enjoy these type of mangas/manhwas but I'm tired of seeing these type of mangas/manhwas FLOODING the shoujo genre section (As well as the porno ones with little to no plot but that's a story for another time).
I feel like if at least some of them were different from each other I would be (kind of) fine with it but they all turn out/are the same. Girl dies in real word reincarnates into a villain character (Or just a princess in general) BAM! becomes good and everyone falls in love with her . Not to mention the protagonists are always clueless, naive or complete doormats (there are exceptions but a good protagonist is not always enough to carry a story). At first it was something new and it felt refreshing to read them as most Isekai usually have a male protagonist but I think at this point they are milking the genre far too much. Idk maybe I'm just too old for this.
As I said this is my opinion, I might be alone on this, so don't come for me.
