You know the type -- Girl reincarnates or gets to relive her life, typically involving romance and medieval intrigue. There's a few that stray from that archetype on the list, but I thought they all fir well together into this category.

Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game...

It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.

—r/OtomeIsekai (credit to definition)

A collection of romantic fantasies set in the European Middle Ages.

Most of these stories are centred around strong female leads who are reincarnated or isekai’ed into another realm filled with magic.

Some of these stories such as ‘Roxana’ or ‘The Remarried Empress’ take a refreshing diverge from the rest as they do not include reincarnation or isekai and instead focus upon the time period or fantasy elements. Highly recommend these if you can’t tell ^^

For those, like me, who are looking for some romance and fantasy manwhas that are not about someone reincarnting or travelling back in time, just to read something different.

I will add more in the future!!

Primarily compiled from my own list so I'm sure there's plenty I'm missing! Feel free to send me more :)

Works in which the main character has suffered the loss of their spouse. No spoilers.

Works in which the main protagonist has been in previous romantic relationships prior to getting together with their main love interest, or is established to have been in a romantic relationship prior to the events of the story.

I bet you want to read some lovey dovey Romance that sets back to the European King Ages but cant fund it.

Well, i have put together the best ones i could find so u dont have to do the amount of digging i did.

You're Welcome. 😇


There are also some that are not on mal for example "I Became the Wife of the Male Lead"

Look for part2 when i make one!

Collection of captivating stories + aesthetic art.

The protagonist is in a position of aristocratic authority in Fantasy/Isekai. Includes Aristocracy/Nobility, Villainess/Villain, Duke/Duchess. The protagonist may also attain aristocratic authority (influence, political power) later in the story.

Note: this list excludes protagonists that are Royalty or Imperial Family (Prince, Princess, etc), and stories that are "Book World" or "Game World". Child protagonists will also be excluded (refer below).

(PART 2) https://myanimelist.net/stacks/58311

Because aren't you tired of the same old bland cold male lead who makes the FL feel like absolute shit almost throughout the entire manhwa only to get their act together and get them in the end with little to no effort? Talk about generic! Good thing we have these male leads who have all the green flags to remind us that no, men can do absolutely better.

[ Has a green flag rating system; You can recommend or suggest a male lead that fits this interest stack via my profile, whether by comment or message. The ML must have at least a rating of 7/10 green flags though to fit the stack, love, love, and more reading for everyone! ]
