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 ^^

Hope you enjoy :3

Here I put some of the romance manhwas that I love and some even have a few similarities, types like Historical (Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Empress/Emperor, King/Queen, Lady), Villainess/Villains, Family, Magic, and a few modern ones...

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.

From action fantsy, romance, isekai, and thriller, they’re all in here. Some are manhwa I’ve lost track of and had to restart recently so it’s definitely been very fun to make this list. There aren’t in any sure order like always! Enjoy! (Currently adding explanations!)

These consist of Korean and Chinese colored graphic novels called manhwa & manhua
part 2-https://myanimelist.net/stacks/22632

Stories where the main character rebuilds their life (and sometimes gets revenge) after being abandoned/sold off/abused, often by their family.

Some common tropes:
- sold off in marriage in place of favorite child
- going back in time following a betrayal that resulted in death
- heroine//villainess reversal


Enjoy!

manhwa that i've read that stars a strong female lead in a fantasy setting. some of these are simply romance-fantasy, without the isekai aspect, but they give off a similar vibe. these are my guilty pleasures so enjoy ;)

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).
