    As the title says, I want a JPnovel which I can read and enjoy that doesn't have a cliche setting.
    Okay, this is a list of a genres I don’t want or I prefer not to read:
    Fantasy, Vrmmo, reincarnated, Teleport, Adult, gender bender, yuri, yaoi
    That’s it for now...
    There is no problem if its not translated yet.

    fair enough but it isnt your average gender bender. i dislike that genre too, so i wouldnt recomment it if it was something average. did you read the synopsis at least? try it. though, its fine if you really dont want to.

    Yup, I agree. not your average gender bender. Love the concept. Sadly, few chapters.

    Dark dark fantasy about elves who has turned against the humans. Elvish magic is called organic necromancy which allows them to raise the dead as goblins, orcs, or other monsters. Realllllyyyy messed up backstory for the mc but it has a romance which holds steady and true against the ravages of madness. No stupid beta-male mc either where he acts indecisive.

    Really good novel about people who have been transported to a world and have their memories of earth erased. Good because one, it has a ton of character development. And two, it is super suspenseful because essentially the main character and his party is weaker than every monster out there and characters not dying due to plot armor is nonexistent (somewhat like game of thrones where characters die and stay dead)

    Edit: well fk me I just saw the no fantasy. If it helps, these two LNs are dark af. Read this one too (American dark fantasy) http://royalroadl.com/fiction/2022

    oh but its realistic though for the mc in grimgal to act that way..
    imagine that suddenly youre thrown in different world with no memory and they desperate for living.
