    Are there any good self insert fics in less popular/lesser done settings? I accept all not just those in lesser known setting. Just that I've read a lot already in well known/commonly done ones already. Looking for hidden gems.

    I prefer male MCs, but I'm fine with female MCs if there's little or no focus on romance. Also prefer non-evil MCs as well as the SI being capable and somewhat active in their goals rather than just retreading canon, being in the background, successfully avoiding canon, or being a coward or just really weak and useless.

    I've read a lot of ones in Harry Potter, Worm, RWBY, Marvel and DC. I'm starting to get into Naruto though I don't know much of the source material. Hoping for easy intro recs for it as well as GoT and ASOFAI

    I've read a few in DxD, Familiar of Zero, My Hero Academia, Pokemon and Fate.

    I've gone through the more typical in
    I've read a good Chivalry of a Failed Knight one, one Arifureta, one Monster Musume, two Overlord, one High School of the Dead, two Re: Zero, one SAO, one Oregairu, one Isekai Smartphone, one Cultivation Chat Group, two Konosuba, a good Infinite Stratos one, etc. and few good short snippets.

    There's also quite a few good Oregairu Crossover and I've read many interesting Crossovers too. Not SI, but Out of Context Outsider/New Player I really like.

    I'm trying to find hidden gems in fandoms less talked about.

    FYI: A self insert is when a character/fan of a show, anime, book, etc. gets reincarnated or transported into that thing. It's fun due to having meta knowledge and having an outsider perspective.

    LPT: Don't use mobile links, since when they are opened on PCs they don't change into the PC version. The other way around nearly always happens automatically or gets offered.

    Do you only read on mobile?

    There is a gamer fic (two parts of two parts) by "The dark wolf shiro" on ff.net that can be enjoyable if you're fine with the occasional (nearly every chapter) smut/lemon.

    Yeah, I only read on mobile. Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to change it once I got time.

    I've read Shiro's fics on QQ. Besides Conquest, the others aren't my taste.
