    I love this trope (Non-human female protagonist) ... Please recommend me anything that has this trope in it.

    I'm still stockpiling and waiting for Kumoko updates, I need something similar. I want to read about non-human female tropes. Series with romance is okay.

    Series finder only gives me these results:
    - Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? [Hoarding chapters] <Spider Monster then Goddess>
    - Meow Meow Meow [Planning to re-read] <Cat then Demon Cat>
    - Dragon Life [Never read]
    - Dragon Dragon Dragon [Never read]
    - Little Phoenix Is Not An Immortal [3 months no update] <Ugly Bird? to Phoenix with humanoid form>
    - Wangye, Wangfei is a Cat [Never read]

    One series that fits with what I'm looking for but didn't show up in the series finder.
    - Arachne [On hiatus by author] <Half Spider-Half Girl>

    Some series from RRL that fits with what I'm looking for:
    - Mikayla the Dungeon? [Waiting updates] <Dungeon Core>
    - The Daily Diary of a Mushroom [Waiting updates] <mushroom people then Dryad>
    - Anya [Hoarding chapters] <Human to Monster?>

    Other original English series that fits with what I'm looking for.
    - Taint [Hoarding chapters] <Some kind of experimental inhuman demon>
    - Void Domain [Hoarding chapters] <Half Demon>

    A game that fits with what I'm looking for.
    - Tales of Berseria [Completed] <Gouma? or Therion>

    Translated and originals are okay.
    manga/manhwa/webtoon/comics, anime/animated pictures/cartoon, and games are okay too.

    I love this trope... Please recommend me anything that has this trope in it.

    Nice! Thank you!

    I consider elves are just human with long ears. There is nothing that can differentiate their species and our species besides some weird magics or tree hugging hippies.

    Except for elves from Divinity 2, I love their cannibalistic skills and cultures... that twist was awesome for me

    Stoneburners - Mc was human until her manifestation as a metahuman, now she is permanently transformed into a dragonnewt (you know, claws wings, sharp teeth, tail, all the works). Her manifestation destroyed her memories and as ferals (the name for metas who manifest animal charafteriatics) are pretty much homicidal, job opportunities are hard to come by
    Lament of the Fallen - MC is a clusterfuck of races
    City of Champions Online - MC is a vampire-superhuman
    Maou Shoujo Makoto Chaos - MC was a girl and reincarnated into a crawling chaos, think chtulu but is still a girl inside, at least after she has eaten one...
    The Vespidian - another of those superhuman manifestation that go horribly wrong, in this case, girl x wasp...

    Queen of Devouring - MC looks human but is another of those "wolf in sheepskin"types or in this case, shadowmonstr in adorable little girl-skin

    I agree. Its so rare for elves to have good representations other than as hippie humans or OP mystical powerhouses.

    You would also probably enjoy http://www.novelupdates.com/series/semi-datte-tensei-sureba-ryuu-ni-naru/ because of te style. Its a cicada reincarnated into a dragon haha

    You can also do a series finder on royal road via their advanced search, just select non-human and female lead and a good rating and chapters and you should get decent results:

    https://royalroadl.com/fictions/sea...ING&orderBy=popularity&dir=desc&type=original

    Also where do you draw the line of non-human if elves don't count?

    Edit: Oh you said no male lead so probably want to take out the romance tag: (also loosened amount of pages a bit for more results)

    If elves have included descriptions like this:Long Hairs, Ancient magic, Nature Loving, Long Ears, Big Boobs, Beautiful Faces, Noble, blonde hairs, bright-haired elves, blah blah....
    I'm bored with that kind of elves, this is where I draw the line.

    Imagine elves with limbs longer than human... longer ears, longer neck, narrow head, long hands and feets, Wider chest.
    Instead of magically living in trees, I imagine them like a hairless monkey in trees with longer arms and legs they look like human but too disturbing to be human. They use their claws and long arms to move swiftly in the forest. Blah blah... Just add something creative to the elves yeah? So much potential, too much big boobed blonde beautiful elves, many wasted efforts.

    Or just give them cannibalistic skills and culture like in Divinity 2 and I'll be satisfied
