I realized I haven't really read too many of the generic, power growth, at least moderately serious kind of fantasy stories, so I'm looking for those. It seems ratings and reviews for them sometimes go down due to their genericness, so its a bit hard to figure out whether or not they're actually good or not. Isekai is ok, doesn't really matter, as long as the vast majority of the story takes place in a fantasy environment. Female protagonist and shoujo ai/yuri are tags I'd like, but stuff without it is fine.
Join the thread "Yuri Garden" for Yuri/GL stuff. https://www.novelupdates.com/series...orld-a-hero-a-demon-lord-no-its-a-fairy-desu/ Yuri. OP fairy that can of course transform into human size. For now in available chapters no full yuri actions but there are feelings in the air. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/i-was-reincarnated-but-i-dont-know-why/ Yuri. Same translator. Kinda similar of fairy = OP MC but in strength category. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/kuma-kuma-kuma-bear/ Not yuri, but female MC and a few lolis friends with her. Really heartwarming and interesting with MC recreating modern food in isekai and doing fluffy stuff. 10% adventure 90% slice of life. Caution 1-2 bad moments (first is warned with a butler telling lord that a noble was horrible and had corpses of women etc etc / bandits arrested, they killed males and kept the women, a woman is sad in front of a ring that was found on the mastermind that was given by husband/boyfriend). But really minor, fluffy overall. Heck she began to teach some people to create cotton candy.
