Recommendations Isekai

I’m asking for a friend, he says he wants an isekai without the generic shit like the harem, or like without the cheats, it doesn’t need to be action either, but let’s be real a lot of the isekai genres have action in them.

 

then I would suggest the cooking ones like the other world food hall, Kumakuma bear, Nobu or the new coffee shop one

 

No cheats
No harem
Pick either one or neither.

 

Azarith Healer - Over 166 chapters in and the MC still hasn't become the most powerful figure in her new world, area, or kingdom. She's strong, but there are people equally as strong as her or much stronger. Just in varying ways.

 

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar

 

how about "a hero's war" on royalroad. mc isn't very powerfull at all and it's focussed more on technological development of magitech

 

I've read a lot of isekai. That's pretty hard to find.

 

faraway paladin

 

Hakai Me no Yuuri - No harem, no cheats. Exactly what you're looking for.

 

Ascendance of a Bookworm

 

Third person to have the same oppinion, i think you say to your friend to just grit his teeth because there is a low number of them.

GJ, you gave him a decent recommendation conform to his wishes, i totally forgot about this series.

Now that you gave this recommendation, it raise the question if the guy is fine with "(Modern) Knowledge cheat".

 

... That's not a cooking one... It has cooking, but it loses focus later on.

 

Youjo Senki
Log Horizon
The Otherworld Dining Hall
Isaac

 

true but I counted it because she owned it and she probs will do lots more in future

 

How about korean novels? They are send in another world too and most don’t have harem.

Edit: Nevermind, forgot you don’t want action.
The only one that i can think is Risou No Himou Seikatsu or cooking type of isekai novels.

 

Doesn't ring a bell but here's a series finder. I took a glimpse and there's some "cheat but not op" thing, "mc is special" thing, and "obviously cheat but not tagged", but at least it's something!

 

Ouroboros Record ~Circus of Oubeniel~
isekai, no cancer-like harem, and no cheat given to the mc

 

Thought about crossing over to another world, think twice, there will always be a lot of problem no matter the worlds
Epilogue

 

He says he’s tried it, but most of them he doesn’t like it so he asked me to ask you guys.

 

He says he’s tried almost all of it except for Isaac, at this point I think it’s just easier for someone to write one for him lmao.
