    I'm looking for more series (MTL/translated/original English novels, web novels, comics/manga) that are similar to something like The Man Picked up by the Gods (Reboot) or In the Land of Leadale, where the stories are fantasy/adventure and have a more slice-of-life or episodic feel or storyline. Preferably they include:
    • Female protagonist (Male protagonist is OK if there's no romance, i.e., yuri or no-romance stories only)
    • Also, preferably no male lead at all if there's a female protagonist, and no female lead if there's a male protagonist
    • Fantasy world - isekai or not is OK
    • Adventurer MC
    • Independent MC (i.e., they often do solo missions rather than constantly staying in a party or group)
    • Strong and/or competent MC—or a progression fantasy where the MC actually grows
    • If the MC is OP, then preferably they are more low-key rather than steamrolling any conflicts
    Some ones I've already read/am currently reading other than the aforementioned two:
    Thanks in advance for any recommendations

    Thanks for the recommendations.
    I started reading Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru back when J-Novel Club was first serializing the pre-pubs for Volume 1, but I dropped it. I love Bofuri and Bookworm, though. I'll look into the others. Thanks!
