It’s a restaurant with many secrets; everyone believes it is closed on weekends. However, only a few know it’s secretly an entry for different creatures. It’s an overall engaging light novel. One can quickly feel the charm of the characters and the element of isekai.

Re-monster is another fantastic story. The story closely relates to Mushoku Tensei, as the main lead is reincarnated into another world. The only difference is that Tomokui was a powerful man in his first life, unlike Rudeus Greyrat.
Secondly, he is reborn as a cute little goblin. Tomokui was then named Rou. (You might not find him attractive between you and me, XD). Now, as a goblin, he starts exploring his abilities. Right from the start, a series of adventures takes place that makes him stronger.
Each day is filled with hitches and glitches that make the story spellbinding.

7. Saga Of Tanya The Evil
The plot revolves around a 9-year-old young soldier named Tanya Degurechaff. As the name suggests, she is feared as evil. But, don’t mistake her for being a kid; instead, it’s the biggest twist of the story.
Inside the body of Tanya lies the soul of a man who once challenged God. But, of course, if you challenge God, you will have to face the consequences.
So, as a result, the man was punished for living as a girl. Moreover, he has to die a natural death no matter what. Otherwise, he will have to live the rest of his life in hell.
Now imagine how hard it would be to save oneself from dying! (that too, being a soldier). The character setting and engagement of the plot are somewhat similar to Mushoku Tensei; though the stories compete differently, the fun is the same.

Misato wasn’t happy living this life. After her death, she wished to live an ordinary life. Finally, her wish does come true, and she gets a new life. However, this time again, she is born with extraordinary abilities. Now, this not-so-ordinary girl will do everything to live an ordinary life.

4. The Rising Of The Shield Hero
Naofumi was an ordinary 20-year-old student whose life drastically turned while reading a book of heroes. The story was real, and he got summoned to their world.
In a blink, he turned from a student to a shield hero. However, the saddest part of the story is that no one considers him a true hero as he lacks offensive powers. Not just that, his life is an epitome of hardships and betrayal at every step.
Man, he never asked once to get a new life. Naofumi starts as a weakling and, with time, rises to be the strongest hero in the world. How and When is to be found by you! I can bet you would hate spoilers.
