Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game...

It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.

Here I put some of the romance manhwas that I love and some even have a few similarities, types like Historical (Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Empress/Emperor, King/Queen, Lady), Villainess/Villains, Family, Magic, and a few modern ones...

as protagonistas (os) desses manhwas, acordaram um dia e descobriram que haviam possuído um corpo de outra pessoa, em outro mundo, então tentam sobreviver e se adaptar a esse novo mundo

This is a collection of manhwas and manhuas where the main character transmigrated into another world, either in their original body, in someone else's body or by reborn.

So yes, these are the so called isekai stories.

A list of Manhwas that finished publishing in December 2023.


Updated: 12/15/2024

This is a list of action manhwa/manhua that have actual romance in them. I am not including titles where the ml and fl get married in the last chapter and basically have no interaction or titles where the fl shows up every 50 chapters because the author forgot about them. If you have suggestions to add to this list, add me as a friend and send me a message. This list is for all of us so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
