DEMONIC MAGICIAN
Found this series in the ‘readers also liked’ section of Madman Apocalypse and there certainly is a bit of overlap. The insanity on display here is less over-the-top though and it features significant romance elements.
CHANGELING
Coming across like an amalgam of Solo Leveling and Journey of Black and Red (with the same author as the latter), this series lags quite a bit in the transition from downtrodden grunt to overpowered vigilante. The beginning is good, and after she becomes a ‘mask’ is good, but the space between can take some effort to get through.
THE WICKED HOUSE OF Caroline
A work by the same author as Tori Transmigrated, this series is unfortunately nowhere near as well constructed. The level of believability is just not up to par and the author’s disinterest in fixing any of the (occasionally quite serious) mistakes pointed out in the comments doesn’t do it any favors.
Behold! The Harbinger of Doom
A fairly unconventional series that brings to mind Jack Vance‘s Dying Earth and Demon Princes novels. It’s not really something that can be binged though as the concentration of randomness is pretty high.
Parallel Hearts
Either the extremely… florid style of prose is to your taste or it isn’t. I prefer more modern phrasing.
Shades of Perception
While this plays with some pretty interesting ideas, I ultimately had to drop it about 25 chapters in. The protagonist keeps deliberately walking into questionable situations only to end up caving to those opposing him, even when he has a superior position.
ASHEVA: A SUMMONER’S TALE
A stealth cultivation novel in a sci-fi setting. When it comes right down to it I just don’t really like cultivation as a concept and was less than thrilled by both the protagonist’s naming sense and the actions of one of the secondary characters.
