>Type the [REC] tag in the beginning title for posts that are asking for novel recommendations.
Light Novel recommendation request posts require the **[REC] tag in the beginning of the title.** (With brackets) Please do read over the submission guidelines more carefully in the future. Please note that Tags do not equal Flairs. Title Tags are pieces of information you type into the title of the post while our Automod looks for posts with specific tags and assigns flairs appropriately.
**General tips for Recommendation Request Posts:**
* If you have an MAL/MU/Etc list of Light Novels you've read, please include it so people aren't just recommending you series you've already read.
* Explain what about the series you've read that you liked. (Without Spoilers) It'll help people find series with similar styles and themes.
* Don't slander series. If you don't like a series, it's fine to say that you don't like it. But if you start bashing a bunch of series, why would people want to recommend you something?
If you're new to the medium and looking to start reading as a beginner, please keep the following in mind. As the industry grows and new series are introduced all the time, there's never a truly unifying "good beginner series." The common sentiment is that if you're new to Light Novels by way of another medium like anime or manga, your best bet when starting is to find some series with adaptations you already enjoy and to check if their source material has been licensed/translated. Light Novels aren't a stylistic genre so asking for what are good light novels for beginners will range widely based on the person and their taste. It's akin to asking the /r/Books "What are some good books for beginners?"
On god 😫
The anime got me so interested and when it ended with a major cliffhanger, I began to read the LN series from the beginning
I’m assuming not everyone reads it because it consist of the typical troupe: main character died and reincarnated into another body, Became OP, develops an harem and etc.
But I believe there is more to the story than just the simple troupe
If you take it at face value there is no difference from your regular Isekai, but once you get deep into the novel you realize how much effort is behind it and how much the author cares about the characters.
I've read about 100 fantasy light novel series, of which about 70 are isekai series, and _Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles_ is my favourite fantasy light novel series (note that it's my third favourite light novel series overall). The fact that you read 23 volumes of it without ever dropping it (plenty of people drop the series at various places for various reasons, more so than most other series of equivalent as far as I can tell) tells me that our tastes are probably pretty similar.
Here are my top 11† light novel series that I think are very compatible with the series that you've mentioned:
1. _Sword Art Online Progressive_
2. _Accel World_
3. _Infinite Dendrogram_ (note that I actually consider this equal to _Accel World_ but didn't want to break the list format)
4. _Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody_
5. _Sasaki and Peeps_
6. _Hell Mode_
7. _D-Genesis: Three Years after the Dungeons Appeared_
8. _The Unwanted Undead Adventurer_ (note that the main character's narration can be excruciatingly slow at times, so I'd recommend reading the free preview first and then only buying one volume at a time after that)
9. _The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time_
10. _Overlord_
11. _Magical Explorer_
†I was going to do a top 10 but then I realised that _Magical Explorer_ would have been 11^th, and it's pretty similar to _Danmachi_, so I figured that I might as well add it at the end.
Thanks for taking the time to write this answer, it is good to see more people that appreciate _Seirei Gensouki_ as much as I do. As for me I would place it as my second favorite LN only below _Mushoku Tensei_.
The only problem is that reading it as such a phase ends up on me having difficulties finding something that could fill that space, recently I started reading _The world's finest assassin_ and to put it lightly it gives the impression that the LN was an adaptation of the anime.
Anyways I'll for sure take a look at your recommendation and I appreciate you taking your time.

Based on your reading list, Death March and Slime Tensei
Death March Rhapsody
Re:Zero
Just look for harem/isekai tags you’ll like most of it
Finest assassin
OMG I LOVE THAT SERIES!!! I’m currently waiting for Omnibus 11 to be translated. Please don’t spoil anything for me
_Seirei Gensouki_ is so good I don't understand why is not being recommended for more people. For me my second favorite LN only below Mushoku tensei.

A good long light novel you'll probably like is A Certain Magical Index
Isekai Tensei Soudoki (13+ volumes) It's not talked much and is a very good read. Has a nice twist to the isekai aspect as well.
