Magical Fantasy

Urban Fantasy with Gender-Bender Transformation

Looking for something like I Became an Heiress Running from an Arranged Marriage and Started Livestreaming in the Ghost Realm. Urban supernatural fiction. Though the author tells the story through episodic, instance-based arcs, they go to great lengths to avoid making it feel formulaic. The characters stay in character, the setting and logic hold up, and it's a rare, wonderfully bizarre read.

Please Recommend Novels Featuring Western Magic

Magic, battle aura, knights, mercenaries, beastmen, elves, mages, undead, dragons

Looking for Magic Academy Novels, but No Harry Potter!

Any Books with a Protagonist Whose Personality Is Similar to Great Love Immortal Venerable?

Decisive and ruthless, playing with the world; strong logic, well-rounded characters, and a dramatic story. The protagonist shouldn’t have everything go smoothly, but should face plenty of ups and downs. A few minor plot holes are fine, just nothing major.
