My own story is what I would consider Soft-Isekai. I have a free lance editor proofing my story before I post it, so at the very least, it won't have any distracting narration or grammar problems.
I say Soft-Isekai because my MC (Red/Sarah) has a katana that acts as a portal device. It's not too dissimilar from Virgil's katana in the DMC universe. The MC faces a growing threat to her real/primary world, so she uses the katana to jump into secondary game/movie worlds. Several of these secondary worlds are games/movies that we know including the first Devil May Cry, Skyrim, 300, and iRobot. These worlds aren't named directly within the story though and much of the reading experience revolves around pop culture references.
In addition to crossing into other worlds, the MC also uses the katana like the Portal video-game. This has been a learning process for her, but she gets more involved in using the portal mechanism in her battles. I just finished Ch 7 (not yet posted) where she was using portals to fight an airborne dragon...so yeah, she gets pretty intense with it.
The MC's goal is to visit these other worlds to train, gather resources, and get strong enough to face the threat in her primary world. I'm confident in recommending this story to you as a good plot, because it is character driven and the MC has a personal stake outside of her home world's demise. Across the story, she has personal growth and has an evolving relationship with her two companions Jack & Wolf.
You should be able to tell early on if it will be a story that you'd be interested in reading further. Feel free to give the first few posts a look. The characters jump into their first new world at the end of
1.4 Crazy Train.
