Portal Fantasy Books

Portal fantasy is built around a hero’s journey from their familiar reality into another world. This can happen through a magical portal, a mysterious artifact, reincarnation, a spatial anomaly, or in a completely unexplained way.

The key feature of the genre is the encounter between a person and an unfamiliar reality with its own rules. Unlike LitRPG or virtual-reality stories, the new world does not have to be a game and is usually perceived by its inhabitants as a complete reality.
