: Re: How to traditionally publish a fantasy-fiction novel serial in our modern era of publishing without the use of zines? I am about 3/4 finished with the first "volume" of a novel I desire to

I looked up Isekai on Wikipedia, and one paragraph grabbed me:

Several later examples from English literature include the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), as well as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889), The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), Peter Pan (1902) and The Chronicles of Narnia (1950).

So this means, perhaps don't view it as a distinctly unique genre that's hard to appeal to Western publishers, but an update of the Oz/Narnia formula. Oz books had pictures, Alice in Wonderland's Tenniel illustrations are famous.

The descriptions in this Wiki page on Parallel Universes and subtypes thereof may also help you communicate with local publishers.

I did an Advanced Search on the Submission Grinder, limiting it to markets that accepted Fantasy and handled Novels/Novelletes (by arbitrarily putting in a wordcount of 17000), and found 82 possible markets, 20 of them paying.

You may need to "get in" with one first with a stand-alone short story, but an editor is more likely to take a chance on you for a longer work after they've accepted a single story and have built up some trust. Aim for the top ones right away -- they tend to at least refuse quickly.

: "unique-looking" vs "look unique" I'm writing a text and there is a part of it that's making me uneasy. I'm talking about gameworlds with unique art styles as opposed to worlds that look realistic.
