Looking for something without game elements like Skills, Status screens or level ups. A more realistic depiction of them like in 'The Scourged Earth' is welcome though. I just dont want invisible computer screens in front of faces or at the corner of their vision that only characters can see. Really kills my immersion.
As for recommendations, Anything from earth being invaded by foreign creatures to being transported to another world. Preferably Male MCs but Fem also welcome. Magic is a must. Would prefer something with a lot of conflicts and action

Mine's got some "behind the scenes" game elements, but nothing you'd notice if all you did was read the story text.
Mostly it's an epic high fantasy story that just finished up a civil war arc, and will soon be moving on to the next big adventure after a bit of a time skip so the MC can grow up a little.
The main character's a little girl. Because a twelve year old necromancer playing with "dollies" is fun to me.

I recently reviewed
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/3307/the-selection Should be a good match. A bit dark. Magical school going horribly wrong.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21095/aint-a-hero if you're into hysterical insanities. Slapstick comedy slice of life with lots of explosions.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/22548/song-of-helheim-reparations Straight military fantasy. Slower build-up until the action.
Taleweaver in sig is even slower than anything above until the action gets going. Science fantasy / isekai:ish.

I write Lost Magic. No game elements, just fantasy. Quite a bit of action as I enjoy writing it.

My fiction, 'Blood Sapphire' might be what you're looking for. It's a dark fantasy about dwarves, and has been rated 5 stars. I update it twice a week.
If you're looking for action, adventure and a mysterious underground world full of terrible secrets, start reading here:

My fictions tend to be fantasy and rarely contain game elements.

Hello :)
I write a fantasy with zero game element, in fact it is a low fantasy.
Here is my work
I personally find it refreshing to find fantasy without game elements in amidst of isekai trend, or one that doesn't take heavy Tolkien or European mythology element.
I'm new here so I only have my own to offer, I hope that is okay.

I write simple high fantasty with a romance element. No game stuff, no real world stuff, a complete fantasy world all it's own with dragons, magic, and bandersooks.

#14The Wandering Inn. It is probably the greatest piece of fiction I have ever read and has brought me to the edge of tears. This is pure fantasy. I don't think it gets much better than this. This novel will draw you into its world and you will get invested in the characters.
RoyalRoad: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/10073/the-wandering-inn or for PirateAba's website: https://wanderinginn.com/
There is a minimal level system but its literally one line every couple thousand. The first review by LOGICALSYSTEMS puts it nicely:
Quote:I like levels but thats it. I don't like when a popup with level details come to life in front of character's screen. This doesn't allow the charater to grow on you emotionally, it just doesn't come to life because you can't really relate to the character this way. I really love how author have used the good and avoided the bad completely.

You could give my fiction a shot, though it's far from finished. There are no game mechanics whatsoever as I'm going for a more realistic story with realistic high fantasy tropes.

All three of my fictions are fantasies to varying degrees with no game elements.
The Charm Fable: Mousey and the Golden Book is a high fantasy children's novel with animal main characters.
The Whispered War is a low fantasy, political intrigue story taking place in a setting similar to Renaissance Era France.
The Crows and the Plague is a dark, low fantasy about plague doctors in an alternate history version of medieval Europe.
