Highly recommend Peculiar Soul by TMarkos!

I have to say, I have a strong love for interesting and well-thought magic systems and this is just that.

Granted it’s less ‘magic-y’ and more ‘power-system-y’ but it is still rad as hell!

Here is the description on RR:

Not everyone gets a soul. The rise of industry and mechanization has sent the world's population booming upward, striving relentlessly for the fixed handful of souls that level armies and steer the fate of nations. The remnants of a crumbled empire fight in a grinding, bloody war against their ancient enemy.

Not everyone gets a soul, but Michael must - for he is the scion of a lord, and the soulless cannot hold such a title. For five years he has tried to tempt one of the souls freed by its vessel's death. Five years of pain and failure, earning only his father's contempt. At last, one more opportunity to earn his soul has come.

I highly recommend Tori Transmigrated by Alia Aurie!

The storytelling is fuckin fantastic and the characters are interesting! The magic is pretty great too and the author gets very detailed into the descriptions of the main characters experiments, making them easy to follow and understand.

The main character is great and I love her! She reacts in a believable manner and is genuinely likable, not even mentioning the Aromantic representation!

When Tori woke, she was in a lavish four poster bed with a splitting headache and in the bruised teenage body of a Marquis' arrogant daughter from the popular dating sim "The Romance of Soleil".

Problem #1: There is a possibility she's dead in her world. This meant she couldn't meet up with her friends. Also, her tickets to Universal Studios were useless now.

Problem #2: This body may be young, but weaker than her original. And where were her boobs?

Lastly, Problem #3: She now inhabited the body of Victoria de Guevera; the villainess of "The Romance of Soleil" whose final ending, according to the wiki article, was a violent death at the hands of sex slavers.

With just a few weeks before the heroine and the villainess collide, there is no time for an existential crisis. Tori took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and whispered her personal mantra:
