As I read a lot of manga, some popular tropes include: superpowers (heroes and villains), immersive online worlds (usually games), and reincarnation stories (where the protagonist uses his prior knowledge or a power up to gain an upper hand).

So anyone got tips, advice, or recommendations of books to read? I know some material won't translate well, but I'd like to give it a shot when writing. Stuff I've read includes:

• Worm, an online web serial about superheroes and villains where everything is in the grey area.
• Ready Player One, popular media references in a video game world you can connect to paired with the easter egg hunt of the ages.
• Epic and Saga, post apocalypse society where everything in real life (status and wealth) is dictated by how well you perform in the game.
• Wild Cards series, alien virus causing powers

There might be a few more, but those are the ones I remember clearly.
