Hello all i was curious hopefully this is the right place to ask this if not im sorry.

I was wondering like the title says any other books similar to this
Cast Under an Alien Sun

I really like the whole idea to transported to another world w/o being a LITRPG , kinda remind me of David Weber Safehold but anyway could anyone pitch in some good books on this ? type civilization building?

This is the basis for a lot of books & stories. Here are some oldies, but goodies. Some are parts of series, but stand alone well.
The Maker of Universes
Pebble in the Sky
Farnham's Freehold
Immortality, Inc.

A newer one is The Lighthouse Land. McKinty is typically a gritty adult suspense author, so I found a YA novel from him interesting. It was pretty good.

Thanks i already read some of the Oldies hehe but do you know of some newer ones ? 2000+ ?
Still Thanks

I've always liked Dave Duncan's The Reluctant Swordsman trilogy, in which a modern (1988) man gets dumped in an alternate pre-literate sword & sorcery world.

Dickson's The Dragon and the George not only dumps a modern man in a sword & sorcery world, it puts him into the body of a dragon. This is mostly played for humor.

Foster's Spellsinger has a wizard summon a man from our world to his sword & sorcery land.

In a more recent SF bent, in Carolyn Ives Gilman's Dark Orbit, has interstellar travel. The heroine thinks she's the first human to reach a new world, but unexpectedly finds herself amid a very strange offshoot of humanity; I found their culture fascinating.

Gaiman's Neverwhere drags a man into an alternate parallel "under city" of London, and his Coraline drags a girl into button-eye world.

A YA Japanese series of 4 books, The Twelve Kingdoms, has been translated to English. It transports a Japanese high schooler into a weird fantasy world, an interesting example of Isekai.

And of course more classics such as Wonderland, Oz, Narnia, Gulliver and Barsoom.

The Reluctant Sorcerer is a fun read. And it's been a long time since I read it, but I remember enjoying The Warlock in Spite of Himself.

If you're willing to accept time travel as the means by which the modern-day protagonist is dumped in a pre-industrial world (in this case Elizabethan England), then I can recommend King of Shadows, which I'm reading at the moment.

Just for something a little different, I'd suggest the Otherland tetralogy City of Golden Shadow by Tad Williams. Even though he does his world building in future virtual reality, it's still a pretty intricate and compelling world he builds there. (My opinion only).

I found the first book was very difficult to get through. If I hadn't been a fan of his other books, I might have given up. However, that was the tediousness of setting the world. I'm so thankful I continued because I LOVED this series!

I agree about the slow start, and I'm not sure that the bit he called forward is actually a forward. For someone who doesn't know what they're starting, it reads like it might be a WWII historical fiction or something, and not the virtual reality world it's really about. Once it gets going, though, it's a really good series.
