I've been reading the translation of the Korean web novel Academic
Undercover Professor. The author's name is I believe Sayren. I've
been enjoying it and wondered if anyone has suggestions of similar
stories out there. Plotwise it involves reincarnation of the MC into a
fantasy sword and sorcery type world.

This is a category called Isekai meaning other world essentially
and if you go to the sites and scan thru the listings you will see a
great many of these as it has become a popular category.
If I want to find something I go to DuckDuckGo a discreet search engine
and enter manga and hit enter. <http://fanfox.net/releases/> is where
I go twice a day and look for my interest which sadly is not isekai.
Not all isekai stories deal with reincarnation but many do. The only
problem is the numerous stories out of China which try to imitate
Japanese Manga but don't seem able to get it quite right.

bliss - a fount of nearly useless information about people
who only existed as images poorly printed on cheap paper
and in the minds of countless young victims of cheap presses.

What I'm asking is if someone familiar with "Academy's Undercover
Professor" has found and can recommend a similar story. I'm already
using places like novelupdates to find stories fitting my criteria, but
it's looking for the "needle in the haystack" Asking in a newsgroup
like rec.arts.manga might find a reader who is a fan of the story who
can point directly to similar stories, assuming they've found one.

The Problems are dual. Usenet is greatly reduced in readership and the extent of the manga and novels to be read is very great. I cannot keep
up with the manga much less the novels.

Good luck
