Summary
When you wished for something in your life to change, this wasn't exactly what you had in mind. Here you were, being held at needlepoint by a stranger after falling through a portal when you were just trying to go to bed.
But maybe this is where you were meant to be.

Summary
Mukul, A human soldier, fallen in the line of duty for a war little know about. Accidentally shot by his scared comrade no less, doomed to bleed out deep in a seemingly endless desert surrounded by gunfire. A pitiful hand to be dealt, yet dealt anyway.
A great power nearby takes notice, intervening to give the poor soul another chance in the best way it could. Transferring his mind into one of a beast yet born, a path of destiny yet paved. Not as a vessel, much unlike most the others, but a Nosk.
Waking up in this new body like rousing from a deep dream, Mukul finds himself taking a new name in a completely new world. A world inhabited by bugs, ruled by a pale Wrym, and under threat of a new light corrupting everyone's minds. A world completely foreign to him. Or it would be, if he could remember who he was. Or anything really, it’s all just really fuzzy to him. Yet, he knows it isn’t right. If only he knew why. And so he stumbles forth, trying to learn and survive in between all the monsters and maybe even a bit of pale politics.
In other words, human gets isekai-ed into Hallownest as a Nosk. Nothing but fun times ahead!

A Noble(S) Attempt At Helping by TebTebmylittlepony

Summary
You know, If I came back as anything else I don't think I'd complain that much about being resurrected in the world of Hollow Knight.
A Moth, maybe a Weaver, even as a Voidling would be better than nothing.
But no, instead I come back to life as a random noble bug with nothing special to my name except having lots of spare Geo.
But that's fine, even if I have nothing, that doesn't stop me from eventually achieving it, and with everything that's about to happen in this Kingdom and the future, I'm going to need everything I can get.

The Persecuted Genius, The Desperate Sovereign and The Scornful Daybreak by NZ_World_Archive

Summary
Despite his desperate attempts at a cure, The Pale King failed to resolve the atrocity of the scornful goddess.
Desperation at the precipice of a cliff, only for guilt to constantly push him off the ledge as time passed.
It would seem like The Radiance had won, until another entered the fray.A mere mortal human, who finds himself in the world of Hallownest, created a cure that a god couldn't.
An audacious being that dared to challenge the will of both higher beings. Eluding their grasp like a shadow.Becoming a high-priority target to both factions.

Summary
Death was not the end. For the Wyrm, it was ascension. For you, it was a cruel rebirth into a dying world - unchanged and laid bare.
Hallownest stands at the height of its splendor, yet a rot stirs beneath its polished surface. A mind-eroding plague spreads in silence, and in this rising sickness, the humanity that should have damned you instead gives you value.
To deny the desperate bugs is to shatter their hope. To accept is to invite a disaster born of faith. How do you survive a kingdom that admires the mediocrity you curse, and whose belief might just make their delusion real?

Summary
Circus horses are amazing. Trained and beautiful. A greedy you desires to pet one. Not really expecting a ride of a lifetime. You end up in Hallownest. Ravaged by years of infection. You and the horse attempt to find a way out, even if you think this is all just a really long nightmare or the final stage of insanity.
You meet a strange man. He is small.
A demon arrives in the town along with his troupe. You won't let them take your little man.
Turns out a horse and a master of fire (a human) isn't a common sight in collapsing kindoms.
Be aware of the fate of a horse thief. Be aware of the curse that is cast on those who steal from Grim.Series

Summary
Contada por él, la historia del Señor Desleal no comenzó con la infección, sino con algo más profundo. Mael, un Lord que desafió el honor por su familia, y como la relación prohibida —la suya y la de su hija— selló su destino, y lo convirtió en el exiliado que el reino llegaría a conocer.

Summary
A former human dropped into pre-seal Hollownest, trapped in a new insect body and a particular ancient mask forced on their new face. Burdened with the knowledge of what is to be Hollownest's fate, but lacking a alternative to a deeply flawed plan of Pale Light, how can anyone save a Eternal Kingdom when eternity itself is a falsehood?
Noah the Mystic will certainly try, but is this newly made bug truly capable of such a feat?
(Story inspired and based on Hoops, Strings, and Other Placebos by Bubblebtch! Amazing writer check out her work!)
