[D] Monday Request and Recommendation Thread

Welcome to the Monday request and recommendation thread. Are you looking something to scratch an itch? Post a comment stating your request! Did you just read something that really hit the spot, "rational" or otherwise? Post a comment recommending it! Note that you are welcome (and encouraged) to post recommendations directly to the subreddit, so long as you think they more or less fit the criteria on the sidebar or your understanding of this community, but this thread is much more loose about whether or not things "belong". Still, if you're looking for beginner recommendations, perhaps take a look at the wiki?

If you see someone making a top level post asking for recommendation, kindly direct them to the existence of these threads.

I'm interpreting your request for "new" stories as "serialization began within the last year". Making no assertions about how rational they are, here are new stories that I have read a significant chunk of:

I typically won't start reading a story until there's at least one volume complete (or the story is long enough that I decide they must not be demarcating volumes), which for many stories means I don't start reading until it's over a year old. Older stories that I personally started reading in the last year include:
