I keep seeing these fics pop up on FanFiction.net under the 'Harry Potter' section if you sort by favorites or reviews over a certain timeframe. The search function is terrible, but the community vetting is real—the ones that rise to the top often have that dense, elaborate worldbuilding because readers who stick around for 300k words demand it. The prose can be clunky sometimes, but the ideas are there.
Honestly, half the fun is sifting through summaries that promise 'rational!Harry with a gamer system' and seeing which ones actually deliver on exploring magical politics or alchemy. You get a lot of duds, but when you find one that integrates the system into the lore instead of just slapping it on top, it's worth the dig.
Ao3 has this wild tagging system that saves lives. You can literally search 'Harry Potter Has A System' and then add filters like 'Worldbuilding' or 'Alternate Universe - Worldbuilding'. Some authors get super into it—I read one where the system was tied to ancient Hogwarts wards and magical theory, and it felt like reading a textbook in the best way. The comment sections on those fics are gold, too, people debating the mechanics.
I'd avoid Wattpad for this specific niche; the tagging's a mess and stuff gets buried under a million 'Y/N' fics. Ao3 writers who tag for worldbuilding usually mean it. There's also a dedicated forum on SpaceBattles called 'Creative Writing' where these hardcore fic writers post chapters and then argue in-thread about magical system consistency for pages. It's a whole thing.
My Discord server for HP fanfic recs has a channel just for 'system fics with good lore.' Someone's always dropping a link to a new one on QuestionableQuesting or Sufficient Velocity. Those forum-based fics are where the ultra-detailed worldbuilding lives; authors treat each chapter like a patch note for a magic system. It's less about shipping and more about mechanics, which fits what you're asking for.

Adrian died with fury in his heart, hating the tragic ending of his favorite novel.
The villain deserved better.
But the story was never written for happy endings.
Betrayed by everyone he trusted, feared by the entire world, and ultimately destroyed by the plot itself—Cassian Nyx, the infamous Demon Lord, was never meant to be saved.
Until Adrian woke up inside the story.
He didn't reincarnate as a harmless bystander. He woke up as Prince Elian Ashford—the tyrannical prince destined to destroy Cassian.
Worse, a cold, ruthless World System instantly locks onto his soul, forcing him to keep the original tragedy on its "correct" path.
[MISSION: MAINTAIN STORY STABILITY]
Failure Penalty: Immediate Death.
Trapped between a lethal penalty and his own morals, Adrian chooses a dangerous path: pretend to follow the plot while secretly rewriting the villain's destiny.
But there’s only one problem.
The more Adrian tries to save the villain, the more the dangerous, obsessive Demon Lord begins to love him.
Cassian Nyx is a monster feared by the entire kingdom. He trusts no one. Until Adrian. For the first time in centuries, the scarred Demon Lord begins to hope for a future where someone finally stays.
Now, the original hero has arrived, and the System is forcing the final execution. Every choice Adrian makes pushes the world further into chaotic plot deviation.
Adrian must make his final choice. Will he obey the System to save his own life? Or will he destroy the entire story itself just to save his villain?
Genre: BL Fantasy Romance / Transmigration
Tropes: Obsessive Demon Lord ML × Reincarnated Prince MC, Saving the Obsessive Demon Lord / Destroying the Plot for You, System Missions, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Angst with Comfort, Soul Bond.
In a world that has long considered werewolves a myth, old blood is stirred again when Raven—an ordinary young man living on the brink of collapse—is suddenly chosen by something that shouldn't exist.
A mysterious system emerges within him: the Werewolf Evolution System.
At first, Raven thinks it's just a delusion... until the first night of the moon changes. His bones crack, his blood boils, and something inside him begins to "awaken."
But the transformation isn't just a curse. It's the beginning of evolution.
Every battle he wins, every enemy he defeats, and every drop of blood he sheds, the system evolves, giving him new abilities, new forms... and a dark side that's increasingly difficult to control.
Behind it all, the world begins to stir.
The secret government, werewolf hunters, and the Alphas of various packs begin to sense something unnatural—a werewolf who defies the rules of natural evolution.
Because Raven isn't just a human who became a werewolf.
He's an anomaly.
And when the final “evolution path” opens, Raven will be forced to choose:
Become king among monsters… Or lose herself completely and become a disaster that even the Alphas can't stop.
But one big question remains:
Who really created the Werewolf Evolution System—and what is Raven's true purpose?

Now Mars is trapped in a fantasy world as a nobody, and the gorgeous, cruel Crown Prince who just kidnapped him thinks he's a spy. Keith Elarion's solution? Keep Mars under his personal, infuriatingly attractive supervision.
Mars’s plan is simple- survive, avoid the plot, and find a way home. But the prince is nothing like the two-dimensional villain from the book. Keith is all intense green eyes and confusing, rough kindness, and he’s decided Mars is his to keep. When Mars accidentally unleashes a power he should not possess, he becomes the key to a conspiracy that runs deeper than the novel ever revealed.
His meddling changes everything, accelerating a plot that was supposed to take years.
To top it off, a cryptic bird-god just told Mars he's not just a lost college student.
He's the son of the goddess who made this world.
To save Keith, stop a divine war, and maybe finally kiss the man he falls hopelessly in love with, Mars has to do the one thing the book never planned for: he has to rewrite fate itself.
