The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanen Mcguire
I suppose *The Magicians* by Lev Grossman fits your requirement. When the characters become aware that a portal to another world exists, they purposefully seek it out. (I can’t say I enjoyed the book very much, but many people did, so why not!)
{{His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman}} kind of fits, though it’s secondary characters who are looking for the portal and the MC gets swept up in their politics and machinations.
If wanting to go to the afterlife counts (the main character witnessed it and wants to return) try Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw. Main character is undead. Hijinks insue.

Amber, Zelazny, perhaps?
Elric, Moorcock.
