In the Space Between Titans

JohnLake

C45/100
We don't go into the Forest. We don't go into the Sea. When Wake Utono's world is shattered by the Sea Titan, the young sailor vows to stop at nothing to take his revenge. As he begins his journey into Knighthood — fighting alongside warriors and alchemists who turn the Titans' own power against them — he begins to suspect that the systems of Falrok War College are hollow imitations of something far more powerful. With humanity on the brink of collapse and the vast domains claimed by the Titans' spawn, Wake must start from nothing but a single axe. But the paths to power are broken. The system of progression is missing. So what does it take to wake a sleeping god — and what else might he disturb in the process?

Rise of the Skillmaster

S.T.J

D44/100
In a modern Korea where fifteen percent of humanity has awakened as Manaborn, rifts tear open across the city and the strong rise as Rifters. Sam Jimin, a poor orphan scraping by on the outskirts of Seoul, pinned everything on his Awakening. He received Rank E-1 — no skills, a dead end. Hidden behind that humiliating result, however, is a Unique Skill no one has ever seen: Skillmaster, the ability to create and edit skills at a cost only he can pay. With nothing left to lose, he gambles everything on it — fighting his way up through academies, guild politics, and rising threats, skill by skill and battle by battle.

D43/100
Melvin Murphy is an ordinary high schooler until he discovers a System that governs all magic. Attempting to summon a teacher to guide him, he botches the ritual and accidentally pulls through a magic-wielding girl named Kalliphae — powerful and deadly, but just as clueless about Earth as he is about magic. Together, an unlikely pair begins navigating both the mundane problems of high school and the far stranger challenges of a hidden magical world.

Collective Thinking

TowerCurator

D42/100
Dyna Graves grew up believing she was special — not above her peers, but simply outside their context. Just as she started figuring out what to do with the rest of her life, she received an invitation from the Carroll Institute, a psychic facility that had identified her psionic potential. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers with obvious abilities, her own lack of apparent power becomes glaring. Then an explosive incident during a routine experiment reveals there is far more to Dyna Graves than anyone realized — and she finds herself pulled into a world of cutthroat espionage.

Diary of a Teenaged Mimic

Kenny Celican

D42/100
Tabitha Diaz fits in wherever she winds up — even when that wherever is another world entirely. "Wear the mask long enough and you become the mask" isn't scary for the mask. Tabitha is an overpowered shapeshifter who is far too much of a dumbass to realize how overpowered she is. Her story is a slice-of-life isekai heavy on relationships, found family, and polyamorous romance between two bi women and their tiger-woman companion — set against a non-heteronormative secondary world with occasional over-the-top threats when her family is endangered.

After the Final Chapter

GoldSphere

D41/100
Daniel spent a decade writing a single fantasy novel — the saga of Artorias Grifantes, the legendary mage who sealed himself away with an immortal evil to save the world. He finished the final chapter. Then he died face-down on his keyboard. He wakes up in a crystal chamber a thousand years after his ending, inside his hero's body. His protagonist has become a religious figure, his allies legends, and his hero's baby sister is long dead — though her descendants remain, including a blind little girl who needs a hand. The elf he wrote into a doomed romance is still out there, waiting. Daniel inherits the greatest mind on the continent, but with it come memories and emotions he never expected. And the seeds he planted for a sequel are still out there, worse than anything his hero ever faced. Instead of writing it, he will have to live it.

The Lich King Reincarnates as a Baby

Of Rantings and Ramblings

D40/100
Lord Dread was the first lich in history and the greatest magical prodigy the world has ever seen. The Gods themselves feared his potential and banished him for it. They should have been more thorough. After freeing himself from a prison of countless millennia, Lord Dread finds his powers diminished and his body that of a baby girl — born to an aristocratic family. With a fresh chance to re-learn magic better than he taught himself originally, his sights are set on regaining his former glory. He must learn this strange new era, rebuild the dark empire he once used to challenge even the Gods, and take revenge on the fearful divinity that struck him down. This would be easier if girls could inherit land — but Lord Dread has never let a little thing like that get in his way.

Now inhabiting the body of Bianca, the plain and overlooked friend of the villainess, she's exhilarated by the chance to live in a world brimming with magic. Determined to make the most of her knowledge of the game's opening events, she ventures into a beginner's dungeon to gain strength. But when a seed of darkness disguised as an innocent puppy crosses her path, her plans spiral out of control — pushing her to level up, seize an overwhelming power, and face the temptation of becoming the next dark overlord.

The Phoenix

The Phoenix

D39/100
She entered the Tower seeking death. Instead, she keeps finding reasons to live. In this life she is Bella, a jaded med student trying to catch up on centuries of medical innovation — or at least she was, before the Tower appeared. With the promise that she would find whatever she sought at the top, she entered hoping to end her curse. But even with hundreds of lives of experience to draw on, reaching the top is no easy task. The Tower is filled with wonders she could only dream of, and what she once believed was the peak of power turns out to be only the first rung of a much larger climb. Her foundations are unshakable, but the Tower is deeper, deadlier, and more exhilarating than anything she has ever faced.

Agent of the Realm?

Andur

D39/100
Seria is the goddess of life and death — fathered by Chaos, born by Order, and the first ambassador to leave the realm of Dedessia to make contact with other realms. Dedessia is a harsh place where even immortals, demons, and gods struggle to survive, yet its people carved out a great kingdom worth being proud of. When Seria ventures out as their representative to make first contact with neighboring realms, she receives a fireball to the face.

Project Chrysalis

John Gold

D38/100
Chrysalis is the project of the century: a hyper-realistic fantasy RPG where government orphans are placed in virtual families to receive the love and upbringing they never had. It's designed to mold children into healthy adults. Something went very wrong for twelve-year-old Anji. Instead of loving parents and simple lessons, he finds himself in Hell — performing bloody rituals, evading demons, and fighting to survive the nine circles of the game's most forsaken place. Betrayed for the sake of someone else's plan, he has nothing left but rage and the knowledge that the truth behind Project Chrysalis is far darker than anyone realizes.

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D38/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.

A blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy GameLit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence uncovered at a slow, deliberate pace.

Transformation

Valery Starsky

D33/100
The familiar world collapsed overnight. As the Transformation progressed, disasters struck throughout the Earth — materials changed their properties, new species of flora and fauna appeared, and an alien Game converted our world into a vast dungeon, replacing the previous civilization. However, the alien plans for Earth began to go awry from the very beginning. An ordinary young man stole the bonus for the first gaming action, depriving the invaders of their perk. Now he must navigate a world of fire-breathing creatures, dark elves, money-grubbing dwarves, and powerful dragons — while deciding which aliens to trust, which to fight, and whether to dare rebel against all-powerful invaders.
