A slice-of-life cultivation story about a schemer weaving influence and control across an entire world, with a large harem.

Ace of Capes

kayday

C57/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

Hail Thy Gods

Godric

Worlds will burn, empires rise and fall, and republics shatter as gods grown deaf to suffering are challenged by the forsaken.

Angry Spider

C56/100

When he came to, he found himself reborn as a human being, complete with a nervous system, organs, and a brain. Worst of all, his precious System is gone and he actually has to grow up. How disgusting.

Dexel

Lindle is determined to be as unlike his father as possible. Unfortunately, being a half-giant is hard to ignore, and the system seems determined to force him into a giant-exclusive class. Seizing what may be his last chance before his path is locked, Lindle takes a job guiding an adventuring party out of his snowy village and into the sunless tundra. Deep in the dungeon, he finds his opportunity — but no one has ever heard of an Artificer class before. Fortunately, Lindle loves to craft, and a spark is about to reignite a destiny long buried under the snows of his frozen world.

Tidal Lock

ResonantIce

C56/100
Humanity has finally taken the next step into space. Governments run research stations throughout the solar system while private enterprises mine asteroids for rare metals and exotic minerals. However, space remains beyond the reach of the everyday person. In contrast, virtual reality technology has led to an explosion of full-immersion entertainment, and many people turn to VR for the thrill of spaceflight. One game, Parallax Gate, lets players experience living in an interstellar civilization. For maximum realism, its developers created a world solely defined by players' personal skills and ability. Mark Asami, a student of aerospace engineering at MIT, dreams of bringing spaceflight to the masses. To pass time, he plays as Aero Rayne in Parallax Gate with his roommate and their organization, the Temple Wraiths — until a chain of in-game events draws them deeper into the game's world and politics than they ever intended.

A bargain is struck — Magnus will be reborn in Midgard, empower himself through mystical runes, and battle Odin's foes in exchange for his fallen team receiving a second chance at life. Waking in a small farming village, Magnus must now train and fight both mundane enemies and creatures straight out of myth, across all Nine Realms.

Reborn on June 5th, 1980, she is now Medea Malfoy, once again saddled with an annoying twin. Fortunately, she knows how this world works — and she knows the Malfoys turn out fine in the end. Wealthy, loved, and utterly unmoved by the plot, she simply wants to save her family from the discomfort of having Death Eaters commandeer their living room, and she refuses to let the Boy Who Lived take her Dobby. Medea doesn't want to be a hero. Fortunately, saving her family will require her to be a villain.

Strength Based Wizard

RMCollinwood

C55/100
Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low: lost his job, fiancée dumped him, moved back to his parents' basement. Then the System arrives and Earth becomes a playing field in a contest among the gods. Provided the ideal stat array for a physical combat class, the choice is obvious — until Joe fat-thumbs the selection screen and ends up with Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat: 1. With a useless class and only his raw strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. He pumps every stat point into Strength and sets out to win the whole damned thing. A real wizard should be measured by how much he can bench.

Risha: Goblin Empress

Corwin Benedict

C55/100
Born the smallest and weakest of goblins, Risha worked hard to stay alive. A servant to the orc overseers and an evolution away from becoming that which she hated, she never gave up — hunting her own food and overcoming every obstacle in her path. Thrown into a pit and left to the mercy of orc warbeasts, Risha should have died. Instead she survived, only to disappoint her overseer by refusing to evolve into an orc. When Risha refused evolution, the System took notice. There was more to Risha than met the eye, and when her opportunity came, she seized it.

An Elder's Revolution - The Art of Sect Politics

Candis

C54/100
Sect Elder Liu Wei is one of the most prominent figures of the Lunar Peaks Sect — feared and respected across its countless members. As a breakthrough elevates him to the same cultivation level as the sect patriarch, what should be his greatest triumph instead becomes a moment of doubt: for the first time in over four hundred years of cultivation, he has hit a complete roadblock. Without family, close friends, or deep loyalty to his sect, Liu Wei must contemplate what to do with the vast power he has spent his life accumulating. As old ambition meets a rediscovered sense of compassion, a new goal takes shape: to bring as much justice and fairness as he can into this ancient system of oppression. Liu Wei shall walk a path of defiance.

Trixx

C54/100
Faust aims for the Nascent Soul realm — satisfied if he can achieve a level that commands respect across the continent and pass on peacefully in old age. In preparation for his younger sister entering the sect, he pushes for his breakthrough and enters the Inner Sect of the Clear Mirror Sect. The new disciple intake, however, is unlike any before it: prodigies from prestigious clans and talents from across the continent, some even matching the great sects. Heaven's Gaze itself is fixated on the new disciples, signalling a heaven's favoured among them. Faust sweats as he worries whether his plan to live leisurely and raise his family into a fledgling Nascent Soul clan will survive the chaos that's coming.

Godslayers

Trollmore

C54/100
In ancient times, the Eifni Organization reached heaven through violence and tore gods from their thrones. Now their methods are more precise: etheric technology measures love, creates beauty, and reincarnates the dead. By embedding specially trained operatives — godslayers — into a culture, they engineer the exact conditions needed to kill a god and save the souls it would otherwise devour. Lilith was a run-of-the-mill college atheist until a divine being took a bite out of her soul. Rescued by the Eifni Organization and trained as a godslayer, she is now deploying on her first real mission to a planet called Theria. Objective: reconnaissance on the local pantheon and clearing out as many gods as possible before the strike team arrives. There is just one problem — the Therians seem to know they are coming.

Godfather's System

Agoraphobic Dragon

C53/100
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless. But when the choice was between that and death, he was willing to take the deal. Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.

Money and Qi are the keys to power in the Republic of Ardus. Ren has neither. He had a good life — until debt collectors tore him from his loved ones and threw him out onto the streets. Life in the dark alleys of Katarn is merciless to the weak, and Ren craves the power to change his fate. He has no teacher, no master — fated to rot away like the pile of refuse he calls home. Until an encounter with a dying immortal gives him a chance to change everything. But before he can step onto the path of immortality, his spirit is tainted by the venom of a Mythical Beast. Will the song in his soul and a lost cultivation technique be enough to survive this cruel world?

LostInTranscription

C53/100
Marcus saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the king is old and Marcus is an only child — hard decisions must be made, and no one expected anything of him beyond his skill with the arcane. They were right to underestimate him. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, that all his arcane skill did not make him immortal, and that running from problems does not make them go away.

Nero Walker

Leetle Sheet

C53/100
Nero has been transported to a world built on fantasy instead of physics — a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation, with competent administration and opinions based on rational argument. He's not prepared for any of it. While the world is big and full of characters, Nero would mostly prefer to ignore what's going on around him and focus on learning magic. Allies will assist him and mentors will guide him, but the leveling system he keeps trying to avoid turns out to be far more complex than it first appears. A slow-burn story following an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold, forced to grow up by circumstance and the people around him.
