Discount Dan

Shadow Alley Press

A75/100
All Dan wants is to find a way home. He'd settle for a beer, a bite to eat, and a place to sleep off his hangover. But Dan has accidentally noclipped into the Backrooms — a bizarre, extra-dimensional world cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned asylums, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as Dwellers. No one ever gets out. If Dan wants to survive the week, he'll need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own. He's also being hunted. The Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death, and no one walks away from the Skinless Court with their hide intact.

Mythshaper

Eon R. Solara

A75/100
Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path. Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell — and even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn earns attributes, points, and power through stubborn hard work. Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God. None of this should have mattered to someone living on the fringe of the empire — until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.

In Clawed Grasp

Seth Richter

B74/100
Five years in the prime of his life, wasted. Just as Cayden was about to gain his freedom, everything changed — he found himself in a new world without explanation, a world of magic and limitless possibilities. Orc, elf, ogre — hundreds of possible races. Blacksmith, fighter, rogue — thousands of possible classes, each with tens of thousands of possible skills. Reborn into a new world, Cayden will choose a path entirely his own, forging himself into something powerful enough to protect himself and the ones he loves. A LitRPG following Cayden from infancy as he learns the rules behind the system governing this world — and then pushes them as far as they can go.

Only Villains Do That

Webbonomicon

B74/100
While waiting on a train platform, rude and cranky musician Seiji found himself snatched up alongside a high schooler named Yoshi and transported to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure. The good goddess Sanora chose Yoshi as her Hero. Her wicked sister Virya chose Seiji as her Dark Lord. Seiji has no interest in playing along — but Virya promises to make him beg for death if he refuses. Forced to make just enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron off his back, while avoiding going so far that he can't strike a deal with the forces of Good, Seiji walks a razor's edge. His true enemy was never the naive Hero from his own world. It was always the goddesses.

Redemption Arc

Nemobrosus

B74/100
Lord Lucian Villamar left a trail of misery in his wake — the archetypal entitled rich villain of the turn-based strategy RPG War of Four.

Powerful figures in the four major nations all want to see him dead. Conspiracies are underway from both political factions and malevolent powers. And Lucian, devoid of talent, is wholly unprepared for the coming calamities. Maybe our protagonist can plot a route to survive this challenge run.

The Rogue Dungeon

eden Hudson, James Hunter

B74/100
Roark von Graf — hedge mage and lesser noble of Traisbin — is one of only a handful of Freedom fighters left, and he knows the Resistance's days are numbered. But when a daring plan to unseat the Tyrant King goes awry, Roark finds himself on the run through an interdimensional portal, stranded in an ultra-immersive fantasy video game called Hearthworld. He can't log out, his magic is on the fritz, and worst of all, he's not even human — he's a low-class Dungeon monster called a Troll. He did manage to grab a powerful magic artifact on his way through, and with it he might just be able to save his world. Unless, of course, the Tyrant King gets to him first.

Engineering, Magic, and Kitsune

SteelTrim

B74/100
John Hall did everything right — got his degree, landed his dream job in process engineering. Then, not even a week in, he woke up in a strange fantasy world steeped in Japanese mythology. Driven away by fireball-throwing locals, he retreated to the monster-infested woods, took residence in an abandoned fort, and rebuilt it — while teaching himself magic from scattered tomes. Five years of survival have slowly shaped the stranded engineer into an artificer carving out a more comfortable life, but the isolation is wearing on him. Danger and opportunity arrive together in the form of an injured kitsune. Aiding her drags John into a world in conflict, where his unique knowledge and perspective become his greatest weapons.

He became the most powerful being to ever walk the planet — and is hated for it, called the World Ender by all.

Blessed by Death: An Archmage's Second Life

euterpe

B74/100
Levi was once the servant of Death itself, spending years eliminating arcane threats to the world. His final task carried a terrible cost, and he retired to a life of solitude — until Death returns not to reap his soul, but to offer a blessing: reincarnation into another world where no one knows his name. Levi accepts, only to awaken in the body of a disgraced noble son, disinherited and on the verge of expulsion from the Institute of Ascension. Death apparently left some things out. He's fine with that. Let the nobles sneer. He's an archmage — so long as he has his magic, he can take on anything. He's been gifted a whole new life, and this time, he intends to live it as an adventure.

The Arcane Emperor

Aternus

B74/100
Rainer, an amateur arcanist and college student, attempted to create a spell far surpassing the magic he inherited from his grandfather. The interference of an unknown event during casting hurled him through space and time — into a world where status screens are accepted as normal and class distinctions are matters of life and death. Leveling beyond farmer or peddler requires years of brutal training. Goblins are no fodder, orcs fill children's nightmares, and a dragon? You might as well move countries. Rainer, however, arrives with the rare and powerful class of Arcanist — and an insatiable hunger for greater heights.
