Imma be a speedster

UnproperMadman

C53/100
Every self-respecting basement dweller knows what to do when fictional monsters become real and people gain the ability to level up: figure out an overpowered build, grind, snowball, and become ridiculously powerful. Focus on yourself. Survive, thrive, become a god. Dennis has other priorities. Beating hopelessness with overwhelming fervour, he faces a system apocalypse with an unhinged yet charismatic determination — and an absolutely unbalanced power set that puts faster-than-light speed on the table. Things will get dark. But Dennis never stops pushing forward.

The Apocalypse Grinder

Adventuresse

C53/100
Ronan Steele was in a meeting when the apocalypse struck. Now he must defeat hordes of goblins to complete a system tutorial and make it back to an Earth that has been merged with three other planets — a world now overrun by mutated beasts and dangerous invaders. Ronan carries one advantage no one else has: when he dies, he wakes at the start of the tutorial again, keeping his skills and earning an XP boost each time. The further he goes, the more his heritage grows. Driven by a single goal — to bring down the system that forced this tragedy on his world — Ronan grinds through an endless apocalypse, life after life.

The Twelve Apocalypses: A Damned Soul's Path to the Abyss

AT Valentine

C52/100
Being drafted into a demon army wasn't on Hayden's bucket list. But when his soul is shoved into a human soldier on the eve of a new invasion, there's no appealing the decision. Around him, demons are excited and ready — for them, the invasion of Berlis, a classic sword-and-sorcery realm, promises a feast of souls and new growth. Hayden's human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, cannon fodder meant to die first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he discovers he was born for the madness.

Adamant Blood

Arcs

C52/100
Mark Careed has dreamed of being a hero since he was eight years old — fighting monsters outside the city walls, going anywhere he wanted instead of only where it was safe, standing shoulder to shoulder with the real heroes against kaijus. Now almost 18, Mark is close to taking the real Tutorial and Awakening his Power. But his hopes collapse when the False Tutorial estimates his future Power as a brawny — simply a stronger human, the fate of 90% of humanity. Mark refuses to accept it. Determined to change his fate, he sets out to do something drastic: seek help from an archmage, a true Hero of Humanity. A story of exploration, slice of life, kaijus, magic, other worlds, trauma, and growth.

Integrated Universe

David J. VanBergen Jr.

C52/100
It started as an average day. Jeremiah was minding his own business when Earth was forcefully assimilated into the Integrated Universe. All diseases were cured, the aging process was halted, and everyone gained access to near-unlimited power — with one problem: the planet is now filled with terrible monsters. When Jeremiah miraculously survives an encounter with a deadly creature, he becomes the first person on Earth to earn Elite status and is awarded his own personal trainer. Now the only things standing between him and ultimate power are a planet full of terrifying monsters and ambitious humans. It's a race to become King of the World.

First Line of Defense

BenjaminKerei

C52/100
Earth was invaded, conquered, and humanity was subjugated — 400,000,000 people culled in a second, without any chance to fight back. The Peacekeepers claim to be benevolent: they don't want to rule Earth, they just want humanity to stop playing around with AI and genetics. Willing or unwilling, Morgan and the rest of humanity are now members of the Collective. And like every species in the Collective, they have to learn to play the Game. When an AI offers you the opportunity to play the greatest tower-defense game the universe has ever created, you accept — and figure out the rules for survival later. Morgan certainly thinks so. But when aliens are attacking your station and giant six-eyed rats are eating your robotic face, doubts start to creep in.

World of the Changed

Vasily Mahanenko

C51/100
World of the Changed swept across humanity like nothing before — a mobile game with flawless graphics, an intuitive interface, and a viral marketing campaign that had millions waiting for Hour X. Nobody understood the price the game would demand. Mark Derwin, a student, was just another eager fan. What he found when the release hit was a world transformed: humanity split between monsters hungry to kill and players scrambling to survive, with a game owner who will not tolerate anyone advancing too far.

Forced to fight for survival without their technology, Morgan and his shipmates must adapt quickly. They begin to carve out a new existence — until they discover the planet is already inhabited by a cunning, powerful, and lethal native species.

When his pod splits open two thousand years later, he finds a wasteland world of warring tribes, mutated animals, monsters, and ogres. The freezing process was only half the experiment. Something swimming in his bloodstream is turning Jack into something more than human, and he'll need every advantage he can get to survive.

Dragon Core: The Dragon-Girl Evolution & Princess-Collecting Dungeon Core Isekai

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C50/100
Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

He dismisses her — until she shows him things that aren't possible, including healing his chronic injuries and revealing her true, non-human appearance. There's no stopping the takeover. Humanity will be transported to an already-populated planet and must find a way to survive. A few humans are to be sent ahead to prepare the way — the Forerunners.

Sisters Jun Arai and Jun Sana, along with their friends Juni, Ling, and Shu, make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau — an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna of their home Great World. When they are dragged into a grand scheme to uncover the ancient secrets entombed within the Yin Eclipse Mountains, one of their world's foremost forbidden zones, they must survive dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents, and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that rather hoped it was done with that sort of thing.

At the End of the World

Justin Marks

C50/100
Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house to relax and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived. It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game, trading downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while defending their new home and surviving. They don't know the rules. They don't know what's coming next. What they do know: reinforce and expand their fort, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

The Spellforged Magus

Xiphias

C50/100
The world didn't end with fire or ice. It ended with a rain of blood and a bureaucratic apology memo from the rest of the galaxy. Enzo had always been a daredevil — snowboarder, rock climber, martial artist, skydiver — until an accident put him on a quieter path crafting bespoke jewelry. Then came the rain. With it came evidence that humanity wasn't alone, and that magic was very real. The dead now rise as Eaters: magically evolving, mana-sucking undead with a taste for hearts and brains. Enzo's only guide is a cryptic Universal Training Guide that refuses to answer questions until you're already figuring things out for yourself. He'll master spells, craft magical equipment, protect the people he loves — and eventually find the people responsible for that apology memo.

Choose Your Apocalypse

JLMullins

C49/100
'A Rounding Error has Occurred. Please Choose Your Apocalypse as Compensation.' Alex Johnson — a home-based IT worker — is thrown into a brutal LitRPG apocalypse and handed the chance to design his own end-of-days. Like choosing wallpaper for his personal inferno. Enemies, skill tree, sidekicks — all semi-customizable. Of course, the universe is cruel and capricious. Hidden forces are at play, uninvited and unwelcome, seeking to control his fate. So Alex is going to be fighting uphill, against the odds — and probably some interdimensional middle managers — from the word "go."

Her resilience is tested when her brand-new exploration corvette crashes onto an uncharted planet, Sigma 16. Equipped with a state-of-the-art exo-suit, a semi-operational colony bootstrap system, and a sometimes-annoying AI companion, Talia sees the crash as an opportunity. She sets out to build her base, explore the expansive dunes and jungles, and uncover the planet's resources and secrets. But Sigma 16 may not be as uninhabited as it first seems — and a potentially hostile alien species with equally advanced technology is watching.

Forgotten Dungeon

maheusz

C48/100
It's quite hard to start as a dungeon core. Harder still when divine bureaucracy dumps you in the back end of nowhere due to their own incompetence — and your status as a Fallen Angel. Yet Uno is used to working with subpar materials and making the best of circumstances. His personality has been cut down to size, but he tries to overcome the system with ingenuity and a healthy dose of improvisation. In a hostile world, a fallen angel turned dungeon must build, adapt, and outwit a universe that seems determined to bury him.
