Hell Hound Evolution

Winter Knights

B69/100
She's a puppy. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve. Waking up one day in a litter of puppies, her human life a fading memory, she quickly falls into the flow of things — playing and hunting with her pack, taking naps, and leveling up. With five siblings who all have unique powers, a protective Dog Mom and three-headed Cerberus Dad, nothing seemed like it could go wrong. That is, until human hunters attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters. Now alone in a harsher world, she won't give up — she'll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge and get her family back.

A Benevolent Evil Dragon

Nolifeneeded

B69/100
A powerless man, thrown about by a world he had no say in and unable to change his circumstances, is reborn as a newborn dragon with the potential to finally be truly free. Escaped from the grasp of higher powers and not keen to be another cog in the machine, he uses his cumulative knowledge and new talents to survive and carve his own path. Misfortune still follows him, however. Higher beings are keen on interfering with his existence, his own instincts and impulses as a dragon contradict his human mind, and old problems he thought he had left behind come back to haunt him. This is a story of exploring identity, the self, and the world — with a complex magic system and an unhinged, scientific approach to studying it.

Power Overwhelming

Vihyungrang

A particular soul has gone through more reincarnations than it can remember.

That universe happens to be the gathering place of other reincarnators and some of the most powerful beings in the multiverse. Thrust into the middle of an emerging conflict, the soul must grapple with what it means to finally face a life that matters — and who orchestrated it all.

D.C. Haenlien

A story drawing on Chinese mythology and the rich tradition of xianxia cultivation, reframing the grand myths from an unexpected angle.

Blood Sovereign

C.Peinhopf

B68/100
Some monsters are born. Others are chosen. Mirela was meant to be a saint, but her birth was cursed. Born a vampire beneath the shadow of prophecy, she never knew her blood carried both miracle and abomination — she only ever wanted to survive. On her eighteenth birthday, the divine Catalyst awakens her class and reveals a truth that could tear the world apart. Hunted, betrayed, and torn between the call of sainthood and the hunger in her veins, Mirela must decide what her power is truly worth. Blood and divinity were never meant to mix. In her hands, both may save the world — or end it.

Agenda of the Villainess

ThaviaVex

B68/100
As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life — and certainly not memories inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. A steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, set in a late Victorian-inspired world with a system of magic based around floral circuitry.

Deathworld Commando: Reborn

RangerFrank

B68/100
Commander Kronos was not considered human — he was a weapon, grown in a tube to be the perfect soldier for his species. When he experienced genuine emotion for the first time, humanity eliminated him. He was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery as Kaladin Shadowheart, a dark elf, and given a second lease on life he initially refused to accept. It took a near-death experience and hard-won growth, but Kaladin finally committed to honoring a promise to his former comrades: to give this new life an honest try. A reincarnation progression story focused less on power fantasy and more on a former weapon learning what it means to be a person.

Lost and Found: An Episode from the Life and Times of a Serial Villainess

R.A. Scott

B68/100
Mira has a problem. No matter what world she transmigrates into, she always ends up as the villain. This time she wakes up as Violet Coventry, the infamous antagonist of a three-part dating sim game. In the original story, Violet allegedly bullied the sweet heroine Cecily Rousseau out of jealousy over her connection with Prince Andrei — who also happened to be Violet's fiancé — destroying her reputation and forcing her from school in disgrace. That's exactly the moment Mira arrives and inherits the entire mess: patchwork memories, a ruined reputation her host may not have deserved, an ex-fiancé who hates her, a mysterious illness no one knew about until it killed her host, and a love rival who turns out to be her secret long-lost sister. Fortunately, Mira has plenty of experience surviving in trope universes. Unfortunately, the third installment of the game wasn't released before she died, so she has no idea what the endgame holds.

To survive and shield the new lives that depend on him, he must use a lifetime of quiet competence to navigate a dangerous frontier town, hunt deadly beasts, and outwit men who mistake his lack of flash for weakness.

The empire stands alone against the relentless beasts of Madra. Their only means of survival is harnessing the density that saturates her surface, a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

Everyone dies, but I get to live again. And again. And again. When I died, my soul followed the usual cycle of reincarnation — until I was caught by higher-dimensional pirates.

So what's a guy to do when he's reborn as a baby in a new world? Learn the local magic, navigate how his System works, and pick up skills to help him survive and thrive — in this life and all the lives that follow. Maybe along the way find some meaning in it all, setting goals across the vast multiverse. A slow-burn, slice-of-life serial reincarnation LitRPG about the journey of living through multiple isekai fantasies.

Saga of the Soul Dungeon

AJFoxmoor

B67/100
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. He's not particularly happy to be dead, so resurrection in any form isn't too bad. The real problem? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has to share mind-space with it. That doesn't even account for the powerful wizard who is understandably reluctant to let a dungeon escape. And even once he manages to escape, he must found and manage a dungeon in a location fraught with complications: it sits on the border of two rival human nations, a sentient plant race claims the ground as sacred, and teams of adventurers keep wandering in looking for a living. Through it all, Caden is determined not to lose his humanity and become just another murder-hobo dungeon.
