Millennial Mage

JLMullins

A82/100
The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within ever-dying cities. Mages create the only path forward. Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a power path that was her own. She knows it is her duty to use that power to defend humanity against the creatures of the untamable wilds — but she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Now Tala must balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Academy dropped on her shoulders, not to mention staying alive. Even though she should only be a Mageling, the world considers her a Mage.

The Stars Have Eyes

Exterminatus

A82/100
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place — until life happened and changed it forever, even if only a teeny-tiny bit. Perspective, as it turns out, is everything. Magh'rathlak the Observer is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality. Average as far as reality-warping entities go, it still struggles to keep things in perspective. To narrow its maddening vastness, it decides to compress its entire being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all — how hard could being human possibly be?

Viridian Gate Online

James Hunter

A82/100
October, 2042. An extinction-level asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. World governments are preparing deep-earth bunkers for a lucky few, but Jack Mitchel, a thirty-two-year-old EMT, isn't among the winners. His only chance: permanently upload his mind into Viridian Gate Online, a brand-new ultra-immersive fantasy VRMMORPG. The transition kills his body, one in six die in the process, and even if Jack beats the odds he'll face vicious monsters, domineering AIs, and cutthroat players. When Jack stumbles upon a secret conspiracy to transform V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age, the deadly creatures in the dungeons become the least of his concerns.

To The Far Shore

Warby Picus

A82/100
Post-apocalyptic Oregon Trail. Mazelton comes from a clan of radiation wizards who harvest the cores of living beings to power their magics — but he has no enthusiasm for the family trade. That hardly matters when entire armies are sent to exterminate his clan. He has to run: from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, forced marriages, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not-terribly-nice family has trained him to survive apocalypses. A world still recovering from the last one should be easy.

His foster father taught him a mysterious and ancient magic unlike anything seen since the last dragon left the world. Now, at 18, he is accepted into a guild of mages with the promise of learning more about his unique power. Raphael's strange abilities could very well lead to the return of the dragons — a coming-of-age fantasy series with cultivation elements and incremental progression through spells, abilities, and equipment.

The Bell Tolls for Me

Nemorosis

A82/100
A succession crisis consumed the Kingdom of Dovhain following the death of Edgar the Great. Princess Isabella endured every indignity, overcame countless injustices, and fought the most vicious of enemies — first for survival, then for hope of a better future. She became queen, only to be betrayed by those she trusted most. Somehow, Isabella woke up eight years in the past, one week after her father's death. The experience and knowledge she gained in the struggle for the throne give her a fighting chance — but the question she must answer is a hard one. Should she pursue her own happiness, or attempt to better the realm? Perhaps, if she dares, she can reach for both.

Paladin Of The Forsaken Lands

jollybane

A82/100
Vrax should be dead by now, and he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here — delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands at level zero, being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class. Until then, he'll just have to outwit or outrun the horrors most sane adventurers avoid. Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential: one that lets him fight the horrors he's been running from his whole life using even worse creatures of his own making. Steady progression from level zero, with a unique power set that lets him craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.

Salvos

The life of an Infant Demon is a bloody grind to the top. For Salvos, a curious newborn Demon with a penchant for making friends, surviving the swarms of wild Demons in the Netherworld was always going to be a difficult task. She will adapt, gain experience, and evolve to survive this hellish landscape with the help of her sole companion. But when her companion's life is threatened by a mysterious Demon King, she'll have to separate from him and be tossed into an unfamiliar world of humans and monsters — where she is scorned for being born a Demon.

REND

Temple

A82/100
Erind Hartwell is a dutiful daughter, law student, film enthusiast — and psychopath. She's relatively normal, even in a world where superhumans battle eldritch horrors that transform people into monsters. Viewing life as a movie, she has always wanted to be the main character. That wish is granted unexpectedly: on the brink of death, impaled by a spike, an otherworldly entity offers her powers. Becoming a monster isn't exactly the heroic origin she imagined — but she didn't have much choice, and she can probably make it work. Follow an endearing psychopath through the chaos of a battle between superhumans, hi-tech government agents, monsters, mutants, and wannabe heroes for Earth and the future of humanity.

Chronicles of an Isekai'd Legion: For the Glory of Rome

Zaifyr

A82/100
A wise man once said all roads lead to Rome. He didn't know how right he was. Ripped away from the battlefield, Tiberius and his six thousand Roman Legionnaires find themselves stranded in a foreign land of magic and witchcraft. With no way home, their path forward is obvious: conquer everything in sight — much to the chagrin of Marcus, the poor, unsuspecting bard who summoned them. Taking over the world is not so easy. The Legion must learn to navigate the strange magics and abilities this new world has granted them. Meanwhile Marcus must figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world — or simply enjoy the front-row seat to an epic in the making.

Delve

SenescentSoul

A81/100
An average guy wakes up in a forest with no idea how he got there. He wasn't summoned to defeat a demon lord or save the world — as far as he can tell. He can't speak the local language, and not everybody immediately trusts a pajama-wearing stranger they found in the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It's about avoiding death, figuring out what's going on, and making friends along the way. The main character takes an unconventional path as a support mage focused entirely on mana regeneration — a build most adventurers consider foolish. The numbers in this story actually mean something, and progression is measured not just in personal power but in allies, connections, and hard-won knowledge.

Biracial Edgelord Can't Make Immortal: Power of Ten, Book Seven

RE Druin

A81/100
Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse — one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs. Oddly familiar, yet deeply strange: Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos. Evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods — only ascended Immortals pursuing personal Projects with little care for the lives of mere mortals. The road to mortal power is clear and broad, and Funf has a significant head start. But when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, shaking up the existing order will require an entirely new approach — and perhaps bring the Light of Heaven to a cadre of uncaring super-beings for the first time.

Witches, Boys, and Other Monsters

blugail

A81/100
Eliza Scaggs is tired of the rumors — that she's an old witch who made a pact with darkness, that her pet monster stalks children. She's been working herself to the bone on a secret government project, trying to prove that she, the only woman in the wizard's guild, actually belongs there. When she takes on a teenage apprentice named Oliver, she's determined to show that mentoring a kid is not something a twisted hell spawn would do. But Oliver is quiet in a way that worries her, and when he asks if she can "fix" people, she fears he means himself. Set in a world where magic drives the industrial revolution, the story follows a witch and her apprentice as they are thrust into a dangerous faction war.

What does one who holds all the power in the world do, when every reason for that power has disappeared?

M. H. Johnson

Alex was willing to do anything to survive terminal cancer — even have his mind uploaded into a digital universe of countless worlds while his body waited for a cure. He expected to wake gradually into a peaceful existence. Instead, he regains consciousness naked and alone in the bowels of an ancient ship crewed by raiders carrying enough poison to kill an entire city. The choices he makes from that moment will have profound consequences — for him and for an entire realm. Alex faces bloodthirsty pirates, ruthless cultivators, and fearsome demigods as he takes his first steps on a path that might one day forge him into a cultivator powerful enough to challenge the heavens.
