The Dao of Reincarnation: Ascending Through a Hundred Lives

RighteousEgg

F22/100
Su Chen died — and that was when the real cheat code finally activated. A mysterious ancient tome called the Reverse Fate Scripture latched onto his soul. Every time he dies, it tallies his previous life's feats, failures, and audacity, then awards Reverse Fate Points to spend on perfect-grade talent, heaven-defying comprehension, god-tier bloodlines, and more — anything to rewrite the script of the next existence. He has been the arrogant trash young master, the iron-blooded general, the emperor killed by family, the unrivaled senior brother, a demonic cultivator, and a devouring Nether Raven. Lifetime after lifetime of failure, betrayal, glory, and catastrophic falls — every death just feeds the next run. Now, armed with memories from countless lives and a terrifying mountain of hoarded points, he opens his eyes once more. From worm to apex predator, from mortal speck to standing above the heavens — this time, he's engineering the single most broken starting build imaginable.

Death Game Quality Assurance

Andrew Rowe

F22/100
Working QA for a video game sounds like a dream—play games before anyone else, find bugs, file reports. The reality involves unpaid overtime, office politics, and the constant threat of layoffs. When a small third-party testing team is assigned to Blade Skill Online, a highly anticipated VR MMORPG, they discover that some bugs are more serious than others—and some truly insidious features are "working as intended."

Fate Unraveled

Rustpen

F22/100
Haoyujin Jieyuan was born for greatness — of that, if nothing else, he's certain. In a ruthless world where power is everything and might makes right, there's only one path he can take, no matter how painful it promises to be. When Jieyuan joins the Gleaming Stone Sect, he does so intending to outstrip everyone else and quickly ascend through the ranks. Instead, he ends up in third place in the entrance trials, grossly overshadowed. He remains undeterred — until he mysteriously regains memories of a previous life after a failed assassination attempt. Realizing there's something big going on beneath the surface of the world, Jieyuan reevaluates his priorities and sets his sights much farther. Setting down this path might mean pitting himself against Fate itself, but nothing ventured is nothing gained.

Maximum Intimidation Knight

D.N. Newyn

F22/100
Sir Henry Hildebraud of Mostenstein is the last of the Knights of Saint Merin — and the most useless of a useless lot. In a world full of magic, he has none. When a rock falls on his head and grants him a system, he expects salvation. What he gets is a hundredfold multiplier on his Intimidation stat, an attribute he never wanted and cannot turn off. Every time Henry speaks, he involuntarily threatens to massacre the local populace. Left with no choice but to pretend he is the most dangerous man alive, he sets out to find the woman rumored to hold the key to restoring the Order of Saint Merin — who is, by all accounts, a total weirdo. A comedy of accidental terror, knightly honor, and a progression system built entirely around downsides.
