Titan Online

Steven Kelliher

F22/100
Karna was just like any other comic book fan, and in Titan Online — the most popular VR MMORPG going — he finally got to live out his cape-donning fantasies. That is, until the game's number one "hero" killed him: a man who serves only himself in a constant grind for money, fame, and adoration. Forced to start from scratch, Karna finds a new mission: bringing balance back to Titan Online. With a strange new power and unlikely allies, he hatches a plan to save the game and get a little revenge. When the heroes can't be trusted, it's up to the villains to save the virtual world.

Warlock Chronicles

Victor Alucard

F22/100
Dan used to work at a Psychic Agency, making a living by swindling naive clients — until a group of thugs paid him a visit and the world decided it had had enough of humanity. Those who survived the Apocalypse were forced to fight for their lives. Dan didn't become the gray-bearded wizard he'd always hoped to be. Instead, he was forced to start his new life from the very beginning — in the primordial waters, full of algae and unicellular organisms. The goal: evolve and reach the land. Perhaps he should have paid more attention in biology class.

Craft the Planet

Kos

F22/100
In a broken 1930s New York where magic hides behind skyscrapers and monsters lurk in the shadows, thirteen-year-old Oliver Evans has nothing but a sharp mind, a starving stomach, and an impossible new power: the ability to Analyze anything. A bloodstain teaches him chemistry. A loaf of bread reveals magical cooking. A mysterious book hints at bags larger on the inside, living shadows, and a hidden world of guilds buried beneath the city he thought he knew. But magic has rules. Guilds hoard power. Monsters roam unseen. And orphan boys from Manhattan aren't supposed to change the world. Armed with curiosity, stubborn optimism, and an ever-growing collection of bizarre crafting skills, Oliver begins clawing his way upward one invention at a time — cooking magical meals, building impossible items, uncovering ancient systems hidden beneath Earth itself, and gathering allies ranging from eccentric craftsmen to dangerous outcasts marked by society.

Death's Disciple

TT.Reynolds

F22/100
Sometimes it's the villain who has to be the hero. As Dungeons begin to open across Earth, Adam Pierce survives by facing blood, brutality, and murder — and he walks out of the Tutorial as the disciple of Death itself. When it's discovered that these Dungeons are handing immense power to anyone ruthless enough to take it, Adam sees the catastrophe before anyone else: humanity is greedy and weak, and without something to unite the species, it will kill itself. So Adam decides he will unite the world himself, by becoming the Villain of the System Apocalypse. It means he is hated — but humanity thrives while he wades through betrayal and murder. Because something far worse than the Dungeons is on its way, and Earth will need to be ready.

A Dragon Called Bob

Milc

F22/100
Being isekai'd into the body of a dragon whose only task is to guard and grow a pile of shiny treasure seemed like a win to Bob. Flight, Might, Bite — and all it cost him was dying? Fair trade. There's even a dungeon core as a bonus to his starting pile of treasure. Unfortunately, his dungeon sprite is a borderline-psychotic 1,200-year-old pixie from a cultivation world who just missed out on becoming a god. She isn't happy about interning for a lizard. The challenges are endless for a newly hatched dragon: idiots with magic swords looking to take his head, a dungeon to grow, a burning desire to expand his hoard — and the uncomfortable need to become a better person before the next downgrade arrives.

In the world of cultivation, talent is everything — and for Lu Chen, it was his greatest failure. After a lifetime of playing high-stakes strategy games on Earth, he wakes up as the Sect Leader of the Coiling Dragon Sect. It's a prestigious title hiding a crumbling ruin: mediocre disciples and a leader stuck at Foundation Establishment with zero hope of breakthrough. But his transmigration came with a gift — Truth Seeker's Gaze. With a single glance, flawed cultivation manuals reveal themselves as masterpieces, worthless spirit stones become hidden gems, and a mortal servant girl the world writes off as talentless is exposed as a monster with a Dormant True Dragon Bloodline and a Sacred Cosmic Bone. While other Sect Leaders chase after genius disciples, Lu Chen begins his Trash Collection. He doesn't need to be the strongest cultivator — he just needs to hold the leashes of the monsters he's about to unleash.

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.
