Simon wants change. Reform. Revolution. He'd do anything to achieve it.

Mech Wars

Scott Bartlett

F21/100
Stranded in a hostile galaxy and exiled from humanity, Darkstream Security's elite troops carved out a foothold on Eresos — until the Quatro came back in numbers they didn't know existed, with artillery they didn't think the aliens could use. To survive, humanity needs a new weapon: mechs. But as the war escalates, darker forces emerge — the Progenitors, a true enemy that Darkstream has been selling the system's security to all along. A seaman named Jake Price is the only one willing to fight out of duty rather than money.

Blighted: A Plague Rat's Tale

Notsae

F20/100
Waking up as a reviled vector of plague, a nihilistic, power-hungry sociopath attempts to free themselves from the shackles of mortality and time. In a world racked with war, crime, and unfocused violence — partially fueled by a system that encourages random acts of senseless violence — one little rat seeks to murder his way to the top of the food chain. Betrayal, mass murder, war, a curse from the dead gods, unfettered magical experimentation, slavery, rampaging monsters, and a raging holy war have rendered this world a violent hellhole: perfect for a violent opportunist to thrive in.

The Sixth Campaign

K.J. Licht

F20/100
Grant Leeman is an eighteen-year-old inn worker who never expected much from life — certainly not to be selected for the Sixth Campaign, an intergalactic war that wasn't due for another thirty-five years. Now he must learn to adapt fast. There's a Store he can use to buy godlike powers, but everything costs Points, and commoners like Grant rarely get many. Survival may depend on a lucky roll of the dice — or on being very good at hiding. A weak-to-strong progression story with a focus on characters, worldbuilding, and prose, building slowly toward large-scale conflict.

Myriad Rivers to the Sea

Waspark.Writer

F20/100
In a world where an awakened spirit determines your starting point, Li Yu awakens a low-grade blood-red Koi fish — a Grade One, Inferior spirit fit only for a decorative pond. Mocked and with no future in his village, he discovers his "useless" Koi possesses a divine ability: it can devour the spiritual energy and life essence of any aquatic lifeform. To cultivate this power, Li Yu forsakes the path of a glorious disciple and takes the most despised job at the prestigious Green Mountain Sect — fish farmer in the Aquatic Beast Pens. Surrounded by cultivation resources only he can access, he begins a path of silent, hidden growth. Armed with two heaven-sent techniques, he navigates treacherous sect politics from the lowest rung, his growing power concealed behind the aura of a simple fish. While others see a quiet, hardworking orphan, he is an unseen predator in a tranquil pond — patiently absorbing the power to one day become a leviathan that can swallow the seas.

How to Heal a Soul

S.Kasper

F20/100
Growing up in an orphanage, Valar never dared to dream of something greater — grand adventures and endless wealth always seemed out of reach. But awakening to his magic far earlier than his peers changes everything. Armed with both life magic and a peculiar fire that burns him as readily as his enemies, Valar sets out to become a healer on his own terms. To do that, he'll need to grow stronger, which means killing beasts, which means adventuring. A slow-burn fantasy series built on a power system rooted in the soul, where ranks mark major milestones rather than endless stat screens, and every cost of pushing past your limits is real — if not always immediately visible.
