Tyrants of Earth

Purveilor

C58/100
All Ryan ever wanted was to become an adventurer — quests, skills, quirky teammates, and posting exploits on Realmnet. Instead he's broke, working at a Manaburger, and System slots cost more than his paycheck times ten thousand. Then he gets shot. Then the Trial System chooses him. What follows is a cascade of catastrophes: clashing with authority figures, stabbing a sword prodigy in a deathmatch, and getting blacklisted from the Adventurer's Guild before he's even started. Suddenly Ryan is no longer just a fry cook — he's a rare Destined, tasked with figuring out how to save not one, but two worlds. In a world ruled by Tyrants, Ryan must navigate between Earth and The Realm, where the line between villain and hero adventurer is mostly just attitude.

Accidental Healer

Avyck3721

C57/100
Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead he woke up in a nightmare. Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class — Healer. That's when things start feeling off. He's leveling far too fast, and his so-called support class feels anything but weak. His only ally is a too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal. Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

World Tree Apocalypse: A Pilot In Another World LitRPG

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C57/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper. A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

Hundred Kingdoms

Michael R. Miller

Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he's fighting for his life. When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players — but in a worse predicament than most.

Playing a low-level profession-based Scavenger class, Jack must craft gear, set traps, and forge uneasy alliances with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can't fully trust — racing against time to save himself and the millions of players held hostage.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game

Michael Dale

C57/100
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world's deepest dungeon — an immortal ancient dragon, and terribly bored. His only amusement comes from scrying on adventurer teams in the upper levels. When he hears of a new magic item called a Virmo that projects one's mind into a grand-scale game, he dispatches a minion to acquire one. He logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of "science" and "technology," and embarks on a new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class.

Immovable Mage

ImmovableMage

C57/100
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in mana foundation management awes everyone — making the eventual disappointment all the greater when Terry proves to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis: major aspect impairment, no cure. Faced with expulsion, Terry finds unexpected kindness that costs him his academy place but gives him a home with a caring family. Resigned to exploring mana cultivation, he never stops searching for his own path as a mage — day after day, season after season — looking for compatible spellwork. All to finally find the only spell he can cast. A journey to discover that even a narrow path of magic can lead to the territory of legends.

Lunatic Sword

RabZ YT

C57/100
Some live by the sword — Alex is imprisoned by it. Not that he's complaining; he likes swords. In a world of swords and sorcery, some are born with divine blessings that lead them to challenge the heavens, while others are punished by fate and forced into suffering. For Alex, it's all irrelevant. As long as he has his sword, every tragedy is a joy and every obstacle is just more time to polish his blade. There's nothing that can't be solved with a good sword cut — unless the enemy is a ghost, in which case he'll need a church. A battle-focused progression story with a sword-obsessed protagonist whose genius is strictly limited to swordsmanship.

Unclassed: A Skill Merging LitRPG

Silverdawn

C57/100
Raised as an orphan in Flea's End, Adam dreamed of wealth and luxury, working every day toward saving enough for the offering that would earn him a rare and desirable Class. Then that dream was stolen from him. Offered only pitiful classes, Adam rejects them all and becomes a weak, worthless Unclassed. His one advantage: a unique inventory skill called Hoard, which lets him store and combine items, skills, and even power — assuming he's willing to fight for them. Adam has five years until his next selection, and plans to grow so strong that the class of his dreams becomes a laughable step down. His first step: joining the Rift Delving Association. His next: entering hell.

Emie Ascended

Braided Sky

C57/100
After centuries of struggle, Emie is the first from Earth to reach the pinnacle and ascend into an entirely different realm — a question she had wondered about ever since magic and progression became reality. Granted a boon and given advantages the natives can only dream of, Emie and her fellow Ascenders must rebuild their power from scratch in this new realm. Determined to make the most of the fresh start, Emie must find allies and begin her climb anew — except this time, she plans to actually live her life instead of focusing solely on progression.

Ace of Capes

kayday

C57/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

Mark of Time: A LitRPG Timeloop

Krazekode

Jennifer was ready to enter Lienmont's Mage Academy — the place she'd been aspiring to reach for years. What she hadn't expected was to be dragged into the city's dungeon, where a trial of life and death left a Mark seared onto not just her body, but her very soul. When she escaped, she found her city in flames, monstrous invaders slaughtering everyone — including her. When Jennifer closed her eyes, she was certain her life had taken an unfair and tragic turn. But then she opened them, and none of it had ever happened. The only proof she hadn't gone mad was the Mark on her hand, burning with an inner fire. In a trial of gods where eight Marks compete to find unseen treasures, a ninth has appeared: one with the power to revert time.

Rogue Cultivator

Alex Karne (TheDeliciousMeats)

C56/100
It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a truck — then it's an isekai LitRPG. Zane is a young man with the Chef class, questionable morals, and a rapidly growing collection of pet spirit beasts. Pinky is a kitsune out for fortune and fun. Using nothing but friendship, murderous pets, and overpowered techniques, they must climb a divine mountain to claim their reward — or die trying. Too bad they have already managed to enrage a powerful sect of cultivators. Apparently the elders don't appreciate having their disciples turned into pet food.

When his hunt goes sideways and he discovers he can harness the power of the Sparked, Caldor is ready to battle his way to the top. But magic, adventure, and a dose of unwanted politics await — and the world has far greater plans for him than a simple adventuring life.
