These Reincarnators Are Sus! Sleuthing in Another World

AceGreen

B67/100
Sleuth out the reincarnators. Retrieve their jeweled eyes. Stop this world's destruction. That is Ailn's reluctant mission — except he is not really Ailn. He is an impostor: a detective from another world who cannot even remember his own name. Summoned by a young god with a terrible habit of hiding crucial details, the detective must use his past-life instincts and emerald eyes to unmask other reincarnators — all while wearing a mask of his own. Now posing as a noble son whose family has protected the empire from shadow beasts for generations, he faces a complication: the original Ailn had a trash reputation, was just killed, and the prime suspect is his sister, the duchy's beloved future Saintess. First things first: time to solve his own murder.

Harry Potter and the Surprisingly Competent History of Magic Professor

TheFanficGOD

B66/100
Cassian Rosier is a near-Squib from one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families — the family's punching bag, mocked and barely tolerated. When a simple light spell becomes his last chance to prove himself, his world shatters: the Cassian they knew is gone, replaced by a man from our world with no magic but a lifetime of teaching behind him, and only the vaguest memories of a "Harry Potter" series he never bothered to read. Trapped in a ruined reputation with no real power, the new Cassian has one goal: survive. When forced to lecture on magic, he bluffs his way through by teaching Lumos — a spell he doesn't know. Something strange happens: as hundreds of students learn from his lecture, mastery floods his mind. Ancient variations awaken, along with memories that don't belong to him — some illuminating forgotten magic, others sharp, dark, and dangerous. Sent to Hogwarts as a professor, Cassian must juggle pureblood family expectations, faculty suspicion, and a power that grows every time he teaches — while wondering whether he is drawing on ancient wisdom or inviting something far worse into himself.

Master, This Poor Disciple Died Again Today

Noct

B66/100
In the midst of faking his death, Xiao Hui finds himself transmigrated into a cultivation world. With great hopes for what is to come, he gets taken in by a sect and chosen by a powerful master — except his master seems to have a hole in his brain. As a weakling who recognizes his place in the world, Xiao Hui faces certain death at every turn. So why fight it? He does what he does best: fake it, duck the fallout, and somehow claw his way to the top through a combination of cleverness and enthusiastic self-preservation. A xianxia comedy in the vein of A Will Eternal and Spirit Blade Mountain — neither grimdark nor fluffy, but woven through with both silly and intense moments.

Mahael the Divine

Robert Blaise

B66/100
Humanity lost an ancient interdimensional war. Now demons, commanded by devil overlords, are exterminating human existence. In a final act of desperation, angels banish a lone world into a starless, lifeless corner of the universe — just out of demonic reach. All they need is a selfless soul willing to become the Final Guardian: an entity whose entire existence is devoted to postponing humanity's end. They get a volunteer. He is no saint. Sadly for the demons, he is something far worse. Every time he dies, he revives. Every time he aids humanity, he grows stronger. There is no winning against an infinitely vast demon army — but he just might be crazy enough to keep losing indefinitely.

The Discarded, Half-Eaten Apple Core New Life.

MDW

B66/100
The world ended. The Apocalypse opened the gates of Hell, demons killed everyone — including me. But I got a second chance at life. As an apple. Which was eaten by a starving survivor, not that I fault them. But to toss my half-eaten core into a landfill? Then an earthquake buried the landfill a mile underground. No sunlight, no water, and I'm pretty sure the apple I was reincarnated into was a GMO hybrid with no real chance of germinating. Then: **DING** — SYSTEM INITIATION!

Tavern Cat

PrimalSoup

B65/100
Dying and being reborn in a fantasy world as a hero destined to kill the Demon King is some people's greatest dream. Others, however, may prefer to sit around, relax, take a few naps, and ignore the impending doom. And if such a hero gets reborn as a cat, what's going to stop them from doing exactly that? Finding a warm tavern home filled with food, gossip, and comfort sounds a whole lot easier than putting in the work to stop a war.

Soulshard: Willbender

pyrowind

B65/100
Real Fantasy Online is the flagship product for the latest generation of neural-interface headsets, promising total immersion and the best NPC AIs ever created. But when the line between one's real self and one's digital identity becomes blurred, and the gods have their own agenda, who is the player and which is the game? Marcus has played any number of VR games and beta-tested dangerous systems. He usually disdains pre-order perks, but this time the bonus — the ability to craft your character's backstory and have it integrated into the game's lore — is too tempting to pass up. He opts to make a character purely for fun, with no interest in being all-powerful. Things aren't quite what they seem, however, and his backstory and character class have implications he never would have imagined.

The Breath of Creation

Infamous Goose

B65/100
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the known universes and given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, they are free to interact with each other—and with whatever lurks in the depths of the Abyss, the Void, and the Primordial Chaos. One of those souls navigates the overwhelming demands of divine stewardship: raising mortals into an immortal army, managing squabbling children, and maintaining the balance between all realms of existence. Being a deity, it turns out, is incredibly complicated.

With a lifetime of naval service experience to draw upon, Captain Watkins must become something more than he was before — a vessel powerful enough to survive the journey home.

Sporemageddon

RavensDagger

B65/100
Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine it can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger to accomplish the goal that brought them there: save nature from the system the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good — but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.

How I Was Accidentally Summoned in a Cult as the Demon Princess

North Drake

B65/100
Lily Carter juggles lectures, convenience store night shifts, and a secret life as Lilithia Nocturne — a top-ranked demon princess in the VRMMORPG Xantia. Then a robbery, a gunshot, and blackout. She wakes on cold stone in a glowing blood circle, wearing Lilithia's regal armor and horns for real. A bargain-bin cult calling itself the Children of the Abyss summoned her on purpose — by accident. They wanted a real demoness, not a nerdy girl cosplaying one. They're incompetent, fanatical, and inconveniently the only people who don't want to burn a demon on sight. Lily plans to humor them, learn the world, and bail. Instead, rumors snowball, idiots congregate, and an accidental empire starts forming in her name.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children — simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world: a place with culture, economics, and politics, inhabited by people with their own passions, goals, and prejudices. What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself in a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility — but not all of those possibilities are good?

He wakes at the bottom of a different tower, surrounded by strangers in a strange city — his entire life reset. With only a mysterious tile mosaic as a clue, Sorin must navigate his new reality. If he wants answers to what was done to him, there is only one path forward: he must climb again.

Neon Dragons

LunaWolve

B65/100
Everyone is obsessed with Neon Dragons — the latest highly immersive cyberpunk aRPG from Sparksoft. But when our late-twenties protagonist's PC broke days before the game's release, all she could do was watch content creators play through it, limiting her knowledge to what she saw in those playthroughs. Things change drastically when she wakes up inside the body of a 15-year-old girl inside the city of Neo Avalis, six years into the game's past. She can level herself just like a character in the game, and with everything she's read and watched about Neon Dragons, she sets her sights on solving the mystery of the enigmatic Wall at the edge of the play-area. But she quickly realizes that this game is very real — life in a cyberpunk future is full of danger and intrigue, and the world has some surprising differences from the game she watched.

A Tyrant, Sort Of

B64/100
Sable didn't know what she'd expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard wasn't it. Thrust into a magic-filled fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, things aren't entirely great: there are hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal undead legion to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms that want the first dragon in centuries dead. What's more, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats make her stronger the more gold she has and the more people fear her — which explains why dragons in the past were such unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less evil ways to progress. What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be?
