[Dungeon-Core] [LitRPG] [Base-building]
A journey that began with a simple wish, taken horribly out of context. One ordinary life, one offhand desire for excitement, and suddenly our heroine finds herself in another world — as a slime.
Thrown into the world with nary a leg to stand on, she surmounts increasingly difficult odds, battles with such heavy topics as "Is it really safe to eat this?" and "How am I supposed to slay a wyvern!?", and contemplates the existential question of whether this shade of pink makes her slime look fat.
Will she become a savior, or this world's very own Demon Queen?
John, a 37-year-old widower, is feeling lost. Grief, regret, and the weight of the past push him to long for something new. When he discovers a way to travel between worlds through dimensional Gates, he takes it.
His class has the potential to be overpowered, but he's not in it for fights, fame, or power. He moves at his own pace — healing, helping out when he feels like it, and keeping track of it all in a kind of diary. It's more about the journey than the destination, about magic and new places and figuring out how to live again.
This is a slower-paced LitRPG written in a semi-journal style, focusing as much on the inner journey as the outer one.

When an ordinary girl finds herself stuck in the stilettos of this bloodthirsty character from a novel, she's dead set on avoiding the gory trail. Sure, she's never hurt a fly before, but when your new body is a walking arsenal, keeping calm and carrying on gets a whole lot harder.
Jack never heard of a transmat malfunction stranding someone in another dimension — but here he is, trudging through the snow in his mining overalls after stepping onto one transmat pad and never stepping off the other. The air is breathable, the trees look like oak, and somewhere in the distance there's a fire that probably isn't natural.
If this dimension has trees native to Earth, it probably has humans too. And Jack is going to find them — one way or another.
All Pete wanted was to be buried in wine grapes. Instead he finds himself in a fantasy world, far from home, stuck underground in the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair—and surrounded by swill that has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut.
A cozy slice-of-life story about one man's quest to save the dwarves from their own terrible taste in beer, with love, laughter, and a little melancholy mixed in.

Alone in an unfamiliar world and hunted by all of humanity, he takes on the alias of Lutz and uses his gaming knowledge to quickly adapt to the world's strangely game-like mechanics.
A single slip is all it takes. But the consequences of falling from a rock wall are usually broken bones — not waking up in the body of a dragon. When a young bouldering instructor finds herself transported to a strange new world inside a powerful, black-scaled frame, she'll have to rethink all the rules.
Adopting the name Draka, the newly minted dragoness begins to explore the forests, mountains, and villages surrounding the city of Karakan.

Emi, on the other hand, was reborn alone in a strange forest in the body of an owl, and has a rather different set of priorities: recovering a pair of arms, reuniting with old friends, and funding her endeavors by passing off Earth's music as her own.
They are far from alone. The natural disaster that claimed their former lives took many of their fellow university students with them, each carrying their own dreams and baggage into the Growing World. Watch as they take their first steps, gradually reshaping their new home — and being reshaped by it in return.
