When Muchen wakes up as an orphan living a hardscrabble life in a world of magical kung fu, he immediately sets his sights on the obvious goal: get rich.

Unfortunately, on the Qianzhan Continent, it takes a clever mind to earn a fortune — but it takes strength to keep it.

Applied Cultivation

CatVI

B63/100
They called him trash — until he put the Dao under the microscope. When demons slaughter his new family, computer scientist Johan — now reborn as Yu Han — survives by pure wit. He gains access to the mysterious system that all cultivators use to defy the heavens. But it won't be enough. Betrayed and stripped of everything, his only path forward is joining a prestigious immortal sect. Before he can even step inside, he slaps the faces of two powerful young masters. Yu Han should have no path forward — but in his past life he was a corporate warfare consultant who treated business rivals like failed hypotheses to be mercilessly eliminated. Trash talent? He'll prototype his own. Watch this blood-thirsty fatty sprint toward immortality, bringing algorithms to sword fights and treating cultivation like a hostile takeover.

Persimmon

B63/100
The Scientist cared only for the Truth. His brilliant career was thrown into doubt because fools could not see what was before their eyes.

But the System is the key to finding the Truth. Now going by the name Orion Voidwalker, he will use his scientific knowledge to reach heights previously thought impossible, even as chaos spreads through the Cyril Magocracy and not everyone is content to watch him discard dogma in his quest.

Lost in Love

OrderMaster

B63/100
My name is Alexander Halesworth, sole heir to a prestigious ducal house — or rather, that's what my identity is supposed to be now. Not long ago I was just a humble store clerk. But shortly after getting into an unfortunate road accident, I woke up in the setting of an infamous Otome Game called "Lost in Love: A Heart Throbbing Romance in a Fantasy World~!" This situation wouldn't be too bad, except I ended up in the body of the worst possible person: the villainess' older brother. Alexander has great looks, near limitless wealth, and a thoroughly rotten personality. In most of the game's endings I end up dead or exiled. My family also falls to ruin. Well, whatever. If that's the hand fate dealt me, then I just have to prevent the bad ends. And if I have no choice but to deal with this family's baggage, I may as well enjoy myself while I'm at it.

House of the Dragon: Aegon's Infinite Class Tree

Deep__aureate

B63/100
When a game developer from modern-day Earth wakes in the body of Prince Aegon Targaryen — the long-forgotten third son of Baelon the Brave — he expects a swift, bloody end in the shadows of his more famous brothers. But fate has other plans. Aegon remembers everything: dragons, fire, politics, and the unfinished class tree system he'd been coding at the time of his death. Somehow, it lives within him now. Each decision grants him access to traits and abilities no Targaryen has ever wielded: [Pyromancer], [Demon Knight], and secrets yet to be unlocked. As the Seven Kingdoms groan under the weight of scheming lords and rising dragons, Aegon walks a knife's edge — with a mind sharpened by two lifetimes and power drawn from beyond the known world.

Instead of moving on to the afterlife, Watkins wakes up as something different — he has been reborn as the core of a war-ravaged starship and must work to repair his vessel if he wants to find his way home. Threats to his new existence abound, both in the darkness of space and lurking aboard the ruined hulk of the ship he now commands. 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.

Isekaid into another world, the protagonist arrives armed with genre savviness and a determination to twist every cliché to his benefit. Cockroach villains? Dealt with before they become a problem. Trash young masters? Avoided and handled quietly. Damsels in distress? Not his responsibility. A power fantasy built around a hardcore internet citizen who knows every trope in the book — and uses that knowledge to carve a path from weak to unstoppably strong.

Axiom of Infinity: Souleater

TSeris

B62/100
"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work?" Axiom of Infinity follows several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives in a world where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, dungeons lurk everywhere, and the gods themselves appear to be playing a very different game — one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by a third, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations. The unsuspecting natives of this world are about to learn to live alongside a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet-wielding gamers who do what they do best: break things.

Madness Re-Incarnate

Travis Bagwell

B62/100
Nyx was born Hollow — an empty vessel in a world of spirits, normally a death sentence. Somehow he survived. In a previous life he did something reckless: he threw his memories into the Flow from which all spirits return, sending himself a message across the boundary of death. Now those memories have found him. A different kind of reincarnation story — one that isn't easy — featuring a slow burn to power, a gradual system introduction, a loot-based skill modification system, and a cast of deeply strange companions.
