JollyJupiter

Academy of Outcasts

Larry Correia

A77/100
All Oz Carnavon ever wanted was to become a master mage. But doing so requires the natural gifts or wealth needed to secure an appointment to one of the prestigious magical academies in the Core City at the center of the seven realms — and Oz had neither. Born without magical talent, he's been serving in the nightmarish elemental plane of fire, where life is cheap and escape is rare. When Oz fakes his death to escape his family's contract and sneaks into the Core, everything seems to be going according to plan — until he gets blamed for an assassination attempt on the fire realm's ambassador. Now a fugitive in a vast magical city, he must earn a place among the magical academies that have nothing but disdain for his kind. And the clock is ticking: the most dangerous wizard in the realm of fire is coming to track him down.

Law of the Jungle

Vasily Mahanenko

A76/100
Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but shapes the lives of men. Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality — yet this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental truth: power grants privilege. What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world? Is it his destiny to reach unimaginable heights, or to vanish into the abyss of mediocrity — just another forgotten face in a crowd of millions?

Dakota Krout, Dennis Vanderkerken

A76/100
After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken, an old man is out for revenge. He is ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation. Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him it was impossible — then quietly ignored them and started anyway. He had always failed at everything: lost his way from the academy, lost his command to a Mage, lost his town. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate — no matter what it cost him.
