Dungeon Core TV

Michael Anderle, Michael Todd

S85/100
The aliens didn't conquer Earth — they negotiated exclusive streaming rights instead. The powerful Voltaxians, whose empire is fueled by a monopoly on mana, offered humanity a deal: allow dungeons controlled by intelligent dungeon cores to be set up on Earth to generate mana, and they'd share the wealth. Now dungeon exploration is the world's hottest career, broadcast around the world and across the galaxy via Dungeon Core TV. Luther Miller, a finance guy who had no interest in dungeon diving, is about to discover that family honor and intergalactic revenge can intertwine in the dark depths of the dungeon.

The Mortality Doctrine

James Dashner

S85/100
Michael is a gamer who spends almost more time on the VirtNet than in the real world — a total-immersion virtual reality that's equal parts playground and addiction. But when reports emerge of a hacker holding players hostage inside the VirtNet, leaving victims brain-dead, the government comes looking for someone who can fight back. They've been watching Michael. But going off-grid means venturing into back alleys of the system human eyes have never seen — and risking the line between game and reality blurring forever.

The Immortals' Mask

Jay Krauss

S85/100
Sataou was not chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect earned through quiet dedication rather than burning ambition. His Void affinity demanded emotional control — and the world refused to let him stay whole. When that balance shatters, what remains loses what makes it human. This is not a tale of ascension. It is the story of what is lost along the way — and the rise of a man who will stop at nothing to sever the chains of a captive world.

Earthen Contenders

Jonathan Brooks

S85/100
Against his will, Thaden was transported along with millions of other humans from Earth to train as Contenders in a new world. Something went wrong during his transfer — he was ejected from the training program and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano. Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden survived, only to find himself alone in a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and a Support-based Healer class with no offensive capabilities whatsoever. None of his spells do damage; he can't even pick up a weapon. But Thaden quickly discovers something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive — because he seemingly will never run out of Mana.

Path of the Berserker

Rick Scott

S85/100
When cultivators came to Earth they destroyed human civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and the moon turned red and filled the world with monsters. Now, over a decade later, what is left of humanity slaves under the heels of Qi-infused masters. One man wants none of it. Sick of serving and determined to make the cultivators pay, he is found by a fearsome goddess who shows him a different path — one that does not rely on Qi. Through blood, sweat, and pain, he will fight to take back the planet and free humanity, or die trying. That is the Path of a Berserker.

A84/100
Domenic is a sailor who wants nothing more than a life at sea. A brewing war between nations turns the already dangerous seas into something far more perilous, forcing him into an untenable position — one he escapes with his life, though at a greater cost he'll spend the rest of the story reckoning with. A story about the meaning and cost of both servitude and freedom.

Blaise Corvin

Miles "Shrug" Lindstrom received a quest years ago — he was the only person who could see the window, and in addition to the quest, he could also see a countdown to the end of the world. Part of him hoped he was just insane. Then the countdown stops, and what happens is nothing like he could have imagined. Miles prepared for almost any scenario, but a world full of monsters wasn't one of them. Will finishing his strange quest help him survive the chaos?

Courting Death

Blue Moon 13

A84/100
Martin Zheng has always held dying hands and listened for the hush that comes after the final heartbeat. It's his gift, his burden — until the night he gives his own life to shove a child away from speeding headlights and awakens in Death's embrace. She is Thanara: silver-haired, star-eyed, lonelier than the long darkness she guides. For one stolen moment, two caretakers share a tenderness deeper than fear. Then the cosmos declares his death "an error" and hurls him back to existence. Reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm — where sword-saints carve mountains and power is measured in the lives you can end — Martin remembers only fragments: a scent of rain-drenched lilacs, a pulse in his chest, a promise to meet Death again. While rival sects chase immortality, he walks the forbidden Dao of Death, mastering the grace of endings so he can stand beside the woman no one dares to love.

Creation's Bane

Kevin Sinclair

A84/100
Running a restaurant was hard, but it filled Clive's life with meaning — running through a portal was easy, but it filled his life with demons. Weak in a world full of strength, Clive and his friends rely on grit and determination as they navigate a brutal, war-torn land of magic in search of a way home. There is a problem, though: Clive's been cursed. A demonic knife wound catapults them into a race against time to find a cure, fighting their way across Falritas in need of friends and levels like there's no tomorrow. Set in a chaotic land ruled by ruthless gods, complete with game mechanics, a progression system, and empire-building, where demons, werewolves, dwarves, and elves roam.

Cultivation Nerd

HolyMouse

A84/100
Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to shatter the arrogance of young masters and fight anyone who got in his way. Unfortunately, he died — and now finds himself in that world for real. Jade-like beauties? No thanks, he'd rather study the magical energy. Young masters and life-and-death battles? He'd rather read books on cultivation and master techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

Blood & Fur

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

A84/100
A new emperor rules each year in Yohuachanca. Only the most delicious food graces his palate, the realm's most beautiful women fill his harem, his palace dazzles the mind — and at the year's end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon. Iztac is a pisspoor orphan and this year's emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar. But the vampires have made a mistake: Iztac is a sorcerer whose soul can journey into the secret underworld to plunder the spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. He has a year to find it — or perish for good. He may not be the first emperor, but he will be the last.

With the bullet-core stuck in his skull marking him as a Gunsoul, he can finally teach these arrogant cultivators a lesson they'll never forget. But revenge isn't easily claimed. To carve out a path through the wasteland, Yuan must face power-hungry sects, nuclear cultivators, and weapon-gods. No one will bury him again.
