Markets and Multiverses

Acaswell

C59/100
When Isabelle and her new friends are thrust into the world of transmigrators, it seems like a blessing. Their new status grants them access to the myriad worlds of the multiverse, the ability to grow stronger, and near-immortality — as long as they don't make a fatal mistake. Every world offers unique magic systems and discoveries. But between each life, they must return to the Market — once the most powerful civilization in the multiverse, now a desiccated ruin with its inhabitants slaughtered by unknown forces. If Isabelle and her friends wish to avoid the same fate, they must grow powerful enough to survive whatever destroyed it.

Tyrants of Earth

Purveilor

C59/100
All Ryan ever wanted was to become an adventurer — quests, skills, quirky teammates, and posting exploits on Realmnet. Instead he's broke, working at a Manaburger, and System slots cost more than his paycheck times ten thousand. Then he gets shot. Then the Trial System chooses him. What follows is a cascade of catastrophes: clashing with authority figures, stabbing a sword prodigy in a deathmatch, and getting blacklisted from the Adventurer's Guild before he's even started. Suddenly Ryan is no longer just a fry cook — he's a rare Destined, tasked with figuring out how to save not one, but two worlds. In a world ruled by Tyrants, Ryan must navigate between Earth and The Realm, where the line between villain and hero adventurer is mostly just attitude.

Unfathomable Senior

Kuropon

Path of the Last Champion

TheWanderingWind

C59/100
Nar was born in darkness and was meant to die there — a slave, shackled by a sin long forgotten, doomed to a life beneath the surface. His eyes were never meant to see the Infinite Nexus or the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System. But he made the choice few sinners dare: to Climb. Now he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, conceal a secret that could destroy his party, and achieve the impossible to save his dying father. With every step toward the City Without End, Nar unknowingly draws to a close a play that has spanned eternities — and no one is expecting him.

Dungeon's Path

akhier the dragon hearted

C59/100
So the world ended. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced. Not this time — all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale. The local universe wasn't actually stable; what everyone took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake, and when the dam busted, so did everything. Magic is real, qi is real, gods are real — not on old Earth, but souls pay little attention to time and space, so humanity dreamed of it. The closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer those dreams got to the new reality. Reality became a video game. And Doyle Huxley became a dungeon. Doyle just wanted a normal life, but some early paths he takes — both literally and figuratively — lead him to becoming a dungeon core. This is his story.

That Which Devours

jerpatch

C59/100
Alex thought a colony ship crashing into a dinosaur-infested jungle was bad enough. Everyone else received a class from the mysterious System ruling this brutal universe — but Alex's Class Selection never arrives. To top it off, a meteor shower forces down the supply shuttle, leaving her and her brother stranded with food running out. Just when all hope seems lost, it finally happens: Class Selection. And with it, a Legendary Class: Devourer. But what the heck is a Devourer, and why does this power feel so ravenous — making her brother smell less like family and more like a tasty meal? Alex embarks on a perilous trek through the wilderness to reach the compound for supplies. As the dinosaurs close in with her brother's life hanging in the balance, she must master abilities she barely understands or succumb to a world that feeds on the weak.

Monarch

Extra27

C58/100
Rayne was a bastard — the only son of the fallen Duke Frayser, cast aside to die in an army that hated him for being alive. Then a soul from Earth took over his body. With the common class of a Soldier, a Lineage Quest to complete, and a unique trait for stealing skills, he must grow strong enough to survive a gritty world. Fighting goblins, trolls, and necromancers, he works to earn reputation and prestige in a kingdom that branded his bloodline as traitors — with kingdom building waiting in later volumes.

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future

RE Druin

C58/100
Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage invented a video game to train people on Earth for a coming catastrophe. The gods seized the opportunity to take the templates — and even the souls — of some of those characters for use in other worlds. Sama Rantha is one of those characters. Being a Hagchild and surviving after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your race at level one on a gamescreen. Book One follows Sama's Road to Ten in a traditional LitRPG fantasy setting, heavy with gaming terms and rules-lawyering as she min-maxes her heart out to survive a world intent on killing her. Book Two shifts to a sci-fi/fantasy/psionics mashup as Sama is sent into a grim dark galaxy she'd rather not be in — but the heart of a powergamer never says no.

MADMAN APOCALYPSE

Dosei

C58/100
The whole world has gone mad, so it's a good thing that Gambit is already insane. Locked away in a padded room, Gambit watches as the world goes to hell — blood rains from the sky, screams echo through the city, and monsters tear through reality. The world transforms overnight into the GREAT GAME: an apocalyptic battleground where monsters hunt, dungeons materialize, and the System destroys everything humanity once knew, all for the entertainment of an unseen audience. Armed with nothing but his fists, a talking plushie named Panda, and a glitched character Class that shouldn't exist, Gambit fights his way out of the asylum. But his existence triggers alerts across the GREAT GAME, drawing the attention of its agents who hunt players that don't follow the rules. In a world where insanity transforms humans into the very monsters they fear, Gambit's fractured mind becomes his deadliest weapon.

Dragons, catgirls, guns, and magic — plus the ability to stop time. A modern woman finds herself in a fantasy world with a mysterious past she'd rather keep locked away on Earth. She has goals, though: first, play with magic. Last, find a way home before the world ends. A LitRPG-Isekai adventure that builds toward a return to Earth to stop a System apocalypse.

The Cloudfarers

H.C. Mills

These were the words Rylan Cloudgift had been waiting to hear all his life — his salvation and his escape from a mundane existence as an indentured servant on an island in the vast cloudsea. His quick way out of the debt he owed the Thistlethorns, the noble family that found him as a baby. So why did he wake up in a cell? Seeing no other choice, Rylan flees into the cloudsea with only the supplies he can grab on the way out and a mysterious note bearing a cryptic warning. His quest to find the sender and unravel the mystery of his birth will have to wait — friend and foe alike follow him into the fog, and none of them know the way out. The dense mist harbours hidden monstrosities and long-buried secrets.

Bloodstained Blade

DWinchester

It is a weapon made to feast on death and blood — the more bodies it leaves in its wake, the stronger it gets. Bloodstained Blade is a fantasy GameLit where the main character is the blade itself, not the person wielding it. Expect the wielder to die and be replaced as the Ebon Blade pursues its own goals, no matter the cost.

Humanity's #1 Fan

Illiriel

C58/100
When the apocalypse comes, Ashtoreth betrays Hell to fight for humanity. She was always too optimistic, too energetic, too nice — never fit in with the other archfiends. She was supposed to study humanity to help destroy it; instead, she fell in love with it. But as she tears through the tutorial recruiting allies to her cause, she quickly realizes something strange: the humans don't trust her. Sure, her main ability is [Consume Heart] and her class is [Bloodfire Annihilator], but that doesn't make her evil — it just means every enemy drops an extra health potion! It may take some work, but Ashtoreth is optimistic the humans will come around. After all, she has an important secret to tell them: Hell is afraid of humanity.

Drawing on centuries of accumulated knowledge — every play, shortcut, and strategy — he must save as many lives as possible. He will contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever-watching eyes of the system administrators, and guard his back from scheming players with their own agendas. With every individual carrying their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Win or lose, his 100th run will be his last.

A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

Lunatic Sword

RabZ YT

C57/100
Some live by the sword — Alex is imprisoned by it. Not that he's complaining; he likes swords. In a world of swords and sorcery, some are born with divine blessings that lead them to challenge the heavens, while others are punished by fate and forced into suffering. For Alex, it's all irrelevant. As long as he has his sword, every tragedy is a joy and every obstacle is just more time to polish his blade. There's nothing that can't be solved with a good sword cut — unless the enemy is a ghost, in which case he'll need a church. A battle-focused progression story with a sword-obsessed protagonist whose genius is strictly limited to swordsmanship.

JimQuill

C57/100
Daggat was born different — a variant monster with a random gift to shape his fate. After faking his death, he sets out on a relentless quest for freedom, power, and a place to call his own. With a mind sharper than steel, a gaze that bends wills, and a tyrant's instinct for control, he gathers a band of outcasts: a savage warrior sibling, a cunning rogue sibling, a cursed and forgotten spider from the attic, a worm with the soul of a dragon, and the last ogre of a shattered family. Each carries their own scars — physical, spiritual, emotional. Together they will claw, scheme, and fight through a world that wants them dead, forging an adventuring party that seeks not just riches and glory, but the power to decide their own fates.
