Elbowsnapper

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.

Inexorable Chaos: God Games

Cliff Hanger

C59/100
Gods are, generally speaking, not fans of putting their fingers on the scale. After a few hundred millennia and enough prayers to fill a hollow Earth, they have learned the art of delegation — finding exceptional mortals with the potential to become Heroes, and putting them to work. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole "save the world" rigmarole across twenty-nine different worlds, came home, and realized it was never enough. He wanted to do it again. So he sold his services to the lazy, wanton Gods as a Hero for Hire. Now, after all that, he faces his most terrifying adversary yet: the Internal Revenue Service.

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.

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

RE Druin

C59/100
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.

Bloodstained Blade

DWinchester

C58/100
When the sword awakens, it has slept so long that it has forgotten everything but hunger. 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.

Dungeon Inc.

Colossal Soup

C58/100
Dungeon Inc. is the biggest 'fake' reality show on Earth — college kids pretending to be actors, starring as fantasy heroes. But on the other side of the portal, the monsters don't follow scripts, the loot is real, and there's no respawn button. For Alex Mercer, this was supposed to be the ultimate campus job: cosplay, clout, and enough cash to kill his student loans. Cast as the team's "wizard," he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home. But then he discovers that magic is real. Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, he begins to wonder: can he become the mage he's only been pretending to be?

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.

100th Run: A Regressor's LitRPG Adventure

Flossindune

C58/100
The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens. Confusion reigned as everyone struggled to survive in this new reality — everyone but one man. Anthony Franklin had a secret: he had lived through this exact series of events ninety-nine times in a row. 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.

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.

Tyrants of Earth

Purveilor

C58/100
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.

Ponder the Orb

Scribe_Apprentice

C58/100
When Mark is ripped from Earth and dropped into a realm of wizard towers and magic, he is taken in by an unlikely group of hermits who spend their days smoking halflings' leaf, arguing over spell theory, and quietly pondering glowing orbs. They call themselves the Blue Wizards. The powerful White Tower sect calls them a disgrace. As Mark begins training with them, he realizes something unsettling: their strange "orb pondering" might actually be a lost path to real power. Learning to cultivate mana, unlock spells, and navigate a mysterious inner world that shouldn't exist, he is pulled deeper into a system that clearly has plans for him. Unfortunately, those plans involve overflowing rifts, undead hordes, and a rapidly escalating necromancer problem threatening the entire Middle Realm. It turns out slowing down, smoking pipeweed, and contemplating the universe is a lot more dangerous than it looks.

Accidental Healer

Avyck3721

Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead he woke up in a nightmare. Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class — Healer. That's when things start feeling off. He's leveling far too fast, and his so-called support class feels anything but weak. His only ally is a too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal. Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

World Tree Apocalypse: A Pilot In Another World LitRPG

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C57/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper. 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.
