The Butcher of Gadobhra

Walrus King

A78/100
When Ozzy signs a five-year contract to work as an NPC serf in Gadobhra — a new fantasy world intended as a playground for the incredibly wealthy — he was just after a paycheck. He's given boring choices: work as a blacksmith, barkeep, or shepherd for all those years. Or he can find ways to take advantage of the System. He can break out, carve out a section of the world for himself as an adventurer, compete to find hidden dungeons, kill the biggest monsters, and gain renown across Gadobhra. Yeah, that sounds like way more fun.

The Artificer's Chronicles

E.M. Hardy

A78/100
At seventeen, Renan Saneris was still waiting for a talent to emerge. While everyone around him got a Class and moved on, he tried his hand at Smithing, Sword Fighting, and Artistry with little result — no skill trees, no saved experience, no class features. One day, etching symbols into a blade as a gift for his best friend, the glyphs start glowing and awaken something in him: Artificer, Level One. No one around him has ever heard of such a class. But when strange shadows attack his village and he barely chases them off with one of his new creations, Renan decides to investigate — and discovers that his mysterious Class may be more than meets the eye.

Spire's Spite

Octophobia

A78/100
Today wasn't one of Fritz's best days — mainly because he'd been beaten, kidnapped, stuffed in a cell with a slew of other captives, then forced to climb a particularly malevolent Spire. The Spires have stood tall for thousands of years as cities, kingdoms, and empires rise and fall around them. Inside are Treasures, Monsters, and most importantly, Powers. Every floor conquered gives a choice of magical Abilities or Attributes that, when built up and chosen well, could raise even a street urchin to a king or beyond. Which is lucky for Fritz and his crew — urchins and thieves caught in a deadly peril. Climb or die.

Douglas M

A78/100

This new world offers many fascinating possibilities, but it seems unfortunate that the skills he spent much of his life developing will be useless, since they don't have computers. Then he notices something strange: the spell incantations read like source code. Magic is programming?

Low-Fantasy Occultist Isekai

Persimmon

A78/100
Nicholas Crowley is used to scraping by in a world where magic is dying. The modern age has left the arcane behind, and the few remaining practitioners fight over scraps like starving dogs. While performing a ritual, something interferes and his soul is ripped from his body. He awakens during the Class ceremony as Nick, a kid living on the frontier of the Green Ocean — a seemingly infinite expanse of trees brimming with rare ingredients and powerful creatures. Mana is abundant here, and the omnipresent System allows for feats he had once thought impossible. But legends walk the land, and gods require their due. Will his experience as an occultist be enough to navigate this wild new world?

Primer for the Apocalypse

Braided Sky

A78/100
Emie Mercer was one of several billion people who survived the apocalypse and was introduced to a new reality where magic was commonplace and everyone had access to a system. Unfortunately, the rest of Emie's family wasn't so lucky. As far as world-changing events went, Earth's reintegration into the Atlantis Alliance was remarkably tame — the post-apocalyptic universe mirrored the wildly popular deep-immersion VRMMORPG Atlas Online, allowing those who played to quickly adapt to their new reality. More than a decade later, Emie manages to create a formation that relies on her Time and Space affinities to return her consciousness to the past. When she arrives nearly four years earlier than expected, she realizes she has a unique opportunity to prepare and train for what is coming. A regression story focused on preparation, growth, and the cost of making herself exceptional — without relying on perfect foreknowledge.

Craig Hamilton, Tao Wong

A78/100
Bail bondsman. Veteran. Survivor. While bringing in his latest fugitive, Hal Mason's payday is interrupted by the translucent blue boxes that herald Earth's introduction to the System — a galaxy-spanning wave of structured mystical energy that destroys all electronics and bestows game-like abilities upon mankind.

As bodies fall and civilization crumbles, Hal asks himself what price his humanity is worth — and whether he can press on, relentless.

Eldritch Exorcist

Hastum

A78/100
Humanity has forgotten the ancient ways of magic and the occult as mana disappeared from the world over millennia. Once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids, and powerful rituals have become superstition. But the universe never stays constant. Magic begins to return. Mythical creatures crawl out from their hidden lairs, Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and Halloween haunted-house parties turn into genuine horrors. The world slowly descends into chaos. For Samuel — last remaining member of an infamous wizard family known for their strange deals with Eldritch gods — this is a breath of fresh air. Following in his ancestors' footsteps, he embarks on a path to the pinnacle of dark arts. The exorcist business is about to boom, but whether that is good news for the rest of the world remains to be seen.

Beware the Trickster

Mangowo

A78/100
Life was perfect: naps in sunbeams, stolen snacks, and expertly timed accidents to torment her favorite human. So when licking a strangely alluring gemstone suddenly flooded her fuzzy head with memories of her former human existence, Clover — now a fox — simply filed it under "things to not give a damn about" and went back to napping. Fate had other plans. When the curtain of her pampered ignorance was ripped aside, revealing a world steeped in ancient horrors, eldritch hungers, and flesh-warping occult progression, she reacted with remarkable calm. Because the real horror was anything threatening her nap-snack-torment equilibrium. Now this newly enlightened vulpine has a simple goal: get stronger — not for glory, but purely to achieve peace through overwhelming power.

The Snake Report

wercwercwerc

A78/100
When life ends, many believe a soul is judged — warriors go to Valhalla, saints to heaven, and evil-doers to hell. But what about someone who doesn't fall into any of those categories? Some of them end up reincarnated as a tiny snake. This is the story of one such soul: a winding path through a fantasy world toward something like existential redemption, told with comedy and heart.

Fluff

RavensDagger

A78/100
Every year on Power Day, people across the world awaken new abilities and are labeled Heroes or Villains. Emily Wright wants nothing to do with any of it — she just wants to get her degree and manage her social anxiety. Instead, she awakens with the power to summon little sisters and is officially categorized as a Villain. Accidentally conjuring a pint-sized supervillain sidekick is only the beginning. With an ever-growing family of mischievous sisters to babysit, Emily tries to stay under the radar — even as her reluctant "evil empire" grows larger than she ever intended.

Heretical Fishing: A Cozy Guide to Annoying the Cults, Outsmarting the Fish, and Alienating Oneself

Haylock

A78/100
When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs — he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame, fortune, power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal within scritching distance is more his speed. Unfortunately, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. He's hounded on all sides by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and magical misunderstandings — and even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.

The Weirkey Chronicles

Sarah Lin

A78/100
The Nine Worlds span dimensions filled with wonder and adventure, but for Theo they mean bitter tragedy. For years he resented the betrayal that killed his friends, sent him back to Earth, and made him question everything he thought he knew. Now, after a lifetime of struggle, he's found a way back to the Nine Worlds — an old man reborn in a new body, with a second chance to rebuild what he lost and unravel a mystery that spans dimensions. Though he arrives in the safe world of Tatian, demons are crawling from the darkness between realms. There's no time to prepare carefully: he needs to find allies among the lost just to survive long enough to make use of what he knows.

Song of the Gift-Giver

Selkie

A78/100
When Merlin sundered the world to separate the magical from the mundane, he made a small mistake: he copied every mundane body but not their souls. That night, they rose as undead — and the world has never known peace since. Camelot is now an institution for teaching fine young wixen about magic, and it is not a safe place to learn. Felix has never held a wand or cast a spell — until Paracelsus, the Immortal Alchemist, breaks into his home to tell him he's a wizard. Meanwhile, Erik Morsin, groomed to be the next Duke of Ireland, is a member of the most hated family in King Arthur's nation. Four other students round out a group whose lives will intertwine at Camelot — though only five can bond as a coven. A mild LitRPG set in a magic school, planned across eight books.
