Dreams Come True

Parky

B61/100
In a futuristic world of superheroes and supervillains, the ability to dream of another world doesn't seem particularly useful. But for Demund, who has recently sent his best friend off to the Preliminary Islands superhero training grounds, it turns out to be life-changing. A rejuvenating vacation to a world of magic is now only a good night's rest away. As Demund explores his new world, reality around him begins to change — and he must figure out how to balance the existence of both.

An Unbound Soul

Cathfach

B61/100
When Peter's too-close encounter with a truck sends him to another world, he lands in what seems like a perfect fantasy land — magic, elves, a hyperactive catgirl neighbor, and a System for earning skills and leveling up. But the world is almost suspiciously nice. Set a few hundred years after the events of A Lonely Dungeon, this is a slow-paced slice-of-life story about an Earthling falling into a rebuilt civilization and the struggles both he and the world's self-proclaimed protector face in trying to understand each other.

Betrayal ended his reign — and now he wakes up eighteen years old again, stripped of power and trapped in a magic academy crawling with his old enemies, who mock him with the nickname 'Moron.'

Daren remembers every secret, every spell, every betrayal — and he's going to use it all to survive, rise, and make them regret not finishing the job.

His Soul Is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai

The Cabbage Preacher

B61/100
The land of Gemeinplatz is filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers, and heroes — most of them transported from Earth and blessed with cheat skills. On the surface, it's a perfect power-fantasy world where even the most ordinary person can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Yet beneath this "Gemeinplatzer Dream" is a disgusting truth. To satisfy the needs of heroes who can't function like normal humans, a lucrative slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. Demi-humans labor in harems and mansions, treated as less than people by a ruling class with every incentive to keep the system going. In a world where the oppressors are overpowered and the odds are impossible, the hope for the enslaved has a name: John Brown. This time, he'll finish what he started.

A Snake's Life

Kenneth Arant

His assumptions about a peaceful eternity reunited with his wife are thrown out the window when a meddling god intervenes. The positive: he'll have a chance to see her again. The negative: he has to survive the dangers of the legendary World Tree for the next three hundred years, reincarnated into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, sassy elves, and untold hidden dangers. If life taught Albert anything, it's that if something is worth having, it's worth fighting for.
