Me and My Demons

Oleg Sapphire

A84/100
My name is Konstantin, and I am no ordinary demonologist. In my past life, I was one of the world's greatest — and the horned lords and masters of the inferno trembled at my name. That name still carries weight in this new world, where I have chosen a very different path: soldier. The army turns out to be a total madhouse that obeys no reason, and the only way to understand it is to experience it. But Konstantin thrives where others merely survive — and the demons that once feared his name are about to be reminded why.

Ether Flows

Ryan DeBruyn

A84/100
The Sovereign Empire's power was a lie. Azrael was brutally trained from birth to be a Sovereign Elite — until war came, and he found himself a prisoner on Tech Duinn, a prison planet designed for blood sport, before he even turned eight. Without system access and stripped of his identity, Azrael must rely on his trainers to keep his true name secret. If anyone learns his last name, he will wake up in the arena — if he wakes up at all. Surviving the Arena Pit Dungeon seems impossible, yet Azrael vows not only to live, but to find a way off-world. He lives only because of applause. Others will die for it. Death or escape is the only way out of the cycle.

So I'm a Spider, So What? Light Novel

Okina Baba

A84/100
A normal high school girl dies and is reincarnated in a fantasy world as a tiny spider at the bottom of a monster-infested dungeon. With no special advantages and no one to rely on, she must use every trick at her disposal just to survive — and then to grow stronger. From her early days desperately evading predators through her eventual evolution into something far more formidable, her journey is one of relentless improvisation against a world that seems designed to kill her.

Systema Delenda Est

InadvisablyCompelled

A84/100
When the System came to Earth, technology failed, monsters appeared, and billions died as humans were inducted into game-like physics. Unfortunately for the System, not all humans were on Earth. Cato is an ordinary postbiological citizen — disgusted enough by the System's excesses to go through one of the portals and spread himself into the broader System just as Earth is completely freed. He has no magic, but he has the technology and knowledge of a civilization reaching toward the second rank of the Kardashev scale. He may have to operate under the System's limitations, but he certainly doesn't have to play by its rules. His goal is simple: remove the System entirely.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 6: The Ghosts of Earth

DoctorHepa

A84/100
The apocalypse will be televised. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth collapses into a heap, transformed into a dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot that circles the entire globe. Only a few dare venture inside — and once you're in, you can't get out. Each level has a time limit. But this game isn't about strength or dexterity; it's about followers, views, and clout. Building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big. And if you have that 'it' factor, you may just find yourself with a following — and the loot boxes dropped by generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.

Regis and Charlotte

MeetFearsomeDragons

A84/100
Regis knows it's an illusion. He's only ever seen Princess Charlotte from afar, only heard her voice when she spoke to a crowd. Sure, he's good at reading people, but he knows she of all people will be wearing a perfect mask. The problem is he's in love with the illusion, and it's not going away. So he strikes out on a quest: win the fighting tournament held every year, where she gives out the prize, and — just hypothetically — forfeit the monetary winnings and instead ask for a week to be close to her, to get to know the real her, and break the illusion once and for all.

Stranded in a hotel room with nothing but a hangover, Daniel discovers he's been gifted with strange new powers in place of a functioning interface — powers that might enable him to unite the survivors around him into a force capable of enduring this cruel new world.

Dungeon Devotee

Nixia

A84/100
Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams — until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world's greatest predator with a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind. With every level he earns, every piece of loot that drops, every secret he uncovers, and especially every bit of power he can squeeze from his mysterious connection to the Aspect of Madness, Edmund crawls closer to accomplishing that insurmountable feat. With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon's right back.

Jax is a pretty regular guy with a job he tolerates and a girl he kinda loves — and he fights creatures from the UnderVerse in his sleep, waking covered in horrific scars. When his brother vanishes and five years later Jax is kidnapped as well, his father gives him a stark choice: travel to the UnderVerse in reality, reach the capitol of that ruined realm at the center of existence, and open a portal for the Noble Houses to return home — or die slowly. First, though, he has to survive the arena, where twelve will enter and only one can leave.

Here Be Dragons: Book 1 of the Emergence Series

Second_Sol

A84/100
Billions of years ago, Earth formed a little differently — less iron, more water — and the first humans evolved on a lone continent surrounded by vast oceans spanning 97.5% of the planet. For millennia, humanity believed their island to be the only land in existence, until satellites revealed two distant continents. An expedition of humanity's best and brightest sets out — only for a series of disasters to wipe out all but one of the crew. Doctor Alexander Pryce becomes the first and only man to step foot on foreign soil. Alone, he struggles to carry on the mission, and in doing so draws the attention of an inquisitive and highly intelligent dragon. Desolate but not alone, Pryce begins the painstaking process of learning to communicate with an alien species — and becomes the sole representative of humanity whose actions will determine the future of both their kinds.
