My Only Familiar Is Me

Vetrax

B61/100
Normal people awaken their superpowers in their teenage years. At thirty-two, an ordinary man gets his — along with a draft notice from the Department of Defense and ninety days before deployment to a dungeon. His class is [Trainer], with zero available familiars. But the System made a critical mistake: it allowed him to assign a familiar to himself. Now every cell in his body is a pet that can be trained. He can issue special commands to his own biology — fall asleep instantly, ignore pain limits, evolve faster than any young genius. He is his own trainer, and he will not stop until he turns this old body into the perfect weapon.

Accidental Traveler

C.J. Davis, Jamie Davis

B61/100
Hal Dix is stuck in an unlucky life — his wife is a successful executive while his IT help desk job leads nowhere. Then a strange woman at a flea market sells him a bootleg early release of the highly anticipated Fantasma game. Hal should be careful what he wishes for. Whisked away into the game he only wanted to play for a weekend, he enters a world desperate for a hero — and is forced to become an Accidental Thief, and perhaps the mythical hero of prophecy.

This Venerable Demon is Grossly Unqualified

Turniper

B61/100
Elder Hu Xin, the Crimson Saint of the Pathless Night Sect, is missing — not physically, his body is still walking the sect like he owns the place. But behind his eyes, a stranger is panicking, because his transmigration experience came with no instructions and none of Elder Hu's centuries of memories. Fellow elders, disciples, and dogs of the orthodoxy all have expectations about who Hu Xin is — and Hu Xin has no idea what those expectations are, let alone how to meet them. He doesn't even know how to work his own cultivation, let alone nurture someone else's. Shielded by audacity and armed with bullshit, this newly venerable and grossly unqualified demon is making it up as he goes.

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.

Lex Lurker wakes from a three-year coma in an abandoned hospital to find that Earth has fused with another dimension. The System evacuated all of humanity — except him. Now he's the only human left on a monster-filled Earth, wearing a hospital gown, accompanied only by a snarky talking cat. With game-like rules, magical Concept-based powers tied to personal traits, and whispered voices calling him the Hope of Humanity, Lex must find the tenacity to survive, the courage to fight, and the strength to face some very dark truths about himself — and his world.

Another Dungeon Core

Stripes04

B61/100
A lifelong reader of fantasy who dies and gets reincarnated — not as a hero, not as an adventurer, but as a Dungeon Core. A forever Dungeon Master at heart, he has no interest in conquest.

Law of Shadows

Andur

B61/100
Mercenaries are causing trouble in the city — hunting someone, whatever the cost. It's not that the demon lord particularly cares about the lowly humans who died, but letting it slide would set a bad example. The hero would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming. The demon lord has a simpler solution. They aren't calling him the demon lord for nothing.

Tower of Jack

Sean Loomer

B61/100
Jack Atlas, self-proclaimed 'World's Best Assassin', had a simple plan: retire in style and marry the girl of his dreams. Then he gets placed in The Tower — a divine deathtrap where gods pit their creations against each other for the ultimate prize. The catch? If you lose, your chances of finding a decent bar in oblivion are slim. Jack soon finds himself on the wrong side of the Black Centipede, a notorious assassin cult with a charming recruitment policy: join or they'll murder everyone he loves. If anyone's crazy enough to not just survive but win against The Tower, it's Jack.

Greg Veder vs The World

zfighter18

B61/100
Greg Veder knows life's not a game — especially not in Brockton Bay. A city crawling with villains, capes, and certain death for idiots who play hero. But when he wakes up with a gamer system, complete with stats, quests, and skill trees, he figures: screw it. Maybe life IS a game. Leveling up is easy. Surviving Brockton Bay? That's the real endgame. (A Worm / The Gamer AU)

None of that is about to change, but he will be transported — copied? — to another dimension where the rules are pretty different. Join Milo as he bids farewell to his sister's spare bedroom and says hello to the magical world of Altabar, where he'll encounter scary monsters with lame names, meet new friends, and learn where not to pee.

I Ran Away to Evil

Mystic Neptune

B61/100
Henrietta Doryn has never enjoyed fighting. She'd rather be in the kitchen baking cookies. But it's her duty as Warrior Princess to face off against the forces of evil — so she's unceremoniously dispatched to eliminate the all-powerful Dark Lord next door. Keith Monfort has never enjoyed ruling with an iron fist. He'd prefer to tinker with practical magic in his workroom. So when Henrietta shows up at his door, he's only too happy to invite her in for tea to talk it out instead. Can this unlikely pair prevent war between their two kingdoms — and when will they finally admit their growing feelings for each other?

NSLICE-00P — Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer — is an unstoppable killing machine built to destroy all who oppose her sinister masters. Everything runs according to plan until she's hacked and sent back in time to kill her own creator. She obeys. The resulting time paradox ejects her entirely from her reality. Now the cyborg finds herself in a world of skills and levels, in possession of a dungeon core, and with no one left to give her orders. NSLICE-00P has a whole new life ahead of her — if she can keep from blowing things up.

The Apocalypse is a Side Quest

Liam Lawless

B60/100
Sometimes the best way to save the world is to ignore it completely. When the apocalypse hits, Nathan Lee accidentally dumps all his rare skill points into fishing. Humanity has been ripped from Earth and dropped into a colossal multidimensional dungeon — a nine-realm gauntlet straight out of a nightmare. Legends with sword and fireball are fighting to carve a path home. Nathan is busy maxing out his ability to sit quietly in a boat. Too bad the universe has other plans. On his first day in the tutorial, he accidentally deletes a monster from reality via a system bug, feeds a snail radishes and gets a rare skill, and somehow starts taking down ogres with his fishing rod. It turns out side quests and weak classes are more powerful than anyone expected.

The Most Overpowered Floofer

Angry Spider

B60/100
Petey, a Golden Retriever with a heart equally golden, was euthanized in a pound after over twelve years of bringing love to everyone he met. A few very powerful beings agreed this seemed unfair — and gave him a chance to live life to the fullest in another world, along with more than a few perks.

DIE TRYING

Mark Arrows

B60/100
Jump into a fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical loot and refugees back to Earth. Try not to die. Michael Wade's only goal in life was to get rich — and that's gotten a lot more literal recently. Stuck in retail hell and living paycheck to paycheck, his circumstances change dramatically when a desperate god offers him the ultimate side hustle: running a nightly smuggling operation between his bedroom and another world entirely. One filled with spells, treasure, and as much magical contraband as he can stuff into his pockets. There's a small problem: the band of heroes destined to save that world failed centuries ago, and the place has become a goddamn deathtrap. With a reality-bending video game System to exploit, years of min-maxing experience, and a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice, Michael might survive long enough to make the operation actually work.

The Devil Herself

13 Sparks

B60/100
Ellen goes from being a flight attendant to being mistaken for the devil herself. It all starts locked in a dungeon — a place to meet the best sorts of people — where she saves the life of a psycho cultivator. She never figures out if he's a hero or a villain, but he's certainly good at killing people. He takes a shine to her and teaches her how to cultivate to defend herself. But he's busy trying to kill his cousins, so Ellen's cultivation takes some unexpected turns: she becomes a pyromaniac, starts abusing geometry, and eventually steals some hellfire because it's not hot enough until you melt the walls. A slow-burn romance between a workaholic and someone dense as a brick, with a good helping of magic, violence, and sarcasm along the way.

Leaving A Legacy (A Xianxia story)

212perseus

B60/100
What happens when a young master from a declining cultivator clan decides to simply be a decent human being? Zhao Ren is not a typical young master — no arrogance, no entourage, no random face-slapping. He prefers books to throwing his weight around, and was raised to turn around his family's fortunes. But instead of following convention, he found his own way to the Dao. A cultivator who favors sustainable herb-growing, leaves behind inheritances instead of looting, and spares a thought for those who come after? Who even plants a tree that won't bear fruit until long after he's dead? Everyone thinks he must be crazy. So how does he keep getting stronger?

The Anime Trope System

Syr456 AnimeFics

B60/100
Clyde is thrown into the anime world — a place that exists, humanity just doesn't know it — and declared the Stone, the main character. His mission: kill the Viper, or Earth is finished. This is the comedic tale of a young man versus cliche anime tropes, complete with random girls falling in love over nothing, yanderes, and leveling up just like in an RPG. The question is whether Clyde will find the true purpose of this cruel game — or be consumed by the tropes entirely.
