In Space With a Junkyard Ship

apinsig

C57/100
Earth stands dead. Follow a broken man's desperate journey as he searches for freedom — trying to generate enough power to escape not just from a ruined Earth, but from the remnants of human colonies now controlling the solar system, who see him as little more than a machine. It won't take long for him to discover that the universe is nothing like he imagined. The emptiness he envisioned isn't there, nor is the easy life of leisure he dreamed of. Instead, danger and opportunity lurk around every corner — and for those not brave enough to face them, only death awaits.

Accidental Healer

Avyck3721

C57/100
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.

Braided Sky

C57/100
After centuries of struggle, Emie is the first from Earth to reach the pinnacle and ascend into an entirely different realm — a question she had wondered about ever since magic and progression became reality. Granted a boon and given advantages the natives can only dream of, Emie and her fellow Ascenders must rebuild their power from scratch in this new realm. Determined to make the most of the fresh start, Emie must find allies and begin her climb anew — except this time, she plans to actually live her life instead of focusing solely on progression.

Unclassed: A Skill Merging LitRPG

Silverdawn

C57/100
Raised as an orphan in Flea's End, Adam dreamed of wealth and luxury, working every day toward saving enough for the offering that would earn him a rare and desirable Class. Then that dream was stolen from him. Offered only pitiful classes, Adam rejects them all and becomes a weak, worthless Unclassed. His one advantage: a unique inventory skill called Hoard, which lets him store and combine items, skills, and even power — assuming he's willing to fight for them. Adam has five years until his next selection, and plans to grow so strong that the class of his dreams becomes a laughable step down. His first step: joining the Rift Delving Association. His next: entering hell.

Chronicle

Kevin Murphy

C57/100
Game capsules transport players to a new world where time is perceived far more slowly — making them more than entertainment; they're extra hours in which to study, work, or relax. Chronicle has become more than a game for governments, businesses, and players alike. When Corbin Landrick finally gets his hands on a ChronPod, he jumps headfirst into his second life. While he struggles to plant both feet firmly on the ground in a world of magic and monsters, he finds out that virtual reality is what you make of it.

Dragonheart Core

Atenburgh

C57/100
To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes on his silver throne — but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.

Shaman's Call

Sean Oswald

C56/100
Frank never planned for the afterlife — he didn't even believe in one, certainly not one controlled by an AI. After failing to read the small print in his contract, he finds himself stuck in a new world as an ogre shaman. The AI's System commands this world, and Frank is at its mercy. The ogres think Frank is some kind of messiah; the humans think he's just XP walking. All Frank wants is to make the best of his strange new reality and find someone worth talking to. Instead he finds himself caught between powers far beyond him in a struggle for the fate of not just one world — and his suspicions that it's no game at all grow with every step.

The Tech Specialist

Incarnated Whisp

C56/100
Nick first arrived in the Pokémon world just over a year ago. Now he's trying to win a worldwide tournament while maneuvering beneath the pressure of his far-too-influential sponsor — and that doesn't even include dealing with the baggage Unova carries as a region. At least Nick has his team, some helpful foreknowledge, and access to neat technology he considers himself skilled with. A Pokémon fanfiction about a trainer who starts with a decently powerful team, competing at the level of Champions rather than earning Gym Badges. Inspired by the events of Pokémon Black and White 2.

He becomes a coveted dual mage of wind and ice — but integration into this new world proves far more complicated than he expected.

Ponder the Orb

Scribe_Apprentice

C56/100
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.

Mark of Time: A LitRPG Timeloop

Krazekode

C56/100
Jennifer was ready to enter Lienmont's Mage Academy — the place she'd been aspiring to reach for years. What she hadn't expected was to be dragged into the city's dungeon, where a trial of life and death left a Mark seared onto not just her body, but her very soul. When she escaped, she found her city in flames, monstrous invaders slaughtering everyone — including her. When Jennifer closed her eyes, she was certain her life had taken an unfair and tragic turn. But then she opened them, and none of it had ever happened. The only proof she hadn't gone mad was the Mark on her hand, burning with an inner fire. In a trial of gods where eight Marks compete to find unseen treasures, a ninth has appeared: one with the power to revert time.

The Nine Tails of Alchemy

Taniko K Williams

C56/100
The year is 2375. With the world drained of natural resources, the government places those deemed of low economic value into cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to virtual worlds as digital citizens. Kadia Greene had no interest in virtual worlds — she was top of her class and on the fast track to university. When she is horrified to receive a notice of digitalization, her life begins to fall apart. But as she enters Kaledon, the newest and most realistic fantasy world on the market, Kadia finds her dreams and passion rekindled. A slice-of-life story following the struggles and successes of a Kitsune protagonist, with a focus on alchemy and crafting.

Rogue Cultivator

Alex Karne (TheDeliciousMeats)

C56/100
It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a truck — then it's an isekai LitRPG. Zane is a young man with the Chef class, questionable morals, and a rapidly growing collection of pet spirit beasts. Pinky is a kitsune out for fortune and fun. Using nothing but friendship, murderous pets, and overpowered techniques, they must climb a divine mountain to claim their reward — or die trying. Too bad they have already managed to enrage a powerful sect of cultivators. Apparently the elders don't appreciate having their disciples turned into pet food.

Tidal Lock

ResonantIce

C56/100
Humanity has finally taken the next step into space. Governments run research stations throughout the solar system while private enterprises mine asteroids for rare metals and exotic minerals. However, space remains beyond the reach of the everyday person. In contrast, virtual reality technology has led to an explosion of full-immersion entertainment, and many people turn to VR for the thrill of spaceflight. One game, Parallax Gate, lets players experience living in an interstellar civilization. For maximum realism, its developers created a world solely defined by players' personal skills and ability. Mark Asami, a student of aerospace engineering at MIT, dreams of bringing spaceflight to the masses. To pass time, he plays as Aero Rayne in Parallax Gate with his roommate and their organization, the Temple Wraiths — until a chain of in-game events draws them deeper into the game's world and politics than they ever intended.

RMCollinwood

Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low: lost his job, fiancée dumped him, moved back to his parents' basement. Then the System arrives and Earth becomes a playing field in a contest among the gods. Provided the ideal stat array for a physical combat class, the choice is obvious — until Joe fat-thumbs the selection screen and ends up with Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat: 1. With a useless class and only his raw strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. He pumps every stat point into Strength and sets out to win the whole damned thing. A real wizard should be measured by how much he can bench.

Sword Saint's Reincarnation

Ayer12

C55/100
Roland was the greatest swordmaster in the world — the Sword Saint — with no enemy he couldn't defeat and nowhere he couldn't go. The price of pursuing strength above all else was death at the hands of his own brother, the last surviving member of his family. Reborn in the body of Rylan, the greatest shame of the Flameheart family, Roland refuses to waste his second chance. He has the capability and the drive from his past life, and now also the wisdom to understand what truly matters. He won't forsake family again. Reaching the peak will be easy. Staying true to his newfound convictions while the criminal underworld hunts their best former customer will be much harder.
