zechamp

A77/100
Mud, oil stains, giant rats in the sewers, a society of greedy nobles engaged in heinous schemes — Fayette will cleanse it all. When the knights and mages try to stop her, they find that household skills put to violent use are nothing to scoff at. A broom right to the head. A society in need of a thorough cleaning. Guillotines, eventually.

As the younger brother of one of the most famous trailblazers, Derek Thoma is expected to become strong or die trying. When his older brother returns from outer space, the pressure only intensifies — even as centuries-old threats rear their ugly heads.

Evil to Eden: Turning a Haunted Castle into a Bed and Breakfast

Tater Prince

A77/100
Gideon's life is going nowhere fast until a letter arrives telling him he's inherited a castle from a distant great-uncle he never knew. The only problem: his ancestor isn't dead, he's undead, and the castle is falling apart. When Gideon realizes the former evil lair sits along an important route through a treacherous stretch of mountains, he gets a new idea: instead of keeping people out, maybe it's time to invite them in. With a grumpy undead mentor trapped in a magic mirror, an animated suit of armor, and skeletons learning to make pancakes, Gideon learns new magic and levels up — one cozy renovation at a time.

Armed with every shortcut, strategy, and hard-won advantage from his past lives, Anthony must contend with vicious boss monsters, the oppressive surveillance of system administrators, and scheming players who want the game to go their way.

The Greystone Chronicles

Dave Willmarth

In the latter half of the 21st century, Alexander and his guild play Io Online — the world's largest VRMMORPG — for both fun and income. While completing a rare "First Kill" dungeon, they discover that demons have returned to the realm for the first time in ages. Given the chance to test a new immersion system that makes casting faster, movement more fluid, and magic itself different, the friends must give up their high-level characters and start over at level one. They quickly run afoul of a player-killer guild, and the conflict escalates until in-game actions begin to have real-world consequences.

Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon

Matt Dinniman

A77/100
Duke is offered $15,000 to paint a mural — with a catch. He must first see what his client wants painted, which means entering a private server: Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon, a survival horror full-immersion game where fantasy races clash with technology, giant monsters guard the gates of heaven, and players take the role of battlefield surgeons keeping those behemoths alive. But this server was not built for the game. It was built by the world's most sadistic minds as a place to bring victims, exploit the game's full-pain and realistic anatomy systems, and push them far beyond any normal breaking point — then bring them back and do it again. Trapped, Duke has one goal: survive, win the game, and become the most ruthless monster in the room.

Summoner's Shadow

DB King

A77/100

Until the day a griffin crash-lands into his stable with a summoner on its back, and everything changes. Thrust into a world of magical creatures and their masters, Bran quickly discovers how unique he truly is. But being special puts a target on his back — and some of the world's most powerful summoners will do anything to learn his secret.

Dungeon Planet: The Healer Always Leaves Alive

six-perihelion

A77/100
When a world falls through the false vacuum of its native universe, it ends up in the Spiral — an endless twisting helix of planets, stars, and civilizations, where a thousand different fundamental rules mix and blend to form the patchwork cosmos of the Weave. In the Spiral, magic and technology co-exist, freely used by traders, adventurers, and plunderers to make their fortunes. Miles is a human refugee, fresh from an Earth that has recently fallen into the Spiral. Unlike most of his peers, he's chosen to pursue a specialization in magic, and has just taken his first step on a journey that will take him to the highest and lowest points in his strange new universe.

The Lone Wanderer

K. Georgiades aka PathofPen

A77/100
Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and scorned as a waste. But when his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter expectations. Exploring strange realms, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and even the seed of a second mana core stolen from an advanced civilization. The elixirs he needs to advance require mastering alchemy himself — and the Great Houses, scheming titans, and invading gods will do anything to crush him before he can prove that even a so-called waste can reach the stars.

Dead Tired

RavensDagger

A76/100
In the distant past, there lived Harold — the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, he waged a cataclysmic war against the gods and then took a nap. An incredibly long nap. He wakes to a world he barely recognizes. No more swords and sorcery, but a universe buzzing with cultivation, celestial sects, and far too many pretentious dialogues about the path to godhood. Harold has one ambition: to slide back into his uninterrupted eternal slumber. But the cacophony of quarreling sects and smug martial artists seems determined to keep him awake. No aspiring deity, no grandiose sect, and certainly no self-righteous martial artist is going to rob him of his beauty sleep.

System Lost: My Own Best Friend

DarkTechnomancer

A76/100
Allison is a normal girl who enjoys spending time with her friends and just generally enjoying college life. So when she wakes up in a strange underground complex full of candles, weird creatures, and no memory of how she ended up there, it's safe to say she's a little out of her element. She has no survival skills, no ability to fight, and no clue what the weird words and numbers floating around in her head are supposed to mean. It seems like a hopeless situation until she finds an unlikely ally — another version of herself, with different knowledge, skills, and personality. Together, they might have a chance of making it out alive. The catch: they still share the same body.

Ends of Magic

Alexander Olson

A76/100
Nathan's life was defined by labs and lectures until an Archmage yanked him into Davrar with a tantalizing offer: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific secrets. Nathan can't shake the feeling that darker truths lurk beneath the promise. Davrar is a dangerous world of dungeons and monsters, ruled by levels, Talents, and near-infinite progression. Nathan's unique ability to counteract magic gives him an unprecedented edge — making him a beacon of resistance against those who wield it as a weapon of control. Armed with intellect and an emerging power that could dismantle the very foundations of Davrar's society, he emerges not as a student of magic, but as its ultimate adversary: the Antimage.

A Dearth of Choice (Dungeon Core)

Grim Tide

A76/100
A young dungeon core forms next to a lovely village full of lovely people who would probably understand its plight — if only it had a mouth with which to speak. Instead, everything goes horribly, terribly wrong. This is the story of a village, a dungeon, and a core's desperate desire to provide light, laughter, and life. It tries to choose talents and perks that bolster its life-mana alignment every time. So how did it end up with an undead army and insane boosts to death-aligned mana? How did everything go so wrong?

An Unborn Hero

Cathfach

A76/100
The tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship. Unfortunately, a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally — meaning it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait. Also in contention: the embryo of a hero facing the egg of a demon lord in a battle with serious mobility issues on both sides. And two new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them. An absurdist LitRPG comedy in which an unborn hero speedruns the plot so efficiently it may all be over before she gets around to being born.
