Painting the Mists

Patrick Laplante

B70/100
Once, there was nothing, and the Mists were lonely. A simple brush painted all of creation. The Clear Sky Brush vanished for countless ages — and now it's back. Life for Cha Ming is a daily grind. When he asks the universe for something more, fate answers: a talisman brush older than time sends him to another world where magic, fortune, and danger await. He has a new life, a new body, and the power to wield the five elements. His new home is a place where might makes right and immortal cultivators fight demons at the drop of a hat. A game of universal proportions is unfolding, the Clear Sky Brush at its center — and the power to choose comes at a heavy price.

Weeaboo's Unfortunate Isekai: The Necromancer's Gacha

Warby Picus

B70/100
Getting isekai'd into a gameworld full of waifus was supposed to be the dream. Unfortunately, the mysterious black-robed figure who did the summoning grabbed the wrong guy, and now the protagonist faces waves of monsters intent on terrible things. The game turns out to be a gacha, which means desperately earning money to pull summons, building fortifications, furnishing a tower, and gearing up — all while grappling with the existential horror of gacha economics. The necromancers who built this game are going to pay. A base-building, summoner-focused isekai with no harem, featuring tower defense mechanics and dark humor.

From Hell

B69/100
Without warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. This new world, for all its gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium — a deadly arena of unimaginable scale. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Only two options existed: complete the many trials ahead, or perish. Billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair, one small ray of hope existed: if even one person could complete every raid, humanity would be redeemed and restored. No save points, no revives, no retries. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules.
