The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future

RE Druin

C58/100
Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage invented a video game to train people on Earth for a coming catastrophe. The gods seized the opportunity to take the templates — and even the souls — of some of those characters for use in other worlds. Sama Rantha is one of those characters. Being a Hagchild and surviving after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your race at level one on a gamescreen. Book One follows Sama's Road to Ten in a traditional LitRPG fantasy setting, heavy with gaming terms and rules-lawyering as she min-maxes her heart out to survive a world intent on killing her. Book Two shifts to a sci-fi/fantasy/psionics mashup as Sama is sent into a grim dark galaxy she'd rather not be in — but the heart of a powergamer never says no.

Kittypunk

RavensDagger

C58/100
She was the world's greatest assassin — a silent threat, the cause of a hundred mysterious deaths, all to feed her cats and pay her rent. And then she died. The last thing she expected was to be reborn as a harmless kitten in the hands of a very strange girl. Now tasked with mentoring the girl in the arts of assassination, Caroline Daniels (now known as the fearsome Queen Violence Von Ragamuffin) has to figure out how to mother an idiot while weighing as much as half a loaf of soggy bread. A lighthearted cyberpunk romp featuring cat shenanigans, found family, a soft progression system, and naps.

Tal is one of the elite undead soldiers of the Zozheim empire, resurrected from the corpse of an uncounted sacrifice. He does not know the man's name. He does not care. The body is his now.

And soon, that fact will terrify his creators and their enemies alike.

Neophyte World Builder

ThePudding

C58/100
Nobody told him godhood needed an instruction manual. Reincarnated as the Administrator of a newborn universe, an ordinary man from Earth must design everything — physics, magic, plants, animals, and the rules that bind them — while ensuring the world generates the energy he needs to survive.

World Tree Apocalypse: A Pilot In Another World LitRPG

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C58/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper. A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

Goblin Teeth: A Monster Party LitRPG

JimQuill

C57/100
Daggat was born different — a variant monster with a random gift to shape his fate. After faking his death, he sets out on a relentless quest for freedom, power, and a place to call his own. With a mind sharper than steel, a gaze that bends wills, and a tyrant's instinct for control, he gathers a band of outcasts: a savage warrior sibling, a cunning rogue sibling, a cursed and forgotten spider from the attic, a worm with the soul of a dragon, and the last ogre of a shattered family. Each carries their own scars — physical, spiritual, emotional. Together they will claw, scheme, and fight through a world that wants them dead, forging an adventuring party that seeks not just riches and glory, but the power to decide their own fates.

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.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

Theodorus Sideris

C57/100
The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to desperate existence in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula — its fall not a possibility, but a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis, a history professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house, has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, shifting alliances, and military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where intrigue and diplomacy achieve as much as a raised army, battles are won through strategy rather than superpowers, and no character is safe from the crucible of war and politics.

Rise of Kers

Daniel Weber

C57/100
When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question — how is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together they delight in exploring his weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventurers to plumb his lofty heights. But other dungeons — each with their own unique resources and machinations — soon take an interest in Kers, and the Adventurers Guild does not take kindly to "irregular" dungeons.

Ancient Being Predecessor of the Primordial Era

Z. Robert Nights

C56/100
Being mistaken for an Ancient Predecessor usually results in heavenly benefits — not for James Anderson. Thrown into an isolated training realm with no tutorial and no guidance, he spends eons alone, kept sane only by system notifications and rewards. When even those stop, he jumps off the precipice. A tear in reality deposits him into a cultivation world gone awry, where demons and evil cultivators dominate and the righteous cower in caves. James is dragged into petty squabbles and the lives of the last remaining Hu family members, all while navigating with the belief that he isn't actually that strong.

Dao of Language (English)

stormhand

C56/100
In cultivation worlds, geniuses believe the path of slaughter is the only road to the pinnacle — yet they always encounter hidden masters who surpass them without ever leaving their sects or fighting physically. An archaeologist specializing in dead languages dies after finding a door that should not have existed, and is reborn in another world. Due to a decision she cannot remember making, the fastest orthodox paths are closed to her — forcing her to take things slowly and follow the way of those hidden masters, guided by her talent for understanding and deciphering languages.
