Reborn as a Dark Lord

Timothy W. Long

C52/100
Vincent Logan's day couldn't get any worse: fired from his corporate job, nearly dying of a heart attack, and then suddenly thrust into the body of the recently defeated Dark Lord Morthisal. Trapped in a fantasy world with powers he can barely control and a reputation that precedes him in all the wrong ways, Vince has to navigate a post-war kingdom that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Armed with nothing but his wits, a few magical artifacts, and an insatiable craving for chicken wings, Vince sets out to open the most unlikely business venture for a former evil overlord: a tavern.

Veos, The Story of a Dungeon

V_Storm

C52/100
A new Dungeon comes into being beneath the ground of Nerian-Silex. Following its strange instincts and system, it expands, grows, and tests those who enter its domain. Yet something about this Dungeon is different — something it doesn't know itself, yet instantly noticeable to those beyond its border. That strangeness may be the key to breaking through the barrier of nine, or the spark that ignites a continent-spanning war. For now, though, it is busy carving out an underground castle and has little time to listen to the cacophony overhead.

Dao of the World Walker

MylanWrites

C52/100
Chen Yang died once and was reborn as a helpless infant in a world ruled not by science but by cultivation, where enlightenment shapes reality and the Dao governs all things. His death and rebirth also awakened a strange ability: the power to travel between worlds — not as a conqueror or hero, but as an observer and learner. Rather than chasing power through violence, Chen Yang walks a rare path: scholar first, cultivating understanding through crafting, quiet contemplation, and deep exploration of each realm he visits. Every world offers new truths that shape his growing comprehension of existence itself.

He heads to the frontier town of Tallrock and, as soon as he gains his class, the newly minted Cycle Mage has one goal — farming. Given a starting parcel of virgin land, Kastigan must decide what to grow, what animals to raise, and who to hire — all while surviving in wild monster-infested territory, dealing with a Legion Commander who hates him for no apparent reason, and uncovering lost relics from a forgotten time.

Adamant Blood

Arcs

C52/100
Mark Careed has dreamed of being a hero since he was eight years old — fighting monsters outside the city walls, going anywhere he wanted instead of only where it was safe, standing shoulder to shoulder with the real heroes against kaijus. Now almost 18, Mark is close to taking the real Tutorial and Awakening his Power. But his hopes collapse when the False Tutorial estimates his future Power as a brawny — simply a stronger human, the fate of 90% of humanity. Mark refuses to accept it. Determined to change his fate, he sets out to do something drastic: seek help from an archmage, a true Hero of Humanity. A story of exploration, slice of life, kaijus, magic, other worlds, trauma, and growth.

Together they'll build Blade's Rest — a haven for weary adventurers to relax after a day of questing. A cozy, slice-of-life town-building LitRPG where fighting isn't the only way to level up.

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)

Andur

C52/100
Ever been a god? Well, the protagonist was — until he died and got judged by the other gods. Apparently they didn't like the whole "my faith is the only true one" idea. And for the record: the Apocalypse wasn't intentional. For punishment, he gets sent on what he hopes is a vacation. A rewrite of the original story, featuring improved grammar, filled plot holes, and a lighter comedic tone following a fallen deity navigating a new existence.

Choose Your Apocalypse

JLMullins

C51/100
'A Rounding Error has Occurred. Please Choose Your Apocalypse as Compensation.' Alex Johnson — a home-based IT worker — is thrown into a brutal LitRPG apocalypse and handed the chance to design his own end-of-days. Like choosing wallpaper for his personal inferno. Enemies, skill tree, sidekicks — all semi-customizable. Of course, the universe is cruel and capricious. Hidden forces are at play, uninvited and unwelcome, seeking to control his fate. So Alex is going to be fighting uphill, against the odds — and probably some interdimensional middle managers — from the word "go."

Cultivating Common Sense In A Xianxia World

JohnPLoveRaft

C49/100
Transmigrated into a fifteen-year-old farmer's body, the protagonist finds himself in a xianxia world before sects, before elders, before any of the usual structures — and without a System, a golden finger, or a cheat to help him along. Cultivation exists, but no one has mastered or systematized it. Warlords conscript farmers into meat grinders, and cultivators operate like weapons of mass destruction. Armed with knowledge of three hundred cultivation novels and a commitment to rational thinking, he must throw out every trope he ever read. No convenient cave with an ancient manual. No sect to join. Just a world that needs someone to introduce a little common sense — and build the institutions from scratch.

Rith

C49/100
Sisters Jun Arai and Jun Sana, along with their friends Juni, Ling, and Shu, make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau — an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna of their home Great World. When they are dragged into a grand scheme to uncover the ancient secrets entombed within the Yin Eclipse Mountains, one of their world's foremost forbidden zones, they must survive dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents, and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that rather hoped it was done with that sort of thing.

A Real Human Being (Frieren)

Wiererid

C49/100
A human dies, a demon wakes up. Strong, fast, immortal, naturally talented in magic, capable of picking up languages with ease — what's not to love? It's hard to enjoy life when nothing causes real enjoyment anymore, and your emotions are dim, distant, and foreign. This is a story about a man turned demon, trying to find a way to keep himself together and maybe, one day, reclaim the humanity he lost.

Reincarnated as a Brewer (Against My Better judgement)

Julian Merrow

C49/100
Alric wakes up in another world with all the usual assumptions already in place: a sword, a system menu, and the quiet expectation that he'll start acting like a hero. He doesn't. Instead, he starts paying attention. Coins circulate too long to make sense. Measurements are imprecise. Beer is sour, but everyone drinks it anyway. As Alric tries to find his footing, he brings habits from a more systematic world: watching how things are done, tracking what's missing, and assuming that inconsistencies point to underlying rules. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they reveal reasons things were never fixed in the first place. A slow-burn isekai about logistics, brewing, and what happens when methodical thinking collides with a society that functions — imperfectly — on its own terms.

Illuminaria

Capaluchu

C48/100
When Joe died, he did not expect a screen to appear inviting him to join the world of Illuminaria — a fantasy RPG-like realm with stats, skills, monsters, and quests. Given a second chance at life, Joe must find his footing in a world with rules very different from his own. The story follows a healer-focused MC who grows into a chimeric being, with injury and disease playing a large role alongside rich world-building. The emphasis is on plot and character over raw power progression.
