I Became a Mother in Another World

Urmie

C46/100
Samaya Dhar, codename Maya, is a Special Agent who finds herself transported to a strange and unfamiliar world mid-mission. Her immediate priorities: find appropriate clothes, figure out where she is — and decide what to do about the half-dead child she finds in an alleyway. She'll take the little bun with her. She'll still find a way home. Or so she thought, until the boy turns out to be a Prince, and his father wants him back at the Palace. This is the story of a woman protecting her found family while navigating politics, harem intrigue, and assassination plots — and one infuriating man at the center of it all.

Unconquered Tower

DR PEAK

C46/100
A hundred years ago, thirteen towers arrived on Earth. Each year at noon on the summer solstice, the tower gates open, admitting any who wish to climb. Those who survive return with incredible powers and riches. Over the decades, the worlds inside the towers have leaked free, changing Earth and her inhabitants. Except for the Thirteenth Tower — the Unconquered Tower. Nobody has ever left it. Every year it leeches more life out of the world, turning the American Southwest into a growing graveyard. If it isn't cleared, it will consume the planet. Roan doesn't care about that. The tower has long been the gravestone for his family, as generations have tried to best it and save their ancestral homes. All he wants is to put one burning question to rest: are they dead? He only needs to clear the tower to find out.

The Factory Must Grow - Book 3: The Wheels Must Turn

NorskDaedalus

C46/100
Constructing a portal is a monumental undertaking, yet the Forerunners have guided dozens of civilizations to that end and know exactly what is needed: thousands of laborers, hundreds of brilliant artisans, dozens of powerful mages. As the culmination of years of work, they tear a hole in the fabric between realities and travel between worlds. There is simply no reasonable way for only five people — prepared for a standard Isekai scenario yet now stranded on a hostile and alien world where mere survival is a challenge — to ever build a portal. But reasonable people don't become Forerunners.

Traclaon Armageddon

Alex Kozlowski

C45/100
Eric Peters has been reborn — sent back in time to change humanity's fate. After experiencing a future where all of humanity's planets and colonies had been purged, Eric refused to fall, and an Entity chose him to be humanity's last hope. The Reborn are galactic boogiemen — myths used to terrify children and curb the aggression of advanced alien civilizations, usually granted powers able to destroy star systems. But in Eric's case, the Entity gave him abilities barely classed as special. With only his memories and a couple of minor boons, he must survive evil elements within humanity, circling alien races, and change history enough so that when the Traclaon Empire declares war, his species can fight back.

We Lease The Kraken!

Osamaru Ta

C45/100
Jeremiah Bridge had it all: a clear path to becoming an inter-planar veterinarian, a life of privilege in Prima City, and the unwavering support of his brilliant sister Sarah. Everything crumbles when Sarah is framed as a villain and killed in disgrace. Branded by association and cast into the chaotic streets of Nexus — a world where magic, technology, and myth collide — Jeremiah is left with nothing but questions, grief, and a strange pendant pulsing with mysterious power. When the System, Sarah's final unfinished masterpiece, chooses him, it pulls him into a world of impossible creatures, cryptic bargains, and shadowed truths Sarah never shared. There's just one thing he can't figure out: why does it want him to open a pet shop? A story about revenge, grief, redemption, and finding good homes for good boys.

Deus in Machina

Tony

C45/100
In a galaxy forsaken, infernal gateways tear the world asunder, unleashing Hell's legions to crush all in their grasp. From the ashes, Theosis — the Divine System and God's voice in the temporal realm — ascends, forging a grand Empire and waging four millennia of merciless Holy War against the Underworld's evil. Far from the Empire's light, on a savage world, Angar is forged in fury as a gateway to the abyss tears his homeland apart. His maul thunders with unyielding hate, offering crimson tithes to the Lord as he carves a blood-soaked path to glory — or damnation. A new Crusader rises.

Mask of Humanity

SlaughterBot

Given one direction — find the Lizard — Nicolai is thrown into Nightmare, a world of cultivation, undead, demons, spirit beasts, sects, and clans. He finds himself in a decaying castle constructed by a mysterious people, now filled with purposeless undead caught in an ancient war entering its final stages. For Nicolai, this new world is a dream come true. After a century trapped in metal, he is free — and he can resume his endless goal: to become the greatest fighter alive.

OGsecurityviking

D44/100
Björk was an ordinary man living an ordinary life — working as a blacksmith in a nation plagued by recurring civil wars, raised with divorced parents, and burning with a desire for something more exciting than his mundane existence. That desire will make him truly understand the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" as he finds himself ripped away from everything he knew. His only strength is his ability to simply go with the flow, no matter what happens. Will he survive? Thrive? Find a way home? A semi-interactive story where reader polls help shape the narrative.

Somebody Stop Her

Vitaly S Alexius

D44/100
In the sleepy town of Saint Mary, the Kilborne superhero family's new neighbors are more than just odd — they're supervillains. School would be a breeze for Martin Kilborne if it weren't for Alexa Terranova, his raygun-toting classmate who recruited him as her minion. Martin becomes quickly tangled in Alexa's supervillain plots: stealing an ice cream van, destroying the Superstate, and bewildering time-travel escapades leaping between his Earth and a dead world 400 years in the future. His life transforms from mundane to madcap — an ever-accelerating train ride with no brakes, packed with adventure, dark comedy, and post-apocalyptic cosmic horror.

The Legion of Nothing

zoetewey

D44/100
Nick Klein is your average high school geek — if you can still call yourself average when your grandfather was a retired superhero and you've been trained in martial arts by a mysterious immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit: powered armor that lets him shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with the suit comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team, its jet, and forty years of trophies from fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends — descendants of his grandfather's teammates — attempt to bring back a superhero team originally formed during World War 2, facing both the normal problems of high school and the less normal problems left over from their grandparents' past.

The Rising

Louisthau

Only time and rust will tell.

Just as she started figuring out what to do with the rest of her life, she received an invitation from the Carroll Institute, a psychic facility that had identified her psionic potential. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers with obvious abilities, her own lack of apparent power becomes glaring. Then an explosive incident during a routine experiment reveals there is far more to Dyna Graves than anyone realized — and she finds herself pulled into a world of cutthroat espionage.

The year is 2245. Virtual Reality has long since transformed society — some people even abandoned their physical bodies for digital existence. Now the next leap has arrived: the Seed consoles, so immersive they qualify as Artificial Reality rather than VR. But what happens when things become too real?

A soldier wins an afterlife lottery and is given the chance to live again in another universe — the Star Wars galaxy — with access to lite-Gamer powers. Beginning almost four thousand years before the Prequels, the story follows an original character navigating a far-future iconic setting. The RPG system is present throughout but gradually pulls back as the character and world take center stage over the course of the long-running narrative.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10

Phillip Rayne

D42/100
Jonathan Kelly, a citizen of a multiverse-spanning organization, is dispatched on a solo Dive assignment to a pre-industrial exotic world designated Epsilon H-037-072-030-010. The world features morphologically distinct humanoids and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws — and its causal chain is only provisionally stable. This is not a story about an MC isolated in a new world. It is a story about a new world joining a multiverse — a subverted Isekai grounded in scientific and philosophical consideration alongside the adventure.
