A Student Wants to Live

Boris Romanovsky

D35/100
A college student witnesses the descent of Earth into hell firsthand. A dark object has arrived on Earth and transformed half the planet's population into zombies — creatures that grow stronger with every human they kill. Alongside the zombies roam mutants and bizarre monsters of enormous strength. Levels, abilities, and unknown objects have changed the world. The only chance of survival is to fight — and by killing zombies, mutants, and monsters, humanity grows stronger in turn. Andrej Primus intends to become the strongest of all.

Isekai'd As A Lord Of The Manor

Kuzunalis

D34/100
William died chasing a promotion. He woke up as Alden, eldest son of a Baron in a medieval world where monsters descend from the north every winter — and everyone relies on a powerful Duke's fortress city for shelter. Until now: for the first time in living memory, the Duke is charging an exorbitant fee to enter, and Alden's dirt-poor village can't pay. A former London engineer, Alden carries modern knowledge into a world of parchment and swords. With elves, dwarves, and orcs as fellow survivors rather than enemies, and fate pushing responsibility onto him far too soon, he must do what has never been done before: transform an overlooked frontier village into something that can endure the impossible winter. If the world won't save them, he will.

Broken Class: A SPY LitRPG

Tory Riter

D34/100
Arthur was a top-tier spy, right up until he broke the first rule of espionage: never uncover a secret that will get you killed. Now he is dead — or rather, reborn in a brutal system-driven world obsessed with voluntary slavery. Armed with sarcasm, spy training, and a system-gifted wildly overpowered skill set, Arthur does what he does best: ruin everyone's evil plans, one corrupt tyrant at a time. If they cannot find him, they cannot stop him.

Factory of the Gods

Alex Raizman

D33/100
After one too many failed inventions, Julian hits rock bottom — and then gets summoned to another world where gods and monsters roam. His streak of bad luck continues immediately: rather than touching the Godcore directly, he lets his smartphone absorb it. Now he has to figure out how to make the Godcore and his phone work together to help the people who summoned him survive their upcoming annihilation by the mad God of Chains. Julian has a plan: he's going to build a factory in a medieval world.

Reach Heaven Via Feng Shui Engineering, Drug Trade And Tax Evasion

melmonella

D33/100
In a world of immortals and demon beasts, where a modern empire seeks to break old blood debts, dispel superstitions, and resist the Heavens that smite all who step out of line, young cultivator Qian Shanyi is drawn into the orbit of a classical xianxia protagonist whose luck gushes out of his ears. Can she survive, thrive, and ascend into the Heavens using nothing more than cunning and tenacity? It starts with engineering and turns into tax evasion, but at the heart of it is one question: cultivation is the ultimate freedom, but what does freedom mean when the Heavens hold all the cards?

In the System

Petr Zhgulyov

D33/100
Ivan Susanin, an unemployed techie, is transported by the System to an unknown location along with a thousand other players. He has a spear, basic weapon skills, and 24 hours to earn enough XP to return to Earth — or remain trapped forever. The game takes place in the ruins of a massive city where the undead lurk and goblins raid the outskirts, but the most valuable prey may be the other players. Beyond the local objective is a global one: in the center of the city stands a temple to a fallen god, and until one player captures the Altar, the mission repeats. Ivan must decide whose pawn he'll become — or take the risk of staying independent.

Building World Peace (And Democracy) with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Bimbanana

D32/100
Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.

Northblood, they will call him — a blessing and a curse.

No Need for a Core?

A. B. Zagaroth

D32/100
An ancient, dreadfully powerful entity once sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter — though in a much reduced state. A temple monk on her way home for vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus by the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, setting off an entirely unexpected chain of events. A kitsune whose death moved a goddess to pity is revived as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded. Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being.

A 55-year-old American wakes up in the body of Constantine Palaiologos in 1429. No system. No magic.

Michael Jameston must deploy diplomacy, reform, logistics, and gunpowder to drag a dying empire into a new age. Grounded in real 15th-century history, this is a story of military campaigns, court intrigue, technological innovation, and state-building in the final years of Byzantium.

System Cultivator: Righteous Young Master in an Unworthy World

RAIDBOSS

D30/100
He was born to rule the world — a prince, a prodigy, a once-in-centuries talent destined to usher in a new era of prosperity. Instead, at a young age, his foundation was shattered, his cultivation destroyed, and his path to immortality severed. Exiled to a barren backwater without qi, he learned to live as mortals do — for today, not for a future that might never be. Brick by brick, with the help of his countrymen, he built a new and better world. Then, buried beneath an ancient desert, he discovered a legacy capable of granting him god-like power — hidden precisely where no cultivator would think to look. Now he must decide: retake his throne and fix his father's broken empire from within, or destroy it.
