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.

Universe's End

N. Francis

D33/100
The end of the universe came and went. An intergalactic war was waged, and the bad guys won when they pressed the big red button. Yet instead of the end of the story, Rory — a nobody in the grand scheme of things — finds himself almost completely alone in a fresh universe, one of eight precursors chosen almost entirely at random. With only an odd World Spirit for company, Rory must survive and build an entire universe from scratch. This is not the story of a plucky hero daring to challenge the gods of old. This is the story of how one of those gods came to be — their rise from a nobody in a brand new universe to a name known, sometimes loved, sometimes feared, throughout all of existence.

The Dimensional Wars

Blake Severson

D33/100
After an unfortunate encounter with a meddlesome Goddess, Arthur is given a second chance in a new world — one that runs on RPG mechanics. His directive is simple: help the people and spread the Goddess's name. The reality is anything but simple. Dravincia has been overrun by bandits who serve corrupt lords and keep the populace in ruin. Arthur must navigate politics, build alliances, and grow powerful enough to push back — or fail and hope for another try.

Reincarnated as a Brewer (Against My Better judgement)

Julian Merrow

D33/100
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.

The Soulstealer's War

kwerte

D32/100
A college student from Earth wakes up in the body of a Duplicate — an artificial soldier built from a template and deployed to hold the line against orc hordes threatening a crumbling empire. As an Atoning, he must serve on the front lines to pay off the "theft" of the soul he now inhabits. Survival is a luxury for Dupes. He is up against orcs, mutated monsters, and battalion members who want to put a knife in his back. But there is a slim chance to become more than just cannon fodder — to build something from the rot, and turn his name into a legend through skill-merging and earned progression.

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.

Prelude: To Domathra

Markus Dirkshire

D32/100
Torn from her life and cast into the world of her favorite game, Addy awakens as Nephthys — her own endgame character, a being powerful enough to level nations. But power does not come with purpose. At the head of a guild she built for conquest, not responsibility, Nephthys must decide how, and whether, she should wield the kind of strength that can reshape the world around her. Rengan is not a game. It will not wait for her to figure things out. Ancient forces stir, new ones rise, and whether she chooses to act or not, the world has already chosen her.

DB King

Planning to retire from adventuring to a quiet little farm, Erron purchases some cropland — only to discover that what he plants in the soil doesn't become crops. It becomes monsters. With this new revelation comes a new purpose: mastering the art of growing and taming creatures to defend his farm and everything he's built.

Tales of a Northblood

Carrie Summers

D31/100
Jace, a backcountry ranger, was hiking when he was suddenly somewhere else — a wind-battered coastline with salt air and crashing waves, nothing familiar in sight. Then game messages started appearing in his vision. With no explanation for his arrival, Jace must survive in a merciless environment by crafting everything with his own hands and mastering powerful abilities that surface in his body. Northblood, they will call him — a blessing and a curse.

Mana Architect: A Cozy Isekai Base-Building Adventure

Cynical Donut

D31/100
James Wright expected an early midlife crisis, not to be summoned into a dying world with nothing but a sarcastic floating light spirit and a class no one has ever heard of: Mana Architect. Not warrior. Not mage. Not hero. A builder. Dropped at the edge of a terrified, half-starved tribe, James discovers his class lets him create glowing mana blueprints — full 3D projections that guide construction like a magical architectural interface. The catch? Everything still needs to be built the hard way: real logs, real stone, real sweat. Suddenly their chieftain against his will, James must build shelters, train villagers into craftsmen, and keep everyone alive in a forest filled with mana beasts — all while pretending he knows what he's doing. With each new structure, the village grows, skills evolve, and people awaken rare classes. His class may be far more powerful than anyone knows.

Kevin McLaughlin, Michael Anderle

D31/100
A lab experiment gone catastrophically wrong opens a portal to another dimension and deposits engineer Charles Smith directly on top of an enemy sorcerer—accidentally saving the kingdom of Kortall and earning the gratitude of King Alfred. The reward for a job well done is more work. Alfred recruits Charles to help defend against an invading army backed by the Shadow Council. Wildly outmatched, Charles must blend science, engineering, and whatever magic he can learn to give Kortall any chance of survival.

In the System

Petr Zhgulyov

D31/100
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.

The Duke's Reborn Daughter Sometimes Chooses Violence.

TheLastSurvivor

D31/100
Esra Veyne. Most only know her as the 'White Ghost', a Duke's Daughter who never leaves her room — a girl fated to die in obscurity, if only someone hadn't reincarnated into her body. The new Esra has no interest in being a ghost. She wants to enjoy her new life. There's just one problem: everywhere she looks, she finds something that needs fixing, and she can't just let someone else handle it. Even if it means breaking fingers to get answers, using a traumatized girl as an assassin, or never getting to enjoy being a Duke's daughter in the first place. Hopefully, she won't have to solve every problem with violence. This Esra Veyne was never very good at staying in her room.

The Ghost of the Wastes

JCAnderson2025

D30/100
The Wastes do not create heroes. They create survivors. Cale Arcanus vanished ten years ago when a transport was lost beyond the borders of civilization. Presumed dead, his name became a footnote in a tragedy the Dominion preferred to forget. But the Wastes did not kill him — they forged him. In a land where mana turns feral, monsters replace law, and mercy gets you buried, Cale survived by mastering older methods of power: methods that do not fit neatly into cores, rankings, or institutions. Now he has returned. Arclight Academy wants to classify him, noble houses want to control him, and military and political powers want to decide whether he is an asset or a threat. They are already too late. Behind a quiet demeanor and a worn mask, Cale walks back into a world that no longer recognizes him — and one that will soon learn what it means to provoke something forged outside its rules.

A Modern Mind in Medieval Times

C. S. Valiant

D30/100
After his own arrogance destroyed his life, the depressed and blacklisted Jack escapes into strategy games — until he is reincarnated as the would-be savior of refugees fleeing a pogrom, in a world where the Vozoran Empire is swallowing the last independent kingdoms. An engineering and history nerd, Jack knows how to build a civilization from scratch. But knowing and doing are very different when his new people are living in tents, starving, and under threat from bandits. Meanwhile, a young Princess across the border searches for allies as the empire creeps ever closer. A kingdom-building story driven by problem-solving, real engineering, and a romance that shapes the fate of nations.

An airbender who can't fight is just a monk who's really good at running away. Sonam died in the 21st century and woke up at the Southern Air Temple — with twelve years before Sozin's Comet and a head full of memories from a world where this one was a TV show. The Air Nomads have thirty-six tiers of airbending. Every monk considers fighting back beneath them. Sonam is building the thirty-seventh tier, convinced that pacifism is a death sentence for everyone he knows — even if the order would rather exile him than learn it.
