A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

Acaswell

A75/100
When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teenager from the Denver suburbs. She woke up in a magical alternate dimension inhabited by monsters and governed by a mysterious System — where people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the System isn't Alice's only challenge. An underground organization called the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions. If they find out about Alice, they will stop at nothing to extract the secrets of her world by force. Now Alice must pursue her scientific endeavors, learn to harness the magic around her, and uncover the Society's ultimate intentions — and how she ended up here — before it's too late.

Mythshaper

Eon R. Solara

A75/100
Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path. Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell — and even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn earns attributes, points, and power through stubborn hard work. Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God. None of this should have mattered to someone living on the fringe of the empire — until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.

Prophecy Approved Companion

Tevagah

A75/100
Qube was designed to die. As the cheerful childhood NPC companion who helps the Player learn the world at the start of the game, it was only natural that the big bad would kill her at the end of the tutorial, kicking off the Player's quest for vengeance. The only problem: no one told her that. And this particular Player doesn't like to play by the rules. Being a chaos-loving gremlin, he glitches her out of her programming and drags her along on various adventures — grappling with friendly sharktopuses, Evil Emperors, and the question of what it means to be a person. As Qube breaks the world in increasingly strange ways while seeking to be the very best Companion ever, she slowly realizes that her reality is not quite what it seems. A loving parody of old-school games and every player who has ever thought "what happens if I do this."

In Clawed Grasp

Seth Richter

B74/100
Five years in the prime of his life, wasted. Just as Cayden was about to gain his freedom, everything changed — he found himself in a new world without explanation, a world of magic and limitless possibilities. Orc, elf, ogre — hundreds of possible races. Blacksmith, fighter, rogue — thousands of possible classes, each with tens of thousands of possible skills. Reborn into a new world, Cayden will choose a path entirely his own, forging himself into something powerful enough to protect himself and the ones he loves. A LitRPG following Cayden from infancy as he learns the rules behind the system governing this world — and then pushes them as far as they can go.

Dungeon Crafting

Jonathan Brooks

When she dies and is reborn as a Dungeon Core, she finally gets her wish in the most unexpected way: a dungeon built entirely around crafting. With a Gnome apprentice enchanter as her ally and the ruins of a world that desperately needs what only she can provide, Sandra must defend her dungeon from orcs, rival cores, dangerous elves, and her own rapidly expanding influence — all while trying to get back to what she loves most: making things.

Crystal Shards Online

Rick Scott

B74/100
Ryan's life sucks. His brother is a jerk, his mom is sick, and his legs are next to useless thanks to a neurological disorder. In a post-nuclear world where what's left of humanity lives underground, the only escape is the massive VR world of Crystal Shards Online — but even there, Ryan can't play a combat class, so he works as a miner barely scraping by. When Ryan discovers an item that grants the ability to dodge any attack, he has the chance to become one of the game world's most elite players: a Dodge Tank. To save his mom's life, Ryan will have to overcome his disability and level his way to the top — but the real-world consequences reach far further than he ever imagined.

One man, known as Gnat, rises through the ranks to become the Kung of Earth — humanity's representative and defender in a vast galaxy of competing alien powers.

All electrical wiring has been slagged, combustibles neutralized, and evil space rodents are appearing on the front lawn.

Midnight Bounties

Cassius, Castor

B74/100
Stuck with a shoddy nightclub after a job gone wrong, Frank has to figure out how to rebuild something he never even wanted. That's just the first of his problems. In Sankta Varath, the greatest city in the Steelheart Kingdom, he'll have to party with orcs, barter with gnomes, drink with dwarves, and make shady deals with the city's underworld — all while managing a staff that includes a drow bartender, a religious zealot waitress, an ogre bouncer with a sleeping problem, and an orc dancer. Frank isn't a manager, has zero people skills, and even fewer connections. A cursed sub-class and a game system that actively screws him round out his advantages.

Super Villain System

vVip3rzzz

B74/100
Something is wrong with the world. Beyond the eldritch horror encroaching from beyond and invasive man-eating aliens, the Federation of Man just isn't right. Superheroes aren't much of heroes anymore, and super villains — well, they just aren't super. The Federation is desperately lacking a proper villain. Luke was fine being a cashier, watching villainy be made a mockery of by amateurs. But after being robbed, electrocuted, and beaten all in the same week, some screws got knocked loose. The state of villainy is not fine, and Luke is bored, crazy, and stupid enough to believe he can change it. A mystic entity called the Architect apparently agrees — planting a system on Luke that wants only one thing: evil done right.

The Dark Herbalist

Michael Atamanov

B74/100
Timothy is offered an unusual deal: work as a tester for a popular MMORPG — unpaid, long hours — for the vague promise of mysterious future perks. He accepts, because this is the one thing he is truly good at, and because someone he cares about already lives a virtual life. Playing as a small goblin herbalist in the game Boundless Realm, Timothy finds himself rising far beyond a simple tester role, navigating a world where millions of players have it out for him and the game's secrets run much deeper than anyone suspects.

Rune Seeker

J.M. Clarke (U Juggernaut)

B74/100
Hiral is the Everfail — the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior and studies longer than any scholar, but while all his people channel solar magic through tattoos on their bodies, Hiral cannot. Despite enormous energy within him, his hard work counts for nothing. Until it isn't. In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a single instruction: access a Dungeon to receive a class-specific reward. It is his first — and maybe last — chance at real power. The only problem is that all dungeons lie in the wilderness below the flying islands, in a place no one has survived.

That is, until human hunters attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters. Now alone in a harsher world, she won't give up — she'll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge and get her family back.

Ivan Kal

B74/100
The world has ended, and those worthy of it have received a chance for new life in a new reality — the Infinite Realm. Zach grew powerful in the post-Framework world, becoming a respected leader. But as the world ended, his only thought was to punish the monster who had killed it. Not even his incredible power was enough to stop the World Ender. Ryun survived by pushing harder than anyone. He became the most powerful being to ever walk the planet — and is hated for it, called the World Ender by all. Stepping into the Infinite Realm, where beings stronger than him have lived for centuries, he finds himself lost and without purpose. Two men. One world that fell. And a new one that may follow.

Blessed by Death: An Archmage's Second Life

B74/100
Levi was once the servant of Death itself, spending years eliminating arcane threats to the world. His final task carried a terrible cost, and he retired to a life of solitude — until Death returns not to reap his soul, but to offer a blessing: reincarnation into another world where no one knows his name. Levi accepts, only to awaken in the body of a disgraced noble son, disinherited and on the verge of expulsion from the Institute of Ascension. Death apparently left some things out. He's fine with that. Let the nobles sneer. He's an archmage — so long as he has his magic, he can take on anything. He's been gifted a whole new life, and this time, he intends to live it as an adventure.
