Akaso

C59/100
Betrayed and murdered for daring to expose corrupt deeds, Brunhilde Krahe is snatched from death by the capricious hand of cosmic coincidence and reborn into a bizarre world of magic and conspiracy — eldritch knowledge in her brain, cosmic fire burning inside. She copes with her own death the only way she knows how: by continuing her work in the new world. Ruthless mafiosos, corrupt politicians, lowly gangsters — there is more than enough work for an investigator with no qualms about hyperviolence. Do not make peace with evil. Nuke it.

Rebirth as a Wind Cultivator

Erios909

C59/100
When Li Mei dies in a traffic accident after another soul-crushing retail shift, she awakens inside her favorite game, Phoenix Kingdom Chronicles — inhabiting the body of Lin Xiulan, the scorned second daughter of a noble family. Armed with knowledge of the game and hard-won experience dealing with difficult people, Xiulan refuses to be the family's punching bag. She must master alchemy, tame spirit beasts, and perfect martial arts while fending off scheming sisters and a manipulative stepmother. She also carries knowledge of a devastating future that threatens the entire realm — and surviving her own family long enough to act on it will be the first challenge.

Listening to the rumors, the narrator can't help but feel that a plan to secure a comfortable administrative post has somehow gone awry.

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future

RE Druin

C58/100
Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage invented a video game to train people on Earth for a coming catastrophe. The gods seized the opportunity to take the templates — and even the souls — of some of those characters for use in other worlds. Sama Rantha is one of those characters. Being a Hagchild and surviving after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your race at level one on a gamescreen. Book One follows Sama's Road to Ten in a traditional LitRPG fantasy setting, heavy with gaming terms and rules-lawyering as she min-maxes her heart out to survive a world intent on killing her. Book Two shifts to a sci-fi/fantasy/psionics mashup as Sama is sent into a grim dark galaxy she'd rather not be in — but the heart of a powergamer never says no.

Respec On Death

Godric

C58/100
Fifteen years after Earth was forced into the Sarlenac Games, over half of the population is gone, culled by the System without mercy. Each year, thousands of Gates open to hostile worlds — fail to clear them in time, and ten percent of Earth's population dies. Specialist Jimmy Novak is a low-level combat medic with nothing to his name but scars, sarcasm, and a refusal to quit. When a routine Gate spirals into catastrophe, Jimmy makes a choice the System never accounted for, and something older than the System takes notice. [Skill Activated: Respec on Death.] With each death, Jimmy changes — new class, new build, new tools for survival. But the cost is steep, and the enemy is no longer just monsters. The System is watching. The gods are stirring. And Jimmy Novak is becoming something far more dangerous.

MADMAN APOCALYPSE

Dosei

C58/100
The whole world has gone mad, so it's a good thing that Gambit is already insane. Locked away in a padded room, Gambit watches as the world goes to hell — blood rains from the sky, screams echo through the city, and monsters tear through reality. The world transforms overnight into the GREAT GAME: an apocalyptic battleground where monsters hunt, dungeons materialize, and the System destroys everything humanity once knew, all for the entertainment of an unseen audience. Armed with nothing but his fists, a talking plushie named Panda, and a glitched character Class that shouldn't exist, Gambit fights his way out of the asylum. But his existence triggers alerts across the GREAT GAME, drawing the attention of its agents who hunt players that don't follow the rules. In a world where insanity transforms humans into the very monsters they fear, Gambit's fractured mind becomes his deadliest weapon.

Bloodstained Blade

DWinchester

When the sword awakens, it has slept so long that it has forgotten everything but hunger. It is a weapon made to feast on death and blood — the more bodies it leaves in its wake, the stronger it gets. Bloodstained Blade is a fantasy GameLit where the main character is the blade itself, not the person wielding it. Expect the wielder to die and be replaced as the Ebon Blade pursues its own goals, no matter the cost.

Keeper of Totality

Infinityphoenix

C58/100
The death of the Hero reset the timeline — not what Lucy had intended when she made that last soul attack while dying. Returned to Earth, she attempts the obvious: use her knowledge of the future to dominate the System's five realms. Except things go wrong immediately. A Shard of Totality is now lodged in her eye, her Status is broken, and the Hero remembers everything — and has his own agenda involving her other identity, Adrianna Riftmire. She may be doomed. But as a master of soul magic and former Archmage, she is far from defenseless. This might just be her best chance to permanently defeat the Hero of Light, whose powers distort destiny to ensure his success.

Tal, The Risen

A. Stargazer

C58/100
Tal is one of the elite undead soldiers of the Zozheim empire, resurrected from the corpse of an uncounted sacrifice. He does not know the man's name. He does not care. The body is his now. They say Tal exists to serve — and so he drowns and murders and pillages in the empire's name. But one thing is becoming clear: he exists. And soon, that fact will terrify his creators and their enemies alike.

Humanity's #1 Fan

Illiriel

C58/100
When the apocalypse comes, Ashtoreth betrays Hell to fight for humanity. She was always too optimistic, too energetic, too nice — never fit in with the other archfiends. She was supposed to study humanity to help destroy it; instead, she fell in love with it. But as she tears through the tutorial recruiting allies to her cause, she quickly realizes something strange: the humans don't trust her. Sure, her main ability is [Consume Heart] and her class is [Bloodfire Annihilator], but that doesn't make her evil — it just means every enemy drops an extra health potion! It may take some work, but Ashtoreth is optimistic the humans will come around. After all, she has an important secret to tell them: Hell is afraid of humanity.

100th Run: A Regressor's LitRPG Adventure

Flossindune

C58/100
The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens. Confusion reigned as everyone struggled to survive in this new reality — everyone but one man. Anthony Franklin had a secret: he had lived through this exact series of events ninety-nine times in a row. Drawing on centuries of accumulated knowledge — every play, shortcut, and strategy — he must save as many lives as possible. He will contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever-watching eyes of the system administrators, and guard his back from scheming players with their own agendas. With every individual carrying their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Win or lose, his 100th run will be his last.

World Tree Apocalypse: A Pilot In Another World LitRPG

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C58/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper. A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

Diagnosis: major aspect impairment, no cure. Faced with expulsion, Terry finds unexpected kindness that costs him his academy place but gives him a home with a caring family. Resigned to exploring mana cultivation, he never stops searching for his own path as a mage — day after day, season after season — looking for compatible spellwork.

Lunatic Sword

RabZ YT

C57/100
Some live by the sword — Alex is imprisoned by it. Not that he's complaining; he likes swords. In a world of swords and sorcery, some are born with divine blessings that lead them to challenge the heavens, while others are punished by fate and forced into suffering. For Alex, it's all irrelevant. As long as he has his sword, every tragedy is a joy and every obstacle is just more time to polish his blade. There's nothing that can't be solved with a good sword cut — unless the enemy is a ghost, in which case he'll need a church. A battle-focused progression story with a sword-obsessed protagonist whose genius is strictly limited to swordsmanship.

Earth stands dead. Follow a broken man's desperate journey as he searches for freedom — trying to generate enough power to escape not just from a ruined Earth, but from the remnants of human colonies now controlling the solar system, who see him as little more than a machine. It won't take long for him to discover that the universe is nothing like he imagined. The emptiness he envisioned isn't there, nor is the easy life of leisure he dreamed of. Instead, danger and opportunity lurk around every corner — and for those not brave enough to face them, only death awaits.

Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead he woke up in a nightmare. Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class — Healer. That's when things start feeling off. He's leveling far too fast, and his so-called support class feels anything but weak. His only ally is a too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal. Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

RavensDagger

Entirely sane space-racer Diana Slowbane pushes her ship past its limits to bag first place — and in doing so, breaks the laws of causality. She sends herself, her ship, and her AI companion ChaOS hurtling across the Milky Way and into Federation space, where she becomes the first human to meet any of the locals. She immediately demands they race. A completed action-adventure story full of racing, nanomachines, an overpowered AI that still can't handle an insane human, and plenty of chaos.

Determined to make the most of the fresh start, Emie must find allies and begin her climb anew — except this time, she plans to actually live her life instead of focusing solely on progression.
