A Sith? During The Fall

Dondokin

D41/100
Darth Zaros was the Empire's Wrath — the greatest Sith Warrior and a man feared across the galaxy. He was also just an Old Republic game character, until the player somehow woke up as him. If that wasn't bad enough, Zaros was sent thousands of years into the future, to the eve of the Great Jedi Purge. Alone and surrounded by enemies, can he survive long enough to figure out how he got there — and find his way back? Armed with the powers of a Sith Lord and the knowledge of a devoted fan, Zaros must navigate a dangerous universe where a single wrong move could unravel history.

Data Dragon Danika

gusdefrog

D40/100
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. The "Living Jade Empire" is said to create individualized quests, read your mind, and reveal your heart's desire — but the reality is more grounded and stranger. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old stories humans have passed down since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, and fantasies. In the end, will the game figure out what Danika truly wants? Or will playing it change her until she desires what it can give her?

Project Stellar

Roman Prokofiev

D40/100
When the shattered fragments of the Black Moon collapsed onto Earth, they split continents, flooded them with raging oceans, and unleashed hostile energy that warped the laws of physics and created monstrous new life forms. The last remnants of humanity have no answer. So Project Stellar activates its final instruction: Incarnation. When there are not enough living fighters left to defend Earth, the dead will rejoin the ranks.

Dark Fate

Stuart Grosse

D39/100
The world ended — or rather, the world as it was known ended, replaced by one with a System, with levels, hit points, and stats. Monsters spawned and preyed on the weak. The Black Knight rose as one of humanity's greatest champions, striking down warlords and monsters to protect the people. Then, at the moment of his greatest triumph, he was betrayed by his lover and closest friend and struck with a cursed blade. The explosion cast him back in time, into his own body before the System Apocalypse began. He had been a hero — and all it earned him was betrayal and death. This time, he would become the darkness itself, and bend it to his will.

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D39/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.

Path of the Hive Queen

Tejoka

D39/100
A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness, climbing out of an egg with no memory — only human knowledge that doesn't match her body. She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

Battle World

Cassius Lang

D39/100
The Great Ones arrived on Earth and conquered with little bloodshed — they came not for resources, but for humanity's strongest warriors. Those warriors are shipped to Hadran, an artificial planet that serves as a cosmic gladiatorial arena where slave races fight for the entertainment of their masters. Earth has now lost its last true champions and risks losing candidate status entirely — which would make it a target for cleansing. Clint Rogan is forcibly merged with a faulty symbiote and dropped into Terraria One, a starting zone that resembles the Middle Ages. With humanity's fate in the balance, Clint and the other new arrivals must rebuild, conquer territory, and survive long enough to give Earth a fighting chance.

Grass Eaters

spooker

D39/100
When alien civilizations clash in war, you would not expect a prey species with short claws, blunt teeth, soft hides, and no natural hunting instincts to be a threat. But as one unique species of psychopathic Grass Eaters rises to the apex of the food chain and begins ruthlessly exterminating their peaceful neighbors, the dying carnivores ask: who can possibly stop this interstellar menace? This anti-cynical HFY sci-fi story reverses the usual predator trope, focusing on technology, military strategy, and a grounded, positive depiction of humanity. Includes space battles, POV-switching (including antagonists), and occasional slice-of-life that moves the story forward.

How I Became the Strongest Man in the Galaxy

bd90z

D39/100
Peter Brookes should be dead. Instead, he's been abducted by aliens, tasered awake by a condescending robot, and offered a chance to earn a place in a galaxy-wide battle royale watched by trillions. The rules to qualify are simple: grow stronger, reach the top of the leaderboard, and don't die. Given a cabin, a few tools, a stat system, and no useful skills whatsoever, Peter's solution is obvious: chop trees until reality breaks. Joined by a smug, talking arboreal observer, he ignores danger, takes absolutely nothing seriously, and accidentally becomes terrifyingly powerful. A comedic progression fantasy featuring steady growth, escalating nonsense, and a protagonist whose answer to life-or-death situations is usually, "How hard can it be?"

Adam Sampson

D38/100
Five years after a failed alien invasion, Earth maintains a fragile peace with orcs, elves, and dwarves. When a necktie-wearing orc walks into the magitek exosuit repair bay demanding the best rune mechanic on Earth, Luke is volunteered for interspecies employment — leaving Earth to repair advanced magic mech suits for monster hunters. Then he straps into one of those suits himself and discovers a taste for danger and profit. With a handpicked crew of battle-hardened monster slayers, Luke dives into deadly missions one monster core at a time. But the System of the World has other plans, granting Luke a powerful magic class and making him a player in a far greater game. Navigating ever-growing monster threats, secretive elvish plots, and cutthroat corporations, Luke's only hope is to get stronger than anyone seeking to use him. They want a pawn — he plans on clearing the board.

Lennox chased criminals across the galaxy until a scrambled wormhole pulled him from everything he knew and dropped him in a fantasy world with a system interface. On Komax, two factions wage endless war: the lizard-folk of the Scaly Faction against the elves, dwarves, and humans of the Ordinatus Faction. Lennox's years of training translate to impressive stats and legendary gear — but he isn't interested in being anyone's hero. Fate, however, has other ideas.

Burning Starlight

Ryan Stennet

D37/100
Retirement was supposed to be simple: a quiet apartment near the Saginaw River, maybe a hobby or two. Blake Connover survived decades of military and mercenary work to earn that peace. It lasted two weeks. When a mysterious wormhole tears open above the river and drags Blake into the unknown, retirement becomes the least of his worries. Stranded on an alien world and fused with an advanced bio-tech suit he barely understands, Blake has to adapt fast. The suit's real owners want it back, the locals aren't exactly friendly, and the universe is a lot bigger — and stranger — than he ever imagined. From haunted starships to cosmic cultivation, his retirement plan is officially out the window.

Caleb hasn't had a good day since he was abducted into outer space. The food is terrible, nobody understands a word he says, and the aliens won't let him leave his cell. Best he can tell, he'll need to fight to escape and survive. Confronted with hostile aliens intent on holding him prisoner, Caleb chooses to dive headfirst into forces he can't understand — learning the eddies of the alien worlds he's stranded in, or never making it home. If a hallucination of one of the other abductees can be trusted, maybe they can make it through the trials before them.

A Chronicle of Lies

Mekanip

D37/100
Vincent Cordell, a college student with schizophrenia, doesn't want to be different. He just wants a normal life — something his condition has never allowed. Voices whisper, walls bleed, eyes sprout in strange places. Getting a degree in electrical engineering is hard enough without worrying about falling into the abyss of his own madness. One dark night, the abyss pulls him in. A supernatural entity strikes, a car accident becomes anything but ordinary, and Vincent finds himself thrust into a majestic alien world where dragons walk like men. A painful, impossible transformation leaves him in a body he doesn't know how to use. An ancient evil stirs, strange storms leave terrors in their wake, and the natives believe he has the power to save them — but he wants nothing to do with their prophecies.
