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

Bimbanana

D27/100
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.

I Tricked a God

Mortykay

D26/100
Born with a soul mutation desired even by the Gods — perfect memory — Kael could recall every word, every book, yet not a single drop of mana. Mockery, beatings, a ruined family, and a desperate deal with the God of Knowledge and Madness condemned him to centuries of slavery in the endless Divine Library. Seven hundred years of torment turned him into a vessel of knowledge. Then hatred — and the stolen Canon of Primordial Void — gave him a chance. Kael escaped back into his fifteen-year-old body, months before tragedy struck. Now he carries not only memory, but the knowledge of countless worlds. His goals: protect his family, hide from the gaze of the Gods, walk the path of power once denied to him — and take revenge against the God who enslaved him.

On the cusp of realizing how to be herself, a young woman's life ends in tragedy. Reborn as a demon, she hopes that answers, revenge, and closure await her at the end of her journey home.

Designated Love Interest

Kleo Erili

D25/100
Jacob Williams has only one rule: stay out of trouble. Breaking it once to save a bullied classmate from drowning costs them both their lives. Jacob awakens not as a shining hero, but as Shaelith — a violet-skinned, pointy-eared elven noblewoman and daughter of a ruthless matriarch who rules a house of assassins and mushroom sorcery. For twenty years, Shaelith learns to survive in this underground world of brutal matriarchal scheming. She masters sorcery, survives assassination attempts, and becomes one of the most powerful diplomats of her generation — until she is kidnapped by goblins and rescued by an obnoxiously loud hero obsessed with quests and XP, who has decided she is his designated love interest. Shaelith has absolutely no interest in that. An asymmetrical LitRPG where the protagonist wields wit, magic, and politics rather than an overpowered stat sheet — while the clueless hero's system grows around her.

Academy of Grinding

TheHaoboSpatula

D25/100
Numbers are everything. In a meritocratic school, 100,000 students from across the galaxy compete to reach the top of the ranks — a competition to become humanity's strongest warrior. The TAG System, designed like an idle mobile game, seems deceptively simple. But someone needs to beat the Most Important Special Exam For The Future Of Humanity — and the path to the top is anything but.

Demonic City Builder

Cattacomb

F23/100
He filed 101 support tickets. The System turned him into a demon. Kairon is a system clerk who finally gets his own city charter. He does what any good bureaucrat would: reads the entire Terms of Service, finds a loophole, and exploits it. Unfortunately, doing so calls down a pillar of hellfire that roasts him, his villagers, and everything within a league. Now he's a demon with ten confused imps, a giant tower with a floating eyeball, and a rudimentary system that tears buildings through rends in reality — while a theocratic empire prepares to hunt him down.

Magic Breaker

Kernoel77

F23/100
The only thing Snow loves more than magic is taking it apart. When the Tower begins integrating Earth, humanity is granted inherent skills. Snow's [Suppression] can weaken anyone and anything, and combined with an anti-magic class and a near-limitless mana pool, it won't matter how strong, fast, or skilled an enemy is. Before the Tower fully integrates, Snow needs to find four specific people. After that, they will climb — all the way to the top. The arrogant gods watching from the Tower's peak need to be torn from their thrones, and Snow is ready to break them.

Villainess of Tangled Tragedies

Pope Pug

F23/100
After a late-night drive ended her life, a woman wakes inside the first webnovel she ever mocked. In "Tower of the End," Celestia von Reingarde was nothing more than a petty villainess — a spoiled noble girl remembered only for bullying someone until the hero arrived. One humiliation, and she faded away so the harem could bloom. Except now she has become Celestia. She planned to slip quietly into the background and let the story run its course — until a system warning made that impossible: [Warning! Existence will be erased when Story Relevance reaches 0/100.] Obscurity means death. To survive, Celestia must become relevant.

This Necromancer Raised Civilization Instead Of The Dead

Bimbanana

F22/100
In a world of magic and dragons, humanity's greatest hope is the Summoned Heroes. The Church of the Goddess, the only institution capable of performing the summoning ritual, made a catalogue — different tiers, different classes, different budgets. Because even the poor deserve their own personal hero. Unfortunately, one budget-conscious kingdom got Theo: a professional séance scammer and a necromancer who couldn't control the dead. So they threw him away. What no one knows is that Theo can summon the dead — but his System only lets him call souls from Earth. From Archimedes to Nikola Tesla, Julius Caesar to George Patton, Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs. Men who shaped civilizations, now answering to a scammer. A kingdom forged from Earth's greatest minds to devour other kingdoms — and perhaps even the Goddess herself. There is just one problem: right next door lies the Demon Kingdom, and it has been waiting.

Steven Kelliher

F22/100
Karna was just like any other comic book fan, and in Titan Online — the most popular VR MMORPG going — he finally got to live out his cape-donning fantasies.

Forced to start from scratch, Karna finds a new mission: bringing balance back to Titan Online. With a strange new power and unlikely allies, he hatches a plan to save the game and get a little revenge. When the heroes can't be trusted, it's up to the villains to save the virtual world.

When a mission goes wrong, he awakens in a brutal new world where survival means taking lives and growing stronger with every soul consumed. Among six exiles from Earth, only one can return home — and five must die. Ray needs to get back to settle a score, so the other earthlings are out of luck. Empire-building, conquest, and survival in a Dark Souls-inspired world where the system arrives early and mercy arrives never.

Death's Disciple

TT.Reynolds

F22/100
Sometimes it's the villain who has to be the hero. As Dungeons begin to open across Earth, Adam Pierce survives by facing blood, brutality, and murder — and he walks out of the Tutorial as the disciple of Death itself. When it's discovered that these Dungeons are handing immense power to anyone ruthless enough to take it, Adam sees the catastrophe before anyone else: humanity is greedy and weak, and without something to unite the species, it will kill itself. So Adam decides he will unite the world himself, by becoming the Villain of the System Apocalypse. It means he is hated — but humanity thrives while he wades through betrayal and murder. Because something far worse than the Dungeons is on its way, and Earth will need to be ready.

Simon wants change. Reform. Revolution. He'd do anything to achieve it. His opportunity comes when a god visits Earth, calling for a champion to be sent to the dying world of Valtia — seeking a paragon of true heroism. Instead, they get Simon, who fools the god into transmigrating him over. On Earth, he lacked the power and influence to change things. Here, he may be starting weak — but he's got plenty of room to grow stronger. Simon is going to rescue the people of Valtia and save their world. Whether they want him to or not.

Blighted: A Plague Rat's Tale

Notsae

F20/100
Waking up as a reviled vector of plague, a nihilistic, power-hungry sociopath attempts to free themselves from the shackles of mortality and time. In a world racked with war, crime, and unfocused violence — partially fueled by a system that encourages random acts of senseless violence — one little rat seeks to murder his way to the top of the food chain. Betrayal, mass murder, war, a curse from the dead gods, unfettered magical experimentation, slavery, rampaging monsters, and a raging holy war have rendered this world a violent hellhole: perfect for a violent opportunist to thrive in.

Henchman

Carl Stubblefield

F20/100
Gus is a Henchman — content with his mid-level role on an orbiting space base and under no illusions about the dangers of getting too ambitious around Supervillain bosses. His father pulled strings to land him the job. Then the base is destroyed and Gus is hurled toward the planet below, surviving only because of a damaged escape pod and the sudden awakening of his own latent powers. Stranded on a deserted island and inexplicably hunted, Gus has to stop being a minion and start being the master of his own story. As some would say — he's no longer just a Henchman. He might be a Villain now.

Goth Mommy, Bone Daddy: Life's a lich, Then you die

ReignyDaze

F19/100
Modivar, the last light of salvation, had done it. He reached max level and saved the world. All it cost him was everything he had ever known and loved. Now he is cursed — he broke his oath, and that oath is killing him. So instead of living out his days as a hero, he chose to go as far away as possible and spend whatever time he has left as nothing more than a simple potion seller. He found a village with no name, no buildings that weren't run down. At his wit's end, at the end of his life, he didn't expect to find Belladonna. He didn't expect to find love. He didn't expect to find a reason to live on beyond death. What started as a prank gone horribly wrong turned into a love story that would last an unlifetime.

Ren awakens the Mage Class and with it inherits a legendary legacy long dormant within him. But completing his First Class Evolution means surviving a deadly zone filled with undiscovered monsters and stopping an alien invasion that could bring about the end of humanity.
