KevinMc

C46/100
When magic returned to Earth, it woke things that ought to have stayed sleeping — like the cadavers Selena Serrano's med-school class was supposed to be dissecting. With the electric grid down and gunpowder no longer exploding, goblins, undead, and dragons roam a changed world. To survive the Magipocalypse, Selena will need to understand magic, harness it, and in the process become something more than she was. Welcome to the Accidental Necromancer.

The Dramatic Dungeon: A Dungeon Core Story

Fatomir

C46/100
In a world where Elves and Goblins are real, where Wizards and Witches cast terrible magic, and where level-100 Heroes lead parties against great evils, Dungeons are essential — places where stories are written, loot acquired, and legends born. And the narrator of this story is a Dungeon. Known as the Playwright, this Dungeon Core invites adventurers to the "Stage of Forgotten Fables" for a dramatic dungeon delve unlike any they have experienced before. Told from the perspective of the Dungeon Core itself, the story shifts between multiple POVs to show the growth of its characters. The LitRPG elements of levels, skills, and classes are present, though the focus leans toward narrative over number-crunching.

Virus: Origin of Blood

Chaos65

C46/100
The world didn't end with a bang. Instead it suffocated slowly — a long fight for survival against monsters and others like them. Isaac experienced it all from the beginning. While humanity scrambled to understand the Contamination Zones overtaking the Earth, he fought for his life and tried to embrace the Virus that had become part of him. Origins, Legacies, attributes — familiar terms that meant little at first, but that quickly changed. Humanity adapted, monsters died, and Isaac? For the first time in his life, he was searching. Searching for a purpose, a goal. And if that journey began with hundreds of monsters lying dead at his feet — so be it.

Chloe the Zombie: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

Evil Lemon

C46/100
Being a zombie used to be boring. Chloe walked around the dungeon, got chopped up by adventurers, and respawned — over and over, until one day she woke up. Now she has smarts and a taste for freedom. Why stay in a stinky dungeon when there's a whole world to explore? Gods are stirring up chaos and treating the world like a game, and powerful factions are moving to stop them — but Chloe is mostly just here to eat brains.

Dungeon Scholar

hotachan

C46/100
Rowena Loress is a good-hearted Scholar driven by compassion and curiosity — and more than a little combat-averse. When she encounters a dungeon, the relationship that unfolds is unlike anything a typical dungeon story would suggest. The world is full of dungeons and monsters, and the story won't be purely light or fluffy. But the sweet moments are meant to overshadow the bitter, with the dungeon gradually becoming one of the most significant presences in Rowena's life.

OGsecurityviking

C46/100
Björk was an ordinary man living an ordinary life — working as a blacksmith in a nation plagued by recurring civil wars, raised with divorced parents, and burning with a desire for something more exciting than his mundane existence. That desire will make him truly understand the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" as he finds himself ripped away from everything he knew. His only strength is his ability to simply go with the flow, no matter what happens. Will he survive? Thrive? Find a way home? A semi-interactive story where reader polls help shape the narrative.

Defier of Fate

J P Koenig

C46/100
When Fate itself fails to kill him, even the gods should tremble. Taliesin was supposed to die in an apocalyptic war, sacrificing himself so his people could escape. Instead, he found himself lost within the Void beyond time and space — a realm untouched by creation yet bound by Fate itself. There he glimpsed the Akashic Records, the foundations of reality, and understood the secrets that grant gods their life and mortals their power. But even the Void couldn't contain him forever. Pulled into a new world spiraling toward its own Ragnarok, Taliesin refuses to let another civilization burn. With nothing but his wits and fragments of his former might, he must reclaim his strength, forge powerful alliances, and rewrite destiny before the Twilight of the Gods consumes all.

Arachnomancer

Dustin Tigner

C45/100
Dhane kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion — every bone crushed against the full force of a 40-ton garbage truck. His soul bounced into the abyss between worlds, drifting until an excited soul watcher fished him out and found him a new home: a heaven for gamers, with classes, killing mobs, and a beautiful fantasy world full of mysteries. At least, it would have been those things if his first day had gone a little differently. Instead, he finds himself locked in an eternal conflict between light and shadow — humans and monsters — potentially as the enemy to all. Join Dhane as he explores his new world, full of unique characters, RPG mechanics, and spiders — ugly, terrifying spiders — while learning what it means to be an Arachnomancer.

Reincarnator Raised By Dragons

BlaiseCorvin

Now he's living a new life on a beautiful fantasy world, raised by the best adoptive parents imaginable: dragons. He is a Champion of a goddess, born a goblin, and raised in a dragon's cave for two peaceful decades of study and rest. But when his adoptive parents ask him to undertake an important task that dragons cannot do themselves, Kevin isn't surprised — he's excited. He's been curious to explore this new world. And more than anything, he still holds out hope of finally finding magic he can truly learn.

Prelude: To Domathra

Markus Dirkshire

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.

We don't go into the Forest. We don't go into the Sea. When Wake Utono's world is shattered by the Sea Titan, the young sailor vows to stop at nothing to take his revenge. As he begins his journey into Knighthood — fighting alongside warriors and alchemists who turn the Titans' own power against them — he begins to suspect that the systems of Falrok War College are hollow imitations of something far more powerful. With humanity on the brink of collapse and the vast domains claimed by the Titans' spawn, Wake must start from nothing but a single axe. But the paths to power are broken. The system of progression is missing. So what does it take to wake a sleeping god — and what else might he disturb in the process?

Lucas is a dick, but you would be too if you died in a meth lab explosion and found yourself in a fantasy world. Now, with only his ruthlessness and an ever-increasing body of alchemical knowledge, he has to make his way in this new world — because being poor sucks no matter where you are. He has no idea what's going to happen, but he isn't dying again, because he already knows the afterlife is pretty much bullshit.

Mask of Humanity

SlaughterBot

In New London, year 2493, Nicolai is a centuries-old killer whose brain was implanted into the body of Zero-Twelve, a militarized killbot.

Given one direction — find the Lizard — Nicolai is thrown into Nightmare, a world of cultivation, undead, demons, spirit beasts, sects, and clans. He finds himself in a decaying castle constructed by a mysterious people, now filled with purposeless undead caught in an ancient war entering its final stages. For Nicolai, this new world is a dream come true. After a century trapped in metal, he is free — and he can resume his endless goal: to become the greatest fighter alive.

Advent of Eternity: A Tactical LitRPG

Actus

D44/100
The Gods were believed to be immortal — so far beyond the natural laws of the universe that their crimes went unpunishable. A clock hung over every mortal, counting down to the day the Goddess of Death claimed them. Knell Coda was never born in the normal sense. He came into the world outside the reach of the gods, to a family that had committed the cardinal sin of defying them. Their meddling wound the hands on a new clock — one that hung above the heads of the gods themselves, because of one secret Knell uncovered: the Gods can be tricked, defeated, and killed. To most, seeking the head of a goddess would be madness. To Knell, it is an inevitability.

Deus in Machina

Tony

In a galaxy forsaken, infernal gateways tear the world asunder, unleashing Hell's legions to crush all in their grasp. From the ashes, Theosis — the Divine System and God's voice in the temporal realm — ascends, forging a grand Empire and waging four millennia of merciless Holy War against the Underworld's evil. Far from the Empire's light, on a savage world, Angar is forged in fury as a gateway to the abyss tears his homeland apart. His maul thunders with unyielding hate, offering crimson tithes to the Lord as he carves a blood-soaked path to glory — or damnation. A new Crusader rises.
