The Uprising of The Hero Party's Underling

Rio Uehara

F11/100
Ten years ago, a sixteen-year-old with main character syndrome got isekai'd to Averula — a world of monsters, a Demon King, and Heroes carrying the kingdom's hopes. He joined the Hero's party as the sixth member, the one everyone called the errand boy, spending three years cooking, running errands, and giving massages, only to die in the final boss fight when his comrades decided he wasn't worth a Resurrection Elixir. He woke up back in his old world and spent the next decade living a quiet, peaceful life. Now the god responsible wants him to go back — right to the moment before it all started. He's not thrilled about the idea.

Reborn as a Fantasy General

J. S. Boyd

F11/100
Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict — but his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to shut down his course entirely. There is, however, another world. A world of fantasy races locked in constant strife, on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have nearly given up hope. Marcus, with his extensive knowledge of battlefield strategy, might just be the man to save them. Small- and large-scale battles, political intrigue between elves, trolls, orcs, lizardmen, and ratlings — each with their own kingdoms and motivations — and a protagonist whose tactical mind is his greatest weapon.

Kingdom of Iron: Tyrant's Fall

WanderingLeaf

F10/100
They say a good man cannot make a good king — but what if he isn't given a choice? Matthew Irons, a night security guard with two degrees and a dead-end life, stops a murder by force and is dragged onto the throne of a kingdom in another world. It's no fairy tale: he'll be ruling over would-be warlords, traitors, and slavers. The threats from his supposed allies are bad enough without the invasions, assassins, and — worst of all — bad city planning. Still, even as he fights to survive in a world full of danger, Matt is determined to drag his new kingdom into a new age, one where kings and despots are no longer needed — no matter who he has to fight to make it happen.

Savage Utopia

Elliot Moors

F10/100
The Concord system was designed to give the worst criminals a second chance — ten peaceful Professions to guide the souls who arrive in Faerlon after death toward productive, harmonious lives under a goddess's wise guidance. It did not go as planned. An assassin anti-hero and a buff tomboy brawler navigate a world where a system built for peace is being exploited for brutal combat. Gritty action and tactical fights unfold across a slow-burn story with in-depth worldbuilding and a childhood-friend romance.

Wastrel Heir of Velmoria: A Regressor Magic School Adventure

Daoist Enigma

F9/100
The kingdom's last defender had one chance to send his memories back in time. He chose wrong. The Sword Warden of Cravess watched his knights burn alive as Black Mana consumed his lands. With his dying breath, he passed his memories sixteen years into the past — not to himself, but to his best friend Lucan Velmoria, a genius who'd accomplished legendary feats before dying to save the Warden's life. Except that genius never existed. The real Lucan is an outcast drowning in wine, heir to a dukedom he never wanted, with a Shadow Mana affinity no one has ever advanced past Second-Circle. Now, with his half-sister marked for assassination, his mother trapped in endless sleep, and memories of techniques he has no idea how his future self mastered, he must figure out the impossible — and rewrite the ending.

The Lamp That No Longer Shines: A LitRPG Action Comedy

Broken_Bulb

F9/100
I was a game designer. Now I'm a Witch. Witches don't cast spells by candlelight and pray to the moon — they audit gods and harvest planets for fuel. They settle academic disputes at gunpoint, and the loser writes her rebuttal from the afterlife. Their idea of mercy is turning your civilization into a battery instead of fertilizer. The problem is, I'm the only one who arrived at this civilization with a corporate mindset. Everyone else is an immortal, overpowered genius who treats reality like a personal sandbox. Nobody here has needed documentation — or anyone like me — in two thousand years. I am trying, very politely, to bring version control to a species that considers chaos a design philosophy. But here's the thing about these arrogant, violent, impossible women: if I ever fall, they will burn a galaxy to bring me home. And for the first time in two lifetimes, that means something.

Return of the Hell Ranger

The_Bizone

F8/100
Half a million soldiers. One mission: kill the Death God. They called it the Glorious Expedition — sending an entire army through a portal to the underworld to save mankind. It was a suicide mission. Marcus was a low-level Scout when he entered with his comrades. After two decades of endless battle, he alone remained — now a max-level Hell Ranger who killed the Death God single-handedly. He returns to his world with nothing but his weapons, uniform, and the memories of the fallen, only to find that twenty years in the underworld equated to four hundred years back home. Killing the Death God isn't going to be the end of mankind's chaotic history, and Marcus finds his peaceful retirement pushed back once again.

After returning to Gaia, Ethan must gather allies and levels to become as strong as possible. A war is approaching on the horizon — one that will encompass the entire world and shake the foundations of newly integrated humanity. Will he overcome his own weaknesses and become the leader he is destined to be, or will he fail and become just a small footnote in the grand scheme of the multiverse? For now there is just one thing he can do: get ready. Because Gaia now enters the time of preparation. Equipped with powerful ice magic and horrendous plagues, Ethan fights to forge a faction capable of surviving the coming conflict — in a merciless world where the strong survive and the weak perish.

Extra's Mantle: Wait, What Do You Mean I Shouldn't Exist?!

NekoSama#9999

F6/100
In the beloved novel "Mantle of Gods," four chosen heroes are destined to save the world — and fail spectacularly, leaving reality to burn in eternal darkness. As a reader of that story, transmigrating into it as Jin Winters, a nameless extra not even mentioned in the text, was already bad enough. Landing in Vienna — one of four cities slated for annihilation in the opening act — made it worse. Armed with meta-knowledge and a cancer survivor's stubborn refusal to die quietly, Jin awakens the mysterious "Mantle of Harvest," a power system the protagonists never fully understood. But knowledge only matters if you live long enough to use it. Ninety-one days until the veil falls. Ninety-one days to grow strong enough to change a fate written in blood.

Kingdom Lost

DeepBlue

F5/100
Riley wakes up in a world that already expects something from her. She has nothing — no gear, no knowledge, no protection. Just a hostile forest, something hunting in the dark, and a system that has already marked her as a novice and expects progress. It doesn't explain the rules. It doesn't offer help. It only measures what she builds and what she survives. Every resource must be scavenged, every improvement must be earned, every mistake leaves consequences that don't go away. And whatever stalks the woods at night knows she's here. There are no chosen ones, no free power, no second chances — only progress, starting from zero.

The Rise of Ashborn

Forst-Icicle

F4/100
Civil engineer Arthur Vance was two days from his wedding when a truck ended his future. Instead of death, he awakens in the body of Oliver Ashborn — a frail thirteen-year-old noble who has just survived an assassination attempt. The once-powerful Ashborn family is collapsing: mines exhausted, roads ruined, territory drowning in debt, and powerful enemies already circling. But Arthur is not a noble. He is an engineer. Armed with knowledge of physics, chemistry, and structural engineering, he sets out to analyze and systematize magic itself. If mana follows rules, it can be understood. If it can be understood, it can be engineered — and in a world where magic decides power, one mistake could destroy everything.

Path Of The Unbound Flame

P_Magno

F4/100
A truck. A heroic sacrifice. An isekai adventure — with one tiny, flickering problem. Jessica has been reborn in a new world, but she's trapped in a form without limbs, voice, or a way to move — a single, dying flame. When a system message offers a terrifying and bizarre chance at survival, she must possess, adapt, and burn her way through a dark and unknown world to find a place where she can finally shine.

We are Void

Herald Of Chaos

F3/100
Humanity flees through a wormhole to escape a dying Earth, only to find themselves trapped in the Sanctuary — a reality with simple rules: kill monsters, gain levels, survive. But Zyrus Wymar knows better after regressing on an abandoned Earth. A universe-spanning alien invasion has persisted for eons, and the Eternals ruling the Sanctuary are merely wardens of a galactic fodder-manufacturing plant. To slay them and atone for his regrets, Zyrus abandons his human form, embraces a bloodline that evolves through carnage, and forges his own power by cultivating Void laws drawn from quantum theory. His ambition does not stop at revenge. A war rages to claim the origin of the universe itself, and Zyrus will erase anything in existence to reach it.

The Broken Arcanist

Aleth08

?
The guild ruled Thorin ineligible. The crystal confirmed it. With no path through the official system, his only option is an illegal branding — and affinities so weak that brute force is never on the table. Every fight is a calculation. Every mistake costs time he doesn't have. With his cousins Clay and Quin at his back, Thorin learns to weaponise broken power through planning, restraint, and hard decisions. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants control — and to reclaim what his name once stood for, whatever it takes. A cultivation-LitRPG blend inspired by Warlock of the Magus World and Reverend Insanity.

Sovereign Sight

Nicoli Gonnella

?
Without Talent, you are nothing. In Harker's world, Talent decides everything: status, power, and potential. He has nothing but the smallest of Knacks for perception — just enough to keep one step ahead of the townsfolk who hate him. Coupled with strict personal Laws and a sharp mind, he has survived the worst of their attention. But survival isn't living. When a storm curses Harker and enhances his small Talent far beyond its natural Scope, he suddenly possesses power that greedy hunters would kill to claim. His only hope lies in the one place his mother always forbade: the Nine Spires Academy — where he must reach and pass an entrance exam before the curse kills him.

ArchMage Knight of Frost

Elend Rathbone

?
Rue's body has always been valued for one thing only: his blood. Called a savior while being slowly drained dry, he dreams of running — of dooming billions if it meant finding freedom. Beautiful dreams. Foolish ones. Then the System arrives, announcing the merging of millions of worlds and a grand tutorial involving trillions of beings. It should be Rue's chance — but instead he is thrown into another prison, where a Succubus demands he take the Warlock class or die. Rue is done with prisons. When the System offers him compensation, he takes it and chooses his own path: ArchMage-Knight of Frost.

Sen Locke slew gods, saved the world, and became known as the God of Magic — yet even he hit the ceiling of his System. Seeking stronger opponents and a System capable of supporting his growth, he traveled forward in time. Things went sideways. His notes were scattered across history, secret knowledge was unleashed, and he now faces the ruins of a kingdom he once helped build. Low-level mages wield spells that were considered overpowered in his own era. Armed with a unique new class, Sen enrolls at the world's top-ranked magic academy, determined to catch up to the god-class magicians of this age and discover just how far the System has come.

The Conqueror's Rise

Orion Walker

Drev Cauhn went in for his class assessment like everyone else — and came out a Conqueror, a class that hadn't appeared in over three centuries. Now every guild, noble house, and power player in the city wants a piece of him. At eighteen years old, Drev isn't interested in being owned. He's interested in building something. With a class that scales faster than anything in living memory, a guild at his back, and a growing circle of exceptional allies, he's reshaping the world. But power draws attention — and the noble houses and rival guilds have decided that an unaligned Conqueror is too dangerous to leave free.

Small Unit Tactics

Alexander Romanov

?
A strange, foreign world. Mysterious judges with capricious rules. Thousands of gamers find themselves split into factions and pitted against each other at the whim of an unknown higher power, with no idea how they got there or why they were chosen. Dying hurts — but it is not the end; dead players always respawn. Echo, with his deep knowledge of fighting, armor, and weapons, has all the makings of a great leader. His ragtag unit, fighting under the less-than-threatening name 'Society of Pinprick Enthusiasts,' becomes the terror of opposing factions. But this game won't be won in straightforward skirmishes — it will require pacts, adaptability, and a strategic mind to carve a way to the top. Originally a massive hit in Russia and widely regarded as a forerunner of the LitRPG genre, this series is presented here for the first time in English.
