Cinnamon Bun

RavensDagger

A81/100
The world called out for a hero to purge it of great evil. It received Broccoli Bunch — explorer, expert cleaner, occasional ghost-buster, and full-time Cinnamon Bun. Broccoli's approach to adventure is unconventional: talk enemies into becoming friends, hug menu boxes, and wield overpowered skills like Cleaning and Gardening. Her personal quest is simple — make all the friends. All of them.

Soul Caller

Seth Ring

A81/100
Ever since he was little, Merrick had been blessed by the Great Spirits, granting him an unusually strong connection to the Song of the World. With his Warrior Ceremony approaching, he was sure his greatest wish was about to come true — until invaders from another world began creeping into his people's land, intent on devouring every resource they could find. When Merrick offers to guide a rich young prospector's group into the untamed wilds, he finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew. Fierce wolves stalk the dark and poisonous insects hide under every leaf, but the true danger lurks in the hearts of his companions. Armed with a Guardian Spirit he doesn't understand and strange knowledge of the future, it will take every ounce of courage and fortitude Merrick can muster to make it out of the mountains alive.

How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps

Delve

SenescentSoul

A81/100
An average guy wakes up in a forest with no idea how he got there. He wasn't summoned to defeat a demon lord or save the world — as far as he can tell. He can't speak the local language, and not everybody immediately trusts a pajama-wearing stranger they found in the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It's about avoiding death, figuring out what's going on, and making friends along the way. The main character takes an unconventional path as a support mage focused entirely on mana regeneration — a build most adventurers consider foolish. The numbers in this story actually mean something, and progression is measured not just in personal power but in allies, connections, and hard-won knowledge.

Periapt

lost_rambler

A81/100
"Return to Periapt" was an internet rumor — a creepypasta about a cursed computer game hidden on an old CD-ROM that could appear in the strangest places. The game followed explorers on a wild continent of magic beasts, wagon trains, and deadly trails. Those who played long enough said it felt real. They said that if you played long enough, it actually became real. Hollis Hood knew it was no rumor. He knew why people called it cursed, and he knew about the oath that let you leave your world behind — because he had played the game as a kid, and when it offered him an escape, he said no. A choice that haunted him for fifteen years. This time, he arrived prepared: trained, planned, shaped by fifteen years of purpose. But the starting town was abandoned, plagued by a fog that consumes all caught in its wake. The adventure hadn't waited for him.

Riftside

Cassius Lange, Henrik Saetre

Ash just wanted to clear his family's debts in the frontier town of Dawnwatch.
