Fantasia

unice5656

B73/100
Arwyn has just bought Fantasia, the first fantasy-based VRMMORPG with 99% realism that you can play while you sleep. In the game, she becomes Fey, a moon elf starting in the magical Elvenwood. Join her — and her snarky narrator who likes to interject sarcastic comments in parentheses — on her exciting, often hilarious adventures inside a magical world full of every fantasy creature you've ever encountered, and a few you haven't. Oh, and there's something strange about the NPCs in this game. See if you can figure it out before Fey does.

Dungeon of Knowledge

timewalk

B73/100
Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells. Like most Fae, her destiny seemed clear — until the day of her Class Trial, when the Blind Lich unleashed an undead apocalypse on her home, the fabled underground city of Dal'mohra, triggering a cataclysm that forever reshaped the world. Saved by her mother's legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew is gone, buried under a mountain and transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich. Now Ali must master battling monsters and braving corruption while the Lich hunts her unique magic. As her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to survive, she must decide: falter into the eternal servitude of undeath, or rise against all odds and cast him down.

The Exorcist Doctor

Maradina

B73/100
Gael Halloway is a brilliant but unlicensed doctor practicing medicine in the slums of a city smothered by toxic mist. Magic parasites turn people into monsters, and the upper-city barons hoard all the symbiotic systems and bioarcanic weapons, leaving the lower city to fend for itself. When a parasite-hunting exorcist stumbles onto his doorstep—half-dead and missing a partner to link with her symbiotic system—Gael sees his chance to make a difference. Limb-worshipping gangs, mad plague doctors, and flesh-hungry ghoul cults stand in his way, but he intends to rid his district of the wretched parasites, upgrade his clinic, and carve out a sanctuary in a city that has long forgotten the taste of fresh air.

Dork Tower

RavensDagger

B73/100
When an accident causes the early death of two young women, one is chosen to become a hero, a saviour, and a servant of the God of Heroes. This is not her story. This is the story of Valeria, whose soul clung to her friend's and was dragged into a new world where her wandering spirit was claimed by the Goddess of Darkness. One who doesn't belong grows to become the servant of the Dark Goddess — a servant, definitely not a daughter, who will usher in a new age of despair and disgust. The only problem is, she's really bad at the whole "evil" thing. Not that she's unwilling to do her best to please her adoptive mom, the Dark Goddess Luciana.

Dosei

B73/100
Adam is no one special — just an accountant standing in line at a bakery one early Saturday morning. Unfortunately, fate has other plans when the black cubes show up before he can get his pastries. The cubes are the heralds and guides of the Trials of Defiance, and they've decided that Adam, along with every other able-bodied human adult, is to become a Player in their game. Humanity's future is at stake, and it's all but inevitable that Adam is going to die. Despite everything, he overcomes the first Stage and attains some measure of power — then discovers a way to kill the black cube following him around. The only problem is that killing the cube takes him down with it. Oh, and it also gives him the power to go back in time when he dies. A roguelite-inspired GameLit with infrequent time loops, a weak-to-strong protagonist, and huge build variety across Relics, Weapon Types, Divine Boons, and meta upgrades.

Codename: Freedom

Apollos Thorne

B73/100
With war on the horizon, the government must accelerate their super soldier program. They have developed a new Virtual Reality system — the perfect tool to find and train recruits outside the military. Against all odds, Lucius, a semipro gamer raised by an AI companion named Destiny, is selected to participate in Codename: Freedom, a VRMMO with one key feature the developers neglect to mention: 100% pain, no dampeners. Thrown into the game with barely any time to orient themselves, Lucius and the other participants find their entire player city under attack. With the world watching live, Lucius faces an opportunity to build a following and impress sponsors — if he can survive long enough. This is far from just another game.

Obelisk - System Integration

Conor Malachi

B73/100
Ominous Obelisks land on Earth with a single message: join the games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive — or be destroyed. Warren isn't the rolling-over type, even with cancer slowly killing him. He has nothing left to lose. But once the games begin, he starts to wonder if a hospital bed wasn't so bad after all. He pushes forward anyway. Humanity needs him, and Warren has never known how to quit.

Cat Girl Evolution

Bedivere the Mad

B73/100
Yona wasn't always a cat, but she is now, and she's living her best cat life. No silly Quests or Systems are going to get in her way — until they do. Stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight to survive and return to the mainland. Or she could just pig out, nap, and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. One thing she won't do: swim. And that makes escaping the island considerably more challenging. Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up something — as gods tend to do.

Absolute Mastery: From Servant to Sovereign

XKarnation

B73/100
He was the world's richest man — islands, armies, a fortune that could buy nations. Then he died and woke up in the brutal Star River Sect as a lowly servant with no Spirit Root, the cultivation world's equivalent of a death sentence. He is destined to be cannon fodder, or worse, a test subject for the sect's alchemy experiments. But fate left him one parting gift: a System called Absolute Mastery, where every repetition increases proficiency, ignoring talent and bottlenecks entirely. While geniuses meditate for years to gain a sliver of power, Kael just has to grind. They call him trash. He calls them XP.

Tower of Power

Ivan Kal

B72/100
Morgan used to be a pretty normal guy — college by day, online gaming by night — until he got hit by a car and a man in a wetsuit appeared with an offer: a second chance at life in a world built like the games he loved, with the promise of great power for those who complete the Tower of Power. Dropped into a strange new world where everything wants to eat his face, Morgan stumbles onto two half-elf twins willing to help him get his bearings. Now he just needs to survive long enough to reach the Tower.

An Outcast In Another World (Subtitle: Is 'Insanity' A Racial Trait?)

KamikazePotato

B72/100
On the first day, he almost died. On the second day, he almost died. On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost died. Crushing loneliness? Danger around every corner? All of that has become part of his daily routine. That's fine. He'll carve out a place in this world with his bare hands if necessary. He'll survive, and then he'll thrive. Whether anyone wants him to or not.

The Gate Traveler

TravelingDreamer

B72/100
John, a 37-year-old widower, is feeling lost. Grief, regret, and the weight of the past push him to long for something new. When he discovers a way to travel between worlds through dimensional Gates, he takes it. His class has the potential to be overpowered, but he's not in it for fights, fame, or power. He moves at his own pace — healing, helping out when he feels like it, and keeping track of it all in a kind of diary. It's more about the journey than the destination, about magic and new places and figuring out how to live again. This is a slower-paced LitRPG written in a semi-journal style, focusing as much on the inner journey as the outer one.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror

Actus

B72/100
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe — unfathomable, utterly evil, and fond of being called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic regardless. Starting his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy — but when he's assigned to room with a strange girl whose magic even Henry is wary of, things get complicated. He sets out to become a powerful mage while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that has created a teenage persona, and a roommate far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles with the ramifications of the monster within him, a disturbing truth emerges: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane — and Damien may be the only one who can stop them.

Father of Constructs

Aaron Renfroe

B72/100
Lorith's magic is fading. Centuries ago, heroic adventurers stopped the World Boss' cycle of rebirth by reducing the creature to one hit point and sealing it away — but by ending one calamity, they halted the natural flow of magic within the world and brought about the Havoc Plague. With all civilization now on the brink of collapse, humanity's only hope is to find and kill the World Boss again to restart its rebirth cycle. When the Plagued janitor Harvey accidentally kills the missing World Boss, he gains a million experience points — making him the target of almost every would-be adventurer in the world. Burdened with ancient knowledge and hunted by countless rivals, he must join with unlikely allies to find the reincarnated World Boss and defeat it again before it can ravage the world anew.

Villainess Of Crimson

Mangowo

B72/100
Elidranthia Shadowstep was everything you'd desire in a fictional villainess — her tongue as lethal as her concealed daggers, a connoisseur of chaos, a leader of assassins, and an unhinged lover of all things stabby. When an ordinary girl finds herself stuck in the stilettos of this bloodthirsty character from a novel, she's dead set on avoiding the gory trail. Sure, she's never hurt a fly before, but when your new body is a walking arsenal, keeping calm and carrying on gets a whole lot harder.

The Spoken Queen's Swarm

TheDudeFromCI

B72/100
The Vex are a monstrous swarm—man-eaters feared across the world and killed on sight before they can grow and consume everything in their path. Rythica is one such monster: a hive queen whose egg was smuggled into a human city and raised in secret by unlikely guardians. Grown up without ever meeting another Vex, Rythica wages a constant internal war as brutal alien instincts clash with the politics, strategy, and mercy she has been taught. As she approaches maturity, the world can only hope that compassion is something that can be learned—because a Vex never forgives and never forgets.
