Tower of Power

Ivan Kal

B73/100
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.

Depthless Hunger

Cognosticon

B73/100
Kai is the hardest-working warrior of his generation — and the unluckiest. In a world where most people receive magical skills, classes, or cultivation, Kai has nothing but his wits and his strength. His only choice is to forge a new path against fate, no matter where it leads. Savage monsters pour endlessly from the wasteland, threatening the survival of civilization itself. They say human strength alone isn't enough, that only those gifted with destined powers have a chance of making a difference. Kai is hungry to fight in that war — to be someone who matters. That hunger will take him across a world stranger and more terrible than he could possibly have imagined.

I Ran Away To Evil: Book 3 - A Cozy LitRPG RomCom

Mystic Neptune

B73/100
When she woke up in her favorite otome video game, she wasn't expecting to open the eyes of Gerda the NPC troll. Five long years of leveling up, dungeon delving, and treasure hunting — all to give everyone the happily ever after her favorite characters deserved. Season two is closing, and the final season is almost upon her. There are dragons in her future, and something even more terrifying: a lot of walking. Julian van Slyke has been guarding the border to the Untamed Ice Fields since his father died protecting their home twenty years ago. He is determined to conquer the dungeon his father couldn't — but now his home is threatened by Blackfog spies, and he keeps tripping on Gerda no matter where he turns.

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.

Level One Zombie

Matthew-McKay

B73/100
Frank isn't exactly a model citizen. He's also not here to save Earth — he just wants his favorite curse word back. Too bad the World Dungeon drops him in as a zombie with a level cap of 1 and a profanity filter that turns every F-bomb into "frank." Earth has been repossessed and rebranded by a megacorp called DungeonCore. The prize is ownership of the planet, and this season is Hardcore Mode: death means getting stuck in his Lair until the next expansion, losing everything. Humanity gets a head start, but deep-pocketed aliens are lining up to buy in. To make matters worse, hero classes went to the NPCs while actual players got saddled with monster classes. Frank spawns as a lowly zombie with only stubbornness, handyman's grit, and an accidental Universe First achievement that lets him build a class of his own. He's not a hero — he's not even technically alive. But he might be petty enough to move mountains for the sake of one four-letter word.

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.

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.

Deadman

Seersucker

B72/100
Even after the bombs fell, after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagining on one another, after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the protagonist is uniquely suited to deliver it. Rads don't bother him, and people who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. Sure, humans may not like dealing with a face like his, but you can't beat his express rates. A dystopian LitRPG in the vein of Fallout and The Postman.

FINAL CORE

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

B72/100
The senselessness of so much of the world's death and suffering becomes apparent to the dying paladin Isaiah in his final moments. He perishes — and is reborn into a quiet existence as a simple blackbird. But a spell gone awry transforms him instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal. Isaiah, desperate to return to his simple life, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen — tall enough to reach the reclusive gods in the heavens above, so he can demand they undo the transformation. But the humans below believe he is trying to destroy the world. [Dungeon-Core] [LitRPG] [Base-building]

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.

Who Says This OL Can't Become A Splendid Slime!?

Shinde

B72/100
A journey that began with a simple wish, taken horribly out of context. One ordinary life, one offhand desire for excitement, and suddenly our heroine finds herself in another world — as a slime. Thrown into the world with nary a leg to stand on, she surmounts increasingly difficult odds, battles with such heavy topics as "Is it really safe to eat this?" and "How am I supposed to slay a wyvern!?", and contemplates the existential question of whether this shade of pink makes her slime look fat. Will she become a savior, or this world's very own Demon Queen?

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.

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 Fortifier

D.K. Landtroop

B72/100
Surviving the first days of a reality-warping apocalypse, William is a wreck hiding in an attic. The daily acid storms, floating elementals, and bizarre mutated animals are the least of his problems — the apocalypse has rules and a system much like those in video games, and he has no idea how any of it works. Staying alive isn't enough. William will need to bring other survivors together and build a fortification large enough for all of them if he ever wants to strike back at the things that took everyone he loved.
