Medusa and the Blind Woman

BugDevil

B74/100
The legendary Gorgon Medusa spends a solitary life on her island of Sarpedon, interrupted only by the occasional expedition of foolish humans seeking to slay her for fame and riches. Everything changes when one such expedition brings along an unusual woman — a priestess of Athena born blind, and utterly unafraid of the Gorgon. Forced into an unexpected coexistence on the small island, the two dissimilar women must navigate opposing ideologies, the interference of mortal and divine outsiders, and emotions neither anticipated. As their bond deepens, the gods themselves take notice — and gods rarely make things simpler.

Worth the Candle

Alexander Wales

B74/100
A teenager struggling after the death of his best friend finds himself in a fantasy world that seems to be an amalgamation of every Dungeons and Dragons campaign they ever played together.

shortlemon

B74/100
Student practitioner Juniper Lorn had already been unsettled by a series of increasingly strange occurrences. The literal end of the world, however, had not been on her bingo card.

Infinite Realm: Monsters & Legends

Ivan Kal

B74/100
The world has ended, and those worthy of it have received a chance for new life in a new reality — the Infinite Realm. Zach grew powerful in the post-Framework world, becoming a respected leader. But as the world ended, his only thought was to punish the monster who had killed it. Not even his incredible power was enough to stop the World Ender. Ryun survived by pushing harder than anyone. He became the most powerful being to ever walk the planet — and is hated for it, called the World Ender by all. Stepping into the Infinite Realm, where beings stronger than him have lived for centuries, he finds himself lost and without purpose. Two men. One world that fell. And a new one that may follow.

The Arcane Emperor

Aternus

B74/100
Rainer, an amateur arcanist and college student, attempted to create a spell far surpassing the magic he inherited from his grandfather. The interference of an unknown event during casting hurled him through space and time — into a world where status screens are accepted as normal and class distinctions are matters of life and death. Leveling beyond farmer or peddler requires years of brutal training. Goblins are no fodder, orcs fill children's nightmares, and a dragon? You might as well move countries. Rainer, however, arrives with the rare and powerful class of Arcanist — and an insatiable hunger for greater heights.

The Acts of Androkles

Ryan English

B74/100
A retired veteran from the world's greatest army, Androkles spent twenty-five years fighting to earn back his good name. Battle-scarred and weary, he finally has his chance to retire in peace — until his wife flees north with all his hard-won savings. Pursuing her through dangerous lands filled with bandits and ravening beasts, Androkles rescues a pair of orphans from starvation. Caring for them forces him to confront a question that strikes at the very heart of honor — one with consequences far greater than his own life. The trilogy follows Androkles across three complete novels: Obstacles, Doubts, and Burdens.

Hope

sarvashaktimaan

B74/100
The Aspects are long dead — the venerated creators of reality are no more. Yet the final scheme of their slayer, the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer throughout the eons. The last Hope is a desperate gamble: for one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

A Dream of Wings & Flame

Cocop (Cale Plamann)

B74/100
Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves. Most have made peace with their lot — eating scraps and hiding from predators, delaying the inevitable. But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other kobold pups. The blood of dragons pumps through his veins, and he isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains — predator rather than prey. Nothing, be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or the almost insurmountable difficulty of evolving his bloodline, is going to stop him.

Law of the Jungle

Vasily Mahanenko

B73/100
Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but shapes the lives of men. Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality — yet this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental truth: power grants privilege. What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world? Is it his destiny to reach unimaginable heights, or to vanish into the abyss of mediocrity — just another forgotten face in a crowd of millions?

Atzi

Emmideer

B73/100
Atzi is the worst person to be stuck in a time loop. A lowly lizard thief living in a decrepit shack, she's easily distracted, talentless, and lonely — and would do anything for the easy life, except work hard. When she ends up in a time loop, it seems like the perfect chance to cheat her way into everything she's ever dreamed of. Too bad she must contend with selfish gods at war, mad mages casting apocalyptic spells, skeletons, demons, and a hole in the sky. The world is destroyed again and again — and all she really wants to know is why she's the one stuck in the loop.

saltywaters

B73/100
All life on Earth has been stolen away by The System, transported to another world at the behest of a distant galactic empire that lived in terror of humanity's potential.

Love, Life, and Lycanthropy!

radishrabbit

B73/100
When Emily Smith's life was cut short by a nuclear war, something — or perhaps someone — decided that what happened to her was unjust and gave her another chance. Her new world offers more than a fresh start, though: she faces a choice between vengeance and peace, and she's also a werewolf now. Her choice, at least to her, was obvious. But its consequences will be far-reaching and profound for the world she now calls home.

Second Life as a Soldier

Soldier_of_Avalon

B73/100
He died a nobody. Now he's reborn in a body beaten and left for dead — no family, no food, no future. In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn't just respected, it's survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war. Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life. The road ahead is long and unforgiving — but with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater: growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.

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.

Keiran

EmergencyComplaints

B73/100
Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years, but even he's reached his limits. His body is old and failing. While the flesh fails, his mind and magic remain as sharp as ever, and he bends his prodigious talents toward reincarnating into a fresh, young body. He awakens in a wasteland where mana has become a scarce resource, hoarded by those in power — and without mana, he's no longer a mage. With each passing week he regains more of his old strength, but standing in his way is a cult-like nightly mana tithing, a governor with secrets of his own, and an unforgiving desert full of monsters. Keiran didn't become an archmage by accident, and he's willing to use every dirty trick he knows to claw his way back.

Jarl Isarn likewise seeks this power, aided — or thwarted — by the return of his brother, the knight and war hero Athelstan, whose squire Brand hopes to restore his family's fortunes, cost what it may. Through all of this, an enigmatic traveller makes plans with jarls, scribes, and priests for his own purpose. Abroad, powerful forces sense division in the realms of Adalmearc and make their own plans. War is on the horizon.

The Center for Dungeon Management, Book 1: Gate Crashers

marshalcarper

B73/100
In the United States, the Center for Dungeon Management (CDM) handles everything related to gates: licensing crawlers, enforcing harvester safety standards, and prosecuting gate crashers — people who enter dungeons without licenses. Dorion wants to join a guild or crawl team, but to do that he needs levels. Since he can't afford a crawler license or gate fees, he signs on with the Pittsburgh branch of the CDM. By day he's a cog in the machine of dungeon bureaucracy; by night he volunteers to cull unclaimed gates. When his little sister appears on his doorstep, his goal of becoming a professional crawler turns from ambition into necessity — he needs the money and stability to give her the life he never had. A grounded, working-class take on the dungeon-gate story: slow progression, meaningful stats, and a protagonist with a clipboard and an overflowing inbox.
