Ashen Realm

S.D. McKittrick

B69/100
All Ole wanted was to become an adventurer like his brother and build a life with his childhood sweetheart. That dream shatters on his birthday when his unique skill is revealed and he is betrayed by the man who raised him, left for dead in the Ashen Realm — a dangerous world of portals and monsters that prey on humanity. With only a broken knife and scraps of food, Ole must fight to survive and unlock skills that shouldn't be possible. As he struggles, he discovers that the Ashen Realm is far more than humanity believes — deepening mysteries and a hidden world unfold around him. His goals are simple: return to his world, and kill the man who betrayed him.

Path of Dragons

Nicholas Searcy

B69/100
Elijah Hart is dying — wracked by cancer and weakened by chemotherapy. When the mysterious World Tree extends its branches to Earth, his Seattle-bound flight crashes into the Pacific Ocean and a game-like system takes hold, reshaping humanity's future. Waking up on an island in the Pacific Northwest, Elijah finds himself suddenly gifted with magical powers and an innate connection to the natural world as a Druid — wielding Ethera and able to take on the forms of powerful beasts. The influx of magic has rendered most technology useless and thrown humankind back into a preindustrial age. With each trial he faces, Elijah becomes healthier, stronger, and more powerful. But will it be enough to save himself, let alone the world?

Death: Genesis

Nicholas Searcy

Fully healed and guided by the mysterious entity Oberon, Zeke begins battling his way through trolls and darkness, gaining superhuman abilities with every victory — and acquiring allies in an archer named Abby and a soul-bonded dire bear cub named Pudge.

Dinosaur Dungeon

Alex Raizman

B66/100
Newborn Dungeon Cores must choose what entity they help contain, and that choice determines what monsters they can summon. After being executed for crimes forgotten in death, Tira is given the chance to make that choice. She chose Acekorah, the Primeval Terror — a being so dangerous few cores will risk trying to contain it. The danger wasn't important. Tira remembers dying. Because the Primeval Terror walked the world long before the races of Man, Cores bound to him can summon beings from beyond the veil of time. Forged in the fires of Tira's wrath, the dinosaurs will walk the world anew.

The Ghost Specialist

Incarnated Whisp

B61/100
Samuel Greyson wants to be a Ghost Type specialist, but living on the small Dewford Island makes that difficult — his mother doesn't want him to leave on his Pokémon Journey, and there are no Ghost Types nearby to catch. His ticket out comes from a discovery made while preparing for an impromptu challenge. Armed with impossible knowledge, Sam sets out to head into the world and take his dreams into his own hands. Set in the Pokémon anime and game world with a more grounded approach, the story follows a classic journey across Johto and Kanto just before Ash Ketchum's own start. No growth is immediately handed to Sam — any development he must work for.

In a realm where both humans and monsters want to tear him apart, Noah doesn't just want to survive — he wants to thrive.

Colin has spent six months keeping his community alive, running raids for food on a nearby mandrill town. That changes when he levels up into his new subclass — Beastmaster. Now bonded with Noiach, a formidable six-legged crocodile, Colin and his companion push their limits to evolve and dominate in this savage new world.

How to Succeed in Monster Farming

Kenny King

C58/100
Nick was just your average overworked accountant — until he got isekai'd and then immediately rejected for lacking hero potential. Instead of a prophecy or a sword, he's given a rundown farm in a cursed wasteland where seventeen previous owners died horribly. Nick isn't as helpless as he looks. With mysterious strength, an eye for optimization, and a knack for flipping curses into perks, he starts rebuilding Blackthorn Farm from the ground up — monster livestock, magical crops, and an eclectic crew including a former elven slave turned manager, killer birds, and a shape-shifting dragon named Petunia. As his power grows, the farm draws attention from forces that might not be entirely mortal.

My Only Familiar Is Me

Vetrax

C56/100
Normal people awaken their superpowers in their teenage years. At thirty-two, an ordinary man gets his — along with a draft notice from the Department of Defense and ninety days before deployment to a dungeon. His class is [Trainer], with zero available familiars. But the System made a critical mistake: it allowed him to assign a familiar to himself. Now every cell in his body is a pet that can be trained. He can issue special commands to his own biology — fall asleep instantly, ignore pain limits, evolve faster than any young genius. He is his own trainer, and he will not stop until he turns this old body into the perfect weapon.

Rogue Cultivator

Alex Karne (TheDeliciousMeats)

C55/100
It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a truck — then it's an isekai LitRPG. Zane is a young man with the Chef class, questionable morals, and a rapidly growing collection of pet spirit beasts. Pinky is a kitsune out for fortune and fun. Using nothing but friendship, murderous pets, and overpowered techniques, they must climb a divine mountain to claim their reward — or die trying. Too bad they have already managed to enrage a powerful sect of cultivators. Apparently the elders don't appreciate having their disciples turned into pet food.

BeastMaster Healer

Solomon Abraham

C53/100
Seven million players were inside the VRMMO Realms of the Veiled Paths when an unexplained power surge sealed them in. Then they began to die. Caleb Stone's teenage son was among those trapped. A son he had lost once before — a son he refuses to lose again. When he logs in to find him, months have passed inside: empires have fallen, monsters roam freely, and surviving players have carved out warlord kingdoms and murderous factions. As Caleb gathers allies and searches for answers, he realizes that salvation might lie in his Tamer class — a joke class, incomplete and not ready to level, hiding developer code that nobody knew existed. Now that code is unleashed.

Apocalypse Summoner

DB King

C52/100
An innocent bystander caught in a shootout between mobsters and spawned monsters, the protagonist is granted the power to bring forth creatures from the void when the System arrives and the world ends. With a ragtag group of survivors, he wades through the mayhem searching for somewhere safe — ideally Merlin Ranch, his childhood home, which would make the perfect refuge. Somehow, they'll make it there. And when they do, they might just untangle the mystery of the System.

The Protagonist's Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Pancakes Witch

C47/100
A struggling author transmigrates into the world of Solo Player, the massively popular novel she read to improve her craft. She doesn't become the protagonist or a villain. She becomes the protagonist's sister — the most worthless character in the story, a burden universally hated by readers, and someone fated to die no matter what path she takes. Armed with full knowledge of the story's events, she has one goal: not only to survive, but to surpass every limit and rewrite the terrible ending. Her ridiculously overprotective brother — the world's strongest solo player — is the main obstacle. The Constellations watching from above are another problem entirely, bombarding her with gifts and sponsorships as though she's a top-tier celebrity streamer.

J. Pal

After serving two terms in the Iron Army's Building Division, Flint Woodson is done with it all. With his four-legged friend at his side, he wants nothing more than to find a remote settlement, work as a guard or builder, and find a wife. But the realm is at war. The Fae are sick of humankind violating their treaties, and their Wyld armies are taking to the fields. When the Diskverse sends Flint a Life Quest — reawaken the Sleeping Fort, protect the village of Lea's Slumber, and give the Champion of Equilibrium time to grow — saying no isn't an option.

Cerberus Cards

John Stovall

C45/100
It's Drop Night — the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you're a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system: controlling powerful monsters and summoning mantles to fight alongside your beasts. Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked twice. When he finally gets a deck, there's no time to celebrate — the rival gang has six deckbearers and they're cutting in on the family's trade. And things might get worse when everyone figures out he received an ultra-rare card.

Monster Tamer

Isaac Hooke

Malem is a Breaker — someone who can impose his will over the minds of beasts, bending them to his command. His ability is severely limited in scope and numbers, and most monsters have always been beyond him. Then one day he accidentally breaks a monster girl, and doors begin to open faster than he ever thought possible.
