Nin-To-Five

Seat_Admiral

S86/100
A self-insert into the world of Naruto. Ryoma, orphan of the sands, knows full well that he's nothing special as far as ninja go. The smart move would be to run to the other side of the planet and wait for the oncoming apocalypse to pass him by. Running has never been his style.

The Many Lives of Cadence Lee

vladerag

S85/100
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl. She had her college classes, her job, and a nice boyfriend. Then a mugger accosts them — and Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl with that kind of wound would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But then she opens her eyes again and learns that death is not as permanent for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn, again and again, each time stronger and with new abilities. The catch: any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each.

A Practical Guide to Evil

ErraticErrata

S85/100
The Empire stands triumphant. For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age, threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles, rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, and the First Prince of Procer ponders whether a crusade might secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife. Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

Return of the Runebound Professor

Actus

S85/100
Lives are a currency, and Noah Vines is rich. After standing around in the afterlife for thousands of years, Noah is all out of patience. When the opportunity to steal a second chance at life arises, he doesn't hesitate. Reincarnated into the body of a dying magic school professor, Noah finds he got more than just a second chance — he got infinite. Every time he dies, his body reforms. With countless variations of runic magic to discover and with death serving as only a painful soul-wound rather than a final end, Noah finally has a chance to wander the lands of the living once more. This time around, he plans to get strong enough to make sure he never has to wait around in the afterlife again.

The Immortals' Mask

Jay Krauss

S85/100
Sataou was not chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect earned through quiet dedication rather than burning ambition. His Void affinity demanded emotional control — and the world refused to let him stay whole. When that balance shatters, what remains loses what makes it human. This is not a tale of ascension. It is the story of what is lost along the way — and the rise of a man who will stop at nothing to sever the chains of a captive world.

Blood & Fur

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

A84/100
A new emperor rules each year in Yohuachanca. Only the most delicious food graces his palate, the realm's most beautiful women fill his harem, his palace dazzles the mind — and at the year's end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon. Iztac is a pisspoor orphan and this year's emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar. But the vampires have made a mistake: Iztac is a sorcerer whose soul can journey into the secret underworld to plunder the spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. He has a year to find it — or perish for good. He may not be the first emperor, but he will be the last.

Cultivation Nerd

HolyMouse

A84/100
Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to shatter the arrogance of young masters and fight anyone who got in his way. Unfortunately, he died — and now finds himself in that world for real. Jade-like beauties? No thanks, he'd rather study the magical energy. Young masters and life-and-death battles? He'd rather read books on cultivation and master techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

Systema Delenda Est

InadvisablyCompelled

A84/100
When the System came to Earth, technology failed, monsters appeared, and billions died as humans were inducted into game-like physics. Unfortunately for the System, not all humans were on Earth. Cato is an ordinary postbiological citizen — disgusted enough by the System's excesses to go through one of the portals and spread himself into the broader System just as Earth is completely freed. He has no magic, but he has the technology and knowledge of a civilization reaching toward the second rank of the Kardashev scale. He may have to operate under the System's limitations, but he certainly doesn't have to play by its rules. His goal is simple: remove the System entirely.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 6: The Ghosts of Earth

DoctorHepa

A84/100
The apocalypse will be televised. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth collapses into a heap, transformed into a dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot that circles the entire globe. Only a few dare venture inside — and once you're in, you can't get out. Each level has a time limit. But this game isn't about strength or dexterity; it's about followers, views, and clout. Building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big. And if you have that 'it' factor, you may just find yourself with a following — and the loot boxes dropped by generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.

Here Be Dragons: Book 1 of the Emergence Series

Second_Sol

A84/100
Billions of years ago, Earth formed a little differently — less iron, more water — and the first humans evolved on a lone continent surrounded by vast oceans spanning 97.5% of the planet. For millennia, humanity believed their island to be the only land in existence, until satellites revealed two distant continents. An expedition of humanity's best and brightest sets out — only for a series of disasters to wipe out all but one of the crew. Doctor Alexander Pryce becomes the first and only man to step foot on foreign soil. Alone, he struggles to carry on the mission, and in doing so draws the attention of an inquisitive and highly intelligent dragon. Desolate but not alone, Pryce begins the painstaking process of learning to communicate with an alien species — and becomes the sole representative of humanity whose actions will determine the future of both their kinds.

The Mine Lord: A Dwarven Survival Base-Builder

Trae McMaken

A83/100
When a young dwarf named Yorvig travels to a mining claim in the wilds of the Red Ridges, he learns by hard experience that his fellow prospectors are more focused on ore than survival. Thinking he alone can hold disaster at bay, Yorvig plots his way to becoming captain of the mine. He only expected to lead in a fight against starvation, but far greater danger arrives in forms both fair and foul. The mine grows beyond what they ever imagined, and while Yorvig's authority must grow with it, the challenges of love and loyalty will not make it easy — nor will the old foe determined to drive the dwarven folk from the Red Ridges.

Paladin

Komikhan

A83/100
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity reverse-engineered its technology and entered a new Golden Age. Hundreds more ships followed over the years, each spurring greater leaps forward. One unassuming craft that fell on Siberia in 2021 passed unnoticed — but it contained something beyond miraculous technology. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was being built to turn the tide against the alien incursion consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam, an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility, is now alone — his only company a base AI and an army of empty suits. With the world gone to hell and the things that caused it still living above, he decides he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option.

The experience and knowledge she gained in the struggle for the throne give her a fighting chance — but the question she must answer is a hard one. Should she pursue her own happiness, or attempt to better the realm? Perhaps, if she dares, she can reach for both.

Hohenfels

Perseus XXVII.

A82/100
The Holy Empire is in decline. Religious and cultural schisms wreak havoc on its internal politics, revolutions are brewing in neighboring kingdoms, and the aristocratic houses play endless power games while the Emperor clings to what little influence he has left. Amidst all of this, Arnold von Hohenfels — first son of the Margrave — finds himself compelled to attend the Imperial Academy, a notorious battleground of wits and brawn for ambitious young nobles. Armed with a magical gift that is as much curse as blessing, he must navigate treacherous aristocratic entanglements, represent his family's interests, manage formidable enemies, forge alliances, and somehow keep his brash cousin Friedrich out of trouble. Frankly, he would much rather be anywhere else.

The Legion must learn to navigate the strange magics and abilities this new world has granted them. Meanwhile Marcus must figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world — or simply enjoy the front-row seat to an epic in the making.
