Clara Casewell, Attorney to the Villainess

cocopi

S88/100
Clara Casewell is an ambitious associate at an international corporate law firm with a secret passion for villainess stories — the trashier the better. After edging out a promotion to Senior Counsel, a plane crash sends her waking up in a maid's uniform in a world of nobles and magic. Her mistress is the notorious villainess Iris von Rhenia, and the two of them are about to stand trial for poisoning the heroine — in a court that uses truth magic and allows no defense. Clara must learn the ins and outs of the unfair, convoluted, and often fantastical legal system of the Holy Kingdom of Arcadia before it's too late.

The Archmage Coefficient

onedayokay

S87/100
Magic was chaos. Now it's chemistry. Through Stoichiomancy, power is measured, quantified, and controlled. Ascension follows a strict ladder, each tier with a fixed number of sanctioned seats. There are no anomalies — until Arielle Blacksoil. Born to a bloodline without magic, Arielle should have been invisible to the system. Instead, an accident reveals the impossible: she's an unsanctioned archmage. If discovered, they'll strip her power or turn her into a weapon. To survive, Arielle enrolls in the Academy and pretends to climb the ranks while hiding magic that eclipses her professors. For the first time in her life she has rivals, teammates — maybe even friends. But hiding overwhelming power isn't easy, and soon she's embroiled in faction conflict, foiling villainous plots, and hunting a mysterious primordial that lurks in the dark.

Cultist of Cerebon

Fizzicks

S87/100
When Zareth first realized he had been reborn into a world that ran on video game mechanics, he was ecstatic — he'd expected danger and adventure.

Being a Cultist to the God of Flesh turned out to be much less exciting than hoped, and Zareth spent most of his time helping rich women smooth their skin. Just when he had given up hope, everything changes when the city enters a period of sharp political turmoil — and Zareth is dragged right into it.

Founder's Edition

Jay Krauss

S87/100
On the brink of death, a burned-out man in his late thirties is offered one last chance at life through experimental early access to a full-dive VRMMO — with one condition: he cannot log out. Sent into the world years before launch, he becomes something no developer planned: a seemingly permanent inhabitant living inside the game long before players arrive. While future adventurers dream of fame and leaderboards, he chooses a quieter path — claiming land in the mountains, learning blacksmithing, mining deep veins of ore, and slowly building a life with his hands. For a long while, the world is his alone. Then players begin to appear. To the first of them, he looks like a strange NPC with skills that shouldn't exist yet. He doesn't correct them. He would very much like to be left alone. Unfortunately, the world has other plans.
