When people with superpowers emerged during the Cold War, world governments treated them like any other weapon: objects to covet, hoard, and control. Becoming one of these "Moonshots" was a curse — heralding conscription, incarceration, or worse.
Years have passed since Naomi Ziegler's own conscription ended, years spent rebuilding her life and becoming the first ex-superhero lawyer in the country. But as long-buried troubles return and blur the lines between right and just, Naomi must make the choice she's long deferred: whether to hold onto the comfortable life she's built, or reach out for the justice she has long been denied.

The Demon Queen Wants To Live. [Yuri, Progression Fantasy]
TheLastSurvivor
A78/100
Lysanthia, the strongest Demon Queen, spent centuries trying to die — not because she wanted death, but because it was the only way to break her chains. Her reincarnation spell worked, mostly. She woke in a forest nearly a thousand years in the future, in a body not quite hers, stripped of her overwhelming power.
A world without a System. Without Classes. Without the Gods watching her every step. Her reincarnation is complicated by the presence of Ash, the Hero who slew her. Thrust into a world almost completely alien yet somehow recognizable — where power is etched in Ink — she must start from nothing. And for the first time in eons, some people show her kindness for no reason at all. That might be harder than starting over.
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.
Hannah has a routine. Wake up, shower, school, work, sleep. A perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world.
But that's all she thinks they are — nightmares — until one night they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away.
A story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergency, and a whole lot of trauma.
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.
The tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship. Unfortunately, a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally — meaning it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait.
Also in contention: the embryo of a hero facing the egg of a demon lord in a battle with serious mobility issues on both sides. And two new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them.
An absurdist LitRPG comedy in which an unborn hero speedruns the plot so efficiently it may all be over before she gets around to being born.
Accidental World Domination: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Death Ray
TheAceOfSkulls
A75/100
Alex Adams is the Iron Menace, a less-than-notable supervillain in Victory City — until a power he'd mostly written off misfires and accidentally kills a member of the League of Domination, the premier villain organization of the world. The League doesn't take kindly to nobodies offing their members, and the superheroes are paying attention too.
With his past misdeeds catching up to him, no desire to swap sides for a cushy redemption arc, and unwilling to serve as anyone's flunky, Alex sees only one option: World Domination.
A humorous but loving take on superhero-villain fantasy in a cape world inspired by the silver and bronze age of comics, with light progression elements and alternative-history world-building.
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.
When the world comes to a sudden and horrifying end, med student Shari and coder Mace are among the few survivors. Hyper-aggressive undead creatures hunt anything living on the surface, where even the grass and trees can kill. Their only escape is a virtual world where Shari can use her healing skills and Mace can focus on something other than his fears.
But Shari is a light elf and Mace a drow — ancient enemies whose people would never welcome the other. Still they strive to come together in the game while scavenging for food and fighting to stay alive in the real world.
With their food eventually running out, their best hope for survival may be finding a way to upload themselves to the game permanently.
Humanity is not alone. It fights to survive.
Among Terra's billions, Lanis Osgell was one of the elite few — a Navigator, a psychic bridge allowing Fleet's warships to jump between star systems. Now, suddenly, she is nothing. Newly broken in a world she was never prepared to re-enter, Lanis must imagine a new future among the planet-side mega corporations and their fierce rivalries.
A Navigator, even a broken one, is impossible to ignore.
Kayla is a burned-out college graduate neck-deep in student debt, stuck in a minimum-wage job, and about to be evicted from her apartment. One morning she abruptly wakes up in the body of a short-lived villain from a web novel set in Ancient China.
Now Kayla must deal with living in the body of a man while trying to survive as the doomed political rival of the Seventh Prince. Caught in a web of political intrigue and backstabbing amidst a succession struggle between the Imperial Princes, it will take every ounce of wit she has to stay alive.

What do you do when you find yourself in a new universe with an extraordinary biology? With all the amazing things in this new world, there are equally horrible things too — everything has a way of balancing out.
So what does that mean for someone who won the genetic lottery? All that good has to balance out somehow. A reincarnation story set in the DC Universe.
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.
The power Slate Graystone needs to remain the ducal heir is just out of reach, and he will do anything to get it. Even become a demon.
Battling new instincts, ravenous hunger, and struggling to find her place in a world far darker than expected, Slate — now Silk — fights to claim the life she rightfully deserves: one for herself and the mundane folk she was sworn to protect.
When Silk learns that the corruption left in the fallen Empire's wake runs far deeper than her own transformation, she must choose between standing by noblesse oblige or tearing the whole system down — and the Sects with it.
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.

For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations have lurked around every corner since childhood — relics of schizophrenia and bereavement. Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician, and learns she's not insane at all.
The spirits and monsters she sees are real. The god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits. And her twin sister, who supposedly never existed, could still be alive somewhere Outside — beyond the walls of reality.
Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and navigate her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. Set in a sleepy English university town, Katalepsis is a serial novel about cosmic horror, urban fantasy, and lesbian romance.
Tinea had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught her how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties — but not much else. She ran, crossed an ocean, grew up, and discovered the world. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, she fought to be happy.
Then the aliens invaded her neighborhood. Smoking rifle in hand and still coming up short, she made a life-ending choice — and was rewarded beyond her wildest dreams through DNA-changing Vanguard science. Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection and togetherness, set in the universe of Stray Cat Strut.
A party of four set out to destroy the wicked Exaltare, ruler of the Vampires: the Stardust Champion Mizar, a virtuous priest, a retired knight, and a lady Wizard whose wisdom and knowledge proved invaluable. Yet just before they stormed the palace, misfortune befell them — and the Exaltare's lair would not permit two to face its master.
Instead of the death he expected, what awaited the surviving hero was mercy, a new role, and a cruel twist of fate as his new life began — as the Exaltare's daughter.
