The Immortal Great Souls

Phil Tucker

S+93/100
Reborn without memories, Scorio learns that he is a Great Soul — a legendary defender of the ancient city of Bastion. Within the halls of the Academy, he would enjoy privilege, rediscover unique powers, and one day return to the millennium-old battle against infernal foes. Until he is betrayed. Singled out and sentenced to die for crimes he can't remember, Scorio is hurled to his doom and forgotten. But from even the dimmest spark an inferno may one day rage — and Scorio vows to claw his way back, defeat his elite classmates, and uncover the truth of his forgotten past.

Mark of the Fool

J.M. Clarke (U Juggernaut)

S+93/100
After his parents died, Alex Roth had one plan: become a wizard. Through hard work he earned a place at Generasi, the world's greatest university of wizardry. Then fate intervened—on his eighteenth birthday he is Marked as one of his kingdom's five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener. His brand is "The Fool," the worst of the marks. Rather than die or serve the other Heroes, Alex takes his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, and flees for the university. There he hopes to find refuge, study magic, and unravel the truth about his land's great evil. The only complication: the Mark prevents him from learning and casting spells—unless he can learn to exploit the hell out of it.

Sky Pride

Warby Picus

S+93/100
The heavens decreed his death. He should have died in the womb, in infancy, when his family was murdered, when a house burned around him, or when he woke in a dump riddled with disease and missing fingers. Even the magic ring with a ghostly grandpa trapped inside was sabotaged. A reasonable person would give up. Tian isn't that reasonable — and neither is Grandpa Jun. In a world where immortality can be cultivated, miracles are things you make for yourself. A broken boy will defy the heavens and soar.

Syl

Lunadea

S+92/100

Driven by a desire to honor their late Gramps, Syl chose the experiment — and woke up as a farmed slime, constantly at the mercy of humans and in danger of having their core destroyed by children. After a daring escape to the wilderness, Syl discovers the joy of eating everything they encounter — and the challenge of surviving a world where every creature sees them as prey, experience, or an exploitable resource.

Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop

X-RHODEN-X

S+92/100
Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia through hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into something far bigger than himself, his battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death — only for him to wake up again on the same day. In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper might scheme, plan, and amass equipment and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over via brute force until it's done. If a wall is in front of him, going around is not an option. Instead: batter it thousands of times until either the wall breaks or he does — and gain skill levels along the way.

The place locals call Madder's Place is a disaster of rotting floorboards, collapsed roofs, and fields swallowed by the wild.

As Kain rebuilds, he discovers that starting over takes its own kind of strength.

Bog Standard Isekai

Miles English

S+92/100
Sometimes dying is not even the worst part of your day. Mark has been reincarnated into a dead town in a bog — recently destroyed and occupied by ravenous undead that disappear by day and return each night, mindless and hungry. He will need cunning and subterfuge to avoid them, because reincarnated into the body of a child, he cannot level up. At least not yet. A slow-burn progression fantasy in a LitRPG world, with incremental growth and slice-of-life moments punctuated by intense violence. Bog Standard: it means excellent quality.

Magical Girl Gunslinger

Mikasane

S+91/100
When eldritch horrors called the Anathema began tearing through reality, aliens known as the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity by gifting chosen individuals with magic and advanced technology. Over twenty-one years later, the Magical Guardians are still hard at work — flashy, superhuman, and treated as idols of modern society. None of that matters much to Mai, whose biggest concerns are her family, classmates, and the creeping dread of her future. Magic and monsters may as well be daydreams — until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion. A dark magical-girl story with sci-fi elements and gradually introduced LitRPG mechanics.

Pale Lights

ErraticErrata

S+91/100
Tristan Abrascal is a thief scraping by under the perpetual twilight of Vesper's greatest city. Quick wit and a contract with a capricious goddess have kept him one step ahead — until a single misstep burns every bridge he has left. His only way out doubles as a chance to settle scores with the infanzones, the nobles he has lived under his whole life. Angharad Tredegar has fled halfway across the world after her family was butchered by a ruthless enemy. Assassins still follow, and the only protection she can find comes at a steep cost. Both paths converge on the Watch — and on the deadly trials of the isle known as the Dominion of Lost Things, where many go and few return. The second book, Good Treasons, follows the four survivors as they enroll at the infamous Scholomance, only to find that none are beyond the reach of their pasts.

The Walrus King

S+90/100
In a dystopian future, life at the bottom is brutal. Jobs don't exist in the real world, and millions survive only by working in VR worlds as servants to the wealthy.

Four friends sign five-year contracts as virtual serfs in a small village, barred from adventuring entirely. Handed mops instead of swords, they face a simple choice: work as a blacksmith, barmaid, and shepherd for five years — or cheat, find the loopholes, and carve out a piece of the world for themselves.
