Wolf of the Blood Moon

Shane Purdy

S88/100
Exactly two centuries ago, humanity was struck with its very first Demonic Assault. Demons poured through shattered skies, and on the brink of devastation, some humans were offered contracts granting them power as Guardians. Now, long after the nations of the world joined to form the Terran Republic, young Scarlet is just trying to find a university that will accept someone from a lower-tier city. But when she gets caught inside a Fracture during a Demonic Assault, she doesn't perish in the darkness. Instead, she awakens her dormant bloodline as a noble demon — a Blood Lycan. Turns out she had been a demon all along, and had been born for the apocalypse.

Jake's Magical Market

J.R. Mathews

S87/100
Jake is working at the neighborhood market when the world ends — not through nuclear war or climate change, but through meddling gods from another world who shuffle Earth like a deck of cards. Monsters, dungeons, and magical items scatter across the globe, and everyone suddenly has access to a strange new card-based magic system. Jake finds himself alone in a completely new and dangerous world, hiding in his market with a bunch of curious elf-like strangers knocking on his door wanting to buy things. The gods may have stacked the deck against him, but Jake might have a few cards up his sleeve.

Thia

cactusroom

S87/100
It has existed since time immemorial, and now It descends into the mortal plane once more — only to be hugged immediately on arrival. "It does not like to be touched." "Right. Sorry, kiddo. Dad forgot you don't like hugs." The story follows fragmented scenes of life from an otherworldly being accidentally summoned into the mortal plane by a grieving father. Told in a style reminiscent of a Sunday serial, it is a wholesome slice of life with low stakes, experimental minimal narration, and a quiet focus on becoming human.

Robert Blaise

Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned twice, he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

Stuck in a dead-end job with a coworker he's into but can't bring himself to approach, he wakes up one day to what appears to be a complete psychotic breakdown — system notifications, menus, and stats injected directly into his life. Even stranger, he starts earning Love Points through romantic interactions, which can be spent on skills ranging from passive buffs to reality-warping abilities. Working multiple angles is the only way to earn enough — between his chill coworker, his evil boss, and the girl who ruined his life. Best to start with the tutorial.
