I Woke Up as the Villainess's Friend. I Don't Want to Be the Next Dark Queen

AngelNersus

D41/100
An avid MMORPG player suddenly finds herself trapped in the world of an otome game she's barely touched. Now inhabiting the body of Bianca, the plain and overlooked friend of the villainess, she's exhilarated by the chance to live in a world brimming with magic. Determined to make the most of her knowledge of the game's opening events, she ventures into a beginner's dungeon to gain strength. But when a seed of darkness disguised as an innocent puppy crosses her path, her plans spiral out of control — pushing her to level up, seize an overwhelming power, and face the temptation of becoming the next dark overlord.

Fish Girl Evolution

Lunadea

D41/100
Shu wasn't always a fish. She wasn't even always Shu. After giving her life to save a child, she is rewarded — or perhaps cursed — with reincarnation into a world of cultivation and immortals. That doesn't go as planned, and she dies almost instantly, her soul absorbed by a mindless koi. Now she is stuck in the body of a koi, and her owner is the very man who cut her second life short. Her only saving grace is a System granted to help her navigate this new world — one that lets her both cultivate and evolve her way up the food chain.

Viridescent Core

BlurryDreams

D41/100
Mortals see dungeons many ways — a plague to destroy, a resource to harvest, a place to train and advance. But all of them agree on one thing: dungeons are unnatural and deadly, places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all.

Data Dragon Danika

gusdefrog

D40/100
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. The "Living Jade Empire" is said to create individualized quests, read your mind, and reveal your heart's desire — but the reality is more grounded and stranger. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old stories humans have passed down since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, and fantasies. In the end, will the game figure out what Danika truly wants? Or will playing it change her until she desires what it can give her?

M.Tress

D40/100
Life hit Liam Cosgrave hard. Forced to work a dead-end job just to survive, he barely had energy for anything else — until he was summoned to another world in a freak accident. Sitting in his truck after a fender-bender, Liam found himself transported to a realm where humans are creatures of legend. A pair of young women had been trying to summon a party member for a school project and got far more than they bargained for. Before he could even settle in, the same mysterious force shot him back to Earth — with a parting message that the girls would call him back soon. And so Liam's life of balancing his day job with being summoned to another world began.

The Phoenix

The Phoenix

D40/100
She entered the Tower seeking death. Instead, she keeps finding reasons to live. In this life she is Bella, a jaded med student trying to catch up on centuries of medical innovation — or at least she was, before the Tower appeared. With the promise that she would find whatever she sought at the top, she entered hoping to end her curse. But even with hundreds of lives of experience to draw on, reaching the top is no easy task. The Tower is filled with wonders she could only dream of, and what she once believed was the peak of power turns out to be only the first rung of a much larger climb. Her foundations are unshakable, but the Tower is deeper, deadlier, and more exhilarating than anything she has ever faced.

How I Became the Strongest Man in the Galaxy

bd90z

D40/100
Peter Brookes should be dead. Instead, he's been abducted by aliens, tasered awake by a condescending robot, and offered a chance to earn a place in a galaxy-wide battle royale watched by trillions. The rules to qualify are simple: grow stronger, reach the top of the leaderboard, and don't die. Given a cabin, a few tools, a stat system, and no useful skills whatsoever, Peter's solution is obvious: chop trees until reality breaks. Joined by a smug, talking arboreal observer, he ignores danger, takes absolutely nothing seriously, and accidentally becomes terrifyingly powerful. A comedic progression fantasy featuring steady growth, escalating nonsense, and a protagonist whose answer to life-or-death situations is usually, "How hard can it be?"

Lich Lord

Levi Werner

D39/100
Reincarnated in the body of a Lich — an enemy to all — that's just problem number one. Zeke was only playing the villain to blow off steam. Now he's stuck in the body of one. Trapped in a hostile world, he must flee his former guild into a holy kingdom ruled by the Church of Olattee. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. His power is gone and he must start over. He is still a lich, and he still has his weapon, Mercy — more powerful than even he knows. The real question is: is he now a villain or not, and will he survive long enough to find out?

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D39/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.

Rules of Biomancy: A LitRPG Healer Fantasy

Buller

D39/100
For almost half a century, Elijah kept his Core sealed — staying in the shadows, running a small alchemy shop on the outskirts of the slums, staying weak but staying safe. When he finds two people half-dead in an alley, both too young to have had a chance at life, he removes the chains from his magic to help them. An older MC with plant-based magic steps back into the light, taking on the role of teacher to two otherworlders given a second chance. A story of political drama and light LitRPG elements set in a secondary world.

Path of the Hive Queen

Tejoka

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness, climbing out of an egg with no memory — only human knowledge that doesn't match her body. She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

As Thera will discover, the life of a baby Mystic Turtle is full of trials and tribulations. She will scour ancient sunken ruins, face the dangers lurking in the depths of the sea, and perhaps one day grow to surpass even legend.

Adam Sampson

Five years after a failed alien invasion, Earth maintains a fragile peace with orcs, elves, and dwarves. When a necktie-wearing orc walks into the magitek exosuit repair bay demanding the best rune mechanic on Earth, Luke is volunteered for interspecies employment — leaving Earth to repair advanced magic mech suits for monster hunters. Then he straps into one of those suits himself and discovers a taste for danger and profit. With a handpicked crew of battle-hardened monster slayers, Luke dives into deadly missions one monster core at a time. But the System of the World has other plans, granting Luke a powerful magic class and making him a player in a far greater game. Navigating ever-growing monster threats, secretive elvish plots, and cutthroat corporations, Luke's only hope is to get stronger than anyone seeking to use him. They want a pawn — he plans on clearing the board.

Carcian

When Earth is integrated into the Multiverse, humanity gains stats, skills, and magic — but only a select few are granted System Cores, becoming Core-bearers with a clear path to power. Cade Whitehollow, a burned-out, indebted postdoc who has just been fired, is not one of them. Thrown into a lethal Tutorial designed for Core-bearers, Cade must survive the brutal grind of becoming eligible to forge a Core of his own while others level, cast spells, and surge ahead. Monsters evolve. Humans turn on each other. And buried somewhere in the chaos of the Tutorial is an ancient path to power — one even the System cannot control.

A Destined Journey

Cathfach

D38/100
A lost soul drifting in the Void floats too close to a new universe and finds itself drawn in, bound to a new life, and reborn as a human. Born as Robin, with no memory of his alien heritage, he lives normally until unlock day — when the System informs him his soul is far from local, and that with his heritage comes magnified experience gain, the echo of everything that was lost. Potential can be a double-edged sword. Viewed as a valuable tool by his social superiors, Robin must protect his family and retain his freedom while walking a tightrope, particularly when the jealousy of others throws carefully laid plans into disarray. A slow-paced, crunchy LitRPG with a single male lead who works largely alone.
