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?

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.

Kit Falbo

D40/100
Nate wants more to life than moving from town to town, hustling chess with his con-man grandfather or wagering pick-up games online. A new immersive game opens up the chance to bring in a steady paycheck — maybe enough to convince his grandfather to stay straight. Little does he know how his actions will change his life.

Cultivator Andy

Walker Miles

D40/100
Wake up. Mine crystals. Don't die. That's the job, and Andy doesn't remember ever having a different one. The guards have guns. The other workers have agendas. The tunnels have monsters that shouldn't exist. On his first shift, surrounded by men who've already made their peace with the dark, he decides he won't be one of them. Then he finds the cavern — crystals bigger than anything on the work floor, whispering secrets the guards would kill to keep buried. It's a path to power, maybe a path out. But he'll have to hide it from everyone until he's strong enough to stop hiding. No one leaves the mine alive. Andy intends to be the first.

Throne Hunters

pwtucker

D39/100
Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him — until he enters the angelic dungeon beneath Flutic and receives a demon's dark blessing. Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, Harald now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and a celestial war burning beneath the city's streets. The dungeon reshapes him with every victory — but at what cost? A slow-burn progression fantasy built around a 100-level dungeon with a unique magic system drawing power from the consumed essence of a fallen celestial being.

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.

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.

Path of the Hive Queen

Tejoka

D39/100
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.

Lich Lord

Levi Werner

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?

How I Became the Strongest Man in the Galaxy

bd90z

D39/100
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?"

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.

The Lich Queen

YoruTsubasa

D38/100
When Sepharin K. Vrost awakens in an unfamiliar world, she's no longer the ruler of Necron's eternal night — but the Warden of a crumbling northern border in a frozen land besieged by monsters. Burdened with a new mortal body, she must wield forbidden necromancy and frost magic to resurrect the fallen as undead soldiers. Her people despise her methods, and her estranged brother demands she relinquish her power. Sepharin has only one option: conquer death itself and defend her realm. After all, true queens never rest in peace. In the second arc, as she enters the Tomb of the Dread Empress, war with the orcs reaches its climax and long-imprisoned powers break free. Inheriting a Dreadworking Stronghold sets Sepharin on the path of rebuilding her legion — machinery capable of levelling cities, flying towers, and beacons that illuminate the frozen skies. But old forgotten souls stir in the deepest dark, and the powers ruling the world have begun to notice.
