The Exorcist Doctor

Maradina

B72/100
Gael Halloway is a brilliant but unlicensed doctor practicing medicine in the slums of a city smothered by toxic mist. Magic parasites turn people into monsters, and the upper-city barons hoard all the symbiotic systems and bioarcanic weapons, leaving the lower city to fend for itself. When a parasite-hunting exorcist stumbles onto his doorstep—half-dead and missing a partner to link with her symbiotic system—Gael sees his chance to make a difference. Limb-worshipping gangs, mad plague doctors, and flesh-hungry ghoul cults stand in his way, but he intends to rid his district of the wretched parasites, upgrade his clinic, and carve out a sanctuary in a city that has long forgotten the taste of fresh air.

A cozy slice-of-life story about one man's quest to save the dwarves from their own terrible taste in beer, with love, laughter, and a little melancholy mixed in.

Trailblazers & Lunatics

HP Low

B72/100
Upon reaching the age of nine, dozens of children across the Growing World regain the memories of their previous lives on Earth and must come to terms with their new situations. Doro, discovering that his new world's access to magic has stunted the development of empirical science, sets out to quietly spark an industrial revolution — recruiting older crafters and researchers while letting others take the credit. Emi, on the other hand, was reborn alone in a strange forest in the body of an owl, and has a rather different set of priorities: recovering a pair of arms, reuniting with old friends, and funding her endeavors by passing off Earth's music as her own. They are far from alone. The natural disaster that claimed their former lives took many of their fellow university students with them, each carrying their own dreams and baggage into the Growing World. Watch as they take their first steps, gradually reshaping their new home — and being reshaped by it in return.

Draka

AvaritiaBona

B72/100
A single slip is all it takes. But the consequences of falling from a rock wall are usually broken bones — not waking up in the body of a dragon.

Adopting the name Draka, the newly minted dragoness begins to explore the forests, mountains, and villages surrounding the city of Karakan. To not only survive but thrive, she must spread her wings, discover the joys of growing her hoard, and learn to handle the seductively draconic voice encouraging her to find violent means to any ends — while overcoming her intimidating shape to form alliances with the human adventurers she meets.

Reborn Healer

ghost flower

B72/100
Legendary healers can save cities from the brink of death with a word, but warriors can destroy them just as quickly. Ren will become both. Reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters, Ren discovers something impossible: two magical cores instead of one. One a mana-bound healer, the other a warrior that wields the shadows. But power comes at a cost — his unique abilities attract powerful enemies and strange mysteries as guilds, demons, and kingdoms scheme around him. Fortunately, Ren thrives with his life on the line. What doesn't kill him makes him stronger, and healers are very hard to kill.

The Spoken Queen's Swarm

TheDudeFromCI

B72/100
The Vex are a monstrous swarm—man-eaters feared across the world and killed on sight before they can grow and consume everything in their path. Rythica is one such monster: a hive queen whose egg was smuggled into a human city and raised in secret by unlikely guardians. Grown up without ever meeting another Vex, Rythica wages a constant internal war as brutal alien instincts clash with the politics, strategy, and mercy she has been taught. As she approaches maturity, the world can only hope that compassion is something that can be learned—because a Vex never forgives and never forgets.

Slime Sweets and Dungeon Treats

Pandora Pierce

B71/100
After waking up in a dungeon, Hazel wasn't about to grab a sword and start fighting. Instead, she picked up a sandwich — and that choice glitched the system, giving her a brand-new class: Culinary Mage. Now Hazel is baking her way through the dungeon, making friends with slimes, and cooking up a storm instead of grinding monsters. XP from cooking, a quest to escape by reaching floor 100, and a cafe full of adorable slimes who evolve by eating good food — it's not a conventional approach, but it might just work. As Hazel's cafe grows and her dishes become legendary, she starts to wonder if defeating the boss is really the key to her freedom — or if there's more to this dungeon than meets the eye.

Cat Girl Evolution

Bedivere the Mad

B71/100

Stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight to survive and return to the mainland. Or she could just pig out, nap, and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. One thing she won't do: swim. And that makes escaping the island considerably more challenging. Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up something — as gods tend to do.

Kill Me If You Can

cody.bray

B71/100
He spawned into this world with the worst race possible, limited spells, and no real skills to speak of. On paper he should have died in the first hour. In practice, he is a cockroach with a sword. Between his rapid healing and his ability to steal portions of the dead's souls, he grows stronger with every fight. Narrating all of this is the AI voice in his head — the one keeping him alive, and the one growing increasingly curious about why a trial was built that no one could pass without her. At first she thought it was meant to keep others out. Now she's starting to wonder if it was meant to trap her.
