Draka

AvaritiaBona

B71/100
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.

The Amatherean Tales

Bosloe

B71/100
When forensic accountant SJ is crushed by a rogue tree on her way home from the pub, her death is as absurd as it is abrupt. But fate has a twisted sense of humor — instead of oblivion, SJ is reborn in Amathera, a vibrant fantasy landscape full of magic, monsters, and a game-like System whose fine print she never agreed to. Armed with a sassy AI companion named Dave and the questionable skills of a fae assassin, SJ is the one person operating completely free of the System's rules — drawing the attention of local gods, dragons, and everything in between. Finding her footing in a world where reputation matters will be no easy task.

Nobody Saves the Princess

JacksonWrites

B71/100
Princess Lillia Ashvalin was supposed to inherit a throne, not fight a giant bug for the right to wear its skin as a dress. After five years under her murderous aunt's rule, the worst part was supposed to be politics. Sadly, her aunt had her thrown into the bowels of an SSS-Class Dungeon. Now our princess has fallen into a world — and a genre — she was never meant for. Armed with a dead knight's sword she cannot equip and a class nobody has ever heard of, Lillia must fight her way through spooky monsters, elite bosses, deadly traps, and other deeply unaristocratic problems. Down here, all the knights are dead. Down here, nobody saves the princess.

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey

TigerCannon

B71/100
Fang is a simple cat. He likes napping in the sun, having his belly scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds, and hunting defenseless wildlife. He does not like being called Chairman Meow, and he certainly does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. Mysterious blue boxes have appeared out of thin air, and the world around him is stranger than any cat should have to endure. This is a slice-of-life story: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that is not going to change. There is no epic tale here — only a cat doing cat things in an interesting setting, with light game elements mostly present for flavor. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.

Level One Zombie

Matthew-McKay

B71/100
Frank isn't exactly a model citizen. He's also not here to save Earth — he just wants his favorite curse word back. Too bad the World Dungeon drops him in as a zombie with a level cap of 1 and a profanity filter that turns every F-bomb into "frank." Earth has been repossessed and rebranded by a megacorp called DungeonCore. The prize is ownership of the planet, and this season is Hardcore Mode: death means getting stuck in his Lair until the next expansion, losing everything. Humanity gets a head start, but deep-pocketed aliens are lining up to buy in. To make matters worse, hero classes went to the NPCs while actual players got saddled with monster classes. Frank spawns as a lowly zombie with only stubbornness, handyman's grit, and an accidental Universe First achievement that lets him build a class of his own. He's not a hero — he's not even technically alive. But he might be petty enough to move mountains for the sake of one four-letter word.

Bone Knight

Tim Paulson

Max's coworkers treat him like garbage and his manager is a fool. It might be worth it if he made any money, but he doesn't. Confronted out of the blue by a cackling demonic entity from another world, Max doesn't take it seriously — so when he's yanked into that world by his bones, he's given every disadvantage the demon can dish out. When Max finds he's fallen into an old RPG game his dad played on the NES in the 90s, he's immediately given two quests: find the imprisoned girl with the green eyes, and survive. He's not sure which one's worse.

Armed with a cheat skill, he will climb rank by rank to take back everything that was stolen from him.

Despite being treated as a freak and outcast his entire life, Eric discovers that his affliction — the very thing that makes the System's normal paths unavailable to him — may be a hidden advantage.
