Of Arms and Arcane

Samofthepen

D35/100
A man with a lifelong martial arts background, raised in Asia due to his family's profession, moves to the US for education and work. He discovers Historical Medieval Battles through a colleague and becomes deeply passionate about it, training hard enough to represent his country at competition. During a bout, his armor fails and he is struck in the head with a two-handed axe — seemingly dying. But is this truly the end?

Broken Class: A SPY LitRPG

Tory Riter

D35/100
Arthur was a top-tier spy, right up until he broke the first rule of espionage: never uncover a secret that will get you killed. Now he is dead — or rather, reborn in a brutal system-driven world obsessed with voluntary slavery. Armed with sarcasm, spy training, and a system-gifted wildly overpowered skill set, Arthur does what he does best: ruin everyone's evil plans, one corrupt tyrant at a time. If they cannot find him, they cannot stop him.

The Gods' Gacha Game: Return of the God-King

Astralium

D35/100
Maximillian has always dreamed of his past life as the God-King — ruler of all gods, creator of a divine game where deities competed for supremacy. Now he awakens not as a king but as the lowest-ranking divine warrior, trapped in the very game he created. Thrown into a brutal world of monstrous scenarios and scheming deities, Maximillian must exploit his unparalleled knowledge of hidden mechanics to survive and master the ultimate class — one that lets him inherit fragments of divine heroes' power and manipulate scenarios through plausibility itself. In a world where imagination shapes reality, can he outplay gods and mortals alike, uncover the truth behind his fall, and reclaim his rightful crown?

The Dragon of Dreams

Commander843

D34/100
A young man is reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially driven by questions about his own reincarnation, he becomes lost in the endless world of magic — using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana, then using mana to expand his understanding of science in return. Though strength was never his goal, his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the circumstances of his existence propel him up the mountain of power as though it were a small hill — until he climbs to a point where he seems to be the peak itself. Even if that was never the case.

Isekai'd As A Lord Of The Manor

Kuzunalis

D34/100
William died chasing a promotion. He woke up as Alden, eldest son of a Baron in a medieval world where monsters descend from the north every winter — and everyone relies on a powerful Duke's fortress city for shelter. Until now: for the first time in living memory, the Duke is charging an exorbitant fee to enter, and Alden's dirt-poor village can't pay. A former London engineer, Alden carries modern knowledge into a world of parchment and swords. With elves, dwarves, and orcs as fellow survivors rather than enemies, and fate pushing responsibility onto him far too soon, he must do what has never been done before: transform an overlooked frontier village into something that can endure the impossible winter. If the world won't save them, he will.

I am the Heroine's Master?

HereticDonor

D34/100
When Mo Jian wakes up as a Core Formation cultivator in the world of a story he recognizes, his first thought is to stay as far away from the hero and the heroine as possible. After all, he has taken the place of a man destined to die by the hero's sword. Instead, he intends to explore this world, see all its wonders, and live an enjoyable and fulfilling life — everything he was unable to do on Earth. However, the plot of the story keeps tugging at him, and he inadvertently finds himself as the heroine's teacher.

Worthy Core

DaScoot

D34/100
Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet. In this new world, Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged.

Reincarnated as a Brewer (Against My Better judgement)

Julian Merrow

D33/100
Alric wakes up in another world with all the usual assumptions already in place: a sword, a system menu, and the quiet expectation that he'll start acting like a hero. He doesn't. Instead, he starts paying attention. Coins circulate too long to make sense. Measurements are imprecise. Beer is sour, but everyone drinks it anyway. As Alric tries to find his footing, he brings habits from a more systematic world: watching how things are done, tracking what's missing, and assuming that inconsistencies point to underlying rules. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they reveal reasons things were never fixed in the first place. A slow-burn isekai about logistics, brewing, and what happens when methodical thinking collides with a society that functions — imperfectly — on its own terms.

The Archmage's Second Life as an Introvert

Dragonian

D33/100
No one warned Adolin what the hero's journey would entail — no privacy, no silence, just party members who wouldn't shut up. After a decade of adventuring, he brought the Demon King's castle to ruin. And instead of finally getting his peace, he is reincarnated in another world in the body of a penniless orphan, surrounded by the most exhausting people he has ever met. Broke, weak, and with a mana pool barely worth mentioning, he just wanted a quiet second life. That plan lasted less than a day. Now he must navigate a world where healing magic belongs to the church — and he just used it.

Respawn Condition: Trash Mob

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D33/100
Every time it dies, it respawns as the weakest monster on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives — every one remembered, every death felt. But unlike the other monsters trapped in the endless slaughter beneath an unbeatable hero party, this nameless soul keeps its memories. And with memory comes something dangerous: the will to escape. After countless reincarnations, it finds something no monster was ever meant to see — a hidden passage leading upward. To reach it, the soul must climb from the bottom up, mastering new bodies, exploiting glitches in the dungeon's rules, and outsmarting heroes who have never lost. Something in the dungeon wants it to stay. Something in the darkness is watching. The longer it climbs, the more it begins to question what the dungeon truly is — and what it is becoming.

Archmage Reborn

DB King

D32/100
Betrayed and banished by the Elemental Gods who gave him his magic, Saul awakens in a new body, a new time, and a new life. Once Archmage of Keldor and Commander of the Emperor's military might, he carved a bloody path of victory across the known world. Now he's nobody — a man out of his time with nothing except memories of his past life and a mysterious System granted by the Trickster God Sarkur. Saul must learn the System and rebuild his magic from the ground up. He has one goal in mind: revenge. But his path will force him to untangle a web of myth, magic, betrayal, and friendship — and the stakes are higher than he imagined.

No Need for a Core?

A. B. Zagaroth

D32/100
An ancient, dreadfully powerful entity once sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter — though in a much reduced state. A temple monk on her way home for vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus by the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, setting off an entirely unexpected chain of events. A kitsune whose death moved a goddess to pity is revived as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded. Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being.

The 37th Tier [Hundred Year War|Avatar The Last Airbender SI]

R. Lockey

D32/100
An airbender who can't fight is just a monk who's really good at running away. Sonam died in the 21st century and woke up at the Southern Air Temple — with twelve years before Sozin's Comet and a head full of memories from a world where this one was a TV show. The Air Nomads have thirty-six tiers of airbending. Every monk considers fighting back beneath them. Sonam is building the thirty-seventh tier, convinced that pacifism is a death sentence for everyone he knows — even if the order would rather exile him than learn it.

Markus Dirkshire

Torn from her life and cast into the world of her favorite game, Addy awakens as Nephthys — her own endgame character, a being powerful enough to level nations. But power does not come with purpose. At the head of a guild she built for conquest, not responsibility, Nephthys must decide how, and whether, she should wield the kind of strength that can reshape the world around her. Rengan is not a game. It will not wait for her to figure things out. Ancient forces stir, new ones rise, and whether she chooses to act or not, the world has already chosen her.

The Duke's Reborn Daughter Sometimes Chooses Violence.

TheLastSurvivor

D30/100
Esra Veyne. Most only know her as the 'White Ghost', a Duke's Daughter who never leaves her room — a girl fated to die in obscurity, if only someone hadn't reincarnated into her body. The new Esra has no interest in being a ghost. She wants to enjoy her new life. There's just one problem: everywhere she looks, she finds something that needs fixing, and she can't just let someone else handle it. Even if it means breaking fingers to get answers, using a traumatized girl as an assassin, or never getting to enjoy being a Duke's daughter in the first place. Hopefully, she won't have to solve every problem with violence. This Esra Veyne was never very good at staying in her room.
