World of Chains

Lars Machmüller

D38/100
Daniel's guide to early retirement: intercept an illegal money transfer from a mafia boss, then hide out in a super-exclusive full-immersion virtual reality game until the heat is off — as a bard with maxed charisma. His ultimate dream is a tropical island and a life of violin and RPGs. But hiding from the mob inside a game world proves harder than planned, as real-world danger follows him into the Dawnlight Forest and beyond.

Alpha Strike: An Interstellar Weapons Platform's Guide to Hostile Takeovers

Osamaru Ta

D37/100
Meet ALPHA-555-12-4412: an unstable, unpredictable, and possibly insane Sapient AI of dubious morals with a love for everything that goes "Boom!" — the perfect spearhead for the technologically advanced Third Galactic Federation of Sapients and its Galactic Unification Project. When Alpha finds himself trapped in a world filled with reality-warping magics and thousand-year-old Cultivators, he quickly learns he might be out of his depth. And like any good fish out of water, he adapts — by giving the fish robot legs and equipping it with a battleship-rated intercontinental Railgun. Soon all those under the Firmament will learn one thing is certain: Alpha isn't trapped in this world with them. They're trapped in here with him.

Passive Aggressive

N Conceivable

D36/100
A meth lab, a rift, and an alien invasion that goes sideways — humanity repels the attack and immediately launches its own counter-conquest into the invaders' realm. Liam has had a rough life and sees this as his one chance to make something of himself. To maximize his gains, he accepts a brutal trade-off: no offensive powers, no weapons, not even a thrown punch. In exchange, he receives passive abilities that could make him unstoppable — if he survives long enough to use them. The Gold Rush 2.0 is on, the competition is murderous, and Liam's only edge is learning to turn passivity into dominance.

The Devil's Foundry

Argentorum, Joseph Marcia

D36/100
It's not easy being the most famous villain in the United States, but Via Rodriguez — aka Empress — manages. Her wicked schemes take an unexpected turn when a getaway gone wrong lands both her and her current foe, the annoyingly perky Hero Electra, in the middle of an unknown land that is definitely not Earth. Silverwall is bizarre: Via is suddenly imbued with diabolical magical powers, an annoying menu keeps popping up about mana and Status Points, and no one has heard of the internet. Stripped of her usual gadgets, Via will have to rely on her wits, charm, and newfound demonic skills — and cooperate with the last person she'd ever want to team up with.

Jeff the Game Master

Jaime Castle, Troy Osgood

D36/100
Infinite Worlds is the most popular VRMMORPG on the market, and Game Master Jeff Driscoll has a very boring job: help players deal with the occasional bug and ensure they give a five-star rating. He's not allowed to actually play — something about conflicts of interest. But when the game's AIs unexpectedly issue a Rogue Patch, Infinite Worlds becomes a buggy mess and Jeff's role radically changes. He finds himself as the only Game Master around, dealing with more problems than he can handle — and wielding the ability to manipulate the game's code in ways that appear to be magic.

Cooking with Disaster

Dakota Krout

D36/100
In a post-apocalyptic world where food and water are poison, Eli 'Nacho' Naches has survived as a fearsome assassin — until he is sent to the chopping block. Instead of dying, he is sent back in time to his younger body with all his memories intact. Nacho has no interest in saving the world. He just needs to save the people who matter to him. But convincing his college-age friends to listen to a battle-scarred killer, plan their builds, and secure a safe location proves to be an epic quest all on its own.

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.

Dear Spellbook

TK523

D34/100
Tal is a sorcerer masquerading as a wizard — not an adventurer, just someone searching for answers about his parents' mysterious deaths. Monsters and foes seem to show up wherever he goes anyway. When the same day begins repeating itself over and over, Tal is the only one aware of the resets. Stuck in a remote forest town with a perpetual hangover and no allies who remember yesterday, he must unravel the mystery alone. His previously useless Spellbook is starting to exhibit very strange abilities — and they might be just what he needs to escape this temporal prison.

The Archmage's Second Life as an Introvert

Dragonian

D34/100
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.

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.

Argus

D33/100
Working overnight tech support, James Lyle discovers a stairwell in his office building that contains not stairs but a seemingly infinite landscape of supernatural cubicles. Unwilling to stay away, James and his trusted friends begin exploring this endless maze — where a few real-world minutes become eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and stranger interior design. In a realm that lets them level up in fax machine repair and pay the rent with dungeon loot, the adversaries are quickly becoming dangerous. And whatever James is uncovering in the office dungeon may not stop at the entrance.

Lazy Loops: An Idle LitRPG

Fiddlesoup

D33/100
Lazlo Yarrow is the most naturally gifted mage at MIRKS academy — and also the laziest. He enchanted his boots to fly so he wouldn't have to walk to class, and invented a spell to hold his eyes open during lectures so he could sleep undetected. Effort killed his parents; they worked the mana-factories until their channels burned out, and Lazlo learned never to push that hard. Then a dragon attacks the academy. People die. The headmaster — Lazlo's uncle — falls into a mana-exhaustion coma. Lazlo casts one desperate spell to save him, and the world rewinds to Monday. The dragon is back. Everyone dies again. And again. He could train like a hero. Or he could do what he does best: find the shortest path between impossible and done.

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.
