The Dragon's Wrath

Brent Roth

B70/100
A VRMMORPG that offered escape, adventure, and a second chance. When Brent Roth suffered a workplace accident that left him immobile, he discovered The Dragon's Wrath — a virtual reality game offering everything he lacked in real life. Inside, as Sigurd, he builds more than just a character. Across three volumes, he carves out a kingdom in the North, wages war, and finds himself mired in a conflict far beyond his control — one man attempting to change the fate of thousands.

Apocalypse Reincarnation

Kaz Hunter

Ten years ago, deep within a rift, Sloan faced a choice: defeat the Demon King and end the apocalypse, or claim his power and keep the rifts open. He chose an ending — and his party killed him for it. Now Sloan is reborn in a world where the System is life and his former companions rule like overlords over a monster-ridden wasteland. Armed with a cheat skill, he will climb rank by rank to take back everything that was stolen from him.

The Runic Artist

Ellake

Where there is a Rune, there is a way. Nate is a kid from Sydney, Australia whose free time is devoted to his one true love — art, graffiti specifically.

Finding himself alone in a forest that is clearly not on Earth, he must learn to navigate this new world and the System that governs it. Armed with nothing but his trusty penknife and a Legendary Class, Nate will fend for his life — conquering dungeons, discovering runes, and being drawn into battles against enemies he didn't even know he had, all while making new friends along the way. Torn between returning to his old life and the friends he left behind, or making a new home in a world filled with magic, he will have to decide where his heart truly lies.

VISCERAE

Silv3rtongue

B70/100
Ilia is a gamer who has spent years chasing escapism. She discovers a game talked about in online forums as the most immersive game ever, made for a cutting-edge VR console: MEAT — a perfectly strange world of living flesh, full of strange details and biohorrific sensibilities. At first it's exactly what was promised. But after she starts seeing things she shouldn't and experiencing the game's systems in far more detail than should be possible, she begins to wonder. When she starts looking for answers, she discovers just how deep the rabbit hole goes — and just how many others may be out there, touched by a place she cannot comprehend. What are the sides to this conflict she can't yet see? What will she become as she digs deeper into what is — and what might be?

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

TigerCannon

B70/100
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.

As Phil begins to improve himself guided by his own conscience, he must also find out who implanted the mysterious game in his brain — and how he's supposed to deal with an apparently omnipotent unknown force.

Dungeon World

Jonathan Brooks

It is a symbiotic relationship that has lasted thousands of years. Far in the northern wilds, a young man is left alone when his parents are suddenly murdered. Now without friends, family, or supplies, Fredwynklemossering embarks on a journey to discover what killed his parents — and soon learns of his seemingly impossible status as a Dungeon Core/Human hybrid.

Shadow Clone Sorcery

JPwrites

B70/100
Lukas Zaun has been a thief, an assassin, a spy, an ambassador, the herald of a dragon god, and a demon lord's enforcer — and he did it all sitting on the beach, watching the waves, enjoying a cup of tea. That's the advantage of having clones. Now he wants to become an archmage and try his hand at godhood.

Ascension of the Primalist

NB.Dravenlord

B70/100
Seth was just a commoner from the outskirts, someone who could only dream of the Wielders' world — a realm of Ranks, attributes, and spells forever beyond his reach. Until the day he awakened as a Primalist. To escape a life of misery, Seth enrolls in one of the nation's elite academies, only to find himself stepping into a society rotting with injustice. Equality of chances is a lie; power is inherited, not earned. Fortunately, his new class feeds on danger rather than privilege: the riskier the hunt, the greater the gain. To rise, Seth must abandon caution and seek fights where survival is never guaranteed — and become the strongest predator the wild has ever seen.
