Magical Girl of Despair

Qlsjddkw

C57/100
Aiko considered herself a run-of-the-mill office worker: clock in, get yelled at by her boss, clock out, don't get eaten by the monstrous horrors spilling into the world from another dimension. But when a well-meaning friend drags her into that very dimension, Aiko must carve out a new life for herself as one of the monsters people fear. Now she fights back against the protectors she once admired, battling to hold onto her sense of self. Though to be fair, being a fallen magical girl is far more preferable to an office job.

The (Second) Life of Brian

Chris Tullbane

C57/100
Brian Fieldings just buried his dad and lost the only job he has ever had. Waking up in an unfamiliar, pitch-black room the next morning — with inhuman howling coming from the other side of the door — feels like the rotten cherry on a particularly awful sundae. Brian has questions: where is he, how did he get here, what is making those terrible noises, and why does the room have an altar? First he will need to survive long enough to get answers — because Brian has been tapped to play a role in a bloody drama that spans multiple realities, and he is about to find out what happens when one life ends and the next begins.

Superheroes and Magic Invasions

Belial666

C57/100
In the town of Destiny, Florida, magic portals open and spew out undead horrors. A few lucky survivors discover that killing the invaders grants magic powers following familiar game and comic-book tropes. For Maya Wennefer, that's only the beginning of her problems. Invaders from another world, ordinary people discovering easier paths to power, and the government's reaction to the new reality — surviving all of it is hard enough, let alone becoming a superhero. As chaos spreads and stronger monsters appear, human greed may yet prove more dangerous than any invader.

Shaman's Call

Sean Oswald

C56/100
Frank never planned for the afterlife — he didn't even believe in one, certainly not one controlled by an AI. After failing to read the small print in his contract, he finds himself stuck in a new world as an ogre shaman. The AI's System commands this world, and Frank is at its mercy. The ogres think Frank is some kind of messiah; the humans think he's just XP walking. All Frank wants is to make the best of his strange new reality and find someone worth talking to. Instead he finds himself caught between powers far beyond him in a struggle for the fate of not just one world — and his suspicions that it's no game at all grow with every step.

Starblood

Roman Prokofiev, Sofia Shcherbakova

C56/100
When the ark began emergency jettisoning colonists, one got unlucky three times: his capsule was shot down above a forbidden Circle, crashed next to the White Devil's tomb, and he climbed into a wounded noxwolf's lair and discovered Starblood. Other Ascendants would call it good fortune — but had he left it alone, he might have remained a normal person. Now someone with a Slate, Attributes, and Runes isn't a typical colonist from Earth in a world that's far from ordinary — especially when he has a voice in his head. A spinoff set in the same universe as Project Stellar, Starblood follows those who escaped Earth's catastrophe into deep space.

Ace of Capes

kayday

C56/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

The Tech Specialist

Incarnated Whisp

C56/100
Nick first arrived in the Pokémon world just over a year ago. Now he's trying to win a worldwide tournament while maneuvering beneath the pressure of his far-too-influential sponsor — and that doesn't even include dealing with the baggage Unova carries as a region. At least Nick has his team, some helpful foreknowledge, and access to neat technology he considers himself skilled with. A Pokémon fanfiction about a trainer who starts with a decently powerful team, competing at the level of Champions rather than earning Gym Badges. Inspired by the events of Pokémon Black and White 2.

Ponder the Orb

Scribe_Apprentice

C56/100
When Mark is ripped from Earth and dropped into a realm of wizard towers and magic, he is taken in by an unlikely group of hermits who spend their days smoking halflings' leaf, arguing over spell theory, and quietly pondering glowing orbs. They call themselves the Blue Wizards. The powerful White Tower sect calls them a disgrace. As Mark begins training with them, he realizes something unsettling: their strange "orb pondering" might actually be a lost path to real power. Learning to cultivate mana, unlock spells, and navigate a mysterious inner world that shouldn't exist, he is pulled deeper into a system that clearly has plans for him. Unfortunately, those plans involve overflowing rifts, undead hordes, and a rapidly escalating necromancer problem threatening the entire Middle Realm. It turns out slowing down, smoking pipeweed, and contemplating the universe is a lot more dangerous than it looks.

After all, they still burn witches in Lafeara. As Carina becomes further entwined in the hidden witch covens, their history and magic unravel dangerous secrets long forgotten.

Alex Karne (TheDeliciousMeats)

C56/100
It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a truck — then it's an isekai LitRPG. Zane is a young man with the Chef class, questionable morals, and a rapidly growing collection of pet spirit beasts. Pinky is a kitsune out for fortune and fun. Using nothing but friendship, murderous pets, and overpowered techniques, they must climb a divine mountain to claim their reward — or die trying. Too bad they have already managed to enrage a powerful sect of cultivators. Apparently the elders don't appreciate having their disciples turned into pet food.

Dao of the World Walker

MylanWrites

C56/100
Chen Yang died once and was reborn as a helpless infant in a world ruled not by science but by cultivation, where enlightenment shapes reality and the Dao governs all things. His death and rebirth also awakened a strange ability: the power to travel between worlds — not as a conqueror or hero, but as an observer and learner. Rather than chasing power through violence, Chen Yang walks a rare path: scholar first, cultivating understanding through crafting, quiet contemplation, and deep exploration of each realm he visits. Every world offers new truths that shape his growing comprehension of existence itself.
