Villainess Joan of Arc

OnceWritten

D29/100
Steve tried as hard as he could to beat his favorite game, The Hundred Years War, as his favorite general, Joan of Arc. After hundreds of failed runs he finally did it — with a small exploit, but still number one in the world. The game asked for his name, and the moment he gave his real one, he found himself sucked into the game as Joan of Arc. Trapped in a world where Joan is forced to fight battle after battle through countless lifetimes, Steve's only hope is the exploit that won him the game. But when he finally finds it, he's faced not with the end but a whole new beginning — a completely different game where he has no idea what's going on. What the hell's a Villainess?

War Priest

Andrew Karevik

D28/100
Arik Dacre never thought he'd become the reincarnation of the War Priest, nor did he think he'd befriend an irritable water spirit or a mysterious master illusionist. But destiny can be funny like that. Drawing on recently translated ninja and samurai texts to build its combat and chi system, this Japanese mythology-inspired cultivation epic follows a chi healer forced to learn to use his power in new and frightening ways.

Village Manager

Andrew Karevik

D27/100
One fatal collision while rushing for the bus and the protagonist is standing before a goddess, his short life of gaming and sleeping deemed not worth much. In lieu of moving on to the afterlife, a wager is struck: prove that all those hours spent in simulation and management games were worthwhile by taking charge of a desolate, Level 1 village and making it thrive. Fail or die, and it's back to the grocery store. But that's not going to happen. There's just the small matter of figuring out where to start — and why the mayor won't wake up.

The Dao of Reincarnation: Ascending Through a Hundred Lives

RighteousEgg

D27/100
Su Chen died — and that was when the real cheat code finally activated. A mysterious ancient tome called the Reverse Fate Scripture latched onto his soul. Every time he dies, it tallies his previous life's feats, failures, and audacity, then awards Reverse Fate Points to spend on perfect-grade talent, heaven-defying comprehension, god-tier bloodlines, and more — anything to rewrite the script of the next existence. He has been the arrogant trash young master, the iron-blooded general, the emperor killed by family, the unrivaled senior brother, a demonic cultivator, and a devouring Nether Raven. Lifetime after lifetime of failure, betrayal, glory, and catastrophic falls — every death just feeds the next run. Now, armed with memories from countless lives and a terrifying mountain of hoarded points, he opens his eyes once more. From worm to apex predator, from mortal speck to standing above the heavens — this time, he's engineering the single most broken starting build imaginable.

Building World Peace (And Democracy) with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Bimbanana

D27/100
Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.

I Tricked a God

Mortykay

D26/100
Born with a soul mutation desired even by the Gods — perfect memory — Kael could recall every word, every book, yet not a single drop of mana. Mockery, beatings, a ruined family, and a desperate deal with the God of Knowledge and Madness condemned him to centuries of slavery in the endless Divine Library. Seven hundred years of torment turned him into a vessel of knowledge. Then hatred — and the stolen Canon of Primordial Void — gave him a chance. Kael escaped back into his fifteen-year-old body, months before tragedy struck. Now he carries not only memory, but the knowledge of countless worlds. His goals: protect his family, hide from the gaze of the Gods, walk the path of power once denied to him — and take revenge against the God who enslaved him.

The God of Death Just Wants to Quit?!

Fallen Pages

D26/100
Nerez no longer remembers the name he had as an ordinary human on Earth. A literal date with the Goddess of Fate condemned him to wander the sea of souls through a thousand different lives. All he wants now is to escape the endless cycle of reincarnation and enjoy one peaceful last life. But just when freedom seemed within reach, he finds himself in the midst of a divine battle royale for a newborn world. Can the nascent god of death find peace and tranquility in immortality, or will his new domain, servants, and ever-troublesome mortals make his life impossible? And the looming shadow of the one who cursed him still lingers — though perhaps the Goddess of Fate had plans of her own all along.

Dreamer's Riot

D26/100
No gods, no kings, no masters — that was Annie's mantra, until she woke up as someone else, somewhere else: a child in a completely new realm. Reborn in the body of seven-year-old Lillith, she must conceal her adult intellect and knowledge of biology, math, and physics from the unsuspecting family around her. In this new world she's expected to obey her parents, worship a god, and respect a monarchy — none of which she's willing to do. When she discovers that mages hold real power in this society, Lillith begins teaching herself magic and hatching bold plans to change the realm for the better. Her scheme is dangerous, and she'll need to decide carefully who to trust and what she can accomplish with self-taught magic. The plan is bold, brash, and possibly impossible — but Lillith is willing to try, danger be damned.

Oh, also, she's a human reincarnated in the body of an arachne. And if that wasn't enough, she is not alone — there are others from Earth. A boy and a girl who were mysteriously brought to this big new world, where Memories and War have more power than physics and dreams are a place you can visit. Follow their adventure in this story of a changing world full of Classes and Levels.

Heart Devil

butcherPete

D26/100
A demon from another world is transported into her favorite novel — reborn not as a minor character, but as a devil, a higher species, and a few years before the story even begins. The garbage ending she hated is now well within reach of being changed. Her plan is elegant: find her favorite overpowered side character, save him from his terrible fate, and — since she is now undeniably a cute devil — slip in a marriage contract as fair compensation. But she quickly learns that having the blood of a higher being changes everything. For devils, it isn't only what you want that matters; how you get it counts for far more.

Death isn't a game over. For Ana, it's a server transfer. Once a game tester, she's now a System AI forced to guide incompetent heroes through lethal worlds. But every time her User dies, she keeps the upgrades and gets a new host in a new reality. Tired of being a tutorial for the universe's biggest losers, this rogue System has a new goal: absorb enough power to stop patching the game and start rewriting the code of reality itself. A story with an indirect protagonist, system-focused progression, and a new hero and world every arc.

Designated Love Interest

Kleo Erili

D25/100
Jacob Williams has only one rule: stay out of trouble. Breaking it once to save a bullied classmate from drowning costs them both their lives. Jacob awakens not as a shining hero, but as Shaelith — a violet-skinned, pointy-eared elven noblewoman and daughter of a ruthless matriarch who rules a house of assassins and mushroom sorcery. For twenty years, Shaelith learns to survive in this underground world of brutal matriarchal scheming. She masters sorcery, survives assassination attempts, and becomes one of the most powerful diplomats of her generation — until she is kidnapped by goblins and rescued by an obnoxiously loud hero obsessed with quests and XP, who has decided she is his designated love interest. Shaelith has absolutely no interest in that. An asymmetrical LitRPG where the protagonist wields wit, magic, and politics rather than an overpowered stat sheet — while the clueless hero's system grows around her.

I Regressed 300 Years to Open a Quiet Inn

gbolgurov

D25/100
Roen Ashveil was the Archmage of the Crimson Tower — the most powerful mage to ever live. He spent three centuries fighting wars, burying friends, and shaping kingdoms. Then he died alone on a bad chair. The next second, he wakes in his nineteen-year-old body with all his memories intact and one firm decision: he will not be the hero this time. He is opening an inn. Unfortunately, Millhaven is not the kind of town that lets people stay uninvolved. There are debts crushing good families, fields where the soil has started to die, and nobles who smile while tightening chains. People keep finding their way to Roen's door — a sharp-tongued merchant woman, a boy too clever for the life he was born into, a tired guild captain watching the southern road. Every spell risks exposure. Every kindness becomes attachment. And beneath the quiet fields, something old is beginning to wake.

Beacon from Beyond

Stygon

D25/100
Leven lived his entire life being the best person he could be — careful never to let his anger issues define or hurt anyone. Until the people he cared about most betrayed him. His one attempt to lash out ended in an unsatisfying death he refused to accept. His soul's struggle against the end drew the attention of something calling itself the System. In return for a second life, it demands he ascend to Godhood before the damaged System loses energy and destroys a section of the multiverse with it. Now reincarnated into a brutal, primitive world, the grand quest is quickly forgotten as he struggles simply to survive. Despite that, a fire within him keeps pushing toward a future he can barely see.

An avid xianxia reader suddenly gets what he always wanted — he wakes up in a real cultivation world. The only problem? Maybe it was never really his dream after all. Faced with the harsh reality of what cultivation truly involves, with endless realms to climb and an abundance of arrogant young masters to deal with, despair starts to creep in. Fortunately, his golden finger was not missing. A mysterious system appears in his mind, giving him elders, ancestors, and a sect leader to command. He no longer feels completely overwhelmed. After all, he doesn't have to do everything alone — well, technically, he does. They are his avatars.

A xianxia cultivation story featuring unique phoenix evolutions, monster evolution, and a "birdbrain" MC with flashes of ancient wisdom.
