Borne of Desire

Fuggmann

A79/100
A man given a new lease on life finds himself among Pokémon. From his memories of the franchise, he assumes this world runs on convenient fate, rule of cool, and cheesy friendship — just like any anime. Unfortunately for everyone else, he's one hundred percent right.

Iron Blooded

Reece Brooks

A79/100
Thrust into a dangerous new fantasy world, Will's life becomes a war for survival. He has nothing more than a class called "Soldier" and a strange leveling system he's never seen before. When he stumbles across a dying stranger, a mysterious questline activates, sending him to the front lines where humanity wages war against a ruthless Goblin Horde. There he joins the standing Kadian Army and must forge his name from the fires of legend — facing goblins, hordes of undead, cultists, and demons while climbing through the military ranks.

Dean Henegar

A79/100
Colonel James Raytak is about to die. The 93-year-old combat veteran is living his last days in a nursing home; his only hope for survival is an experimental Medpod life support system controlled by an artificial intelligence.

Colonel Raytak must dust off his military training and lead his virtual troops in a fight to repair his broken body and mind while exploring the Limitless Lands.

Skyclad

a_man_in_black

A79/100
Morgan Mackenzie had a very bad day. First at work, then at home — and then her bathtub fell through a portal to another world, with her in it. Now she's stranded thousands of miles from any sort of civilization with nothing but the bathtub and a lace puffball scrubby. But she learned magic, so that's sort of nice. Now if only she could find some clothes. This is a bigger story than just one main character fighting the monster of the week — multiple characters and perspectives populate a fully realized world.

Trigger Happy - Magical Girl Arachnid Edition

Jarex

A79/100
Emotions are fuel. Happiness is ammo. Sam just wants to be a good person — which is why she uses her ability to see the unseen world of werewolves and vampires for good. Mainly, she hugs ghosts to death. But when shapeshifting aliens kill her cat, all the hugs and pleasantries in the world won't get her back. Becoming a magical girl will. Nobody said it was going to be easy. Even equipped with magic, guns, and extra limbs, she is woefully unprepared when an entire alien invasion descends on her hometown.

The Undying Immortal System

G Tolley

A79/100
Living in a world of cultivators is like walking on the edge of a knife. Su Fang arrives completely unprepared, knowing nothing and lacking any skills — destined, by all accounts, to die. Fortunately, Su Fang is immortal. Not because he cannot die, but because when he does, he un-dies. His System returns him to the start of his journey after each death, rewarding credits he can spend on anything — but only enough to return him to the point where he fell. To advance further, he must rely on himself alone. A story that is equal parts time loop and xianxia, with a focus on cultivating the self as much as cultivating power. Not about saving the world — about living life in an unfamiliar place where everyone seems to want you dead or enslaved.

An HFY Tale: Drop Pod Green

Guardbro's Field Desk

A79/100
Coming off humanity's first multi-planet war, the Inner Dolcir Coalition barely survived — thanks in large part to Earth. Rhidi, a Kafya and member of the dominant IDC race, served in a specialized force during the war's final phase. With the war over and her mother pressing her toward marriage and children, Rhidi signs up for a joint military training program: a statement to the Humans that IDC members are their equals. The program turns out to be far more than Rhidi bargained for — not only in challenge, but in the freedom she has always craved.

The Ultimate Passive Paradigm

Triopals

A79/100
For two years, Nathan has been the weakest disciple in his sect, cursed with an abysmal energy absorption rate and facing imminent expulsion. His dream of returning to Earth to save his ailing mother is dying. Then his long-dormant System awakens and grants him a bizarre, unique ability: the Passive Paradigm. His flaw is no longer a curse — it is the key to a new kind of advancement where endurance equals strength and survival itself fuels explosive growth. By discovering loopholes and turning the rules of cultivation upside down, Nathan forges his own path to power.

Path of the Deathless

OstensibleMammal

A79/100
Whatever kills Shiv only makes him stronger. An outcast in his town, considered an unholy omen, Shiv has spent years fruitlessly hunting monsters on his own — the System seems to spurn him and the authorities refuse to grant him a Path. When his town is attacked and Shiv is murdered in combat, he finds himself bestowed with a Unique Path possessed by no one else: the Path of the Deathless. Resurrecting upon death, he is cast into the Abyss. In that dark and wondrous place, he is finally free to chart his own destiny — if he can survive its countless dangers. In a world that stands against him, death is not the end. For Shiv, it's just another source of power.

Epic

Conor Kostick

A79/100
Generations ago, violence was banned on New Earth. Society is governed and conflicts are resolved in the arena of a fantasy computer game called Epic. Everyone plays. Win, and you earn access to university, more supplies for your community, and a chance to fulfill your dreams. Lose, and your life inside and outside the game is worth nothing. When Erik, seeking revenge for the unjust treatment of his parents, dares to subvert the rules of Epic, he and his friends find themselves up against the ultimate masters of the game: the Committee.

The Greatest Archmage To Have Ever Lived

Prismo101

A79/100
Sael the Great helped defeat the Corrupted One four hundred years ago, ushering in the longest era of peace the world has ever known. Since then, most of his companions have died, the world moved on, and Sael retreated to a cloud in the sky — thought dead by all but a few, fading into legend. Until a young woman named Ilsa, a descendant of one of his earliest companions, comes looking for him. Whispers from the West speak of settlements vanishing overnight, swallowed by a creeping entity that even the mages cannot explain. The stories sound familiar — echoes of an evil Sael thought gone forever. To investigate, he'll need to traverse lands that have forgotten his face, dodge the cults that formed around his legend, and perhaps train a student or two — remembering that life has much more to offer than smoking on a cloud and longing.

Telos is a world at the center of the Universe — a bright jewel wrapped in a lattice of realities, home to gods and demons at the beginning of a new age. Remy is a newly risen deity struggling to survive in a Battle Royale where the consequences are worse than death and last longer than damnation. He cannot live without his tribe of worshipers — their strength is his, and his is theirs. Other tribes want nothing more than to feast on their flesh and consume their power. Gods of ancient pantheons and demons of forbidden nightmares compete in a timeless game where the stakes are the souls of every living being.

Walter Tye is the best friend any adventurer needs — the smiling shopkeeper next to your local dungeon, selling cheap healing potions and sharing monster intel. You can trust him. He is also the undead necromancer ruling that very dungeon, getting paid to solve problems he caused in the first place. But don't tell anyone that.

He doesn't know why he's there, but his natural empathy for animals has grown into a full ability to tame and control dinosaurs.

Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world by the vain, self-styled god Dolos, who refuses to send them back unless they complete an impossible task — and who oddly doesn't seem to care if they succeed or not. Luckily, the two studied Historical European Martial Arts on Earth. But a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with only magic-granting orbs from an apathetic god, they begin their insane adventure — though basic survival and paying rent will have to take priority.

Maidens of the Fall

Hungry

A79/100
Octavia blames magical girls for the collateral damage that killed her parents and left her disabled. In the decades since the wall between the waking world and the Dreamlands came crashing down, no firepower can match divine favour — only young women chosen by the Dream-Gods of Earth can turn back the Nightmares that creep through the open wound in reality cutting through England's heart. Octavia's greatest wish is to go unnoticed, to swallow her rage and her desire, ignoring a hopeless love for her best friend as university parts them forever. But then a magical girl attacks another in a terrorist bombing, and Octavia finds herself arrested — both witness and suspect. The only way out is a contract with a Dream-God, but this divine trickster isn't from Earth. Fugitive and public enemy, she discovers there's a whole other type of magical girl — and now she's one of them. Freedom and revenge no longer seem impossible, but things worse than Nightmares are seeping through the ragged edges of reality, and Octavia knows she's a pawn in a cosmic game.

The Toll-Road to Immortality (Xianxia)

ThatGit

A79/100
It takes more than just talent to reach the heavens — more than an accident of birth or a flash of fortune. It is a long, arduous journey that comes with many costs. When you're an orphan street rat with no money, no family, and nothing but hunger and death in your future, you don't question miracles. Calvin certainly didn't question his. A miraculous artifact offering guidance, purpose, and treasures beyond mortal comprehension has arrived, and suddenly his future doesn't seem quite so dark anymore. A gradual xianxia cultivation story with a clearly defined power system, sects, martial arts, and an expansive original setting drawing on more than just typical xianxia influences.

PokeBun

RavensDagger

A79/100
A lost and terrified Buneary stumbles into the Ruins of Alph and, in his desperation, calls upon forces beyond his understanding. What appears is a girl he suspects might be human — though Broccoli Bunch has strange powers and the ears and heart of a gentle Lopunny. They join forces, determined to grow stronger in a world of strange Pokemon and stranger friends, where old mysteries need uncovering and new enemies need to be pounded into the dirt. Chaos Cuddles Cauliflower isn't going to end as just some ordinary Buneary — he's determined to get to the top, one hop, skip, and bounce at a time. The story is told entirely from the perspective of the people and Pokemon Broccoli meets, never from her own point of view.
