I Swear I'm Not A Dark Lord!

CJ Holmes

B68/100
Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants is to practice magic and go fishing. A pleasant, quiet existence nobody should complain about. Except his family abandoned him, his new body is cursed, gods meddle in his affairs, the local mayor keeps dumping responsibilities on him, a strange kid keeps challenging him to duels, and everyone seems to want to know if he'd like to be a dark lord. Who has time for all of that when there are books to read and a lunker trout hiding in the river?

Mythic Cultivation: My Tongtian can't be this Cute

D.C. Haenlien

B68/100
In the grand myth of creation, Pangu split the chaos and sacrificed himself to form the world. From his remains arose all things — dragons, phoenixes, gods, and the Three Purities, inheritors of Pangu's legacy. Tongtian, the Heavenly Venerable of Numinous Treasures, has returned — with one small problem. "Why the hell am I a girl?" A story drawing on Chinese mythology and the rich tradition of xianxia cultivation, reframing the grand myths from an unexpected angle.

Dawn of the Density God

ToraAKR

B68/100
Madra: a planet stuck on hard mode, set to devour everyone on its surface. Jiran is just a child when he receives shattered, imperfect memories of a past life — and nestled inside those emotionless visions is a magic very different from the density and mana he knows: the magic of science. The empire stands alone against the relentless beasts of Madra. Their only means of survival is harnessing the density that saturates her surface, a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

Retrogression Keeper

Jonathan Brooks

When Bax is transported from Earth to an organization of powerful universe-spanning races, he learns that his world is being forcibly inducted into the Retrogression System — which will introduce monsters to Earth and eliminate all human technology. Enrolled in a Keeper training program to become a protector of inducted worlds, he is also slated to become a Keeper Guide for future human Keepers. The only problem: he arrived while fighting off the flu, and when he finally recovers and emerges from his room, the entire Cooperative appears to be abandoned. What is a Keeper Guide recruit to do when there is no one left to teach him?

Deathworld Commando: Reborn

RangerFrank

B68/100
Commander Kronos was not considered human — he was a weapon, grown in a tube to be the perfect soldier for his species. When he experienced genuine emotion for the first time, humanity eliminated him. He was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery as Kaladin Shadowheart, a dark elf, and given a second lease on life he initially refused to accept. It took a near-death experience and hard-won growth, but Kaladin finally committed to honoring a promise to his former comrades: to give this new life an honest try. A reincarnation progression story focused less on power fantasy and more on a former weapon learning what it means to be a person.

dGhl-IHBy-b3Rh-Z29u-aXN0 was born for war, its entire species created and grown as sentient cybernetic weapons. While sentience in its home universe means little beyond intelligence, in others it means owning a soul — and a wandering soul can be a very dangerous thing, especially when it awakens as the controller of a dungeon core.

The Last Diabolist

wkrrk

B68/100
My name is Jain Shin Hallow, and I eat lunch in the school bathroom. I'm in my senior year at Charter Academy, finished with my SATs, filling out college applications, living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan with my dad. I've been bullied all my life, mostly for not knowing when to shut up. Oh. It also turns out I'm the last of the Hallow Diabolists and the Shin Shamans. Pacts and bargains, ghosts, haunted amusement parks, mass graves, rooms that lead to other places, yokais and daevils — just another Friday. My name is Jain Shin Hallow, and I'm the last Diabolist of New York.

The Core's Origin

Neshi

B68/100
Dungeons are an integral part of so many stories and worlds — the foundation of an economy, a place for the weak to grow strong, or a threat to civilization itself. Nearly as common as the idea of a dungeon is the concept of a dungeon core. But where did dungeon cores first come from? Are they a natural occurrence? When did they first appear? This is the story of the first dungeon core.

Agenda of the Villainess

ThaviaVex

B68/100
As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life — and certainly not memories inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. A steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, set in a late Victorian-inspired world with a system of magic based around floral circuitry.

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

B67/100
The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest. Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion. Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn't ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn't matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage — Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn't starting now. He was already a god; now, he'll have to become the god.

C.Peinhopf

Some monsters are born. Others are chosen. Mirela was meant to be a saint, but her birth was cursed. Born a vampire beneath the shadow of prophecy, she never knew her blood carried both miracle and abomination — she only ever wanted to survive. On her eighteenth birthday, the divine Catalyst awakens her class and reveals a truth that could tear the world apart. Hunted, betrayed, and torn between the call of sainthood and the hunger in her veins, Mirela must decide what her power is truly worth. Blood and divinity were never meant to mix. In her hands, both may save the world — or end it.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest

Cathfach

B67/100
Katie is summoned to another world, but the mages responsible quickly realize it was a mistake — they only needed the Hero accidentally summoned alongside her. They send her on a simple fetch quest: retrieve a sword from down the hall and she'll be home in five minutes. When a goddess's blessing takes her wish for adventure rather too literally, Katie finds herself lost in a dark cave, far from the sword and far too close to a population of giant bugs. This is a dark LitRPG adventure in which Katie loses as often as she wins — sometimes with horrific consequences. Luckily, she's not the sort to let a gruesome death or two get her down, and is prepared to try again and again to complete her simple fetch quest.

Tales of the Endless Empire

The Curator

B67/100
A bloodmage born in shadows, a shapeshifter no one can predict, a survivor in a world set against him. Thalion's life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy — until the System arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others. The System granted people magic and even ways to defy time itself, but the tutorial has become more of a slaughter trial than a learning experience. A post-apocalyptic LitRPG featuring an adaptive magic system that evolves based on its wielder, multi-POV storytelling, and expansive worldbuilding.

Cursed Relic Collector

Maradina

B67/100
For thousands of years, magic has been obtained through trades with the gods: sacrifice magic materials upon their sacred altars, and the gods offer relics in return. But this world of powerful relics has always been far out of reach for Dain, a simple trinket merchant — until masked cultists try to sacrifice him to the gods. Vowing revenge, Dain commits the ultimate taboo: creating his own altar. Only, he accidentally creates one for a god who shouldn't exist — a god that will only trade him cursed relics. Dain will scour the world, hunt magic beasts, and barter their remains for greater and darker relics as he digs deeper into the ancient schemes behind the cultists who tried to destroy him.
