The Jester of Apocalypse

Robert Blaise

B68/100
Despite being a young master of the Zearthorn sect, Neave refuses to cultivate — years of beatings and abuse haven't changed his mind. Forced to choose between an arranged marriage and a path of cultivation, he makes a third choice: entering a secret vault and touching a book he should never have touched. Trapped in a hellish time loop of death and suffering, he fights waves of demons in an impossible challenge of skill, creativity, and perseverance. What will happen when he finally returns — oblivious to the apocalypse he has become, unaware of the horrors he dragged back with him?

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

B68/100
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.

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.

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.

Tales of the Endless Empire

The Curator

B68/100
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.

Thrust into Tenria's realm of magic and steam engines, Cole discovers a power beyond anything he has imagined. But his new world may not be so different from the old one, and the stakes remain the same: there are people who depend on him, people he might not be able to save. Cole and his team are but men facing unimaginable odds. Even so, they may yet prove history's truth: that the greatest heroes are always just human.

Reforged from Ruin

Silv3rtongue

B67/100
Raika used to be a cultivator — living in a sect, fighting in tournaments, defying the heavens as cultivators do. She was never the strongest or wisest, but she never gave up and always stood by her ideals. Then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled. In a world ruled by a millennia-old Emperor and his Blades, where enslaved Daemons serve as weapons of mass destruction and eldritch entities roam at the edges of reality, Raika is now less than worthless. But when the choice is surrender or madness, she chooses madness. Embarking on a strange new path, she will abandon humanity, sanity, and the rule of the Empire to become something far stranger and more powerful than she ever imagined. A story of slow-burn progression, expansive worldbuilding, and a protagonist who keeps transforming — body, mind, and soul — until she is truly free.
