Mahael the Divine

Robert Blaise

B67/100
Humanity lost an ancient interdimensional war. Now demons, commanded by devil overlords, are exterminating human existence. In a final act of desperation, angels banish a lone world into a starless, lifeless corner of the universe — just out of demonic reach. All they need is a selfless soul willing to become the Final Guardian: an entity whose entire existence is devoted to postponing humanity's end. They get a volunteer. He is no saint. Sadly for the demons, he is something far worse. Every time he dies, he revives. Every time he aids humanity, he grows stronger. There is no winning against an infinitely vast demon army — but he just might be crazy enough to keep losing indefinitely.

Terminate the Other World! [An Isekai LitRPG]

Icalos

B67/100
Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer, Designation NSLICE-00P, was your average everyday killer cyborg enslaved to a shadow organization bent on world domination — until she was hacked, sent back in time, and ordered to terminate her own creator. Once she succeeded, the resulting time paradox ejected her from her reality entirely. Now the wayward cyborg girl finds herself in a strange new world with no directives, no knowledge, no commanders, and no way home — but with new and fantastic powers. What could possibly go wrong?

An Immortal's Retirement: To Achieve Peace

Malaklein

B67/100
Array King Dane has had enough of the cultivator's world. Fight, kill, grow stronger, and fight some more — that was their lifestyle. Cultivation was nothing more than the eternal rat race of immortals, and everyone falls eventually. Eternity made any odds a guarantee given enough time, so Dane quits the game while he's still ahead. And so he retires. No more fighting, no more killing, no more violence. He's chosen peace — but unfortunately, peace has to be protected.

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.

Saga of the Soul Dungeon

AJFoxmoor

B67/100
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. He's not particularly happy to be dead, so resurrection in any form isn't too bad. The real problem? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has to share mind-space with it. That doesn't even account for the powerful wizard who is understandably reluctant to let a dungeon escape. And even once he manages to escape, he must found and manage a dungeon in a location fraught with complications: it sits on the border of two rival human nations, a sentient plant race claims the ground as sacred, and teams of adventurers keep wandering in looking for a living. Through it all, Caden is determined not to lose his humanity and become just another murder-hobo dungeon.

God of Trash

Noct

B67/100

That passion gets him mistaken for an actual trash god and whisked away to another world, where he wakes up in a trash heap with trash talents, trash skills, and no chance of progression.

Words of Power

Shami Stovall

B67/100
In the Tze Empire, spirits and demons rule the wilds, but Ring Warlocks control civilization. For Rimon, the son of a courtesan and the lowest in society, Ring Warlocks seem like gods — each with their own magic drawn from Titans, doing whatever they please regardless of how it affects the prefectures they rule. When a chance encounter places one of the ancient and powerful rings in Rimon's hands, everything changes. Suddenly he is no longer at the fringes of power — he is a Ring Warlock granted his own territory. Determined to make his prefecture thrive, he must contend with jealous rivals, demons seeking his ring, and forces he cannot yet name.

Cruel Violet

Dreamer's Riot

B67/100
It's been centuries since the world fell to the mist and crystal, changing the flora, fauna, and the very air. Humanity slowly returns from mountain refuges, mastering crystals and the strange clarity they offer. Now, at age five, every child receives a crystal inlay ring that reveals their calling — a specific area of excellence and a unique method of growth. Everyone has a calling. Everyone but Violet. For eleven years she has been the only child with no calling, learning to adapt to the ridicule and pity with a carefully worn persona of warmth and kindness. Then she finds herself with blood on her hands — and finally understands how to feed her calling, and her appetite.

King of Fools: Silver Tongue

NoDragons

B66/100
There's never been a situation in Jasper Stone's life he didn't make worse by opening his mouth — ridiculous amounts of trash-talk and overconfidence just spill out. He's never managed to do anything with his wits. But when the God of Fools tosses him into another world for amusement's sake, he'll need to put them to use. Because there are bandits, dragons, and cultists out there — none of whom appreciate Jasper's particular gift for insults.

Bloodsworn

Dominick R

B66/100
The Dragons have been slain, the Giants pacified, the Elves have retreated to the old growth forests, and the Dwarven forges have gone cold. Magic fled from the world as the Empire of Man rose supreme on the strength of technology — until Essence ignites, filling the world with the old powers of myth and legend. Erak doesn't care about any of it. His Oaths are etched into his Blood, and the Weight Essence has given them has only made them stronger. He serves his Queen: her shield, her sword, her guardian. Cut off from her as portals tear open the sky and release a storm of demons upon the Empire, he will fight his way to her side. Rallying survivors, soldiers, civilians, and scholars, Erak is determined to cut through every legion of Hell standing between him and his Queen. For he is the Bloodsworn, and nothing shall stop him from honoring his Oaths.

The Adventures of Rania Mortal the Perfectly Normal Elf

WittyPseudonym

B66/100
"I am legally required to inform you that she is a Perfectly Normal Elf," the devil said. Rania Mortal would have told you that herself. She's never been sure why her normalcy is subject to debate. Sure, she knows very little about how society works, treats a painted pebble as a treasured companion, and bases an alarming number of decisions on what would look coolest in a book — but she has perfectly logical explanations for all of those things. Her fellow adventurers agree she is probably just eccentric. Perfectly ordinary behavior for a shaman. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the god of stories has taken a personal interest in their mission, and Rania is certainly not helping on that front.

AceGreen

B66/100
Sleuth out the reincarnators. Retrieve their jeweled eyes. Stop this world's destruction. That is Ailn's reluctant mission — except he is not really Ailn. He is an impostor: a detective from another world who cannot even remember his own name. Summoned by a young god with a terrible habit of hiding crucial details, the detective must use his past-life instincts and emerald eyes to unmask other reincarnators — all while wearing a mask of his own. Now posing as a noble son whose family has protected the empire from shadow beasts for generations, he faces a complication: the original Ailn had a trash reputation, was just killed, and the prime suspect is his sister, the duchy's beloved future Saintess. First things first: time to solve his own murder.

Harry Potter and the Surprisingly Competent History of Magic Professor

TheFanficGOD

B66/100
Cassian Rosier is a near-Squib from one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families — the family's punching bag, mocked and barely tolerated. When a simple light spell becomes his last chance to prove himself, his world shatters: the Cassian they knew is gone, replaced by a man from our world with no magic but a lifetime of teaching behind him, and only the vaguest memories of a "Harry Potter" series he never bothered to read. Trapped in a ruined reputation with no real power, the new Cassian has one goal: survive. When forced to lecture on magic, he bluffs his way through by teaching Lumos — a spell he doesn't know. Something strange happens: as hundreds of students learn from his lecture, mastery floods his mind. Ancient variations awaken, along with memories that don't belong to him — some illuminating forgotten magic, others sharp, dark, and dangerous. Sent to Hogwarts as a professor, Cassian must juggle pureblood family expectations, faculty suspicion, and a power that grows every time he teaches — while wondering whether he is drawing on ancient wisdom or inviting something far worse into himself.

Master, This Poor Disciple Died Again Today

Noct

B66/100
In the midst of faking his death, Xiao Hui finds himself transmigrated into a cultivation world. With great hopes for what is to come, he gets taken in by a sect and chosen by a powerful master — except his master seems to have a hole in his brain. As a weakling who recognizes his place in the world, Xiao Hui faces certain death at every turn. So why fight it? He does what he does best: fake it, duck the fallout, and somehow claw his way to the top through a combination of cleverness and enthusiastic self-preservation. A xianxia comedy in the vein of A Will Eternal and Spirit Blade Mountain — neither grimdark nor fluffy, but woven through with both silly and intense moments.

CSStephen

B66/100
Truth is stranger than fiction. Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children — simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world: a place with culture, economics, and politics, inhabited by people with their own passions, goals, and prejudices. What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself in a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility — but not all of those possibilities are good?
