Arachnomancer

Dustin Tigner

C45/100
Dhane kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion — every bone crushed against the full force of a 40-ton garbage truck. His soul bounced into the abyss between worlds, drifting until an excited soul watcher fished him out and found him a new home: a heaven for gamers, with classes, killing mobs, and a beautiful fantasy world full of mysteries. At least, it would have been those things if his first day had gone a little differently. Instead, he finds himself locked in an eternal conflict between light and shadow — humans and monsters — potentially as the enemy to all. Join Dhane as he explores his new world, full of unique characters, RPG mechanics, and spiders — ugly, terrifying spiders — while learning what it means to be an Arachnomancer.

Mask of Humanity

SlaughterBot

C45/100
In New London, year 2493, Nicolai is a centuries-old killer whose brain was implanted into the body of Zero-Twelve, a militarized killbot. Numb and apathetic, he is a cog in the machine — until Heaven arrives and the Great Game begins, and he is reborn as a human, his old body recreated along with the madness and blood rage that characterized his past. Given one direction — find the Lizard — Nicolai is thrown into Nightmare, a world of cultivation, undead, demons, spirit beasts, sects, and clans. He finds himself in a decaying castle constructed by a mysterious people, now filled with purposeless undead caught in an ancient war entering its final stages. For Nicolai, this new world is a dream come true. After a century trapped in metal, he is free — and he can resume his endless goal: to become the greatest fighter alive.

Poor Lost Child

C45/100
Jonny was the undefeated king of the octagon — until a group of incompetent goons accidentally killed him while trying to rig his next fight. He wakes up reincarnated as the only son of a duke in a world where magic is ordinary. There's just one problem: a rare condition prevents him from using magic. With his father's brother scheming for his death, Jonny is secretly sent to an orphanage for safety. But Jonny was the strongest before, and he intends to be the strongest again — and his very condition might be exactly what he needs to make that dream a reality.

Lucas is a dick, but you would be too if you died in a meth lab explosion and found yourself in a fantasy world. Now, with only his ruthlessness and an ever-increasing body of alchemical knowledge, he has to make his way in this new world — because being poor sucks no matter where you are. He has no idea what's going to happen, but he isn't dying again, because he already knows the afterlife is pretty much bullshit.

OGsecurityviking

D44/100
Björk was an ordinary man living an ordinary life — working as a blacksmith in a nation plagued by recurring civil wars, raised with divorced parents, and burning with a desire for something more exciting than his mundane existence. That desire will make him truly understand the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" as he finds himself ripped away from everything he knew. His only strength is his ability to simply go with the flow, no matter what happens. Will he survive? Thrive? Find a way home? A semi-interactive story where reader polls help shape the narrative.

Melvin Murphy is an ordinary high schooler until he discovers a System that governs all magic.

Nobody's Hero

Noct

D42/100
There's one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies. Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration — everything is on the table, except immortality. After all, if anyone were immortal, Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator-for-life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator forever. It's a good thing no one is immortal. Especially not Levi. A satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist, drawing on the vibes of The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City.

Assassins don't retire, they reincarnate. After a lifetime of training to become a master assassin, betrayal leaves him bleeding out on the streets of London. Just before death, a god offers him a choice: die, or become a personal assassin in another world. He chooses the latter. But this new world operates by a completely different set of rules.

Middang3ard

Ramy Vance

D42/100
What if J.R.R. Tolkien's work wasn't fiction, but a primer to help humanity get accustomed to a harsh truth? There are nine known realms, a world for each race — including dwarves, gnomes, and elves. In the middle rests Middang3ard. Each world knows the others. Each, except Earth. Humans long ago turned their backs on magic, and their governments shielded them from the reality of what was happening elsewhere. Then the Dark One appeared, threatening to overrun all nine worlds — and the second planet just went dark. Now, humans must send elite warriors to Middang3ard to fight before the battle reaches Earth's shores. Too bad their elite starts and ends with Robert "Suzuki" Fletcher and his team of Mundanes.

After the Final Chapter

GoldSphere

D42/100
Daniel spent a decade writing a single fantasy novel — the saga of Artorias Grifantes, the legendary mage who sealed himself away with an immortal evil to save the world. He finished the final chapter. Then he died face-down on his keyboard. He wakes up in a crystal chamber a thousand years after his ending, inside his hero's body. His protagonist has become a religious figure, his allies legends, and his hero's baby sister is long dead — though her descendants remain, including a blind little girl who needs a hand. The elf he wrote into a doomed romance is still out there, waiting. Daniel inherits the greatest mind on the continent, but with it come memories and emotions he never expected. And the seeds he planted for a sequel are still out there, worse than anything his hero ever faced. Instead of writing it, he will have to live it.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10

Phillip Rayne

D42/100
Jonathan Kelly, a citizen of a multiverse-spanning organization, is dispatched on a solo Dive assignment to a pre-industrial exotic world designated Epsilon H-037-072-030-010. The world features morphologically distinct humanoids and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws — and its causal chain is only provisionally stable. This is not a story about an MC isolated in a new world. It is a story about a new world joining a multiverse — a subverted Isekai grounded in scientific and philosophical consideration alongside the adventure.

The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns

Pancakes Witch

D42/100
Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in a brutal world of martial arts and cultivation, ascending to its absolute pinnacle — only to find herself unable to escape the Heavenly Will's grasp. She gambled everything on a final act, fleeing into the Outer Cosmos. She expected an end. Instead, a black hole spits her back to Earth, a planet now transformed: a Tower connects it to countless worlds, dimensional gates spew monsters, and awakened Hunters climb floors in a desperate bid to save humanity. With her mother and sister still alive, Bing Xue brings eleven thousand years of supreme cultivation to bear — against the Tower, the gods who run it, and anything else that stands between her and the people she loves.

Diary of a Teenaged Mimic

Kenny Celican

D42/100
Tabitha Diaz fits in wherever she winds up — even when that wherever is another world entirely. "Wear the mask long enough and you become the mask" isn't scary for the mask. Tabitha is an overpowered shapeshifter who is far too much of a dumbass to realize how overpowered she is. Her story is a slice-of-life isekai heavy on relationships, found family, and polyamorous romance between two bi women and their tiger-woman companion — set against a non-heteronormative secondary world with occasional over-the-top threats when her family is endangered.

Shadowed Knowledge (Pokemon)

Foxern

D42/100
Jason — Jace for short — was always a fan of Pokémon, games, and anime. So when a mugging lands him in a world full of the critters, he doesn't have much to complain about, even if that world is a bit darker than he'd have liked. He follows the Pokémon he meets, thwarts villainous plots, and tries to live the fantastical dream he always wished for. But he still needs to figure out why he was brought here, why he can talk to Pokémon, and why he knows more about this world than he remembers learning. A wholesome slice-of-life with adventure and a darker edge, following someone who wants to see the world and make as many Pokémon friends as possible.

People awake in a strange place with no idea of who or where they are. There is only a bizarre message carved into a metal obelisk and the growing awareness that every single living creature in this new world is a deadly threat — even seemingly cute and fluffy bunnies have a taste for human flesh. Under Nicholas's leadership, the survivors must fight, adapt, and forge alliances with other sapient races to build something lasting in a world that never stops throwing deadlier opponents at them.

When a colossal tower lands in the middle of a city, Devin Cain finds himself transported along with 99,999 others to a fantastical world called Gaea, ruled by floating demi-gods who claim humanity must prove Earth is worth saving. Gaea is entirely controlled by the System — a sarcastic, level-hungry intelligence that grants magical powers, strange classes, monsters, and loot, and forces players to compete in events with no clear endgame. Wielding a cursed katana that hungers for blood and souls, Devin must climb the tower and uncover the truth behind their abduction.
