Amber the Cursed Berserker

Azrie, V.A. Lewis

C52/100
Without any warning, Amber is transported from her student apartment to a fantastical realm with magic, monsters, and a universal System. Ripped from her home and thrust into a dangerous new life, she finds — for the first time — that she finally feels free. There are no gods to guide her and no cheats to rely on. But the pain and hardships only give her strength. As the first Cursed Berserker seen in over a hundred years, Amber welcomes the world of Vir with a smile — and she will not be satisfied until she is the strongest.

The Matter Destructor

Lucian Cross

C52/100
Hunter Graves was quiet, unreadable — a data analyst with a poker face and a life built on routine. But when a storm of lightning ripped his world apart, Hunter and everyone he knew were thrown into the Multiversal System, a brutal trial of survival where humanity was nothing more than raw material to be tested. Accepting the class of a healer, Hunter should have been relegated to the backline. Instead, his cold pragmatism and honed martial skill make him something far more dangerous — a fighter who refuses to die by the rules others set for him. Level by level, kill by kill, he grows sharper and faster while quietly unraveling the secrets of his skills and the unseen powers who watch from above.

Steamforged Sorcery

Actus

C52/100
The Great War ravaged the earth many years ago. In the years that followed, the world rebuilt by mixing machinery and magic into something new — great blimps belching steam above metal city-states that sprouted like weeds across the desert. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly realizes the world is far larger — and far more deadly — than he ever predicted. No amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking greater strength and claiming the greatest treasures the world has to offer.

Ashborn Primordial

Vowron Prime

C52/100
Ekavir is a lumberjack's son — ordinary by every measure, except that crows speak in eldritch voices near him and his blood-red eyes terrify the village children. He might be the latest incarnation of a dreaded god called the Primordial, the Ender of Realms, but he has no idea. When knights arrive hunting for the Primordial, Vir loses everything. To survive, he must grow strong — but there is one problem: he cannot do magic. Not even a simple flame. To take back control of his destiny, Vir will have to forge an entirely new path to power, clawing forward through a world that wants him dead.

Bradford Bates, Michael Anderle

C51/100
Tim was always a planner — college, graduate, well-paying job. That plan was coming together until he saw a presentation at his graduation ceremony offering him a chance to get paid to play a virtual world called The Etheric Coast. He could spend his life in a cubicle and a one-bedroom apartment, or he could take a leap of faith into a world of unlimited possibilities. Now he just has to figure out how to get the job of his dreams, help his parents financially, and catch the attention of the girl of his dreams. Tim sure hoped the wave he was about to catch didn't kill him first.

Desolada

lkal92

Under their dominion mankind flourished, though the war in the shadows never ended. A thousand years later, sixteen-year-old Leones' family is executed for the crime of heresy — burned to death for questioning whether the Archon of Flames is truly divine. After manifesting the power to control time, Leones survives and embarks on an uncertain journey for power and revenge. But to overcome a god, he may need help — and along the way he will discover the truth behind the demon lords, time, and reality itself.

The Emperor Without An Empire

Drew Royston

C51/100
They stole his empire, his cultivation, even his name. Their mistake was leaving him alive. Now going by Shen Taros, he carries seven hundred years of experience in an eighteen-year-old body with the spiritual capacity of wet parchment. A god-like cultivator will hunt him within the year. In the meantime, he is opening meridians one painful breath at a time, learning alchemy from a terrifying mistress, and picking entirely avoidable fights with powerful people who consider themselves beyond justice. Between all of that, working in a decrepit fish warehouse, and dodging loan sharks, he is making remarkable progress. They wanted this Emperor permanently retired. He intends to disappoint them.

The Machine God

Xiphias

C51/100
Alexander died and woke up in a world not so different from his own — except for the aliens, the superhumans, and somehow becoming a villain with a supervillain team. Now every hero and bounty hunter in the country is after him. In a world where the rich get away with murder and heroes cause as much destruction as the bad guys, Alexander intends to change that. At the center of all the madness is a System still being born — shaped by humanity's hopes, greed, and desperation — and it doesn't just want this world. It wants all of them.

HELL CLIMBER

Paul Todkill

C51/100
The gods are real — and they hate you. This wouldn't be true for most people, but for Samuel Lin, whose first interaction with a god was cursing them out, well, you get the idea. Sam was behind on his Master's thesis when he was selected as one of humanity's representatives in an interstellar battle royale: a fight to the death on the grandest cosmic scale. Dropped through a portal onto the slopes of Mt. Olympos, he discovers the only way to survive is to climb, and the only way to climb is to fight. Surrounded by enemies and marked for death by grudge-bearing gods, Sam faces a very interesting question: does he have what it takes to kill a god? Each Ring of the climb is a new world with new quests, new party members, and new ways to die.

Abyssal Road Trip

Redhand (Glenn Wright)

C50/100
Julia is a practical person. All she wanted was a home and family to call her own — a small piece of the world she could say was hers. Instead of arriving home one evening, she finds herself in the Abyss, trapped inside a cursed body. The curse may have caught her, but she certainly won't let it — or anyone else — tell her how she has to live. To escape, she will need to become strong enough to descend to the Abyss's deepest reaches, where the most dangerous secrets lie in wait. There is darkness in the Abyss, and a darkness within her that might draw it in — but she'll need to risk its strength if she ever wants to get home.

Dragon Core: The Dragon-Girl Evolution & Princess-Collecting Dungeon Core Isekai

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C50/100
Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

Zed is a washed-up MMA fighter with little future ahead of him. While out with friends, he meets a woman with an unbelievable story: aliens are going to take over the solar system in two years. He dismisses her — until she shows him things that aren't possible, including healing his chronic injuries and revealing her true, non-human appearance. There's no stopping the takeover. Humanity will be transported to an already-populated planet and must find a way to survive. A few humans are to be sent ahead to prepare the way — the Forerunners.

When isekai'd healer-turned-saint Eric Mercer dies watching his world crumble under a godlike titan, he expects peace or oblivion. Instead, he wakes up fifteen years in the past, summoned once more into the world of Elyndor — memories intact and the apocalypse inevitable. Stripped of his strength and starting again at level one, Eric must rebuild everything — alliances, power, and trust — before the end returns. Healing and protection won't be enough to stop the apocalypse. He must abandon the sanctity of his old magic and embrace something far darker. Every choice reshapes fate. And every decision draws him closer to redemption — or ruin.

He progresses slowly, steadily, and not without setbacks — and changes in ways that blur the line between hero and monster. Set in the Valley, the only human empire to survive a Final Battle, the story follows a soul that may prove the war was never truly over.
