A Dearth of Choice (Dungeon Core)

Grim Tide

A76/100
A young dungeon core forms next to a lovely village full of lovely people who would probably understand its plight — if only it had a mouth with which to speak. Instead, everything goes horribly, terribly wrong. This is the story of a village, a dungeon, and a core's desperate desire to provide light, laughter, and life. It tries to choose talents and perks that bolster its life-mana alignment every time. So how did it end up with an undead army and insane boosts to death-aligned mana? How did everything go so wrong?

An Unborn Hero

Cathfach

A76/100
The tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship. Unfortunately, a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally — meaning it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait. Also in contention: the embryo of a hero facing the egg of a demon lord in a battle with serious mobility issues on both sides. And two new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them. An absurdist LitRPG comedy in which an unborn hero speedruns the plot so efficiently it may all be over before she gets around to being born.

Artorian's Archives

Dakota Krout, Dennis Vanderkerken

A76/100
After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken, an old man is out for revenge. He is ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation. Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him it was impossible — then quietly ignored them and started anyway. He had always failed at everything: lost his way from the academy, lost his command to a Mage, lost his town. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate — no matter what it cost him.

Little Devil

DocteurNS

A76/100
Samael has lived her entire life in what most people would call Hell — because it is. Fire, brimstone, demons, pitchforks, and tortured souls, all the usual trappings. But Samael is oblivious to most of it, having spent her days in the deepest reaches of Tartarus as a wandering hermit alongside her devil father and the occasional visit from a naggy angel aunt. Meanwhile, Sophia lives a peaceful life as a young priestess on a sacred island, largely ignored by the world. When her day takes a turn for the absolute worst, an unexpected ally stumbles into her path and turns her peaceful existence completely upside down.

A76/100
Hong Fei was once a promising soldier. Now his cultivation is crippled, and he limps toward his last hope: a quiet position in the household of Duke Yu, an old family ally living in exile. All he seeks is a place to fade into obscurity with dignity. But fate has other plans. Two mysterious cards fall into his possession — one summons a giant badger spirit beast, the other heals what everyone said couldn't be healed. When he finally reaches the Yu household, he finds not refuge but a family under siege: the duke is dying, the duchess hides her own illness, and rival nobles circle like wolves. Hong Fei wanted to disappear. Instead, he must become the shield between a falling house and those who would devour it — while behind the political schemes and assassination attempts, someone is stealing fate itself.

Coming of age is hard enough without monsters — but when your family ends up stranded in a magical world, you don't have much choice.

Set in the world of Eloria, with character sheets, stats, spell descriptions, and loot — but not a game. Jackson must navigate dangers in both dungeons and the halls of power if he is to find a new home for his family.

He will need allies, weapons, warships, and an ancient mecha that feeds on the bones of the world to grow stronger. A military progression fantasy featuring magitech, sandships, dark comedy, and a group of losers on a long road from dodging cannibal bikers to building a fleet of starships.

Takemi wakes in a battlefield triage tent — bloody, battered, and with no memory of his name, his past, or what happened to him. The battle is not over, and the enemy is not content with victory alone. In an ether-ravaged post-apocalyptic world cast back into the dark ages, feudal lords fight for control over land and resources. Takemi has friends at his side willing to challenge their cowardly leaders and fight for his survival. Mental constructs called mind palaces grant cultivators game-like perks and near-superhuman abilities — and knowledge may prove to be the greatest power of all.

Salvos

V.A. Lewis

A76/100
The Netherworld is a hellish landscape inhabited only by Demons, creatures born from the dark abyss — and it is the only world Salvos knows. Joining the ranks of newborn demons, she is thrown into a violent, anarchy-ruled landscape where she must learn, adapt, and evolve to survive. Her curiosity aids her but her pride could be her fall. It is the nature of the Netherworld to avoid or conquer any threat — after all, the law of evolution is survival of the fittest. Set in a game-like world with Classes, Levels, and monster evolution, Salvos is a story where the world is entirely real to those who inhabit it.
