Vae Victis

Ivan Kal

B63/100
When alternate Earth is subsumed into a new reality comprising many worlds, Marianna Rojas — a young vampire who was sold to a cartel as a child — is chosen as one of thirty Exemplars to experience the new world ahead of everyone else. Accompanied by a tiny dragon named Saia, Marianna works to master the mysterious Mask and the skills it unlocks. She has one month to explore this strange new realm before she's sent back to a freshly integrated Earth to help with its transition — and every faction there seems to want her blood.

Hocus, Pocus, Hypothesis: A Scientific Isekai

Persimmon

B63/100
The Scientist cared only for the Truth. His brilliant career was thrown into doubt because fools could not see what was before their eyes. When he reaches too far in his search for undeniable proof, he dies. Against all reason, he wakes up — reborn in a coven of witches, in a world where magic is king and science is unknown. But the System is the key to finding the Truth. Now going by the name Orion Voidwalker, he will use his scientific knowledge to reach heights previously thought impossible, even as chaos spreads through the Cyril Magocracy and not everyone is content to watch him discard dogma in his quest.

Wage Slave to Archmage

Mike Blackmoor

B63/100
Finn was a Senior Engineer at Google. He died at his desk at 3 AM and woke up penniless in the gutter of Cinderhold — a brutal world where humanity sits at the bottom of the food chain. His magic talent is non-existent. His mana is pathetic. Then the System loads, giving him the Genesis Editor: a tool that lets him optimize spells the way a programmer debugs code. But the System isn't free — it runs on money. To survive Abyssal horrors and corrupt mages, Finn needs gold, and he'll brew black-market tonics and exploit dungeon glitches to get it. They call it cheating. He calls it a feature.

Behemoth

lkal92

B63/100
Cyril, the affable third prince of the Wandering Phoenix Tribe, awakens in the desert with no memory of his recent past. Destined to serve as the future Librarian of his people, he never expected to become the vessel of Behemoth, one of the World Titans — celestial beings ancient as the world itself, viewed like the eruption of a volcano or a tsunami capable of washing away an entire nation. More interested in reading romance novels than conducting war, Cyril seeks only to return to his family. But he soon discovers he is not the only anomaly to arise, and not everyone has such peaceful intentions. Armed with an unfathomable reservoir of mana and the spirit of a colossus, Cyril must stand tall through the upheaval of the old world and the birth of a new one.

Deluge: hydras can be adventurers too

tenfingers

B62/100
In the swamp, the rules are simple: you eat them, or they eat you. Nothing's ever that simple when humans get involved. They feed you weird potions, teach you ridiculous commands, and make you fight pointless fights with totally unfair enemies. After years of non-consensual experimentation and a dark ritual involving goat's blood, the System reclassified Deluge as sentient. A nice title, but not something you can eat. Now, armed with heightened intelligence and slowly accumulating knowledge, Deluge expected the world to finally make sense. It doesn't. The more he learns, the more absurd it gets: civilization, laws, status, guilds, oaths — all random nonsense. There's only one system Deluge respects, and that's the System. System gives you levels. System gives you power.

Relict Legacy

Shemer Kuznits

B62/100
On the first day, a mist descended from the heavens blanketing the earth. On the second day, a cryptic message — "Infusion commencing" — appeared in the corner of everyone's eyes. By the fifth day, the warping began. Animals and people started transforming into terrible monsters that prey on the living. Within months, human civilization had crumbled. Unable to fight the seemingly indestructible beasts, survivors cowered in reinforced shelters — until a few brave souls discovered how to use the Tec to level up. Together they represent humanity's last best hope. But their journey will require them to adapt to alien technology, operate strange spaceships, and befriend an extra-terrestrial merchant with an inferiority complex.

Rise of the Last Summoner

Todd Herzman

B62/100
Four hundred years after demon hordes were unleashed on the world of Elaria, humanity survives in a single valley — the Valley of Auld, its last bastion. Elian is markless, unable to activate skills, one of the poorest workers in the salt mines outside the city walls. The wagon that carries the miners is locked not to keep them in, but to keep the demons out. When the wagon is attacked and every marked guard is slain, Elian discovers he is not markless at all — he is full-marked, with access to all four classes: Infuser, Invoker, Necromancer, and Summoner. Summoners brought the demon hordes in the first place, and their bloodline has been purged. If anyone learns what Elian truly is, he will be killed on sight the moment he reaches the city.

A necromancer prince lies down in his crypt to rest for a few decades and wakes to find that centuries have passed.

A quiet, slice-of-life LitRPG about farming. The chance of a lifetime started with a gift: the inheritance of an old farmstead outside the town of Summer Shandy — overgrown, overrun with field monsters, and badly in need of a tilling. But for Jason Hunter, it's a start. Farm life doesn't come easy, though. With a mountain of chores ranging from monster extermination to watering crops, Jason will need to manage his stamina, build up his endurance, and maintain a social life if he's going to live the quiet life in the country.

The Undying Immortal System

Greg Tolley

B62/100
A weak soul must not cultivate. Madness consumes the weak of mind. Eternal servitude awaits the weak of heart. Su Fang arrives in a realm of cultivation unprepared — no skills, no knowledge, and no backing. His blessing from the Heavenly Dao isn't power over the elements or mastery of profound arts — it's repetition. Every time he dies, he returns to the moment of his arrival. He uses each reset to grind skills, refine his inner essence, and empower his soul using only the memories of countless failures. Yet the world is ruthless, and time alone won't be enough. Every reset washes away not only his mistakes, but his triumphs. In a land where even the strong perish, his fate is clear: he's an immortal destined to die. Over and over.

Apocalypse Born

artifex

B62/100
The world as humanity knew it ended in the year 2000. Over the course of a week, billions died and survivors were faced with a reality that no longer made sense — wizards, monsters, robots, and a mysterious heads-up display that reads like a particularly uninterested narrator were just the beginning. But that part of the story is mostly done. Hunter, instead of living in the age of heroes and martyrs bravely fighting for the future of humanity, is born in 2003. By the time he can walk and talk, humanity has already fought back the worst of its demons and settled into a new status quo. What's an easily bored kid supposed to do in the Midwest when there's all this magic and nothing to do with it?

When that little is lost, he'll do whatever it takes to get it back.

She better make friends fast, because out here it's thrive or die. No amount of videogames prepared her for a world where she can actually gain Skills and level up, or for a series of trials that seem designed to kill her rather than teach her to survive. What could possibly be the real goal of the mysterious predecessors who built them?
