Courting Death

Blue Moon 13

S85/100
Martin Zheng has always held dying hands and listened for the hush that comes after the final heartbeat. It's his gift, his burden — until the night he gives his own life to shove a child away from speeding headlights and awakens in Death's embrace. She is Thanara: silver-haired, star-eyed, lonelier than the long darkness she guides. For one stolen moment, two caretakers share a tenderness deeper than fear. Then the cosmos declares his death "an error" and hurls him back to existence. Reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm — where sword-saints carve mountains and power is measured in the lives you can end — Martin remembers only fragments: a scent of rain-drenched lilacs, a pulse in his chest, a promise to meet Death again. While rival sects chase immortality, he walks the forbidden Dao of Death, mastering the grace of endings so he can stand beside the woman no one dares to love.

Me and My Demons

Oleg Sapphire

S85/100
My name is Konstantin, and I am no ordinary demonologist. In my past life, I was one of the world's greatest — and the horned lords and masters of the inferno trembled at my name. That name still carries weight in this new world, where I have chosen a very different path: soldier. The army turns out to be a total madhouse that obeys no reason, and the only way to understand it is to experience it. But Konstantin thrives where others merely survive — and the demons that once feared his name are about to be reminded why.

Cultivation Nerd

HolyMouse

A84/100
Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to shatter the arrogance of young masters and fight anyone who got in his way. Unfortunately, he died — and now finds himself in that world for real. Jade-like beauties? No thanks, he'd rather study the magical energy. Young masters and life-and-death battles? He'd rather read books on cultivation and master techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

All Jobs and Classes! I Just Wanted One Skill, Not Them All!

Comedian0 L

A84/100
Ludger was supposed to be just another forgotten soul, reborn into a quiet life. With nothing but a mysterious system in his vision and the faint promise of growth, he resigned himself to learning the humble trade of cooking — until one reckless night in a tavern, when a hooded mage and a simple spell shattered the illusion of normalcy forever. Marked by the system as a prodigy, Ludger finds himself with access to every Job, every Class, and every Master's path. He refuses to let his second life waste away like his first. From kitchen tricks to forbidden magic, every choice reshapes not only his future but the balance of power around him — and what begins as a child's daily grind slowly transforms into the legend of a boy who refuses to follow anyone's script but his own.

Power Overwhelming

Flamebeard

A84/100
A transmigrated soul wakes in a new world, finding a new family and — more importantly — magic. Not the muscle-bound kind that obeys the square-cube law, but something entirely different: a force with no physical volume, and therefore no apparent ceiling on its power. There are also scary monsters in this world, which makes getting stronger sensible enough. But the real obsession is simpler — finding out just how far the magic can be pushed.

Mage Tank

Cornman8700

A83/100
After being killed by a high-velocity tree, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately, there is no tutorial. Arlo is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of strangers, possessing no armor, no weapons, and no knowledge of this world — and his paper-thin excuses for how he got there are growing thin. There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke. Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes his highest stat, Intelligence, and dumps everything into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and ask for more hot sauce? Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG set in an epic fantasy world rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered, featuring slow progression, intelligent characters who make intentional build choices, and real consequences.

BOC AU: Elder, But Younger Sister

CasualFarmer

A83/100
Once, Shen Bu destroyed everything his father had ever worked for — burning the new home to ashes, consuming his mother's cultivation, and slaying the unborn daughter within her. Three hundred years later, Shen Yu is still searching for anything to save that daughter's life, crippled and hidden in a realm where time is slowed to preserve her. No progress has been made. Feeling the weight of his quest, he returns to the city of his birth to drown his sorrows — and meets a boy who finally gives him hope. Waking up in the body of an eight-year-old kid dying of plague in a xianxia setting was not anyone's idea of a good time. The new inhabitant lacks a cheat or a system, but a chance meeting with an unremarkable middle-aged man who likes talking about medicine may prove more valuable than it seems.

Just Add Mana

SilverLinings

A83/100
The more lives you've lived, the more mana you have — and Cale has lived too many lives to count. His core is closer to the magical equivalent of a nuclear reactor. The downside: conventional spells have become impossibly difficult to cast, collapsing under the weight of his own magic. Then he finds himself summoned to a new world with a spellwork system capable of adjusting to his ridiculous reserves, creating new spells just for him. To make spells worth having, that means enrolling at a magic academy. On top of that, an old dragon has taken an interest in him, the kingdom's hunters seem intent on attacking his classmates, and at least one ancient evil appears to have followed him from a past life. With magic back on the table, Cale might finally achieve what he considers the true pinnacle of spellwork: baking.
