Magical Girl Gunslinger

Mikasane

S+91/100
When eldritch horrors called the Anathema began tearing through reality, aliens known as the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity by gifting chosen individuals with magic and advanced technology. Over twenty-one years later, the Magical Guardians are still hard at work — flashy, superhuman, and treated as idols of modern society. None of that matters much to Mai, whose biggest concerns are her family, classmates, and the creeping dread of her future. Magic and monsters may as well be daydreams — until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion. A dark magical-girl story with sci-fi elements and gradually introduced LitRPG mechanics.

She has to learn to live in the shadows, work outside the corporate system, and deal with the sundry characters — honorable and nefarious — inhabiting that world.

Guardian of Aster Fall

Then a dungeon exploration leaves Sam looking distinctly non-human. In a world of mana crystals, beast cores, spirit veins, and elemental storms, Sam must master rare and evolving classes and confront the forces threatening to break Aster Fall apart.

The Last Orellen

sieley

S89/100
According to prophecy, the ninth-born child of Lord Orellen will have the kind of power that changes the world. In a land ruled by magical families, no one welcomes that possibility. Fearful even of their allies, the Orellens devise an extraordinary and deadly scheme: if the most powerful people in the world wish to kill the ninth-born, they will have to find them first. Using dark magic, the Orellens create hundreds of heirs — each given new bodies, new names, and new magical talents — and scatter them across the continent. Only one is the real ninth, but all of them will grow up as fugitives. Kalen, once fated to die, is now an Orellen heir in hiding. He is determined to survive, even if he must master his strange new powers to do it.

It said they had centuries; the demons arrived in ten years. He had been counted among the strongest. It had all been for nothing. Witnessing Earth's end and dying, Nathan cast the only unique spell he'd ever found: Rebirth.

Unorthodox Farming

Benjamin Kerei

S89/100
Accidentally killed by a cleric during a botched resurrection in another universe, Arnold — a semi-pro gamer — wakes up on an altar to find himself inhabiting the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He's not the hero, the villain, or the chosen one. He's a clerical error. Now stuck in a new world with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to level his farmer class to 100 and earn a second class. The catch: farmers gain no experience from killing monsters. At all.

Changeling

Mecanimus

S89/100
Magic came to our world. Portals opened across the planet, releasing mana and dangerous monsters on the unsuspecting population. Wonder turned to horror. Society teetered on the brink of collapse until heroes rose to face the catastrophe — men and women who wielded mana to enter portal worlds, plundering their treasures and slaying beasts that bullets barely harmed. That was more than sixty years ago. Nestra was born without a core. In the new city of Threshold, baseline humans like her are being forced out of law enforcement. MaxSec is one of their last holdouts, and Nestra is one of its last members — but it cannot last. With Nestra addicted to mana and her job one of the only chances at getting close to portals, she is heading for disaster. Threshold is a city dominated by corporations and powerful users. It takes very little to become collateral damage — unless Nestra can finally figure out what's wrong with her.
