Emperor of the Source

Ashwinpk

F12/100
Adrian Blackwood awakened to an affinity no one believed possible — not Space, not Time, but the Source: the origin of all powers. While others train for years to master a single element, Adrian devours them all: lightning, fire, gravity, even life, death, and time. Yet power alone cannot save a world drowning in endless waves of monsters, not when even S-rank commanders bleed on the battlefield. To protect humanity, Adrian will break every limit. To protect those he loves, he will shatter the very rules of existence. He will not be a weapon. He will rule the Source as its Emperor.

Chained Lord

Octagonal Corgi (J.T. Revell)

F12/100
No sane person would choose Apocalypse Difficulty. For Rowan, it was his only option. Forced into the hardest possible Tutorial, he finds himself poisoned and trapped in caves deep below the surface. Every waking second is a fight for survival, clawing toward safety one kill at a time. Deep in the caves, he stumbles upon a set of ancient chains that grant him a class — not enough to make things easy, but possibly enough to survive. For Rowan, Apocalypse Difficulty isn't just a source of death and fear. It's an opportunity to break free from his old life and seize real power.

Royal Princess of Blood

Tearing Sanctuary

F12/100
She died with a dagger in her heart — and woke up in a different body, in a different world, addressed as "Princess." In this new life, she plays the role of a pure, innocent, fragile princess who must be protected at all costs. That is the act. Beneath it, she is anything but. She had hoped for a quiet, peaceful new life as a beloved royal, but threats lurk around her that demand she act — and reveal just how far from fragile she really is.

The Exchange Teacher

shoemilk

F12/100
Centuries after collapse, humanity is rebuilding. Basque, a renowned hunter-turned-teacher, arrives at a city-state as an ambassador expecting to observe classes for six months. Days before school starts, his mission changes: he must teach — for five years. His class is filled with legally required, unwanted commoners in a school built for nobility. The administration wants him gone, his coworkers find hazing the new teacher more entertaining than actual teaching, and the retention rate is a body count. Balancing his mandate to observe, his directive to teach, and his personal imperative that every student survive puts Basque at odds with a school where the teaching methods leave him horrified. Book 1 examines how an insider and an outsider experience a rigid authoritarian society differently, told through two main points of view, with found-family elements and a romance subplot woven throughout.

Ascendancy

Kessedi

F12/100
In a world where every action is watched, every thought is recorded, and every step is calculated, survival is earned. Merit is power. Merit is life. Merit is the only path to ascend. Kael Arden was born in a remote frontier village and expected nothing more than an ordinary life. Through a series of choices he gains merit and is thrust into a world far larger and more dangerous than he ever imagined — one of evolving monsters, hidden civilizations, imperial academies, and wars fought for power beyond human understanding. With no special bloodline or legendary inheritance, Kael climbs the ranks through ingenuity, perseverance, and the refusal to abandon those around him. As kingdoms prepare for war and ancient forces stir, he discovers that ascension is his greatest chance to matter.

Mark Stevens wants to become a Tanner. Everyone he knows is a Tanner. It isn't much, but it is stable.

Unable to risk his family's hard-earned stability, Mark runs for his life. He knows what it means to carry such power; Golden Classers are paraded as hunting trophies and publicly beheaded in the capital. Now he must learn without a tutorial, dodge Royal Knights, figure out how to control an ocean of mana, fight dragons, defeat ancient horrors, and maybe find a wife.

As she journeys across vast landscapes and through tangled webs of politics and ambition, one question remains — what kind of role will she choose to play in a world that demands so much?

Trials of the Jötunn

Deacon Surtr Hayes stands on the cusp of graduating from the Academy, ready to claim his Tier 1 Class and ascend the Tower. Then he wakes up hours before receiving his Class and discovers that his father is alive — and that he isn't even human.

Forged by the Elements

Rohano

F11/100
When the System rewrites reality, humanity is bound to elemental Essences tied to their very souls. Most awaken one. Leo awakens six. Given the freedom to choose his path, Leo embraces a class built around close-range combat — a style that demands commitment, control, and a bit of stupid courage. Dropped into a vast tutorial city with no safety nets, monsters stalk the streets, danger hides behind friendly faces, and every decision carries weight. Leo isn't driven by dominance. When violence breaks out, he's the one who steps in. Surviving the tutorial is only the first step.

Samurai Chef

Ronin Writes

F10/100
An outworlder with two cores, a Michelin star, and a new reality separating him from everything he has worked for. After a lifetime of grueling discipline, reaching fifth Dan, and finally turning his solo shop into New York's most recent Michelin-starred restaurant, Ren was ready to reap the rewards. Then he fell into a back-alley portal. Now stuck in Valdoris — a completely foreign reality featuring sprawling cities, near-divine beings, mana planes, and enough magical bureaucracy to drive a person insane — he must fight, cook, and butcher hordes of dark monsters to survive. Armed with two newly awakened cores, the ability to cook divine boons, and godlike sword powers, his journey is singular: do whatever it takes to find a way back home.

Mysteries of Sacra

Robert Wolf

F10/100
One moment, Kai was an ordinary teenager on Earth. The next, he is torn into Sacra — a savage realm ruled by spirit beasts, ancient mana, and fallen gods. Alone, untrained, and relentlessly hunted, his only goal is survival. When he saves a dying beast and kills a deadly predator, everything changes. He discovers a terrifying power: the ability to absorb the souls of his enemies and claim their skills as his own. Each soul strengthens him, but also warps him, as their memories claw at his mind and threaten to consume what is left of the boy he once was. With companions Umbra and Scry as his anchors, Kai must decide who he wants to be — and what he is willing to sacrifice — to escape Sacra and return home.

A Pioneer's Blood

Steve Rock

F9/100
The Galaxy has finally learned peace. The Akaadi Imperium and Libera Coalition have turned to the Frontier to replenish their resources — and for that, they need Pioneers: people dropped into remote, inhospitable worlds to hunt for valuable salvage, lost technologies, and unique lifeforms at grave peril. Daniel Hardgrave had always been warned never to become a Pioneer. He listened — until he learned he had a little sister to take care of. Wanting to fund her education, he enlisted, and unknowingly threw himself into the maw of the Apocalypse. Old powers are gathering, threatening everything Hardgrave has ever known. But his timely discovery of an ancient technology could change all of that.

Of Rantings and Ramblings

F9/100
Reggie was not an important person — quite the opposite. He was the town lunatic, hated by all and less than an afterthought to the elves ruling over his people. That changed when he was killed to keep a secret, and his death didn't stick. Returning from the grave as a vampire, he scrambles to stay fed and alive while making sense of his new place in the world. But the fear of dying again quickly becomes secondary. It will take all of Reggie's will to maintain his humanity in a world that already thinks he's lost it.

The Broken Arcanist

Aleth08

F9/100
The guild ruled Thorin ineligible. The crystal confirmed it. With no path through the official system, his only option is an illegal branding — and affinities so weak that brute force is never on the table. Every fight is a calculation. Every mistake costs time he doesn't have. With his cousins Clay and Quin at his back, Thorin learns to weaponise broken power through planning, restraint, and hard decisions. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants control — and to reclaim what his name once stood for, whatever it takes. A cultivation-LitRPG blend inspired by Warlock of the Magus World and Reverend Insanity.

That Time I Was Reincarnated into Another World as a Genius Supreme Archmage

Noelle Falkenhorst

F8/100
Kazuma Takahashi, a 32-year-old corporate slave, dies after a gaming marathon and wakes up as a newborn in a fantasy world where magic determines social status. Reborn with all his memories intact, he quickly realizes his adult mind gives him an edge — except he is born with an embarrassingly tiny mana pool, making him worthless by this world's standards. Rather than despair, Kazuma (now named Cid Arnett) uses knowledge, shamelessness, and a complete lack of moral scruples to game the system and claw toward power. His journey from magically impotent baby to legendary mage is paved with schemes and hilarious misunderstandings.

A Dungeon That Kills

Hitenma

F8/100
Viktor had been called many names: the Impaler, the Tyrant, the Dark Emperor. He carved out an empire across an entire world, bringing kingdoms to their knees — until the Six Heroes slew him, stole his power, and divided it among themselves. Three hundred years later, Viktor awakens in the body of a young boy named Quinn to find his castle in ruins, his capital razed, and the once-prosperous Central Plains a wild land ruled by trees and beasts. The only thing he finds among the rubble is a small, underdeveloped Dungeon Core. With that fledgling Core as his only ally, he sets out to exact vengeance on the Six Heroes' descendants and reclaim what is rightfully his.

The Dragonmancer Returns

Bertt

F8/100
The slaying of a dragon was meant to end his adventures. Instead, it was just the beginning of his own draconic journey. Meriel, a young and talented mage, had everything: a beloved partner, a delver party who became family, and a place among history's most prominent mages. There was just one last thing to do — slay the dragon at the heart of the most dangerous dungeon in the Lavarza kingdom. He didn't disappoint. But then everything went wrong. Betrayed, he is sealed away for decades in an inescapable magical stasis, with only the memory of that magnificent dragon for company. In that bubble, he crafts and builds. When the bubble finally bursts, Meriel finds himself in a completely different era. The magic academy has forgotten how magic works, the kingdom faces threats from all sides, and powerful beasts thought long banished are waking again. Thankfully, Meriel has his new Dragon-Crafting spells — and the knowledge to build a defence from the ground up.
