Gennon Asche

A75/100

The story starts brutally grim and transitions into technology uplift with a focus on science, magitech, and town building.

Mirror World

Alexey Osadchuk

In a game built for heroes, Oleg is just a man trying to save his child's life.

In the Ranger's Shadow (Pokemon)

Mirthful Machine

A75/100
Charlie had a stable job and wasn't what he himself would call happy — but he wouldn't complain. He was fully expecting to continue his career until retirement. Then he died, in his own home, in his own bed. Now with far more arms and a strange relationship with gravity, Charlie finds himself in Almia — a place he has never heard of. Not quite alive again and in a world he hadn't thought of in more than a decade, he is not sure what to make of it all. But if he has never heard of Almia, that means nothing bad happens there, right? A Pokemon fanfiction based loosely around the Ranger series.

Shades Of Forever

Loate

A75/100
Sky Memoriam is one of the last surviving humans on an Earth ravaged by cataclysm thousands of years ago. In an isolated valley, the remnants of humanity scratch a living from what little nature remains — life is hard, but peaceful, and Sky's days are filled with preparations to assume a role of responsibility. That's what Sky thinks, anyway. When a spaceship from the broader galactic community carrying a modified combat AI designed to interface between humans and Things That Are Better Off Not Thought Of crashes outside Sky's village, life starts getting weird. Also violent. An eldritch punk / horror comedy with light progression elements — numbers go up, but they are not the main focus.

Discount Dan

Shadow Alley Press

A75/100
All Dan wants is to find a way home. He'd settle for a beer, a bite to eat, and a place to sleep off his hangover. But Dan has accidentally noclipped into the Backrooms — a bizarre, extra-dimensional world cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned asylums, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as Dwellers. No one ever gets out. If Dan wants to survive the week, he'll need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own. He's also being hunted. The Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death, and no one walks away from the Skinless Court with their hide intact.

Edge Cases

SilverLinings

A75/100
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them — what even are all these errors? A team of outcasts and adventurers must rely on their trust in each other — and the bane of all stories, healthy communication — just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. They're quickly realizing that not all is as it seems, and the system is doing something to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. Their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better.

Godclads

OstensibleMammal

The gods were the enemy — slavers who chained humanity. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to ascend. Instead, they nearly destroyed the world. Vast hive cities now serve as the final bastions against a crumbling reality, and within the greatest of them, New Vultun, ascenders wage war to determine the very laws of existence. Avo was born a weapon — a slave to his instincts and his masters, made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when he gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy. To free the world from its chains, he must ascend the megacity and challenge the tyrants who usurped the gods.

Zendran

Then the Coreless found them and tried to steal his creator away. With no other option, Paradox swallowed the Great Core. Only then did he begin to become what he was always meant to be.

Blessed by Death: An Archmage's Second Life

euterpe

A75/100
Levi was once the servant of Death itself, spending years eliminating arcane threats to the world. His final task carried a terrible cost, and he retired to a life of solitude — until Death returns not to reap his soul, but to offer a blessing: reincarnation into another world where no one knows his name. Levi accepts, only to awaken in the body of a disgraced noble son, disinherited and on the verge of expulsion from the Institute of Ascension. Death apparently left some things out. He's fine with that. Let the nobles sneer. He's an archmage — so long as he has his magic, he can take on anything. He's been gifted a whole new life, and this time, he intends to live it as an adventure.
