Arcane Pathfinder

Mashton XX, Mashton XY

B61/100
Samantha, a young attorney, is transported to an alternate reality in her sleep — a world governed by an all-powerful System with mechanics similar to the fantasy games she played back on Earth. After a brutal introduction to her new reality, Sam is granted a class explicitly curated by the enigmatic System. Equal parts artist, survivor, explorer, and battle junkie, her only limitation is her lack of knowledge about her new magical powers — a limitation she is rapidly overcoming. Follow Sam's adventures as she explores and battles her way across the fantastic and deadly world of Hallista.

I Ran Away to Evil

Mystic Neptune

B61/100
Henrietta Doryn has never enjoyed fighting. She'd rather be in the kitchen baking cookies. But it's her duty as Warrior Princess to face off against the forces of evil — so she's unceremoniously dispatched to eliminate the all-powerful Dark Lord next door. Keith Monfort has never enjoyed ruling with an iron fist. He'd prefer to tinker with practical magic in his workroom. So when Henrietta shows up at his door, he's only too happy to invite her in for tea to talk it out instead. Can this unlikely pair prevent war between their two kingdoms — and when will they finally admit their growing feelings for each other?

Archmage from Another World: Gaining Administrator Access

Etheric

B60/100
Transported into a world where just about anyone can receive the title of Mage, Morgana is baffled and outraged. She spent twenty-two years studying spell formulae and memorizing the forty-three Primary Astolian Paradigms — and here, power is just handed out? She doesn't know how she arrived, why everyone is so ignorant of magic's fundamentals, or what this strange System is. But she intends to find out. Dungeons, artifacts, classes, skills, and spells all seem to have been built using a language only Morgana recognizes — and hidden within those mechanisms may be something far bigger than arcane knowledge alone.

Ashlani's Reincarnation

No_Creative_Name

B60/100
As a soon-to-be chieftain, Ashlani's responsibilities were numerous, complex, and often boring. But as a recently reincarnated keelish — a reptilian pest — his responsibilities narrow to three: survive another day, keep his belly full, and kill anything that interferes with the first two. And, if the opportunity arises, take revenge on his best friend turned murderer. Ashlani was shot in the back by the man he was closest to during his inaugural hunt as chieftain-to-be. Post-mortem, he was greeted by a [System] and named the elect, singular keelish representative. Now his focus must be on continuous growth and evolution — to awaken to his grand potential and lead his new people into a new age.

The Cloudfarers

H.C. Mills

B60/100
These were the words Rylan Cloudgift had been waiting to hear all his life — his salvation and his escape from a mundane existence as an indentured servant on an island in the vast cloudsea. His quick way out of the debt he owed the Thistlethorns, the noble family that found him as a baby. So why did he wake up in a cell? Seeing no other choice, Rylan flees into the cloudsea with only the supplies he can grab on the way out and a mysterious note bearing a cryptic warning. His quest to find the sender and unravel the mystery of his birth will have to wait — friend and foe alike follow him into the fog, and none of them know the way out. The dense mist harbours hidden monstrosities and long-buried secrets.

B60/100
After learning he has just months to live, Gemini Fowler is granted one shot to cheat death when a billionaire game-developer offers to transfer his consciousness into a virtual realm.

The Apocalypse is a Side Quest

Liam Lawless

B60/100
Sometimes the best way to save the world is to ignore it completely. When the apocalypse hits, Nathan Lee accidentally dumps all his rare skill points into fishing. Humanity has been ripped from Earth and dropped into a colossal multidimensional dungeon — a nine-realm gauntlet straight out of a nightmare. Legends with sword and fireball are fighting to carve a path home. Nathan is busy maxing out his ability to sit quietly in a boat. Too bad the universe has other plans. On his first day in the tutorial, he accidentally deletes a monster from reality via a system bug, feeds a snail radishes and gets a rare skill, and somehow starts taking down ogres with his fishing rod. It turns out side quests and weak classes are more powerful than anyone expected.

Keeper of Totality

Infinityphoenix

B60/100
The death of the Hero reset the timeline — not what Lucy had intended when she made that last soul attack while dying. Returned to Earth, she attempts the obvious: use her knowledge of the future to dominate the System's five realms. Except things go wrong immediately. A Shard of Totality is now lodged in her eye, her Status is broken, and the Hero remembers everything — and has his own agenda involving her other identity, Adrianna Riftmire. She may be doomed. But as a master of soul magic and former Archmage, she is far from defenseless. This might just be her best chance to permanently defeat the Hero of Light, whose powers distort destiny to ensure his success.

Terminate the Other World!

Icalos

B60/100
NSLICE-00P — Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer — is an unstoppable killing machine built to destroy all who oppose her sinister masters. Everything runs according to plan until she's hacked and sent back in time to kill her own creator. She obeys. The resulting time paradox ejects her entirely from her reality. Now the cyborg finds herself in a world of skills and levels, in possession of a dungeon core, and with no one left to give her orders. NSLICE-00P has a whole new life ahead of her — if she can keep from blowing things up.

DIE TRYING

Mark Arrows

B60/100
Jump into a fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical loot and refugees back to Earth. Try not to die. Michael Wade's only goal in life was to get rich — and that's gotten a lot more literal recently. Stuck in retail hell and living paycheck to paycheck, his circumstances change dramatically when a desperate god offers him the ultimate side hustle: running a nightly smuggling operation between his bedroom and another world entirely. One filled with spells, treasure, and as much magical contraband as he can stuff into his pockets. There's a small problem: the band of heroes destined to save that world failed centuries ago, and the place has become a goddamn deathtrap. With a reality-bending video game System to exploit, years of min-maxing experience, and a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice, Michael might survive long enough to make the operation actually work.

The Most Overpowered Floofer

Angry Spider

B60/100
Petey, a Golden Retriever with a heart equally golden, was euthanized in a pound after over twelve years of bringing love to everyone he met. A few very powerful beings agreed this seemed unfair — and gave him a chance to live life to the fullest in another world, along with more than a few perks.

Blueprint for Immortality: a Crafting Xianxia

NoDragons

B60/100
Booker has woken up in the wrong body — one ruined by drug use, trapped in a dead-end life as the lowest possible apprentice in a massive sect. But that doesn't faze him. When he looks at the mountains, he sees a climb waiting. Better yet, he carries the assistance of a magical book that lets him craft any pill in existence perfectly — a skill alchemists would fight and die for. With his crafting skills, patient soul, and relentlessly upbeat attitude, Booker sets out to climb the first of many mountains. A slow-life xianxia with a focus on crafting and character-driven exploration of the genre's world and people.

The Anime Trope System

Syr456 AnimeFics

B60/100
Clyde is thrown into the anime world — a place that exists, humanity just doesn't know it — and declared the Stone, the main character. His mission: kill the Viper, or Earth is finished. This is the comedic tale of a young man versus cliche anime tropes, complete with random girls falling in love over nothing, yanderes, and leveling up just like in an RPG. The question is whether Clyde will find the true purpose of this cruel game — or be consumed by the tropes entirely.

Neophyte World Builder

ThePudding

B60/100
Nobody told him godhood needed an instruction manual. Reincarnated as the Administrator of a newborn universe, an ordinary man from Earth must design everything — physics, magic, plants, animals, and the rules that bind them — while ensuring the world generates the energy he needs to survive. The problem: every tweak he makes can cause unintended consequences. And sometimes, he has to live inside his own creation to experience the results of his choices.

Lone: The Wanderer

Lone

B60/100
A history teacher with familial trauma and a peculiar woman seemingly stuck out of time are thrust together into the weird and whimsical world of Altros — a planet with divides born of real superhuman strength, an odd ranking system, and natural species differences. Not ideal news for a Scottish history teacher whose ears have transformed into fox ones alongside nine new fluffy tails. Darren — or Lone, or whatever the strange system claims he's called — must figure out how to live with his new companion Sofia on a monster-infested island, alongside a self-proclaimed former immortal prone to bouts of extreme depression. At least there's an expansive LitRPG system to keep them entertained.

Things go sideways almost immediately when she awakens not one but two Bloodlines. As they merge, the Abyssal Kraken takes her first dive into the waters of her new world. Aqua must fight to survive in the ocean world of Oceana while navigating constant broadcast scrutiny — and occasionally stepping into the Alliance's entertainment industry through a System Phantom acting in her stead.

Ashley wakes up at the start of a System tutorial with no memories — only basic common knowledge and the blood of a primordial flowing through her veins. Her Skill Tree has just a single ability: to assimilate the skill trees of those she kills. As a Primordial System integrates every human on the planet, Gates open across the world and monsters pour out of broken domains. Ashley must navigate an apocalypse she knows nothing about, growing stronger only by assimilating the skills of the fallen — all while slowly recovering the emotions and memories she's lost.
