Character Development

Aaron Jay

B60/100
Miles Boone is finally an adult and able to roll up his permanent character in a world where feral AIs and nanomachines have overrun most of the planet, and playing the Game is survival itself. But the Game is rigged against anyone who isn't a member of the Party. A desperate bid to earn a fair chance lands Miles at the mercy of his family's enemies — his freedom and life riding on winning a bet. His enemies have broken his character and stripped his luck stat. How do you play a game without any luck? Miles must outplay corrupt GameMasters, a scheming Party, and the game itself — because his father always said it's how you play that matters.

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.

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.

Angry Spider

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.

Acaswell

When Isabelle and her new friends are thrust into the world of transmigrators, it seems like a blessing. Their new status grants them access to the myriad worlds of the multiverse, the ability to grow stronger, and near-immortality — as long as they don't make a fatal mistake. Every world offers unique magic systems and discoveries. But between each life, they must return to the Market — once the most powerful civilization in the multiverse, now a desiccated ruin with its inhabitants slaughtered by unknown forces. If Isabelle and her friends wish to avoid the same fate, they must grow powerful enough to survive whatever destroyed it.

Alpha

Arthur Stone

True Smithing

Jared Mandani

C59/100
Angus Bjornson only ever wanted to craft exquisite weapons and armor. After an accident leaves him completely disabled, his children offer him a virtual rig connected to a fantasy world called Alterwelt. Playing on Manual mode rather than Auto, Angus — now known as Hephaestus — can use his lifetime of real smithing experience to create unique items that beat anything on the market. But he soon learns there's a reason the market is flooded with crappy goods: a greedy guild enforces a monopoly on crafting, and they'll do anything to shut down a lone blacksmith cutting into their profits.

Yashima Chronicles

jacobk

C59/100
The island nation of Yashima is in chaos. Armies march to war, pitting cousin against cousin for power. Sword saints grow deadlier with every battle even as muskets flood the country and transform the average soldier into a lethal threat. One woman towers over the era. Known as the blood-soaked flower of the battlefield, it is said that to see her is to risk madness, and to fight her is to die. Some claim she draws her power from the blood of vanquished foes. Listening to the rumors, the narrator can't help but feel that a plan to secure a comfortable administrative post has somehow gone awry.

Dungeon's Path

akhier the dragon hearted

C59/100
So the world ended. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced. Not this time — all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale. The local universe wasn't actually stable; what everyone took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake, and when the dam busted, so did everything. Magic is real, qi is real, gods are real — not on old Earth, but souls pay little attention to time and space, so humanity dreamed of it. The closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer those dreams got to the new reality. Reality became a video game. And Doyle Huxley became a dungeon. Doyle just wanted a normal life, but some early paths he takes — both literally and figuratively — lead him to becoming a dungeon core. This is his story.

Path of the Last Champion

TheWanderingWind

C59/100
Nar was born in darkness and was meant to die there — a slave, shackled by a sin long forgotten, doomed to a life beneath the surface. His eyes were never meant to see the Infinite Nexus or the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System. But he made the choice few sinners dare: to Climb. Now he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, conceal a secret that could destroy his party, and achieve the impossible to save his dying father. With every step toward the City Without End, Nar unknowingly draws to a close a play that has spanned eternities — and no one is expecting him.

Hunter Mythos

C59/100
Jay Luckrun has many interests: street dancing, anime, action movies, comedy, and dashing across rooftops. But after a failed attempt to talk to his crush at her birthday party, he adds dungeon crawling to the list — because the Apocalypse has arrived. A divine creature chooses Jay to become a Champion, granting him a leveling System, stats, Skills, access to dungeon dimensions, and gravity powers that can alter reality. The downside: global assassins want Jay and other Champions dead, and monsters are hungry to break free from their dungeons and raze his world.

When an enigmatic artifact capable of sending one person through time falls into his hands, Jacob takes the plunge into the past of Pyresouls itself — armed with knowledge of game mechanics, secret loot, and well-honed swordsmanship.

Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his-luck performer who never wanted to be a hero. Then he pisses off the wrong person and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair, surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, elf assassins, and a System AI that seems more interested in causing mischief than helping. Gifted a mysterious ancient lute after a questionable deal with a Hag, Danny becomes the target of factions seeking its power. Together with his AI companion Screenie and his new barbarian friend Curr, Danny must uncover the truth — and maybe find the place where he finally belongs.
