That Which Devours

jerpatch

C59/100
Alex thought a colony ship crashing into a dinosaur-infested jungle was bad enough. Everyone else received a class from the mysterious System ruling this brutal universe — but Alex's Class Selection never arrives. To top it off, a meteor shower forces down the supply shuttle, leaving her and her brother stranded with food running out. Just when all hope seems lost, it finally happens: Class Selection. And with it, a Legendary Class: Devourer. But what the heck is a Devourer, and why does this power feel so ravenous — making her brother smell less like family and more like a tasty meal? Alex embarks on a perilous trek through the wilderness to reach the compound for supplies. As the dinosaurs close in with her brother's life hanging in the balance, she must master abilities she barely understands or succumb to a world that feeds on the weak.

Netherwitch

Xylix

C59/100
When Eric Swallow received his first quest from the System, he certainly did not expect to end up in the netherworld — or to become a witch called Sylvia. Now stuck as a girl, she must adapt as a student of the Starlight Nether Witch Academy. But she will not remain there for long. The System's creator has a scheme that will inevitably break the post-war peace that followed Ragnarok, and as a bearer of the System, Sylvia will have no choice but to dive into Hell's darkest corners and its highest society — all while building a safe place for herself and the "gamers" who follow. Features politics, economics, kingdom building, soul cultivation, a complex magic system, and a slow-burn romance.

Unfortunately, as one of the survivors with the strongest powers, she will have to get involved in the developing situation before others do it for her.

Listening to the rumors, the narrator can't help but feel that a plan to secure a comfortable administrative post has somehow gone awry.

Character Development

Aaron Jay

C58/100
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.

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?

How to Succeed in Monster Farming

Kenny King

C58/100
Nick was just your average overworked accountant — until he got isekai'd and then immediately rejected for lacking hero potential. Instead of a prophecy or a sword, he's given a rundown farm in a cursed wasteland where seventeen previous owners died horribly. Nick isn't as helpless as he looks. With mysterious strength, an eye for optimization, and a knack for flipping curses into perks, he starts rebuilding Blackthorn Farm from the ground up — monster livestock, magical crops, and an eclectic crew including a former elven slave turned manager, killer birds, and a shape-shifting dragon named Petunia. As his power grows, the farm draws attention from forces that might not be entirely mortal.

Respawn

Arthur Stone

C58/100
You are no one. Level zero. Empty of mind and memory — your past stripped by the inscrutable System. A long, difficult road lies between you and remembering who you are, punctuated by one death after another. In the world of S.T.Y.X., information is your only resource, but those with experience rarely care about your plight — and some make it their mission to kill you. Your life counter ticks lower with every death, and no one knows what happens when it reaches zero. The luckiest players are the cheaters. Perhaps cheating is the only way to win.

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future

RE Druin

C58/100
Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage invented a video game to train people on Earth for a coming catastrophe. The gods seized the opportunity to take the templates — and even the souls — of some of those characters for use in other worlds. Sama Rantha is one of those characters. Being a Hagchild and surviving after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your race at level one on a gamescreen. Book One follows Sama's Road to Ten in a traditional LitRPG fantasy setting, heavy with gaming terms and rules-lawyering as she min-maxes her heart out to survive a world intent on killing her. Book Two shifts to a sci-fi/fantasy/psionics mashup as Sama is sent into a grim dark galaxy she'd rather not be in — but the heart of a powergamer never says no.

She was the world's greatest assassin — a silent threat, the cause of a hundred mysterious deaths, all to feed her cats and pay her rent. And then she died. The last thing she expected was to be reborn as a harmless kitten in the hands of a very strange girl. Now tasked with mentoring the girl in the arts of assassination, Caroline Daniels (now known as the fearsome Queen Violence Von Ragamuffin) has to figure out how to mother an idiot while weighing as much as half a loaf of soggy bread. A lighthearted cyberpunk romp featuring cat shenanigans, found family, a soft progression system, and naps.

Respec On Death

Godric

C58/100
Fifteen years after Earth was forced into the Sarlenac Games, over half of the population is gone, culled by the System without mercy. Each year, thousands of Gates open to hostile worlds — fail to clear them in time, and ten percent of Earth's population dies. Specialist Jimmy Novak is a low-level combat medic with nothing to his name but scars, sarcasm, and a refusal to quit. When a routine Gate spirals into catastrophe, Jimmy makes a choice the System never accounted for, and something older than the System takes notice. [Skill Activated: Respec on Death.] With each death, Jimmy changes — new class, new build, new tools for survival. But the cost is steep, and the enemy is no longer just monsters. The System is watching. The gods are stirring. And Jimmy Novak is becoming something far more dangerous.

MADMAN APOCALYPSE

Dosei

C58/100
The whole world has gone mad, so it's a good thing that Gambit is already insane. Locked away in a padded room, Gambit watches as the world goes to hell — blood rains from the sky, screams echo through the city, and monsters tear through reality. The world transforms overnight into the GREAT GAME: an apocalyptic battleground where monsters hunt, dungeons materialize, and the System destroys everything humanity once knew, all for the entertainment of an unseen audience. Armed with nothing but his fists, a talking plushie named Panda, and a glitched character Class that shouldn't exist, Gambit fights his way out of the asylum. But his existence triggers alerts across the GREAT GAME, drawing the attention of its agents who hunt players that don't follow the rules. In a world where insanity transforms humans into the very monsters they fear, Gambit's fractured mind becomes his deadliest weapon.
