Draka

AvaritiaBona

C59/100
After a bad fall while exploring a cave, a young woman emerges to find herself and the world utterly transformed. She is now a dragon — claws, teeth, wings, tail, horns, and scales included — in a world filled with monsters that didn't exist before. She won't give up. She'll fight to live, to stay herself, and to grow her hoard. Because greed is good, and gold is everything. Draka is a story about making your own place in a world that fears you, featuring slow power progression based on greed and hoarding, a mix of adventure and slice-of-life, and a draconic main character struggling to hold on to her humanity.

Bloodstained Blade

It is a weapon made to feast on death and blood — the more bodies it leaves in its wake, the stronger it gets.

MADMAN APOCALYPSE

Dosei

C59/100
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.

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

RE Druin

C59/100
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.

Let's Not Obliterate: An OP MC Romance

Little Help

C59/100
For her entire life, the System's strongest heroine Theora has dreaded one inevitable task: wandering to the Zenith of the End to unseal the Ancient Evil and kill her. When she finally arrives to complete it, she finds the demon brimming with life and kindness. Dema, sealed for millennia, loves mischief and loves staying alive — so when a powerful hero breaks her prison, she manages to convince Theora to run off together instead. The two postpone the inevitable and set out to explore their vast world, defeat true evils, and enjoy true joys — bathing in lava, reviving fossils, making tea out of rocks, occasionally breaking reality and visiting other worlds in the process. But the clock is still ticking, even for immortals.

He's forced to spend his days in his small village, keeping his head down. When a monster attack turns his world upside down, Lugor seeks training at the Adventurer Academy, where he must contend against an arrogant mage determined to see him fail. With a steadfast Dwarven Elementalist and a sarcastic Dark-Elf Necromancer at his side, Lugor sets out to prove that being Half-Orc doesn't mean he can't be a hero.

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.

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.
