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.

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.

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.

The Cloudfarers

H.C. Mills

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.

Keeper of Totality

Infinityphoenix

C58/100
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.
