The Dungeon Shop

Chris Ford, Wolfe Locke

D40/100
Lumina has been running her item shop alone for years, watching her wares spoil or go out of style before customers ever try them. Everything changes when a new dungeon appears just outside of town. Strapping on the largest enchanted sack she can find, Lumina makes herself useful as a pack mule and dungeon merchant — selling potions and goods in the thick of adventure and danger. Being the first merchant inside a dungeon gives her a once-in-a-lifetime advantage. She will risk everything to follow her dream: to become the greatest merchant who ever lived.

Fair Quest

Kit Falbo

D40/100
Nate wants more to life than moving from town to town, hustling chess with his con-man grandfather or wagering pick-up games online. A new immersive game opens up the chance to bring in a steady paycheck — maybe enough to convince his grandfather to stay straight. Little does he know how his actions will change his life.

How I Became the Strongest Man in the Galaxy

bd90z

D40/100
Peter Brookes should be dead. Instead, he's been abducted by aliens, tasered awake by a condescending robot, and offered a chance to earn a place in a galaxy-wide battle royale watched by trillions. The rules to qualify are simple: grow stronger, reach the top of the leaderboard, and don't die. Given a cabin, a few tools, a stat system, and no useful skills whatsoever, Peter's solution is obvious: chop trees until reality breaks. Joined by a smug, talking arboreal observer, he ignores danger, takes absolutely nothing seriously, and accidentally becomes terrifyingly powerful. A comedic progression fantasy featuring steady growth, escalating nonsense, and a protagonist whose answer to life-or-death situations is usually, "How hard can it be?"

Stormborn Ascendant

K. H. Nulls

D39/100
They measure mana in drops. Tyler wields an ocean. Tyler Thorn worked all his life to rise above the hand he'd been given — his reward was constant agony and six figures of medical debt. Now humanity has been abducted to the multiverse, and he wakes in alien ruins, barely able to stand and surrounded by vicious monsters. He accepts a Curse just to survive, one that forever seals his magic within his body and renders most forms of power inaccessible to him. But the upside is an enormous mana pool. With a body that never tires, a mind that never dulls, and near-infinite magical energy coursing through his veins, Tyler will grow faster than the legends about him can form.

Earth had been destroyed by Devils, and as a result humans were transported to Paradise — a new world far vaster than their original planet, chaotic yet still a home. Then the cataclysm struck.

She enters the toughest realm available with no plan beyond leveling fast and getting rich. When she stumbles on an epic quest chain others have overlooked, she thinks she's struck gold. What she doesn't expect is to forge real friendships with two deadly warriors and one powerful creature — or to find a world boss gunning for them all.

Monsters, spells, skills, magical war crimes, and stats have become a reality. The world has changed, and Teresa has found a new lease on life — determined to try a little bit of everything the multiverse has to offer.

An older MC with plant-based magic steps back into the light, taking on the role of teacher to two otherworlders given a second chance. A story of political drama and light LitRPG elements set in a secondary world.

License to Cultivate

MTalon

D39/100
Chang-li may be a humble scribe, but he dreams of becoming a cultivator. When a ghost's legacy gives him a chance to follow that dream, he seizes it — defying the hidebound Empire and its vast array of rules and customs as he masters lux and perfects himself. But a cultivator needs more than just power. He needs a sect. What starts as a scheme to avoid punishment becomes far more as Chang-li and his friends find themselves reviving the ancient Sect of Morning Mist and its lost techniques. A slave can win his freedom. A princess can discard her upbringing. The sect offers a chance to claim what's forbidden — if they can avoid entangling marriages, official scrutiny, and the wrath of more powerful enemies. Cultivation with a tower-climbing twist. Character-driven and full of action and intrigue.

The Trickster's Tale

J. Pal

D39/100
Everyone wants to be the chosen one — the perks include overpowered abilities, world-breaking equipment, and an eager line of partners. But due to a goddess's clumsy meddling, a struggling musician named Perry ends up accidentally transmigrated alongside her true chosen one, with none of the above. Demanding a portal home wins him no respect. Instead, Perry finds himself thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and a wisecracking System. His courage earns him severely diminished proportions and a brand that cripples his combat potential. Nothing, however, can stand in the way of Perry's sheer will. If brute strength and arcane powers won't get him the justice he desires, bardic wit, musical talent, and creativity will.

She will scour ancient sunken ruins, face the dangers lurking in the depths of the sea, and perhaps one day grow to surpass even legend.

The Sorcerer's Saga

Rain Oxford

D38/100
In a world where sorcerers practice only dark magic and wizards practice only light, Ayden Dracre — youngest of seven sons in a family of notorious sorcerers — has a fundamental problem: he is very bad at being bad. Every spell meant to cause mayhem goes comically wrong. When his family finally loses patience, Ayden is given one chance to prove himself worthy of the sorcerer name: defeat the greatest wizard in all the lands. The catch is that he has no idea how to fight with magic — and no desire to hurt anyone. Surviving his quest will require the most unlikely allies imaginable.

D38/100
War rages across the continent as a foreign power sets foot on the soil of a beleaguered nation. Among those surviving on the fringes is the exiled youngest princess, Acacia Odofredus Krone — ill, forgotten, and living in destitute squalor after failing even as a low-ranking adventurer. At her side, a soul reborn from another world finds himself reincarnated as the powerful manifestation of an ancient prophecy: der Schwarze Ritter, the Black Knight. Together, the two face dire poverty, Acacia's fatal sickness, the looming threat of her noble bloodline, and a horrific war — fighting their way up from the lowest shadows toward something that feels like a life worth living.

Unbound Ascension – Coreless

Carcian

D38/100
When Earth is integrated into the Multiverse, humanity gains stats, skills, and magic — but only a select few are granted System Cores, becoming Core-bearers with a clear path to power. Cade Whitehollow, a burned-out, indebted postdoc who has just been fired, is not one of them. Thrown into a lethal Tutorial designed for Core-bearers, Cade must survive the brutal grind of becoming eligible to forge a Core of his own while others level, cast spells, and surge ahead. Monsters evolve. Humans turn on each other. And buried somewhere in the chaos of the Tutorial is an ancient path to power — one even the System cannot control.

A Destined Journey

Cathfach

D38/100
A lost soul drifting in the Void floats too close to a new universe and finds itself drawn in, bound to a new life, and reborn as a human. Born as Robin, with no memory of his alien heritage, he lives normally until unlock day — when the System informs him his soul is far from local, and that with his heritage comes magnified experience gain, the echo of everything that was lost. Potential can be a double-edged sword. Viewed as a valuable tool by his social superiors, Robin must protect his family and retain his freedom while walking a tightrope, particularly when the jealousy of others throws carefully laid plans into disarray. A slow-paced, crunchy LitRPG with a single male lead who works largely alone.

Project Chrysalis

John Gold

D38/100
Chrysalis is the project of the century: a hyper-realistic fantasy RPG where government orphans are placed in virtual families to receive the love and upbringing they never had. It's designed to mold children into healthy adults. Something went very wrong for twelve-year-old Anji. Instead of loving parents and simple lessons, he finds himself in Hell — performing bloody rituals, evading demons, and fighting to survive the nine circles of the game's most forsaken place. Betrayed for the sake of someone else's plan, he has nothing left but rage and the knowledge that the truth behind Project Chrysalis is far darker than anyone realizes.
