The Acts of Androkles

Ryan English

B74/100
A retired veteran from the world's greatest army, Androkles spent twenty-five years fighting to earn back his good name. Battle-scarred and weary, he finally has his chance to retire in peace — until his wife flees north with all his hard-won savings. Pursuing her through dangerous lands filled with bandits and ravening beasts, Androkles rescues a pair of orphans from starvation. Caring for them forces him to confront a question that strikes at the very heart of honor — one with consequences far greater than his own life. The trilogy follows Androkles across three complete novels: Obstacles, Doubts, and Burdens.

Dream Park

Larry Niven

B74/100
Dream Park is a futuristic fantasy theme park where players experience live-action role-playing campaigns enhanced by holograms, actors, and cutting-edge VR technology — as close to truly living an adventure as technology allows.

Park security chief Alex Griffin must join the campaign to find the killer — and finds unexpected meaning in the games he helps protect.

Hope

sarvashaktimaan

B74/100
The Aspects are long dead — the venerated creators of reality are no more. Yet the final scheme of their slayer, the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer throughout the eons. The last Hope is a desperate gamble: for one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

A Dream of Wings & Flame

Cocop (Cale Plamann)

B74/100
Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves. Most have made peace with their lot — eating scraps and hiding from predators, delaying the inevitable. But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other kobold pups. The blood of dragons pumps through his veins, and he isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains — predator rather than prey. Nothing, be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or the almost insurmountable difficulty of evolving his bloodline, is going to stop him.

Law of the Jungle

Vasily Mahanenko

B73/100
Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but shapes the lives of men. Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality — yet this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental truth: power grants privilege. What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world? Is it his destiny to reach unimaginable heights, or to vanish into the abyss of mediocrity — just another forgotten face in a crowd of millions?

RealRPG

Marc Whipple

B73/100
Eight internet friends meet in person for the first time at a mountain cabin — and instead of a long weekend get-together, they're caught up in the end of the world. Strange messages float in the air announcing a "System Start." Now magic works and technology doesn't. Cell phones won't work, cars won't start, and it's ten miles to the nearest town. Some of them have families to worry about. Some don't even believe this is real. All of them have secrets they'll have to overcome if they're going to work together and make it back to town alive. Ten miles doesn't seem that far — but by the end of it, they'll have faced some of the worst the System can throw at them. And then things really get interesting.

Will of The Force (Star Wars / Worm)

Capitao Caverna

B73/100
Darth Vader dies in the arms of his son, having killed his master and returned to the light side of the Force. Then he wakes up on a primitive planet that hasn't yet achieved interstellar travel — where the government is corrupt, the heroes are ineffective, and the city is dominated by a gang called the Empire 88 and another that practices slavery. He wants to be better, he wants to overcome his past, but the city isn't making it easy. Sometimes, a former Sith Lord just wants to force choke someone.

Deadman

Seersucker

B73/100
Even after the bombs fell, after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagining on one another, after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the protagonist is uniquely suited to deliver it. Rads don't bother him, and people who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. Sure, humans may not like dealing with a face like his, but you can't beat his express rates. A dystopian LitRPG in the vein of Fallout and The Postman.

Atzi

Emmideer

B73/100
Atzi is the worst person to be stuck in a time loop. A lowly lizard thief living in a decrepit shack, she's easily distracted, talentless, and lonely — and would do anything for the easy life, except work hard. When she ends up in a time loop, it seems like the perfect chance to cheat her way into everything she's ever dreamed of. Too bad she must contend with selfish gods at war, mad mages casting apocalyptic spells, skeletons, demons, and a hole in the sky. The world is destroyed again and again — and all she really wants to know is why she's the one stuck in the loop.

Ten Thousand Fleets

David Niemitz (M0rph3u5)

B73/100
Arc Sandhurst will become a mech pilot, even if it kills him. After his sister's ship is destroyed by the Pirate Queen of Nepenthe with all hands lost, Arc enters the Imperial Mech Academy on the deathworld Vidako to get revenge — the only path available to the son of a silk-worker who needs the academy's enhancements just to pilot a mech. First he must survive disagreeable roommates, hazing from upperclassmen, the friendship of an imperial princess, and the steaming jungles of Vidako. But the Imperium Stellarum will need every good pilot it can get — because empires are built on a foundation of blood, and the sins of the first emperors are about to come due. Lost fleets lurk on the edge of known space, the ruins of ancient races are spread across long-dead worlds, and enemies thought defeated are gathering their strength once more.

Prototype

Jez Cajiao

B73/100
Ajax is one of Earth's most elite Paladin pilots, trusted to fly the most advanced starfighters humanity ever produced. Wounded and abandoned behind enemy lines, his carrier has fallen back and he's parachuting down onto an alien world with a broken arm, no ship, no weapons, and only hazy memories after losing them to the purge. He knows they'll return — and they'll treat this world to the same kind of plasma bombardment the elves inflicted on Mother Earth. Getting back into orbit is going to be a hell of a fight. But he'll do it, or he'll die trying. They say humanity is only three meals from going feral. It's time the rest of the galaxy found out just how true that is.

What begins as a job becomes a fight for survival — and something more — as the game's competing AIs wage a war with stakes that extend far beyond the virtual world.

Deep under the calm water of a Caribbean lagoon, salvage diver David Moore discovers a sunken Nazi U-boat entombed in the sand — a mysterious relic from the last war, its crew long-dead and mummified for eternity.

Love, Life, and Lycanthropy!

radishrabbit

B73/100
When Emily Smith's life was cut short by a nuclear war, something — or perhaps someone — decided that what happened to her was unjust and gave her another chance. Her new world offers more than a fresh start, though: she faces a choice between vengeance and peace, and she's also a werewolf now. Her choice, at least to her, was obvious. But its consequences will be far-reaching and profound for the world she now calls home.
