Monster Tamer Academy

Matt Herrmann, Robyn Wideman

D37/100
For 200 years, monsters have terrorized the wilds, and the only thing standing between humanity and chaos is Monster Tamers — warriors who bond with monsters to unlock magic, growing stronger alongside their partners. Orphaned by a wild monster attack as a child, Dirk has always dreamed of joining the Academy. After bonding with a quirky and mischievous monster, he starts near the bottom — but he's determined to reach the highest tiers. Something big is coming, a monster larger and deadlier than anyone can imagine, and Dirk may be the only one who can stop it.

D37/100
When demon-worshiping cultists summon Elania to their world to revive their dead god, a sudden attack sends her fleeing into Eladu's darkest depths. Amid savage predators and underground monsters, she discovers that her newfound abilities are both a formidable weapon and a haunting burden that threatens to reshape her very soul. Climbing toward civilization means contending with anti-demon sentiment and those who would use her as a source of arcane power. Elania is not alone, however — Yolani, an arcane artificer fighting her own battle, finds her fate inexplicably linked to Elania's. Together, they might just be the key to each other's survival.

The Legendary Poet

Nejm

D37/100
He needed a sword. The system gave him a pen. Klaid is a former kendo prodigy who treats VR as a ruthless economy, optimizing every second to pay for his mother's medical bills. On launch day, exploiting a lore paradox earns him the one class he can't solve: the Legendary Poet — a power-gamer's nightmare that runs entirely on emotion, the very thing Klaid discarded long ago. Now trapped between a dying mother in reality and a useless class in-game, Klaid must learn to feel again — not to heal, but to turn anguish into DPS. The narrative voice evolves alongside the protagonist as cold logic gives way to something more.

Goblin Summoner

Tracy Gregory

Joined by a fallen goddess, a deposed demon king, and a surly local, Gareth sets out into a realm where experience points and levels are very real. As he finds new cards and grows in power, the rumbles of war stir in the west — and if he's going to survive, he'll need to master his deck and find the strength hidden within his goblin allies.

How I Became the Strongest Man in the Galaxy

bd90z

D36/100
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?"

Li Hao is transmigrated into a Xianxia cultivation world and thrust into the life of a servant in the Azure Cloud Sect. He has the worst quality trash five-element spiritual roots — in any other's position, he'd be chopping wood and eating inferior pills for the rest of his life. However, he binds with a system that can upgrade everything. A burnt, poisonous pill? One upgrade away from a priceless Marrow Cleansing Elixir. An old cracked butter knife? A few upgrades from a blade that slices through Demonic Serpent Scales. With his upgrade ability, Li Hao climbs through a world of sects, clans, and royal dynasties in constant war — accumulating magic items, spirit stones, and wealth along the way.
