ISEKAI EXORCIST

Dosei

C54/100
After flunking his university entrance exam, Temaru Ryūta becomes a shut-in preparing for next year's attempt — until one summer day he is inexplicably transported to another world where people like him are expected to become Adventurers. To make matters worse, he is assigned the role of Exorcist, the most dangerous of all Adventurer roles. Ryūta reluctantly becomes the apprentice of a suspicious older Exorcist who proves to be a ruthless teacher. His new career is fraught with terrifying monsters drawn from real folktales and myths, uneasy pacts with supernatural entities, and corrupted Exorcists who have become part of the darkness they were meant to fight. A character-driven narrative with slow-burn progression, in-depth relationships, and mysteries the MC must learn to solve.

Apocalypse Arena

JPwrites

C53/100
The stronger his opponent, the harder Nil hits. Saving an innocent from a drug-crazed superhuman should have left him broken — instead it wins the Nexus's attention and an opportunity to make a difference. Nil is done feeling small and watching his family scrape by. Apocalypse Arena holds the key: a multiverse-spanning battleground where champions fight to keep the Scourge at bay. Pain, death, and heartbreak await all who run the gauntlets — but Nil has what it takes to grapple his way to the top. The multiverse is watching. He'll give them a show.

Godfather's System

Agoraphobic Dragon

C53/100
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless. But when the choice was between that and death, he was willing to take the deal. Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.

The VRMMO Hell's Wonderland Online has been out for years, but so many secrets still exist within the game. Vorpalia joins as a Lesser Drake, hoping to one day become a dragon. Things are going as well as they can for a monster player — until she gains a strange unique skill that has her questioning the very nature of the game itself.

But what is a dragon girl to do when her favorite game pulls her in for real, while everyone else still thinks it's just a game?

The Dark Summoner

Andrei Tkachev

C53/100
When you're the sole surviving noble of a junior lineage, don't expect much of a future — or so some might think. Not Gregor. The way he sees it, being the last of a line means he can dispense with social niceties and do exactly what he wants. And if any unwelcome visitors have a problem with that, this summoner's got one or two surprises for them.

FFO

Rachel Aaron

C53/100
In the real world, Tina Anderson is invisible and under-appreciated, but in the VR game Forever Fantasy Online she's Roxxy — the respected leader of a top-tier raiding guild. Her brother James is a college drop-out struggling with debt, but in FFO he's famous for completing every quest and collecting the rarest items. When FFO becomes real, wounds stop being virtual, monsters turn cunning, and death might be forever. Separated across a much larger and deadlier world, their only advantage is the skill they spent years building in the game.

Nero Walker

Leetle Sheet

C53/100
Nero has been transported to a world built on fantasy instead of physics — a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation, with competent administration and opinions based on rational argument. He's not prepared for any of it. While the world is big and full of characters, Nero would mostly prefer to ignore what's going on around him and focus on learning magic. Allies will assist him and mentors will guide him, but the leveling system he keeps trying to avoid turns out to be far more complex than it first appears. A slow-burn story following an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold, forced to grow up by circumstance and the people around him.

Dragon Core: The Dragon-Girl Evolution & Princess-Collecting Dungeon Core Isekai

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C53/100
Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

Rigged

human-type-1

C53/100
Life has always been a battle — but for some people that is especially true. Not everyone can take living another day for granted. And that was before the world started ending. Now that the [Trial] is here and everything is going up in flames, life is not getting easier. Trapped in the [Trial], John is faced with a painful reality: if he wants to live, he has no choice but to climb. And if he wants to survive long-term, he needs to keep climbing — even if that means heading directly into danger.

The Turning

Kenny King

C53/100
About four weeks ago the world simply turned. One day: iPhones, Mickey Mouse, hamburgers. The next: magic and monsters. And humans became players — with levels, items, and classes. Pretty ironic considering how many times parents told their kids to quit gaming and experience real life. Then real life grabbed everyone by the throat, and it was the gamers who were prepared. A story about a guy, his best friend, a loyal golden retriever, a little girl, and her beloved cat — plus copious amounts of gore, legendary weapons, and a lich king who needed slaying.

Legends of Arenia

PA_Parsons

C53/100
The Sullivans are a normal family — until the walls of their home disappear on Thanksgiving and they are transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential. Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn't mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Too bad he already faked their deaths. Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness, armed only with their Tomes — books containing all of their skills, accomplishments, and quests — the family must discover a strength they never knew they had if they're going to survive long enough to find each other.

C53/100
A failed sci-fi writer and gamer, Oliver was a normal guy until the night a beautiful psychic shifter named Grace appeared on his doorstep — and a second superpowered woman showed up to kill them both. The Cherry Blossom Girls is an urban superhero series blending harem, LitRPG humor and stats, telepathic and vampiric powers, government conspiracies, and a healthy dose of metafiction.

Vasily Mahanenko

Surviving in a game world is easy — until the game is your real life, your enemies want you dead, and your own class couldn't care less about your survival. Paladin Yaropolk must navigate a world where pragmatism and personal gain are the only currencies that matter, wrestling with whether to become like everyone else or hold onto something more.

Veos, The Story of a Dungeon

V_Storm

C53/100
A new Dungeon comes into being beneath the ground of Nerian-Silex. Following its strange instincts and system, it expands, grows, and tests those who enter its domain. Yet something about this Dungeon is different — something it doesn't know itself, yet instantly noticeable to those beyond its border. That strangeness may be the key to breaking through the barrier of nine, or the spark that ignites a continent-spanning war. For now, though, it is busy carving out an underground castle and has little time to listen to the cacophony overhead.

The Spellforged Magus

Xiphias

C53/100
The world didn't end with fire or ice. It ended with a rain of blood and a bureaucratic apology memo from the rest of the galaxy. Enzo had always been a daredevil — snowboarder, rock climber, martial artist, skydiver — until an accident put him on a quieter path crafting bespoke jewelry. Then came the rain. With it came evidence that humanity wasn't alone, and that magic was very real. The dead now rise as Eaters: magically evolving, mana-sucking undead with a taste for hearts and brains. Enzo's only guide is a cryptic Universal Training Guide that refuses to answer questions until you're already figuring things out for yourself. He'll master spells, craft magical equipment, protect the people he loves — and eventually find the people responsible for that apology memo.

Walter's normal life is turned upside down when the human race is judged worthy of Ascension — granting powers beyond comprehension to those who complete Trials as an Aspirant. The Trials are run by otherworldly abominations who view humanity as little more than amusing playthings. Walter has been chosen by the Absolute Luck System and has infiltrated the Trials as a Lord Arbiter. The problem: he must now balance life as both an Aspirant and an Admin, and he's doomed if either side finds out he's not who he says he is. Navigating this double life with wit, smarts, and a little luck, Walter must survive long enough to become an Unwilling Eldritch Horror of Fortune.

After an unexpected death, John wakes in another world where a system guides him. Known as a Sider — someone reincarnated from Earth — his initial aim is simply to survive.

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead

Maltenai

C53/100
The cycle is simple: a Dungeon Core is born, seeks power, accumulates wealth, descends into darkness, and is eventually quelled by adventurers. All cores desire power. This one seems to have it backwards. It has no desire to rule, enslave, or conquer — it wants to start a corporation. When money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core on its journey to earn fat stacks while going to absurd lengths to avoid being evil.

Death's Favorite Warlock

Charles Dean

C53/100
Lars wakes each morning to a voice in his head urging him to kill — claiming she's just handing him quests to help him level. He ignores it. The cultivators who bullied him his whole life are as far above him as gods, and killing isn't in his nature anyway. Then a murderous sect descends on his village, slaughters everyone he knows, and takes his mother as a slave. Lars has no choice but to trust the voice, complete her quests, and find a way to grow strong enough to get her back.
