Magical Girl Gunslinger

Mikasane

S+91/100
When eldritch horrors called the Anathema began tearing through reality, aliens known as the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity by gifting chosen individuals with magic and advanced technology. Over twenty-one years later, the Magical Guardians are still hard at work — flashy, superhuman, and treated as idols of modern society. None of that matters much to Mai, whose biggest concerns are her family, classmates, and the creeping dread of her future. Magic and monsters may as well be daydreams — until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion. A dark magical-girl story with sci-fi elements and gradually introduced LitRPG mechanics.

Rock falls, everyone dies

zechamp

S+91/100
By a stroke of fate, a stone gains sentience and sets out on a grand quest to touch grass. Unfortunately, the system forgot to change its stats from metric values to the appropriate Str/Int/Dex values. Things escalate. Fast. Features cultivation, jade beauties, and numbers going up — ridiculously up, all of them — courtesy of arguably the most balanced protagonist of all time.

Are You Even Human

Thundamoo

S+91/100
In 2025, the moon hatched and its child died. Things have since gotten worse. Some people have superpowers now, but so do the extradimensional invaders slowly wiping humanity out. By Julietta's eighteenth birthday, the war has been loss after loss for longer than she's been alive — so she can't bring herself to be terribly shocked when the sky splits in half and weeps death. Surviving is the real surprise. Unexpectedly gaining the powers of a shapeshifter, she can change into any living thing she has touched, mixing and matching parts at will — except when she tries to return to her original form. Trapped behind enemy lines in someone else's skin, Julietta must adapt to new powers, new bodies, and new threats just to survive. But when she makes it out, will she still be Julietta?

Tom Elliot

S+91/100

Paranoid Mage

InadvisablyCompelled

S+91/100
Callum had seen things all his life — monsters and beasts living among people — but he learned very early not to admit such things. It turns out the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn't cast any spells in all his life. The powers that be insist on requirements, duties, and education. To hell with that. An urban fantasy that goes rather sideways from the normal genre fairly quickly, following Callum as he goes from fugitive to renegade to open conflict with the forces that govern the supernatural world.

mirrth

S+91/100
It is twenty-two years before the Battle of Yavin, and the galaxy is at war. Born on an unremarkable planet in the Inner Rim, Rain never gave much thought to his future — peaceful living didn't seem hard to find in a vast galaxy. Two decades later, armies are marshaled and warships fill the stars. Armed with foreknowledge of nine movies, Rain is forced onto the losing side of a galactic conflict, navigating a sprawling, multi-perspective war story far removed from a simple self-insert adventure.

Pale Lights

ErraticErrata

S+91/100
Tristan Abrascal is a thief scraping by under the perpetual twilight of Vesper's greatest city. Quick wit and a contract with a capricious goddess have kept him one step ahead — until a single misstep burns every bridge he has left. His only way out doubles as a chance to settle scores with the infanzones, the nobles he has lived under his whole life. Angharad Tredegar has fled halfway across the world after her family was butchered by a ruthless enemy. Assassins still follow, and the only protection she can find comes at a steep cost. Both paths converge on the Watch — and on the deadly trials of the isle known as the Dominion of Lost Things, where many go and few return. The second book, Good Treasons, follows the four survivors as they enroll at the infamous Scholomance, only to find that none are beyond the reach of their pasts.

In a dystopian future, life at the bottom is brutal. Jobs don't exist in the real world, and millions survive only by working in VR worlds as servants to the wealthy.

Four friends sign five-year contracts as virtual serfs in a small village, barred from adventuring entirely. Handed mops instead of swords, they face a simple choice: work as a blacksmith, barmaid, and shepherd for five years — or cheat, find the loopholes, and carve out a piece of the world for themselves.

Mirian Castrella, a student in her final year of a magical academy, unexpectedly finds herself caught in a time loop and haunted by strange dreams of the Elder Gods.

Reborn as a Demonic Tree

XKarnation

S+90/100
Ashlock woke in the courtyard of a demonic sect — as a tree. A tree that eats people. And one that grows stronger over time through a daily sign-in system and cultivation. A strange new life, but perhaps not the worst one in a world where humans chase immortality through the art of cultivation. Every day he grows stronger, gaining powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items in exchange for credits earned from eating flesh and watching the seasons pass. But his peaceful, man-eating existence can only go unnoticed for so long. His Qi-rich bark makes him a target, tensions in the demonic sect are rising, and a Beast Tide looms on the horizon. Ashlock's only option is to grow faster and stronger than any tree in the history of the nine realms.
