The Looping Moron Magus

bor902

A79/100
After being killed, a somewhat intellectually and empathically disadvantaged young mage wakes up just in time for the start of semester exams. He has been marked with the brand of time — cursed to return upon every death until a coming calamity is prevented. If only he could listen to his survival instinct long enough to find out that a calamity was even coming.

Metaworld Chronicles

Wutosama

A78/100

Instead of airplanes and electricity, this 21st-century Earth is ruled by magic and dragons; humanity survives in a land of magical beasts and otherworldly beings, protected by shielded enclaves and magical constructs. Follow Gwen as she struggles to rebuild her life in this strange new reality — growing from a grade school student into a fully-fledged Mage, through university and beyond, uncovering the secrets of a world made unreal by magic and mysticism.

Ten Thousand Fleets

David Niemitz (M0rph3u5)

A78/100
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.

The Demon Queen Wants To Live. [Yuri, Progression Fantasy]

TheLastSurvivor

A78/100
Lysanthia, the strongest Demon Queen, spent centuries trying to die — not because she wanted death, but because it was the only way to break her chains. Her reincarnation spell worked, mostly. She woke in a forest nearly a thousand years in the future, in a body not quite hers, stripped of her overwhelming power. A world without a System. Without Classes. Without the Gods watching her every step. Her reincarnation is complicated by the presence of Ash, the Hero who slew her. Thrust into a world almost completely alien yet somehow recognizable — where power is etched in Ink — she must start from nothing. And for the first time in eons, some people show her kindness for no reason at all. That might be harder than starting over.

Fluff

RavensDagger

A77/100
Every year on Power Day, people across the world awaken new abilities and are labeled Heroes or Villains. Emily Wright wants nothing to do with any of it — she just wants to get her degree and manage her social anxiety. Instead, she awakens with the power to summon little sisters and is officially categorized as a Villain. Accidentally conjuring a pint-sized supervillain sidekick is only the beginning. With an ever-growing family of mischievous sisters to babysit, Emily tries to stay under the radar — even as her reluctant "evil empire" grows larger than she ever intended.

Academy of Outcasts

Larry Correia

A77/100
All Oz Carnavon ever wanted was to become a master mage. But doing so requires the natural gifts or wealth needed to secure an appointment to one of the prestigious magical academies in the Core City at the center of the seven realms — and Oz had neither. Born without magical talent, he's been serving in the nightmarish elemental plane of fire, where life is cheap and escape is rare. When Oz fakes his death to escape his family's contract and sneaks into the Core, everything seems to be going according to plan — until he gets blamed for an assassination attempt on the fire realm's ambassador. Now a fugitive in a vast magical city, he must earn a place among the magical academies that have nothing but disdain for his kind. And the clock is ticking: the most dangerous wizard in the realm of fire is coming to track him down.

Song of the Gift-Giver

Selkie

A77/100
When Merlin sundered the world to separate the magical from the mundane, he made a small mistake: he copied every mundane body but not their souls. That night, they rose as undead — and the world has never known peace since. Camelot is now an institution for teaching fine young wixen about magic, and it is not a safe place to learn. Felix has never held a wand or cast a spell — until Paracelsus, the Immortal Alchemist, breaks into his home to tell him he's a wizard. Meanwhile, Erik Morsin, groomed to be the next Duke of Ireland, is a member of the most hated family in King Arthur's nation. Four other students round out a group whose lives will intertwine at Camelot — though only five can bond as a coven. A mild LitRPG set in a magic school, planned across eight books.

Epilogue

Etzoli

A76/100
In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery they brought peace to a land on the brink of destruction. But when the people sought out their saviors, they had vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl — the four mysterious companions who had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives — were spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed. Except only three came back.

Law of the Jungle

Vasily Mahanenko

A76/100
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?

Bioshifter

Thundamoo

Hannah has a routine. Wake up, shower, school, work, sleep. A perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. But that's all she thinks they are — nightmares — until one night they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away. A story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergency, and a whole lot of trauma.

Having gained self-awareness while still in his mother's womb, Michael Kaiser knew this was his chance. Being born was only the first step — at one year old he would have a college degree, and at five he would be a billionaire. This being a magical world with advanced technology, he'd catch up in no time. Except he nearly died in the first minutes of his life. Something had to be done. Michael Kaiser has the talent of Adaptation and nanomachines in his blood — and in a world where aristocratic bloodlines with magical abilities hold all power, he intends to climb from infant prodigy to unstoppable force.

Trinity of Magic

Elara

A75/100
Zeke was born into obscurity at the very bottom of a world where magic defines worth. The gap between his low birth and true mastery seems unbridgeable. Yet he refuses to accept his place — even as the path ahead is littered with those who tried and failed before him. A slow-burn progression fantasy built on a hard magic system grounded in solid principles rather than game-like point allocation. Power here is earned through understanding, not shortcuts.

The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere

Lurina

A75/100
The world is in the midst of a golden age. Humanity has been largely united under a single government for two centuries, scarcity has been all but eliminated, and the human lifespan has been extended far beyond what was once possible. Yet cracks have begun to form in this utopia — progress in science has outpaced social values, leading to conflict as the new generation struggles with perpetual disenfranchisement under their all-but-unaging elders. A class of gifted young arcanists are invited to attend a conclave held by the enigmatic Order of the Universal Panacea, an ancient organization devoted to pursuing the secret of true immortality. Several participants, including Utsushikome of Fusai — a prodigy of Thanatomancy whose grandfather was once a member — have ulterior motives for attending. Unbeknownst to them, there is a curse on the Order. An uninvited guest may already lurk among them — one that is not human. A whodunnit-style murder mystery with a focus on psychological drama and personal horror.

Storm's Apprentice

imperfect-tense

A75/100
In the Antorxian Empire, magical talent can be a curse. Dorian hoped he'd never set eyes on a Reeve — one of Antorx's sorcerer-knights — but as mage scouts they were ruthless, thorough, and impossible to hide from. On the day they arrived in his small village, his quiet life as a scribe's apprentice was over. He would be taken to Windshriek Academy, where harsh conditions and cruel punishments would either turn him into a loyal sorcerer for the Empire, or destroy him. There were no other outcomes, and no magical talent was permitted to foster outside of Antorxian control.

For Matthew "Wormhole" Maruki, blowing up Dungeons is more than a job—it is a pleasure. The year is 2024: monsters are everywhere, and mysterious Dungeons eat people. It is Matthew's secret part-time job to stamp them out like weeds before they grow big enough to overwhelm reality, something he and his team have grown explosively good at between school life and the occasional cosmic disaster. But the war against the Dungeons is unending, and unknown to Matthew himself, he might hold the key to mankind's ultimate victory—if only he could remember it.
