Beware the Trickster

Mangowo

A78/100
Life was perfect: naps in sunbeams, stolen snacks, and expertly timed accidents to torment her favorite human. So when licking a strangely alluring gemstone suddenly flooded her fuzzy head with memories of her former human existence, Clover — now a fox — simply filed it under "things to not give a damn about" and went back to napping. Fate had other plans. When the curtain of her pampered ignorance was ripped aside, revealing a world steeped in ancient horrors, eldritch hungers, and flesh-warping occult progression, she reacted with remarkable calm. Because the real horror was anything threatening her nap-snack-torment equilibrium. Now this newly enlightened vulpine has a simple goal: get stronger — not for glory, but purely to achieve peace through overwhelming power.

Now Kairos must sail the endless sea, tame fearsome monsters, and conquer new lands. The challenges are many, but he will face them all. For Kairos is a cunning [Rogue] indeed.

In space, isolation is a slow killer. Company quickens the pace. Waking up adrift in an ancient battleground, Alex is left dazed and confused with no clue how she ended up trapped aboard a failing vessel. With only a mysterious voice in her head to guide her, she must act in order to survive. Every piece of the puzzle she collects only leads to more questions about her origins — and the star she's trapped around might not be as deserted as she first thought. All she knows for sure is that she could die at any minute. Alex is not going to go down without a fight.

Emperor of the Borderlands

Alex Toxic, Eugene Astakhov

A77/100
"Honor is the true measure of a man." On this principle, a powerful emperor built his empire, united disparate lands, and destroyed the greatest threat to his world — then died a warrior's death in battle. But instead of rest, he awoke on the border of a foreign kingdom, in the body of a noble-born outcast, with a noose around his neck. His former greatness may exist only as memory, but give him any backwater farm and he will turn it into a formidable stronghold. His experience, knowledge, and strategy remain intact — and time is pressing. The same creatures that once nearly destroyed his kingdom have infiltrated this new world, and only he knows their nature. A new empire must rise, or this world will fall.

Armed with every shortcut, strategy, and hard-won advantage from his past lives, Anthony must contend with vicious boss monsters, the oppressive surveillance of system administrators, and scheming players who want the game to go their way. In a world where every person has their own goals and fears, shepherding them toward survival won't be easy.

A Star Wars fan wakes up inside the Jedi Temple, 72 BBY — clanmates with Mace Windu, which is objectively awesome. Less awesome: he knows the Order is doomed, the Sith are plotting, and the galaxy is on a countdown to collapse. Now he has to change history without breaking it.

The Bee Dungeon

Icalos

Engineering, Magic, and Kitsune

SteelTrim

A76/100
John Hall did everything right — got his degree, landed his dream job in process engineering. Then, not even a week in, he woke up in a strange fantasy world steeped in Japanese mythology. Driven away by fireball-throwing locals, he retreated to the monster-infested woods, took residence in an abandoned fort, and rebuilt it — while teaching himself magic from scattered tomes. Five years of survival have slowly shaped the stranded engineer into an artificer carving out a more comfortable life, but the isolation is wearing on him. Danger and opportunity arrive together in the form of an injured kitsune. Aiding her drags John into a world in conflict, where his unique knowledge and perspective become his greatest weapons.

With no wealth, no status, and no magical abilities, armed only with his foundational knowledge of the art of war, Lansius must endure and thrive in a realistic medieval fantasy realm.

The Thirteenth God

Django Wexler

Taking down a god is not easy. In order to escape a prison at the edge of the world, con artist Kalsis Chiroptera agrees to do the impossible: overthrow the Princeps, the immortal ruler of all mankind. It seemed like a good idea at the time. With only a handful of survivors by his side — plus a cheerfully murderous golem girl — Kal has a long way to go before he is ready to challenge an empire. He will need allies, weapons, warships, and an ancient mecha that feeds on the bones of the world to grow stronger. A military progression fantasy featuring magitech, sandships, dark comedy, and a group of losers on a long road from dodging cannibal bikers to building a fleet of starships.

My Big Goblin Space Program

ScottWarren

A76/100
Engineer, double amputee, and now astronaut for NuEarth LLC — Chris is about to complete his life-long dream of being the first man to moonwalk on prosthetics. At least until his rocket explodes on launch. Instead of death, he finds himself in a new world and a new body: three feet tall, covered in blue fur, and with the ability to command the absolute loyalty of any goblin he meets. The one familiar element to this new planet is that it's got a moon — a big one, with forests and seas. Chris sees no reason why death and reincarnation should get in the way of his goal. Armed with an expanding army of fanatical followers and a dubious self-propagating Goblin Tech Tree, he'll stop at nothing to jump-start the Apollo program. But he was brought to this world for a reason, and not everyone is content to leave the goblin king to his own devices.

The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere

Lurina

A76/100
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.

Inexorable Chaos

Cliff Hanger

After countless subjective centuries on the job, an odd God arrives with a unique request — destroy a world, minimum payment several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason to refuse.

Department of Otherworld Rescue

ScottWarren

A75/100
Each year, teens around the country are spirited away to other worlds to fight on their behalf. One government department has been empowered to bring them back. Cole had his entire career planned — another year in the Airborne, then Ranger School, then Special Forces — until his fireteam was plucked from a war in Syria and thrust into a world of demons with an endless appetite for human hearts. Barely getting his squad to safety with the aid of the Department of Otherworld Rescue, Cole joins as an elite operative: venturing into dying, desperate worlds to retrieve stolen children and teens. These worlds run on strange rules enforced by vindictive gods and omniscient systems, filled with monsters, demons, and worse. But playing in their sandbox lets Cole and his team share in their rewards — rewards that could elevate even an ordinary soldier into a one-man army.

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.

Godclads

OstensibleMammal

Vast hive cities now serve as the final bastions against a crumbling reality, and within the greatest of them, New Vultun, ascenders wage war to determine the very laws of existence. Avo was born a weapon — a slave to his instincts and his masters, made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when he gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy. To free the world from its chains, he must ascend the megacity and challenge the tyrants who usurped the gods.
