The Bell Tolls for Me

Nemorosis

A81/100
A succession crisis consumed the Kingdom of Dovhain following the death of Edgar the Great. Princess Isabella endured every indignity, overcame countless injustices, and fought the most vicious of enemies — first for survival, then for hope of a better future. She became queen, only to be betrayed by those she trusted most. Somehow, Isabella woke up eight years in the past, one week after her father's death. The experience and knowledge she gained in the struggle for the throne give her a fighting chance — but the question she must answer is a hard one. Should she pursue her own happiness, or attempt to better the realm? Perhaps, if she dares, she can reach for both.

Chronicles of an Isekai'd Legion: For the Glory of Rome

Zaifyr

A81/100
A wise man once said all roads lead to Rome. He didn't know how right he was. Ripped away from the battlefield, Tiberius and his six thousand Roman Legionnaires find themselves stranded in a foreign land of magic and witchcraft. With no way home, their path forward is obvious: conquer everything in sight — much to the chagrin of Marcus, the poor, unsuspecting bard who summoned them. Taking over the world is not so easy. The Legion must learn to navigate the strange magics and abilities this new world has granted them. Meanwhile Marcus must figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world — or simply enjoy the front-row seat to an epic in the making.

Hyperion Evergrowing: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

Nilsimus

A81/100
Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle. As dawn breaks, opportunistic creatures stalk the aftermath of bloody conflict — and one such being, an entity of twisted and blighted wood, implants his dying body with the parasitic seed of a carnivorous plant. Identity shattered and levels lost, Leif is reborn as a sapling in a newly formed wilderness. When the primal need to reclaim his lost humanity uproots him, he embarks on an era-spanning journey that will change both him and the world forever. The story explores what it means to be forcibly altered against one's will, and the consequences of that change — alongside animal companions, kingdom building, heavy world-building, and a subplot about the origin of the system itself.

Valkyrie's Shadow

Aeridinae Lunaris

A80/100
In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world's stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. When a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come. Valkyrie's Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by the advent of beings of matchless power transmigrated from a game. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master's Will. A slow-build kingdom-builder with methodical storytelling and a focus on well-rounded character development.

Discount Dan's Backroom Bargains

James Hunter

A80/100
Dan has accidentally 'noclipped' into the Backrooms — a bizarro extra-dimensional world cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned insane asylums, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as the Dwellers. No one ever gets out. If Dan wants to survive the week, he's going to need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own — and fast, because the Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death.

RE: Deity - The Breath of Creation

Infamous Goose

Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, the created universes will be able to interact with each other — and be at the mercy of the Void. One of those souls finds the work of a deity far from easy. Between raising up gods to defend the realm, guiding mortals, accidentally creating a xianxia world, and dealing with divine children, there is always more to be done. Now it's clear why gods on Earth worked in mysterious, invisible ways: there's simply too much to be done.

Fox's Tongue and Kirin's Bone

MuffinLance

A79/100
Humanity is dying, hunted to extinction by creatures of legend. One boy was born to save them all. That boy just got knifed in the back. He looked a bit too much like Aaron, you see. Now it's Aaron's job to step up, lest his Death correct that little mix-up. But Aaron's skills as a street rat run more towards stealing and stabbing than towards saving. And the more he learns of what brought dear dead Markus to that fatal alleyway, the more he has to wonder just what the world's savior was really up to the night the wrong boy died. A dark fantasy set in a world drawing on a fusion of European and Asian mythology, featuring court politics, gray-on-gray morality, and a slow-burn empire-builder plot.

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.
