A Young Girl's War Between the Stars

sinereal

A83/100
Tanya von Degurechaff meets a violent end as the Great War draws to a close. Being X, growing bored with his chew toy, flings her soul out of his system entirely. Tanya wakes in a new universe — a galaxy far, far away — and must start over once again. It's a long way to the top, if you want to retire early.

The Cabin Is Always Hungry

HoppyCobalt

A83/100
When Mark Castle died at the hands of a cult, he was reincarnated and forced to become a dungeon core — making his domain a lonely cabin in the woods. With newfound powers, he begins his revenge on the people who murdered him, drawing on the tropes and monster manuals of his favorite horror films. His rule is simple: lure unwitting victims into the cabin, kill them off one by one, and feed his core with their souls. Anyone lucky enough to survive until dawn earns treasure — and their lives. But as Mark feeds and grows, those who hunger for his unique power begin to take notice, and the danger he faces becomes far greater than he imagined.

Eight

Samer Rabadi (aka 3seed)

A83/100
His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall — and the gate guard drove him off, thinking he was a monster. Life's tough when you're an old man trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. But there's sixty-four years of hard-won wisdom inside that small frame, and Eight will use every bit of it to survive.

Penitent

Seersucker

Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to become a Penitent — a soldier in the country he was reborn into — in order to pay a debt to society for taking the life of the child whose body he now inhabits. It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

The Bell Tolls for Me

Nemorosis

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.

Vigil Bound

James A. Hunter

A82/100
Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for elite Force Recon. He'd found a tribe and a family — so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret. Instead of winding up dead, he wakes up in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He's been chosen by Raguel, the Five-Faced God of Justice, and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger, and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock spells, and harness the abilities of the monsters he's dispatched to hunt.

Biracial Edgelord Can't Make Immortal: Power of Ten, Book Seven

RE Druin

A81/100
Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse — one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs. Oddly familiar, yet deeply strange: Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos. Evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods — only ascended Immortals pursuing personal Projects with little care for the lives of mere mortals. The road to mortal power is clear and broad, and Funf has a significant head start. But when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, shaking up the existing order will require an entirely new approach — and perhaps bring the Light of Heaven to a cadre of uncaring super-beings for the first time.

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.

Tori Transmigrated

Aila Aurie

A81/100
Forty-year-old project manager Tori Felix was scrolling through a wiki article about a dating sim on the bullet train when everything went wrong. She woke up in the bruised teenage body of Victoria de Guevera — the villainess of the popular game "The Romance of Soleil" — with a splitting headache and a very bad prognosis: according to the wiki, Victoria dies violently at the hands of sex slavers. With only weeks before the heroine and villainess collide, there is no time for an existential crisis. Tori's personal mantra has always been "assess the situation, then make a plan of action" — and she intends to use it.
