The Factory Must Grow - Book 3: The Wheels Must Turn

NorskDaedalus

C46/100
Constructing a portal is a monumental undertaking, yet the Forerunners have guided dozens of civilizations to that end and know exactly what is needed: thousands of laborers, hundreds of brilliant artisans, dozens of powerful mages. As the culmination of years of work, they tear a hole in the fabric between realities and travel between worlds. There is simply no reasonable way for only five people — prepared for a standard Isekai scenario yet now stranded on a hostile and alien world where mere survival is a challenge — to ever build a portal. But reasonable people don't become Forerunners.

Traclaon Armageddon

Alex Kozlowski

C45/100
Eric Peters has been reborn — sent back in time to change humanity's fate. After experiencing a future where all of humanity's planets and colonies had been purged, Eric refused to fall, and an Entity chose him to be humanity's last hope. The Reborn are galactic boogiemen — myths used to terrify children and curb the aggression of advanced alien civilizations, usually granted powers able to destroy star systems. But in Eric's case, the Entity gave him abilities barely classed as special. With only his memories and a couple of minor boons, he must survive evil elements within humanity, circling alien races, and change history enough so that when the Traclaon Empire declares war, his species can fight back.

We Lease The Kraken!

Osamaru Ta

Jeremiah Bridge had it all: a clear path to becoming an inter-planar veterinarian, a life of privilege in Prima City, and the unwavering support of his brilliant sister Sarah. Everything crumbles when Sarah is framed as a villain and killed in disgrace. Branded by association and cast into the chaotic streets of Nexus — a world where magic, technology, and myth collide — Jeremiah is left with nothing but questions, grief, and a strange pendant pulsing with mysterious power. When the System, Sarah's final unfinished masterpiece, chooses him, it pulls him into a world of impossible creatures, cryptic bargains, and shadowed truths Sarah never shared. There's just one thing he can't figure out: why does it want him to open a pet shop? A story about revenge, grief, redemption, and finding good homes for good boys.

Return of the Martial Messiah

ToraAKR

C45/100
ZionLine's promise was irresistible: triple your lifespan. The price? Surviving an unknown world rife with brutal combat, where gruesome deaths are terrifyingly real. For a desperate humanity, it was a price worth paying. But beneath the time dilation's gleaming facade lies a horrific truth that Earth's elite will kill to conceal. Raine KongRu has seen this future before — he lived through the captivity it heralds, and he knows there is precious little time to consolidate his power before millions die again. Under the guise of Alaric, Raine is hunted by those with the means to see him dead in both worlds. CronGate was once his home, its leaders his mentors, its people his own. They taught him everything he knew — and enslaved him for a lifetime. The feeling is mutual.

Nearly a century ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. Born and raised in a small desert village, Sand-Dancer Marisol wants nothing to do with the distant war.

Far from the Empire's light, on a savage world, Angar is forged in fury as a gateway to the abyss tears his homeland apart. His maul thunders with unyielding hate, offering crimson tithes to the Lord as he carves a blood-soaked path to glory — or damnation. A new Crusader rises.

In the dark caverns of a secluded dungeon, Click the spider is born with the impossibly rare gift of great Intelligence. Only the strongest of monsters can hope to survive in the savage dungeon, and Click must make the most of their unique abilities to come out on top — or at least alive. Click can best be described as Lawful-Neutral, finding merit in making and benefitting from allies rather than trampling everything underfoot. Not a hero, but definitely not a mindlessly evil villain.

In a future where top gamers are celebrities, Liam is pulled into an obscure virtual world called the Crucible Shard — starting at level one with no gear, no skills, and no roadmap.

As Liam rises from penniless player to King of Galea, he must contend with unreliable allies, relentless enemies, and a goddess who has promised to be his destruction. The line between the virtual world and Earth blurs as artificial intelligences pursue their own ambitions across both realms.
