Primal Wizardry

TK523

C45/100
Kole always wanted to be a wizard — a dream that grew into an obsession after his parents disappeared on an adventure. Hailed as a prodigy, he had a head start, until his mother's magic manifested after he had already committed to wizardry. Now his one powerful magical ability — invisibility — holds him back from the greater heights he craves. After five years struggling to overcome his blocked wizardry, and with his parents declared legally dead, Kole faces a choice: stay home and train as a Mirage Knight, or set out alone to seek answers at the Academy of Illunia, the center of all magical learning.

Daoist Mystery

C45/100
A new mother who recently hit rock bottom is whisked to a new world of magic and monsters. Her prodigious intelligence earns her a free magical skill, and though she puts it to great use, she soon discovers that in this new land, magic is the highest taboo imaginable — and for a good reason. She learns quickly that she will have to be the bigger monster to protect the only thing in her life worth protecting: her child. With her particular set of skills, there's an unending tide of enemies waiting to take a piece of her.

The War God Saga

Aaron Crash, James Hunter

C45/100
When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a mission off the coast of Cyprus, he stumbles onto a long-abandoned island — and into an age-old battle between good and evil. The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. Jacob's arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the darkness at bay. Now, wielding a sacred gem containing Ares' power, he must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold — or Hades will unleash his army of the damned.

Storm Strider

Maradina

C45/100
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. All she wants is to sail to a legendary island city and bring back a vial of healing seawater for her sickly mother. But when leviathans attack her ship and strand her in the middle of the sea, she's forced to pick a class from a system. Three out of four classes will save her life and bring her home — but only one will let her stand on water, move forward, and save her mother. So what if her system tells her she has less than a one percent chance of making the journey? Marisol will skate to the city or die trying.

Deus in Machina

Tony

C45/100
In a galaxy forsaken, infernal gateways tear the world asunder, unleashing Hell's legions to crush all in their grasp. From the ashes, Theosis — the Divine System and God's voice in the temporal realm — ascends, forging a grand Empire and waging four millennia of merciless Holy War against the Underworld's evil. 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.

Born Different

Vnator

C45/100
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.

Jonny was the undefeated king of the octagon — until a group of incompetent goons accidentally killed him while trying to rig his next fight. He wakes up reincarnated as the only son of a duke in a world where magic is ordinary. There's just one problem: a rare condition prevents him from using magic. With his father's brother scheming for his death, Jonny is secretly sent to an orphanage for safety. But Jonny was the strongest before, and he intends to be the strongest again — and his very condition might be exactly what he needs to make that dream a reality.

Lucas is a dick, but you would be too if you died in a meth lab explosion and found yourself in a fantasy world. Now, with only his ruthlessness and an ever-increasing body of alchemical knowledge, he has to make his way in this new world — because being poor sucks no matter where you are. He has no idea what's going to happen, but he isn't dying again, because he already knows the afterlife is pretty much bullshit.

Lifeweaver: A Healer LitRPG

Soderberg

D44/100
Luke Quinn is twenty-six, broke, and a disappointment to everyone — himself most of all. A promising med student turned burger flipper, he carries guilt over the sister he couldn't cure. Everything changes when an impossible broadcast interrupts every screen on Earth, announcing a "System Integration" and inviting humanity to touch mysterious orbs appearing in every city. Monsters. Magic. Classes. Levels. Earth is no longer just a planet. With nothing left to lose, Luke becomes something vanishingly rare: a healer. But this isn't a game — healing takes nerve, precision, and pain. Luke must master his intricate Lifeweaver powers while navigating a volatile tutorial and a still-intact society scrambling to make sense of it all.

Tiny Dungeon Core

TheBeardedMan

D44/100
When the Archmage Calamvor dies after creating an artificial Dungeon Core, he sets off a chain of events that even the godly High Spirits could not have predicted. His creation — stolen by the most unlikely of creatures — will go on to save the world, one tiny piece at a time. This is the tiniest Dungeon Core in the world, and saving it will probably take a while. Its creatures may not be the fiercest, but they are loyal. That loyalty is tested as dangerous foes come for the Core and the Aether it possesses, while the High Spirits pursue their own agendas and a darkness stirs in the North.

The Court of Souls?

Andur

D44/100
In a world of myths, gods, and demons, only power counts — the weak are worse than cattle, and survival of the fittest is the only law. A lonely child is born with a strange power that places him between light and darkness, shunned by his own people for what he can do. This is not a story of a noble man doing good amid monsters. It is a story of a demon who was, perhaps, kinder than the rest.

Advent of Eternity: A Tactical LitRPG

Actus

D44/100
The Gods were believed to be immortal — so far beyond the natural laws of the universe that their crimes went unpunishable. A clock hung over every mortal, counting down to the day the Goddess of Death claimed them. Knell Coda was never born in the normal sense. He came into the world outside the reach of the gods, to a family that had committed the cardinal sin of defying them. Their meddling wound the hands on a new clock — one that hung above the heads of the gods themselves, because of one secret Knell uncovered: the Gods can be tricked, defeated, and killed. To most, seeking the head of a goddess would be madness. To Knell, it is an inevitability.
