Engine of Reincarnation

Philetus

B68/100
Everyone dies, but I get to live again. And again. And again. When I died, my soul followed the usual cycle of reincarnation — until I was caught by higher-dimensional pirates. Fortunately I was saved, and along the way I picked up a special skill that made me immune to the usual memory loss between lives, letting me carry stats and skills from each life into the next. So what's a guy to do when he's reborn as a baby in a new world? Learn the local magic, navigate how his System works, and pick up skills to help him survive and thrive — in this life and all the lives that follow. Maybe along the way find some meaning in it all, setting goals across the vast multiverse. A slow-burn, slice-of-life serial reincarnation LitRPG about the journey of living through multiple isekai fantasies.

Deathworld Commando: Reborn

RangerFrank

B68/100
Commander Kronos was not considered human — he was a weapon, grown in a tube to be the perfect soldier for his species. When he experienced genuine emotion for the first time, humanity eliminated him. He was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery as Kaladin Shadowheart, a dark elf, and given a second lease on life he initially refused to accept. It took a near-death experience and hard-won growth, but Kaladin finally committed to honoring a promise to his former comrades: to give this new life an honest try. A reincarnation progression story focused less on power fantasy and more on a former weapon learning what it means to be a person.

Save Scumming

RavensDagger

B68/100
He died nine months from today — the day Fortress ENE, his home and one of the few safe cities left in North America, was overrun by a million monsters pouring from the same portals humanity had been exploiting for years. Now he has nine months to find out who engineered the breach, which corporation stands to gain, and who is pulling the levers of power to burn his home down. His assets: a shitty apartment on the outskirts, a job interview in the morning, an obese cat named Mister Couchtop — and the ability to set Save points and Reload to them as often as he wants, reliving days or minutes over and over until he gets everything just right. Yeah. He can do this.

As she makes new friends, masters the craft of baking, and stumbles through her first-ever romance, she begins to discover what her all-magic life was missing. But when the town develops problems that only magic can solve, Jane must figure out how to make the magical and the mundane work together — or risk losing parts of herself forever.

Tales of the Endless Empire

The Curator

B68/100
A bloodmage born in shadows, a shapeshifter no one can predict, a survivor in a world set against him. Thalion's life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy — until the System arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others. The System granted people magic and even ways to defy time itself, but the tutorial has become more of a slaughter trial than a learning experience. A post-apocalyptic LitRPG featuring an adaptive magic system that evolves based on its wielder, multi-POV storytelling, and expansive worldbuilding.

DrDoritosMD

B68/100

Thrust into Tenria's realm of magic and steam engines, Cole discovers a power beyond anything he has imagined. But his new world may not be so different from the old one, and the stakes remain the same: there are people who depend on him, people he might not be able to save. Cole and his team are but men facing unimaginable odds. Even so, they may yet prove history's truth: that the greatest heroes are always just human.

Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

Bluefishcake

Rivera's Repairs: Dungeon Repairwoman

M.S. Davidson

B67/100
Nineteen-year-old repair technician Tess Rivera lives on Tertius-Prime, a crumbling megacity built atop a dungeon that has been "cleared" for twenty years. The power grid fails nightly, her father's health is declining, and their freighter-home is one broken component away from becoming a coffin. When desperation drives her into the dungeon's outdated tutorial system, it malfunctions—and Tess fixes it herself, accidentally acquiring a {null} class no one has ever heard of. No combat skills, no normal leveling. Just the ability to see dungeon code, interface with broken systems, and talk to an AI that has been alone for far too long. The "cleared" dungeon is not empty. It has just been abandoned. And Tess's "broken" class might be exactly what is needed to wake it back up.
