Tower of Cards 2: Runeseeker

JPwrites

D43/100
Almost half a century has passed since prison ships discovered a mysterious tower off the coast of Australia. Monarchies, republics, and trading empires built a city around it to contain the monsters spilling from its rune-covered structure. The few who dared climb it learned the magic of Gaia's runic cards. Now people delve the tower for fame, fortune, and power. Diya Sen climbs hoping to find clues about his missing brother and solve Gaia's mysteries — but the warring noble houses stand in his way. Only allies and powerful cards will help him function outside the nobility's control. Not all cards are made equal, and as an ordinary man, sources of power are outside his reach. Perhaps the talents of a Spell Thief will prove more useful.

Wounds in the Sky

V.R. Cardoso

D43/100
Aric and Fadan are half-brothers — both sons of the Empress, but only one the son of the Emperor. A decade ago, Fadan's powerful father tore the Empire apart by outlawing magic. Forbidden from seeing each other, the brothers defy the Emperor and wander the Imperial Citadel until they stumble upon an ancient Manual of Magic. Faced with the choice of surrendering the book or testing whether one of them carries the forbidden magical Talent, they choose the latter — and their world is shattered. Tragedy and conspiracy tear them apart, sending each to opposite ends of the Empire: one to train as a Dragon Hunter, the other to secretly wield powers that could mean his execution.

The Last Heir

Feydan

D43/100
When a Great House falls, chaos follows. Rowan watched as a betrayal from within destroyed everything he'd ever known — his home burned, an Archdemon ravaged their lands, and he was left as the sole survivor of a magical lineage spanning millennia. Unawakened and powerless, he could only watch as the other Great Houses carved up what remained. But obscurity saved him. On his twentieth name-day, Rowan finally Awakened — granted a Trait of unknown power, a Title of unimaginable weight, and an Item of untold worth. As he steps onto his Path, the echoes of his past follow. The passes his family defended were left unguarded too long, and now the encroaching Wilds threaten far more than just the north.

The Exalted Mage

Kairami

D43/100
The hardest thing about being a mage of ruin and tempests is having to hold back. Veronica's magic isn't subtle — it's cataclysmic. Specializing in widespread destruction magic, she could tear apart mountains, raze armies, and bury cities. She was the first and only mage to reach the 10th tier, and because of that she was humanity's last hope against the demons. Until the day she fell, alone, as the world burned around her. In her final moments she cast her soul back in time. Now nineteen again, she has years to prepare before the invasion begins anew. She must find allies, raise students, and rally forces to stand beside her — and this time, freed from the curse that shackled her body in her previous life, no one knows how far she can truly ascend.

Monster Tamer

Isaac Hooke

D43/100
Malem is a Breaker — someone who can impose his will over the minds of beasts, bending them to his command. His ability is severely limited in scope and numbers, and most monsters have always been beyond him.

Loser of Tarinath

S. Zaplosky

D43/100
When Jake is sentenced to a virtual world for crimes he definitely did commit, he finds that one bad decision puts him on a path he never would have chosen. Virtual reality worlds have become the preferred way of disposing of excess people, and Jake lands in the swords-and-sorcery world of Tarinath — not as the warrior he would have preferred, but as a healer with little ability to deal the damage he so desperately wants to.

Dragon Core Chronicles

Lars Machmüller

Carl was a regular construction foreman who died of a heart attack — and woke up reincarnated as a dragon in a magic-filled, dog-eat-dog world. One crazy starting bonus. Major downside: no thumbs. Being at the top of the food chain has its perks, but Carl needs to figure out how magic works, which monsters are safe to eat, and why his hoard matters so much to him. Enemy dragons are already incoming, and every monster in the region wants bragging rights for taking down a dragon. At the end of the day, Carl just wants to build a life worth living in a world where might makes right.

Island Core

NoDragons

D42/100
In an empire on the edge of the known worlds, gods are hunted, spirits outlawed, and magic itself is the dwindling heritage of a few tribes cast to the far reaches of the archipelagos. A dungeon core with no name must change the tides of time and fate to survive.

Nobody's Hero

Noct

D42/100
There's one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies. Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration — everything is on the table, except immortality. After all, if anyone were immortal, Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator-for-life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator forever. It's a good thing no one is immortal. Especially not Levi. A satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist, drawing on the vibes of The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City.

Middang3ard

Ramy Vance

D42/100
What if J.R.R. Tolkien's work wasn't fiction, but a primer to help humanity get accustomed to a harsh truth? There are nine known realms, a world for each race — including dwarves, gnomes, and elves. In the middle rests Middang3ard. Each world knows the others. Each, except Earth. Humans long ago turned their backs on magic, and their governments shielded them from the reality of what was happening elsewhere. Then the Dark One appeared, threatening to overrun all nine worlds — and the second planet just went dark. Now, humans must send elite warriors to Middang3ard to fight before the battle reaches Earth's shores. Too bad their elite starts and ends with Robert "Suzuki" Fletcher and his team of Mundanes.

After the Final Chapter

GoldSphere

D42/100
Daniel spent a decade writing a single fantasy novel — the saga of Artorias Grifantes, the legendary mage who sealed himself away with an immortal evil to save the world. He finished the final chapter. Then he died face-down on his keyboard. He wakes up in a crystal chamber a thousand years after his ending, inside his hero's body. His protagonist has become a religious figure, his allies legends, and his hero's baby sister is long dead — though her descendants remain, including a blind little girl who needs a hand. The elf he wrote into a doomed romance is still out there, waiting. Daniel inherits the greatest mind on the continent, but with it come memories and emotions he never expected. And the seeds he planted for a sequel are still out there, worse than anything his hero ever faced. Instead of writing it, he will have to live it.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10

Phillip Rayne

D42/100
Jonathan Kelly, a citizen of a multiverse-spanning organization, is dispatched on a solo Dive assignment to a pre-industrial exotic world designated Epsilon H-037-072-030-010. The world features morphologically distinct humanoids and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws — and its causal chain is only provisionally stable. This is not a story about an MC isolated in a new world. It is a story about a new world joining a multiverse — a subverted Isekai grounded in scientific and philosophical consideration alongside the adventure.

Theft of Decks

Lars Machmüller

D42/100
In the frontier town of Isarn, Chase will never be more than the lowly Darkborn thief he is. Banned from training, banned from acquiring better cards — if the Lightborn had their way, he'd be banned from life itself. But Chase and his friends have determination. Losing a hand to brutal punishment only fueled his obsession to get access to reality-bending cards. Nobody cares where you came from when you're rich enough. Facing established powers, churches, and age-old prejudices, Chase and his crew must fight back — and if the Lightborn won't share, sometimes the only way to get dealt a better hand is to steal the whole deck.

The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns

Pancakes Witch

D42/100
Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in a brutal world of martial arts and cultivation, ascending to its absolute pinnacle — only to find herself unable to escape the Heavenly Will's grasp. She gambled everything on a final act, fleeing into the Outer Cosmos. She expected an end. Instead, a black hole spits her back to Earth, a planet now transformed: a Tower connects it to countless worlds, dimensional gates spew monsters, and awakened Hunters climb floors in a desperate bid to save humanity. With her mother and sister still alive, Bing Xue brings eleven thousand years of supreme cultivation to bear — against the Tower, the gods who run it, and anything else that stands between her and the people she loves.

Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, Harald now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and a celestial war burning beneath the city's streets. The dungeon reshapes him with every victory — but at what cost? A slow-burn progression fantasy built around a 100-level dungeon with a unique magic system drawing power from the consumed essence of a fallen celestial being.

Diary of a Teenaged Mimic

Kenny Celican

D42/100
Tabitha Diaz fits in wherever she winds up — even when that wherever is another world entirely. "Wear the mask long enough and you become the mask" isn't scary for the mask. Tabitha is an overpowered shapeshifter who is far too much of a dumbass to realize how overpowered she is. Her story is a slice-of-life isekai heavy on relationships, found family, and polyamorous romance between two bi women and their tiger-woman companion — set against a non-heteronormative secondary world with occasional over-the-top threats when her family is endangered.
