World Seed

Justin Miller

D43/100
The year is 2245. Virtual Reality has long since transformed society — some people even abandoned their physical bodies for digital existence. Now the next leap has arrived: the Seed consoles, so immersive they qualify as Artificial Reality rather than VR. But what happens when things become too real?

Warlords of the Circle Sea

Ember Lane

D43/100
Connor O'Grady wakes up naked in long grass, reincarnated in a game world packed with monsters. A voice fills the sky and announces him as a Lord of the land — and then informs him that ninety-nine other Lords are out for his blood. Connor must build a civilization from scratch, form a team with other souls reincarnated from Earth, forge alliances with native elves, mountain men, and pixies, and tame dragons and wyverns. Monster battles, full-scale war, quests for hidden artefacts, magic, and crafting await — all while competing in a ruthless 100-Lord battle where there can be only one winner.

Cowboy Necromancer

Harmon Cooper

D43/100
Sterling Monedero is not your typical necromancer. Even with the game system and mancer class forced onto him by the skyscraper-sized alien monoliths known as Godwalkers, he just wants to farm peppers in peace. He tried the revenge thing five years ago and failed miserably. But when the Godwalkers return for their own revenge — and Killbilly bandits show up to impose a pepper tax — the tough-as-bones loner decides enough is enough. It's time to reassemble the team and put an end to the alien threat once and for all. Set in a richly imagined post-apocalyptic New Mexico, this LitRPG western blends superpowered mancers, terrifying skeletal hybrids called amalgamations, and a heavy dose of Southwestern mysticism.

System School

Kos Play

D43/100
Melvin Murphy is an ordinary high schooler until he discovers a System that governs all magic. Attempting to summon a teacher to guide him, he botches the ritual and accidentally pulls through a magic-wielding girl named Kalliphae — powerful and deadly, but just as clueless about Earth as he is about magic. Together, an unlikely pair begins navigating both the mundane problems of high school and the far stranger challenges of a hidden magical world.

Immortality Starts With Diligence

RighteousEgg

D43/100
Lin Fei had mediocre martial arts talent — until he unexpectedly acquired a martial arts system that allows all of his skills to be self-cultivated through observation and practice. "Your Giant Whale Body Refining Technique has increased by 50% due to its observation of the 'Long Whale Under the Moon' diagram, which enabled it to comprehend the essence of the technique." Despite appearing to put in little effort, Lin Fei's martial arts skills are nothing if not diligent.

Cerberus Cards

John Stovall

D42/100
It's Drop Night — the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you're a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system: controlling powerful monsters and summoning mantles to fight alongside your beasts. Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked twice. When he finally gets a deck, there's no time to celebrate — the rival gang has six deckbearers and they're cutting in on the family's trade. And things might get worse when everyone figures out he received an ultra-rare card.

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.

A New Player in the Force

USSExplorer

D42/100
A soldier wins an afterlife lottery and is given the chance to live again in another universe — the Star Wars galaxy — with access to lite-Gamer powers. Beginning almost four thousand years before the Prequels, the story follows an original character navigating a far-future iconic setting. The RPG system is present throughout but gradually pulls back as the character and world take center stage over the course of the long-running narrative.

Dressed To Kill

Crown Fall

D42/100
In an impoverished border town with a dwindling population, Gwen Tailor aims to change things. She is the daughter of the Seamstress class, stitching with speed that borders on magic — but armed with a giant piercing needle, she is also a monster slayer. At the town's core lies a dungeon, the source of all local despair and decline. For every kill, each creature's pelt, shell, and exoskeleton becomes both protective armor and escalating power. Descending with her friends — a butcher's daughter and a young blacksmith — Gwen will make a harrowing discovery about the true roots of her town's decay.

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation

TheDreamForger

D42/100
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing — there's so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses for my next life. Honestly, it feels like I'm stuck in an RPG. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth as I die an ignoble death. But I won't complain — even when it's dangerous and painful, I love life. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I'll even become strong enough to overturn fate. It might take a few hundred lifetimes, but what's the rush? I have all the time in the world.

October, 2042. In two weeks, a nine-mile-wide asteroid will end the world. Robert Osmark — billionaire tech genius — has been preparing for this moment since the asteroid first appeared, building digital salvation in the form of an ultra-immersive fantasy VRMMORPG called Viridian Gate Online. Robert intends to lead this new world himself. But even with every advantage in his favor, he faces powerful opposition. A rogue faction of global elites led by a US Senator is recruiting dangerous allies, undercutting Robert's efforts, and hiring VGO's most deadly assassins to seize power for themselves. To win, Osmark must viciously crush all opposition before his plans turn to ash.

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.

Fate Alchemist

Felix Taylor

D42/100
The demons won. The world ended. Wulf, one of the last survivors, is sent back forty-one years to prevent the apocalypse — starting over as a first-year at Istalis Academy with his advancement reset. There's a catch: he's been given a seemingly useless crafting class instead of his former fighter abilities. No one can know, or he'll be expelled. But the more Wulf learns, the more he suspects the class change is no accident — perhaps what mankind needs isn't just his future knowledge, but someone whose legendary class can change fate itself.

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.

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.
