Loser of Tarinath

S. Zaplosky

D42/100
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.

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.

Tower Apocalypse

Cassius Lange, Ryan Tang

D42/100
When a colossal tower lands in the middle of a city, Devin Cain finds himself transported along with 99,999 others to a fantastical world called Gaea, ruled by floating demi-gods who claim humanity must prove Earth is worth saving. Gaea is entirely controlled by the System — a sarcastic, level-hungry intelligence that grants magical powers, strange classes, monsters, and loot, and forces players to compete in events with no clear endgame. Wielding a cursed katana that hungers for blood and souls, Devin must climb the tower and uncover the truth behind their abduction.

The Imperial Initiative

James Hunter, S. R. Witt

D42/100
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.

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.

Lewd Dungeon

Stuart Grosse

D42/100
Sixty-five million years ago, an asteroid disconnected Earth from the galactic MANA network and the System. When a passing science vessel discovered an entire planet of sentients had grown up without the System, a repair team was sent — but they were killed and trapped by the locals before finishing the job. That changes when a certain President visits Area 51 and pushes a button that brings the System online. This story follows a complete scoundrel of a human being who is forcibly converted from a man into a Dungeon Core — because humans are simply too common in his area. What does a rotten bastard do when thrust into the role of a dungeon? Exactly what you'd expect.

Metamorphosis Online

Michael Anderle, Natalie Grey

D42/100
Metamorphosis Online is a fully immersive video game where players compete for spots in the Global Top 10 — ranks that actually pay you to play. Gracie isn't in it for the money at first. Broke, single, and stuck dealing blackjack, she's just blowing off steam. But before she knows it, she's intervened in a generations-long war between the kobolds and the fae, founded a ragtag guild, and discovered that her unusual math abilities work in startling ways inside the game. The developers don't like it one bit.

Universe's End

N. Francis

D41/100
The end of the universe came and went. An intergalactic war was waged, and the bad guys won when they pressed the big red button. Yet instead of the end of the story, Rory — a nobody in the grand scheme of things — finds himself almost completely alone in a fresh universe, one of eight precursors chosen almost entirely at random. With only an odd World Spirit for company, Rory must survive and build an entire universe from scratch. This is not the story of a plucky hero daring to challenge the gods of old. This is the story of how one of those gods came to be — their rise from a nobody in a brand new universe to a name known, sometimes loved, sometimes feared, throughout all of existence.

Meet Jason — or is it Apple? No, definitely Pel. Reborn as a Celestial Fairy after a deadly traffic accident, Pel finds himself in a new world filled with an unknown mix of danger and wonder. He must come to terms with losing who he was while figuring out who he needs to be, struggling to survive against the monsters that want to eat him. Along the way, he learns about himself and his new family, finds new friends, and discovers the secrets of the world he now calls home. Thankfully, some Self Help is only an intangible, floating window away. How hard is being a healer, anyway?

We Lease The Kraken!

Osamaru Ta

D41/100
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.

K. H. Nulls

D41/100
They measure mana in drops. Tyler wields an ocean. Tyler Thorn worked all his life to rise above the hand he'd been given — his reward was constant agony and six figures of medical debt. Now humanity has been abducted to the multiverse, and he wakes in alien ruins, barely able to stand and surrounded by vicious monsters. He accepts a Curse just to survive, one that forever seals his magic within his body and renders most forms of power inaccessible to him. But the upside is an enormous mana pool. With a body that never tires, a mind that never dulls, and near-infinite magical energy coursing through his veins, Tyler will grow faster than the legends about him can form.

The Exalted Mage

Kairami

D41/100
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.

Indomitable Prey

OCRAuthor

D41/100
Lamb dies. That part is simple. Waking up naked and hogtied in a forest full of armed strangers is another matter entirely. Within hours he is given a knife, a few rushed directions toward distant civilization, and left alone in mountains filled with creatures powerful enough to kill him outright. If he wants to live long enough to matter, he will need to grow stronger fast. Power is measured in levels and skills, and the combat class he needs can only be claimed at level fifteen — if the wilderness doesn't kill him first. So he runs, climbs, and learns to turn terrain, instinct, and sheer stubborn endurance into his only real advantages. Far beyond the horizon, powerful figures are already beginning to take an interest in the God-Touched newcomer.

The City and the Dungeon

Matthew Schmidt

D41/100
The City is an immense metropolis of crystal spires and wondrous magic. Beneath it lies the Dungeon — a vast underground world, source of endless treasure guarded by grotesque and deadly monsters. No one knows where the Dungeon came from, or why. Anyone who dares its dangers must first be transformed into a delver, a quasi-immortal creature defined entirely by numbers. Yet the immortality offered is illusionary: without consuming the crystal found only within the Dungeon, a delver will inevitably die. One young immigrant braves the Dungeon to send money home to his family — and finds much, much more.

At twenty years old, Nicholas has lived his life to fulfil a vow.

Not all plans survive. When heathen invaders upend everything, Nicholas swears another promise and finds himself alone in the wilderness of the old continent, surrounded by enemies both monster and human. Drawing on ancient powers that may finally provide the answers he sought, he must tread carefully — because he may turn into something that even monsters fear.

He accidentally picks what seems to be the most useless power on the list. Now he has to survive a world of magic and monsters with a seemingly worthless ability — and figure out how to make it work.
