The not-immortal Blacksmith

Vast-Listen1457

Tower of Damnation

Tristan H. Brown

D39/100
Earth had been destroyed by Devils, and as a result humans were transported to Paradise — a new world far vaster than their original planet, chaotic yet still a home. Then the cataclysm struck. Only one man could face the imminent disaster, but he failed. Bradley Crowe let down all those who relied on him. As his eyes closed for the last time, he was given a second chance.

Quiet Life Of The Mute Archmage

P_Magno

D39/100
Rescued from the slums by a kindly Sage, Molly discovers a talent for magic unlike anyone else's. While others chant to shape Root and Structure, Molly sees the symbols in silence. When she awakens her true Affinity — [Epilogue] — she learns her power doesn't just use archmage-level magic. It ends it. Even the gods fear the silence of Epilogue. When her mentor dies, her final wish is simple: hide, enroll in the academy, graduate, find a party, and do not end up alone again. Disguising a divine-level threat as an average hero-in-training is hard enough — harder still when the heavens are watching, waiting for the one mortal who holds the key to their undoing. In a world where only those with a voice are heard, can a mute girl defy the pantheons?

Lich Lord

Levi Werner

D39/100
Reincarnated in the body of a Lich — an enemy to all — that's just problem number one. Zeke was only playing the villain to blow off steam. Now he's stuck in the body of one. Trapped in a hostile world, he must flee his former guild into a holy kingdom ruled by the Church of Olattee. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. His power is gone and he must start over. He is still a lich, and he still has his weapon, Mercy — more powerful than even he knows. The real question is: is he now a villain or not, and will he survive long enough to find out?

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D39/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.

Rules of Biomancy: A LitRPG Healer Fantasy

Buller

D39/100
For almost half a century, Elijah kept his Core sealed — staying in the shadows, running a small alchemy shop on the outskirts of the slums, staying weak but staying safe. When he finds two people half-dead in an alley, both too young to have had a chance at life, he removes the chains from his magic to help them. An older MC with plant-based magic steps back into the light, taking on the role of teacher to two otherworlders given a second chance. A story of political drama and light LitRPG elements set in a secondary world.

License to Cultivate

MTalon

D39/100
Chang-li may be a humble scribe, but he dreams of becoming a cultivator. When a ghost's legacy gives him a chance to follow that dream, he seizes it — defying the hidebound Empire and its vast array of rules and customs as he masters lux and perfects himself. But a cultivator needs more than just power. He needs a sect. What starts as a scheme to avoid punishment becomes far more as Chang-li and his friends find themselves reviving the ancient Sect of Morning Mist and its lost techniques. A slave can win his freedom. A princess can discard her upbringing. The sect offers a chance to claim what's forbidden — if they can avoid entangling marriages, official scrutiny, and the wrath of more powerful enemies. Cultivation with a tower-climbing twist. Character-driven and full of action and intrigue.

Path of the Hive Queen

Tejoka

D39/100
A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness, climbing out of an egg with no memory — only human knowledge that doesn't match her body. She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

Thera: The Mystic Turtle

MelasDelta

D39/100
The Mystic Turtle stands alongside Elder Dragons and Spirit Dryads as a creature of legend — timeless, immortal, solitary, drawing power from its own soul. Yet that power is not easily won. As Thera will discover, the life of a baby Mystic Turtle is full of trials and tribulations. She will scour ancient sunken ruins, face the dangers lurking in the depths of the sea, and perhaps one day grow to surpass even legend.

D39/100
An alien cultivator arrives on Earth to claim its Heavens, only to find a world completely bereft of cultivators or a Heavenly Realm to claim. Unwilling to leave empty-handed, Lei Zhaohui sets out to force the planet's cultivation until a Heavenly Realm is formed — and if none rise to defend it, he will take it for his own. Nicole Firen is a young woman who would simply like her world to start making sense, but finds herself thrust into a position of importance as the planet begins to change around her.

Agent of the Realm?

Andur

D39/100
Seria is the goddess of life and death — fathered by Chaos, born by Order, and the first ambassador to leave the realm of Dedessia to make contact with other realms. Dedessia is a harsh place where even immortals, demons, and gods struggle to survive, yet its people carved out a great kingdom worth being proud of. When Seria ventures out as their representative to make first contact with neighboring realms, she receives a fireball to the face. Her wrath should be the least of their fears — they should hope her parents never pay them a visit.

A Demon's Core

Luesatora

D39/100
It is a strange experience, waking up without any idea of who or even what you are. But that is precisely the situation for a pink, sentient, crystalline orb waking up in an old, dilapidated building in the middle of a seemingly abandoned city. While investigating its surroundings, it accidentally summons a small demon-like creature. She seems friendly enough — so why not summon a few more? Unfortunately, they find themselves caught on the sidelines of a devastating war that threatens to pull them in. Mind your own business, avoid danger, don't pick fights. Easy enough — except that even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble has a way of finding you.

The Sorcerer's Saga

Rain Oxford

D38/100
In a world where sorcerers practice only dark magic and wizards practice only light, Ayden Dracre — youngest of seven sons in a family of notorious sorcerers — has a fundamental problem: he is very bad at being bad. Every spell meant to cause mayhem goes comically wrong. When his family finally loses patience, Ayden is given one chance to prove himself worthy of the sorcerer name: defeat the greatest wizard in all the lands. The catch is that he has no idea how to fight with magic — and no desire to hurt anyone. Surviving his quest will require the most unlikely allies imaginable.

At her side, a soul reborn from another world finds himself reincarnated as the powerful manifestation of an ancient prophecy: der Schwarze Ritter, the Black Knight. Together, the two face dire poverty, Acacia's fatal sickness, the looming threat of her noble bloodline, and a horrific war — fighting their way up from the lowest shadows toward something that feels like a life worth living.

9 to 5 Monster Hunter

Adam Sampson

D38/100
Five years after a failed alien invasion, Earth maintains a fragile peace with orcs, elves, and dwarves. When a necktie-wearing orc walks into the magitek exosuit repair bay demanding the best rune mechanic on Earth, Luke is volunteered for interspecies employment — leaving Earth to repair advanced magic mech suits for monster hunters. Then he straps into one of those suits himself and discovers a taste for danger and profit. With a handpicked crew of battle-hardened monster slayers, Luke dives into deadly missions one monster core at a time. But the System of the World has other plans, granting Luke a powerful magic class and making him a player in a far greater game. Navigating ever-growing monster threats, secretive elvish plots, and cutthroat corporations, Luke's only hope is to get stronger than anyone seeking to use him. They want a pawn — he plans on clearing the board.

The Cozy Abyss

Harmon Cooper

D38/100
There are three levels to the afterlife. At the top lie the Celestial Plains. At the bottom is the Chasm. And in between lies the Underworld — where brave soldier Sylas Runewulf finds himself after he dies. Following a mysterious blue prompt, Sylas journeys to the town of Ember Hollow to breathe new life into a quaint local pub. Dubbing it "The Old Lamplighter," Sylas hopes it will be a safe haven for weary souls. The prompt reappears with a warning of an impending invasion, and as Sylas works to decipher the message, he faces challenges, makes friends, and builds a community around his humble pub — one he must soon defend, or they'll all face a fate much worse than death.

A Destined Journey

Cathfach

D38/100
A lost soul drifting in the Void floats too close to a new universe and finds itself drawn in, bound to a new life, and reborn as a human. Born as Robin, with no memory of his alien heritage, he lives normally until unlock day — when the System informs him his soul is far from local, and that with his heritage comes magnified experience gain, the echo of everything that was lost. Potential can be a double-edged sword. Viewed as a valuable tool by his social superiors, Robin must protect his family and retain his freedom while walking a tightrope, particularly when the jealousy of others throws carefully laid plans into disarray. A slow-paced, crunchy LitRPG with a single male lead who works largely alone.

World of Komax

Han Yang

Lennox chased criminals across the galaxy until a scrambled wormhole pulled him from everything he knew and dropped him in a fantasy world with a system interface. On Komax, two factions wage endless war: the lizard-folk of the Scaly Faction against the elves, dwarves, and humans of the Ordinatus Faction. Lennox's years of training translate to impressive stats and legendary gear — but he isn't interested in being anyone's hero. Fate, however, has other ideas.
