A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

Acaswell

A75/100
When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teenager from the Denver suburbs. She woke up in a magical alternate dimension inhabited by monsters and governed by a mysterious System — where people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the System isn't Alice's only challenge. An underground organization called the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions. If they find out about Alice, they will stop at nothing to extract the secrets of her world by force. Now Alice must pursue her scientific endeavors, learn to harness the magic around her, and uncover the Society's ultimate intentions — and how she ended up here — before it's too late.

Mythshaper

Eon R. Solara

A75/100
Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path. Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell — and even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn earns attributes, points, and power through stubborn hard work. Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God. None of this should have mattered to someone living on the fringe of the empire — until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.

Storm's Apprentice

imperfect-tense

B74/100
In the Antorxian Empire, magical talent can be a curse. Dorian hoped he'd never set eyes on a Reeve — one of Antorx's sorcerer-knights — but as mage scouts they were ruthless, thorough, and impossible to hide from. On the day they arrived in his small village, his quiet life as a scribe's apprentice was over. He would be taken to Windshriek Academy, where harsh conditions and cruel punishments would either turn him into a loyal sorcerer for the Empire, or destroy him. There were no other outcomes, and no magical talent was permitted to foster outside of Antorxian control.

Law of the Jungle

Vasily Mahanenko

B73/100
Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but shapes the lives of men. Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality — yet this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental truth: power grants privilege. What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world? Is it his destiny to reach unimaginable heights, or to vanish into the abyss of mediocrity — just another forgotten face in a crowd of millions?

My world faced its end, but I refused to perish with it. So I intercepted a summoning ceremony from another world. One moment — my summoner was trying to summon a demon. Better to break the contract and do my own thing... or not? Why is Mrs. Sacrifice hugging me? And why am I suddenly a child?

Ten Thousand Fleets

David Niemitz (M0rph3u5)

B73/100
Arc Sandhurst will become a mech pilot, even if it kills him. After his sister's ship is destroyed by the Pirate Queen of Nepenthe with all hands lost, Arc enters the Imperial Mech Academy on the deathworld Vidako to get revenge — the only path available to the son of a silk-worker who needs the academy's enhancements just to pilot a mech. First he must survive disagreeable roommates, hazing from upperclassmen, the friendship of an imperial princess, and the steaming jungles of Vidako. But the Imperium Stellarum will need every good pilot it can get — because empires are built on a foundation of blood, and the sins of the first emperors are about to come due. Lost fleets lurk on the edge of known space, the ruins of ancient races are spread across long-dead worlds, and enemies thought defeated are gathering their strength once more.

Wolfman Warlock

Dakota Krout, James Hunter

B73/100
Recent college grad Sam King expected a backpacking trip across Europe as a graduation present. Instead he gets a three-month stint in an ultimate immersive gaming experience. As a lifelong geek and outsider, it sounds like a dream — until he discovers the Mage's College has a very different definition of fun, one involving blisteringly strict regulations, aristocratic hierarchy, and a pay-to-play attitude. After crossing the College, Sam finds himself on the run with a back-talking book that is far more than it seems, wielding a class no one has ever heard of. Navigating deadly college politics and a looming war with the barbaric Wolfmen, he just might find the adventure he was looking for.

Neviara

B73/100
College is supposed to be an exciting time to meet new friends and make lifelong connections. For Kaitlyn, talking to people has always been hard enough — let alone romance. Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that. But even here, affection is not easily earned. Beset by grueling classes, stinging loss, and her own faults, Kaitlyn's hopes for change slowly give way to a fear that she'll never escape the endlessly repeating semester. Anything is possible with enough practice. It's much easier to make a good impression the tenth time around.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror

Actus

B72/100
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe — unfathomable, utterly evil, and fond of being called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic regardless. Starting his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy — but when he's assigned to room with a strange girl whose magic even Henry is wary of, things get complicated. He sets out to become a powerful mage while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that has created a teenage persona, and a roommate far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles with the ramifications of the monster within him, a disturbing truth emerges: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane — and Damien may be the only one who can stop them.

Villainess Of Crimson

Mangowo

B72/100
Elidranthia Shadowstep was everything you'd desire in a fictional villainess — her tongue as lethal as her concealed daggers, a connoisseur of chaos, a leader of assassins, and an unhinged lover of all things stabby. When an ordinary girl finds herself stuck in the stilettos of this bloodthirsty character from a novel, she's dead set on avoiding the gory trail. Sure, she's never hurt a fly before, but when your new body is a walking arsenal, keeping calm and carrying on gets a whole lot harder.

Ascension of the Primalist

NB.Dravenlord

B72/100
Seth was just a commoner from the outskirts, someone who could only dream of the Wielders' world — a realm of Ranks, attributes, and spells forever beyond his reach. Until the day he awakened as a Primalist. To escape a life of misery, Seth enrolls in one of the nation's elite academies, only to find himself stepping into a society rotting with injustice. Equality of chances is a lie; power is inherited, not earned. Fortunately, his new class feeds on danger rather than privilege: the riskier the hunt, the greater the gain. To rise, Seth must abandon caution and seek fights where survival is never guaranteed — and become the strongest predator the wild has ever seen.
