Hidden Class: Pacifist

Cassio Ferreira

C54/100
Roth used to be a successful gamer with a short fuse and a nasty temper — until his rage cost him his friends, job, family, and freedom. After four years in prison, he leaves as a more peaceful man. But sins have a way of catching up. When Roth finds himself locked inside the new MMORPG AstroTerra with no way out, his refusal to hurt anyone or anything inside the game becomes both his greatest constraint and his defining principle. His journey through a sci-fi fantasy cyberpunk world becomes a story of how a man can achieve success on his own terms without compromising what he believes.

Quiet Life Of The Mute Archmage

P_Magno

C53/100
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?

The Emperor Without An Empire

Drew Royston

C52/100
They stole his empire, his cultivation, even his name. Their mistake was leaving him alive. Now going by Shen Taros, he carries seven hundred years of experience in an eighteen-year-old body with the spiritual capacity of wet parchment. A god-like cultivator will hunt him within the year. In the meantime, he is opening meridians one painful breath at a time, learning alchemy from a terrifying mistress, and picking entirely avoidable fights with powerful people who consider themselves beyond justice. Between all of that, working in a decrepit fish warehouse, and dodging loan sharks, he is making remarkable progress. They wanted this Emperor permanently retired. He intends to disappoint them.

Roadtrip - Madness Re-Incarnate #2

Travis Bagwell

C52/100
Nyx was born Hollow — an empty vessel in a world of spirits, a condition that should have meant death. Somehow he survived, driven by stubbornness and a touch of madness. In a previous life, he did something reckless: he sent himself his own memories, throwing them into the Flow from which all spirits return. Now those memories have found him, raising questions he can't stop asking — was reincarnation real, would his half-baked plan actually work, and could his life possibly get any worse? It could.

Dao of the World Walker

MylanWrites

C52/100
Chen Yang died once and was reborn as a helpless infant in a world ruled not by science but by cultivation, where enlightenment shapes reality and the Dao governs all things. His death and rebirth also awakened a strange ability: the power to travel between worlds — not as a conqueror or hero, but as an observer and learner. Rather than chasing power through violence, Chen Yang walks a rare path: scholar first, cultivating understanding through crafting, quiet contemplation, and deep exploration of each realm he visits. Every world offers new truths that shape his growing comprehension of existence itself.

Farming Livia

Xander Boyce

C52/100
Matt is running from a life he no longer wants, and he has found a solution: logging into the newest game, Livia, where he gains chances he cannot get anywhere else. He heads to the frontier town of Tallrock and, as soon as he gains his class, the newly minted Cycle Mage has one goal — farming. Given a starting parcel of virgin land, Kastigan must decide what to grow, what animals to raise, and who to hire — all while surviving in wild monster-infested territory, dealing with a Legion Commander who hates him for no apparent reason, and uncovering lost relics from a forgotten time.

Blade's Rest

Tom Watts

C52/100
Blade & Sheath is a fully immersive VRMMORPG where some players complete quests and fight monsters — and then there's Josh. He needs the money, so when he gets a job as a town builder, he can't believe his luck. The land is untamed, he starts with no skills and no resources, and two fellow builders are his only help. Together they'll build Blade's Rest — a haven for weary adventurers to relax after a day of questing. A cozy, slice-of-life town-building LitRPG where fighting isn't the only way to level up.

L. Eclaire

C51/100
After his first college party, Dallion wakes up alone in a small medieval village in the middle of nowhere. He needs to figure out where he is and how to survive a world filled with magic and monsters. Then he must uncover the secrets of being "awakened."

Countless miniature worlds to explore — and so much time.

Sigma 16

Erios909

C50/100
Talia, daughter of a wealthy conglomerate CEO, joins the droves of new human explorers combing through uncharted space to make her own mark on the universe. Her resilience is tested when her brand-new exploration corvette crashes onto an uncharted planet, Sigma 16. Equipped with a state-of-the-art exo-suit, a semi-operational colony bootstrap system, and a sometimes-annoying AI companion, Talia sees the crash as an opportunity. She sets out to build her base, explore the expansive dunes and jungles, and uncover the planet's resources and secrets. But Sigma 16 may not be as uninhabited as it first seems — and a potentially hostile alien species with equally advanced technology is watching.

Reincarnated as a Brewer (Against My Better judgement)

Julian Merrow

C49/100
Alric wakes up in another world with all the usual assumptions already in place: a sword, a system menu, and the quiet expectation that he'll start acting like a hero. He doesn't. Instead, he starts paying attention. Coins circulate too long to make sense. Measurements are imprecise. Beer is sour, but everyone drinks it anyway. As Alric tries to find his footing, he brings habits from a more systematic world: watching how things are done, tracking what's missing, and assuming that inconsistencies point to underlying rules. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they reveal reasons things were never fixed in the first place. A slow-burn isekai about logistics, brewing, and what happens when methodical thinking collides with a society that functions — imperfectly — on its own terms.

No Place for Hope

M. E. Cuartas

C48/100
In a cosmos fractured into human subspecies — shaped by extreme worlds and locked into brutal caste and race-purity hierarchies — an RPG-based System reigns supreme. Its second law forbids all automation: every machine, every spell, every tool must be guided by a living hand. Hope is a street-raised orphan from a dead-rock wasteland. Hurled onto an Earth-like planet full of grass, clouds, and color he has never seen, he must heed the ping of system messages, hunt and be hunted, and level up in a place built to test him. The planet-side survival arc gives way, in time, to the spacefaring world of feudal space pirates that defines his fate.

Department of Dungeon Studies

JPwrites

C47/100
Nox is an alchemist by trade, but he dreams of magehood. Fate dealt him unfavorable cards, yet he has learned to compensate with scholarly pursuits, tenacity, and sheer grit — qualities that catch the attention of Woodson University's scouts. The Department of Dungeon Studies values the mind and its ability to overcome all limitations. After all, they stripped the divine of their titles, turning gods into Dungeon Lords and their domains into Dungeons. The department will give Nox the tools to achieve his ambitions, and his limitations will push him to the forefront of arcane discovery. More immediate challenges remain, though. Nox lacks the means to pay the university's ridiculous tuition. Only alchemy and smart business deals will earn him the hundreds of gold coins he needs.

The Factory Must Grow - Book 3: The Wheels Must Turn

NorskDaedalus

C46/100
Constructing a portal is a monumental undertaking, yet the Forerunners have guided dozens of civilizations to that end and know exactly what is needed: thousands of laborers, hundreds of brilliant artisans, dozens of powerful mages. As the culmination of years of work, they tear a hole in the fabric between realities and travel between worlds. There is simply no reasonable way for only five people — prepared for a standard Isekai scenario yet now stranded on a hostile and alien world where mere survival is a challenge — to ever build a portal. But reasonable people don't become Forerunners.

Adventurers seek dungeons for riches. Heroes storm great fortresses. Gods clash far above. Arek cooks lasagna and tops it with a dash of finely chopped basil. An orc who has seen more than his fair share of fighting, Arek wants nothing more than to spend his days cooking and away from the chaos of combat. But when Ming and her group of adventurers hire him as their full-time chef, his plans of avoiding violence crumble. He longs to leave his blood-soaked mistakes in his past — but old friends and foes have different ideas.

The War God Saga

Aaron Crash, James Hunter

C45/100
When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a mission off the coast of Cyprus, he stumbles onto a long-abandoned island — and into an age-old battle between good and evil. The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. Jacob's arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the darkness at bay. Now, wielding a sacred gem containing Ares' power, he must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold — or Hades will unleash his army of the damned.

Fate Alchemist

Felix Taylor

C45/100
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.

DWinchester

Lucas is a dick, but you would be too if you died in a meth lab explosion and found yourself in a fantasy world. Now, with only his ruthlessness and an ever-increasing body of alchemical knowledge, he has to make his way in this new world — because being poor sucks no matter where you are. He has no idea what's going to happen, but he isn't dying again, because he already knows the afterlife is pretty much bullshit.

Rise of the Skillmaster

S.T.J

D44/100
In a modern Korea where fifteen percent of humanity has awakened as Manaborn, rifts tear open across the city and the strong rise as Rifters. Sam Jimin, a poor orphan scraping by on the outskirts of Seoul, pinned everything on his Awakening. He received Rank E-1 — no skills, a dead end. Hidden behind that humiliating result, however, is a Unique Skill no one has ever seen: Skillmaster, the ability to create and edit skills at a cost only he can pay. With nothing left to lose, he gambles everything on it — fighting his way up through academies, guild politics, and rising threats, skill by skill and battle by battle.

Initially driven by a desire to right his kingdom's evils, Ren will increasingly struggle to maintain his own humanity as he grows in power. Whether he becomes the hero who saves them all or the monster that consumes them remains to be seen.
