Steven awakens to a nightmare. Transported to a brutal medieval kingdom on a faraway world, he wakes up as Kivamus — the exiled third son of a Duke, now the newly made Baron of a crumbling village called Tiranat. In a bandit-ridden frontier surrounded by untamed forests, survival is a daily battle and resources are scarce. Yet he sees potential where the villagers only see struggle. He dreams of using his knowledge to forge a new future for Tiranat, fueled by industry. But managing a starving village through the coming winter and navigating the cutthroat world of medieval nobility is just the beginning of a very long road.

Even after the bombs fell, after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagining on one another, after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the protagonist is uniquely suited to deliver it. Rads don't bother him, and people who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. Sure, humans may not like dealing with a face like his, but you can't beat his express rates. A dystopian LitRPG in the vein of Fallout and The Postman.

Surviving the first days of a reality-warping apocalypse, William is a wreck hiding in an attic. The daily acid storms, floating elementals, and bizarre mutated animals are the least of his problems — the apocalypse has rules and a system much like those in video games, and he has no idea how any of it works. Staying alive isn't enough. William will need to bring other survivors together and build a fortification large enough for all of them if he ever wants to strike back at the things that took everyone he loved.

Earth is lost. Driven to the brink of extinction by impossibly powerful Kaiju, humanity survives only in Subterranean Arks deep in the Earth's mantle. Raymond Ryker isn't a hero. He's simply the best surviving pilot humanity has ever known — and he fights not for glory, but to avenge the countless lives lost to the monsters. When a mad plan is concocted to send a human consciousness back in time to inhabit their younger self, Ryker volunteers. But the experiment goes wrong: instead of his teenage body, Ryker's mind is transplanted into a newly hatched Kaiju. Trapped in the body of a monster and unable to warn humanity of the coming cataclysm, he must forge his new form into the ultimate weapon. The mission hasn't changed. Kill all Kaiju.

"Of course I'm a tyrant. I've never claimed to be anything else." — The First and Last Emperor. Solis is an escaped survivor of the Church of the Celestial Heir, a cult dedicated to the end of days. When the System Apocalypse arrives — one the world was warned about in advance — Solis finds himself struggling against his own tyrannical impulses in an effort to do good. A character-focused story of dramatic rise to power, featuring in-depth and unique system mechanics, a pure mage build, and themes of legacy in an apocalyptic society.

Thomas just wants to keep his skin intact during the System integration, and maybe carve out a life more interesting than the one he's had so far. When he steps inside a dungeon, he receives his magical gift: every monster kill drops weapons, mana crystals, and powerful gear. While others struggle to survive in a new world, Thomas begins to build something far more dangerous — an advantage.

Thousands of years ago, humankind was destroyed — but the xenos still worship them as gods. Now alien civilizations build cities among humanity's majestic ruins, and one Empire has learned to harness forgotten human technology to dominate the distant worlds. Eolh is a jaded avian thief raised in the underbelly of a city full of winged xenos. He fought the Empire when it first arrived, but the resistance died long ago. He trusts no one and looks out only for himself. When an unusual heist takes a deadly turn, Eolh must bargain with an android carrying an impossible secret — one that could shake the foundations of the universe.

Yona wasn't always a cat, but she is now, and she's living her best cat life. No silly Quests or Systems are going to get in her way — until they do. Stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight to survive and return to the mainland. Or she could just pig out, nap, and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. One thing she won't do: swim. And that makes escaping the island considerably more challenging. Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up something — as gods tend to do.

The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but the powerful still rule the weak. Those who do not conform are exiled to another world — one that even future technology failed to tame. It should have been humanity's New World. Instead it became a penal colony, a place where the exiled are sent to die. The exiles' gene manipulation grants them something akin to superpowers, but that counts for little against the monsters of their new world. Survival depends on what the land provides, the scraps of failing old technology, and the fragile politics forming between rival clans.

Adam is no one special — just an accountant standing in line at a bakery one early Saturday morning. Unfortunately, fate has other plans when the black cubes show up before he can get his pastries. The cubes are the heralds and guides of the Trials of Defiance, and they've decided that Adam, along with every other able-bodied human adult, is to become a Player in their game. Humanity's future is at stake, and it's all but inevitable that Adam is going to die. Despite everything, he overcomes the first Stage and attains some measure of power — then discovers a way to kill the black cube following him around. The only problem is that killing the cube takes him down with it. Oh, and it also gives him the power to go back in time when he dies. A roguelite-inspired GameLit with infrequent time loops, a weak-to-strong protagonist, and huge build variety across Relics, Weapon Types, Divine Boons, and meta upgrades.

Lots of people get isekai'd, and Matt is no exception. After a quickly resolved misunderstanding with a truck-shaped system assistant, he's sent to Gaia — the garden planet. The truck assures him it's a really good fit. It would probably be right, too, if Gaia wasn't a burned-out wasteland completely devoid of life. Matt has all the system-granted advantages of a LitRPG isekai hero — it's just that he arrived a little late for them to do anyone any good. Now he's starving, wandering a sterilized featureless wasteland that doesn't much care about his improved stats, and searching for a system-issued guardian that might not even exist.

Ilia is a gamer who has spent years chasing escapism. She discovers a game talked about in online forums as the most immersive game ever, made for a cutting-edge VR console: MEAT — a perfectly strange world of living flesh, full of strange details and biohorrific sensibilities. At first it's exactly what was promised. But after she starts seeing things she shouldn't and experiencing the game's systems in far more detail than should be possible, she begins to wonder. When she starts looking for answers, she discovers just how deep the rabbit hole goes — and just how many others may be out there, touched by a place she cannot comprehend. What are the sides to this conflict she can't yet see? What will she become as she digs deeper into what is — and what might be?

Death is an inevitability for all — except Aria. In a world locked in war, with most continents already wiped out before a Great Treaty banned strategic-level weaponry, Aria Crimson finds herself lost. Treated as a weapon by the military since childhood, she has almost forgotten what it was like not to be at war. When a System screen appears before every person on the planet, humanity gains classes, levels, and new powers — just as invaders from another world declare war to claim the planet for themselves. After ten years of fighting, Aria finally has a way out. One that involves even more fighting. As the only True Immortal in the universe, dubbed by the System as Death itself, she must figure out what that means for her future.

Post-Apocalypse America is unrecognizable. Jake survives as the leader of a scavenging adventuring team — a former mage who now follows the strange path of cultivation, taught to him by a mysterious traveler. As far as he knows, he is one of the only people on Earth with this power. Events will unfold that change Jake's life forever. He might even lose his very humanity while trying to do the right thing — but in return, perhaps he will grasp a second chance to save himself and others, to correct the past. He is about to be caught up in something much greater than himself. Will he be consumed by the machinations of greater powers? No matter how terrible the odds, Jake doesn't give up.

Dungeons have torn open across Earth, summoning invaders from alternate realities, waking ancient gods, and empowering humans with levels and classes. The System has issued one directive: whoever reaches level 100 first becomes Earth's new Overgod. A battle royale of worldwide proportions begins — but Basil Bohen doesn't give a crap about the apocalypse. He would rather live in the woods with his monster pets. Unfortunately, people just won't leave him alone.

You wake up in a French hospital surrounded by zombie hordes, armed with nothing but a baseball bat and a map you can't read. Luckily, you have a personal shelter in spacetime.

Combined with an otherworldly system designed to bring out humanity's hidden potential, Sen has watched enough movies to know what to do: survive. He just has to figure out how to stop himself from turning into one of the monsters first.

Elijah Hart is dying — wracked by cancer and weakened by chemotherapy. When the mysterious World Tree extends its branches to Earth, his Seattle-bound flight crashes into the Pacific Ocean and a game-like system takes hold, reshaping humanity's future. Waking up on an island in the Pacific Northwest, Elijah finds himself suddenly gifted with magical powers and an innate connection to the natural world as a Druid — wielding Ethera and able to take on the forms of powerful beasts. The influx of magic has rendered most technology useless and thrown humankind back into a preindustrial age. With each trial he faces, Elijah becomes healthier, stronger, and more powerful. But will it be enough to save himself, let alone the world?

At twenty-one, everyone manifests a symbiont — a creature invisible to all but its host that shapes their destiny. Conrada "Conrad" Dorrien harbors a dangerous secret: she alone can see everyone's symbionts. Revealing her gift could trigger a buyout of her contract, separating her from family and placing her at the mercy of ruthless corporations. As manifestation approaches, Conrada hopes to follow her father into academia. But her extraordinary connection to the symbionts means she's destined for anything but easy obscurity. A single word — Classified — and she becomes the latest acquisition of Aquila Operations, a boutique corporate consulting firm known for unorthodox methods and a reputation for always getting the job done. A low-fantasy dystopian corporate-feudalism story with grey characters, a queer-normative setting, and a slow-burn romance.

With monsters knocking at the door, Drew scrambles to prepare supplies, fortify his home, and convince his family of the coming devastation.
