Body and Soul

Andur

A80/100
The whole room is fully ablaze when the fire turns blue and even hotter. And still the hands remain on the rune, ignoring the sizzling of flesh. At the edge of unconsciousness, the screams of people taken by the Inferno filter through the window. A story set within a larger multiverse of interconnected books.

As Good As Dead

Underboss

A80/100
What happens when a reincarnation goes horribly wrong? Oran Farrow is not who he used to be. The soul inhabiting his body was once a sick man on earth, suffering from chronic pain and despair. He prayed for an end to his torment, and death answered. Now in a different world, with a body and name that are not his own, he must learn to navigate a world of monsters and magic. Dealing with demon cultists, a lovesick necromancer, and worst of all, being a shambling corpse, would be hard for most people. But after the life he's had, Oran couldn't be happier. Nobody has it as good as the dead.

Reincarnation of the Death God

Unvex

A80/100
For thousands of years, the cycle of fate repeats: the Death God is reborn, only to be slain by a Hero chosen by the Goddess of Life. Having reached the peak of power, Nox the Death God accepts his death — but it was all a part of his plan to break the cycle once and for all. By altering the reincarnation process to retain his memories, he wakes in the body of Eli, a recently-murdered orphan. With a portion of his death magic and vast mana intact, he takes the first step: become a Healer and enroll in the Holy Academy of the Church of Life — the very organization that killed him — while hiding his true identity and dealing with bandits, monsters, and the mysterious Avatars of Death. His final goal: transcend the power of gods and escape his inevitable fate.

The Demon Queen Wants To Live. [Yuri, Progression Fantasy]

TheLastSurvivor

A80/100
Lysanthia, the strongest Demon Queen, spent centuries trying to die — not because she wanted death, but because it was the only way to break her chains. Her reincarnation spell worked, mostly. She woke in a forest nearly a thousand years in the future, in a body not quite hers, stripped of her overwhelming power. A world without a System. Without Classes. Without the Gods watching her every step. Her reincarnation is complicated by the presence of Ash, the Hero who slew her. Thrust into a world almost completely alien yet somehow recognizable — where power is etched in Ink — she must start from nothing. And for the first time in eons, some people show her kindness for no reason at all. That might be harder than starting over.

l-Ryn-l

A80/100
Grief took Julian's family. Fate gave him another life. Reborn as Julius Von Hyperius, he awakens in a world where power is measured in tiers, skills, and the will to keep climbing. Surrounded by ruthless nobles, terrifying monsters, and an unknown system, Julius has only two choices: transcend or die. With a relentless spirit and questionable decisions, he carves his own path — each breakthrough bringing new foes, higher stakes, and the terrifying truth that transcendence demands sacrifice.

Luri is dead again. Which means it is once more time to meet old friends, share new stories, and drink things that are likely lethal to anyone who isn't already deceased. In between life and death, in between earning accolades and honing skills, there is nothing to do except wait for the next try, and share moments with the only people who can be important to you. Luri is dead again. But even this won't last forever.

Death After Death

DWinchester

A80/100
When Simon dies, he learns that there is more to combat than lightning reflexes with a controller, and the path to becoming a hero is more brutal than he can imagine as he descends into The Pit. A dark time-loop isekai story with roguelike elements, exploring common tropes in a different light. The story is built around character development — starting slow and never stopping as the protagonist improves, death after death after death.

The Lone Wanderer

PathOfPen

A80/100
Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and mocked as a waste. When his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter those expectations. Exploring strange realms full of danger, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and treasures stolen from advanced civilizations. But mastering alchemy, outmaneuvering scheming Great Houses, and surviving invading gods will test whether a so-called waste can truly reach the stars.

RE: Deity - The Breath of Creation

Infamous Goose

A79/100
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, the created universes will be able to interact with each other — and be at the mercy of the Void. One of those souls finds the work of a deity far from easy. Between raising up gods to defend the realm, guiding mortals, accidentally creating a xianxia world, and dealing with divine children, there is always more to be done. Now it's clear why gods on Earth worked in mysterious, invisible ways: there's simply too much to be done.

A man given a new lease on life finds himself among Pokémon. From his memories of the franchise, he assumes this world runs on convenient fate, rule of cool, and cheesy friendship — just like any anime. Unfortunately for everyone else, he's one hundred percent right.

The Undying Immortal System

G Tolley

A79/100
Living in a world of cultivators is like walking on the edge of a knife. Su Fang arrives completely unprepared, knowing nothing and lacking any skills — destined, by all accounts, to die. Fortunately, Su Fang is immortal. Not because he cannot die, but because when he does, he un-dies. His System returns him to the start of his journey after each death, rewarding credits he can spend on anything — but only enough to return him to the point where he fell. To advance further, he must rely on himself alone. A story that is equal parts time loop and xianxia, with a focus on cultivating the self as much as cultivating power. Not about saving the world — about living life in an unfamiliar place where everyone seems to want you dead or enslaved.

He immediately begins planning for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him back. To succeed, he must unite the kingdom and uncover his killer's motivation—using as many tries as it takes.

Aleron Kong

A79/100
Telos is a world at the center of the Universe — a bright jewel wrapped in a lattice of realities, home to gods and demons at the beginning of a new age. Remy is a newly risen deity struggling to survive in a Battle Royale where the consequences are worse than death and last longer than damnation. He cannot live without his tribe of worshipers — their strength is his, and his is theirs. Other tribes want nothing more than to feast on their flesh and consume their power. Gods of ancient pantheons and demons of forbidden nightmares compete in a timeless game where the stakes are the souls of every living being.
