PokeBun

RavensDagger

A79/100
A lost and terrified Buneary stumbles into the Ruins of Alph and, in his desperation, calls upon forces beyond his understanding. What appears is a girl he suspects might be human — though Broccoli Bunch has strange powers and the ears and heart of a gentle Lopunny. They join forces, determined to grow stronger in a world of strange Pokemon and stranger friends, where old mysteries need uncovering and new enemies need to be pounded into the dirt. Chaos Cuddles Cauliflower isn't going to end as just some ordinary Buneary — he's determined to get to the top, one hop, skip, and bounce at a time. The story is told entirely from the perspective of the people and Pokemon Broccoli meets, never from her own point of view.

When Erik, seeking revenge for the unjust treatment of his parents, dares to subvert the rules of Epic, he and his friends find themselves up against the ultimate masters of the game: the Committee.

An HFY Tale: Drop Pod Green

Guardbro's Field Desk

A79/100
Coming off humanity's first multi-planet war, the Inner Dolcir Coalition barely survived — thanks in large part to Earth. Rhidi, a Kafya and member of the dominant IDC race, served in a specialized force during the war's final phase. With the war over and her mother pressing her toward marriage and children, Rhidi signs up for a joint military training program: a statement to the Humans that IDC members are their equals. The program turns out to be far more than Rhidi bargained for — not only in challenge, but in the freedom she has always craved.

The Thirteenth God

Django Wexler

A78/100
Taking down a god is not easy. In order to escape a prison at the edge of the world, con artist Kalsis Chiroptera agrees to do the impossible: overthrow the Princeps, the immortal ruler of all mankind. It seemed like a good idea at the time. With only a handful of survivors by his side — plus a cheerfully murderous golem girl — Kal has a long way to go before he is ready to challenge an empire. He will need allies, weapons, warships, and an ancient mecha that feeds on the bones of the world to grow stronger. A military progression fantasy featuring magitech, sandships, dark comedy, and a group of losers on a long road from dodging cannibal bikers to building a fleet of starships.

A great race faces extinction and tries to leave a legacy for the future. Young races build on the ruins of the old.

Primer for the Apocalypse

Braided Sky

A78/100
Emie Mercer was one of several billion people who survived the apocalypse and was introduced to a new reality where magic was commonplace and everyone had access to a system. Unfortunately, the rest of Emie's family wasn't so lucky. As far as world-changing events went, Earth's reintegration into the Atlantis Alliance was remarkably tame — the post-apocalyptic universe mirrored the wildly popular deep-immersion VRMMORPG Atlas Online, allowing those who played to quickly adapt to their new reality. More than a decade later, Emie manages to create a formation that relies on her Time and Space affinities to return her consciousness to the past. When she arrives nearly four years earlier than expected, she realizes she has a unique opportunity to prepare and train for what is coming. A regression story focused on preparation, growth, and the cost of making herself exceptional — without relying on perfect foreknowledge.

After humanity nearly made themselves extinct with a "Terran brand oopsie," billions of Terrans awaken from stasis and set themselves upon a galaxy teeming with alien life, each writing their own story among the stars. Stories of compassion, anger, revenge, and justice. But mostly stories of Terrans looking for the one thing all beings desire: friendship in a lonely universe.

Miles is a human refugee, fresh from an Earth that has recently fallen into the Spiral. Unlike most of his peers, he's chosen to pursue a specialization in magic, and has just taken his first step on a journey that will take him to the highest and lowest points in his strange new universe.
