Foxfire, Esq.

Noa (October)

A78/100
When people with superpowers emerged during the Cold War, world governments treated them like any other weapon: objects to covet, hoard, and control. Becoming one of these "Moonshots" was a curse — heralding conscription, incarceration, or worse. Years have passed since Naomi Ziegler's own conscription ended, years spent rebuilding her life and becoming the first ex-superhero lawyer in the country. But as long-buried troubles return and blur the lines between right and just, Naomi must make the choice she's long deferred: whether to hold onto the comfortable life she's built, or reach out for the justice she has long been denied.

Transported into a tutorial with his family, Christopher has to fight to survive while keeping his loved ones alive. After three grueling months inside a tutorial where tragedy and death seem to follow him, Chris struggles for power and the chance for revenge.

Primer for the Apocalypse

Braided Sky

A77/100
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.

Eldritch Exorcist

Hastum

A77/100
Humanity has forgotten the ancient ways of magic and the occult as mana disappeared from the world over millennia. Once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids, and powerful rituals have become superstition. But the universe never stays constant. Magic begins to return. Mythical creatures crawl out from their hidden lairs, Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and Halloween haunted-house parties turn into genuine horrors. The world slowly descends into chaos. For Samuel — last remaining member of an infamous wizard family known for their strange deals with Eldritch gods — this is a breath of fresh air. Following in his ancestors' footsteps, he embarks on a path to the pinnacle of dark arts. The exorcist business is about to boom, but whether that is good news for the rest of the world remains to be seen.

Song of the Gift-Giver

Selkie

A77/100
When Merlin sundered the world to separate the magical from the mundane, he made a small mistake: he copied every mundane body but not their souls. That night, they rose as undead — and the world has never known peace since. Camelot is now an institution for teaching fine young wixen about magic, and it is not a safe place to learn. Felix has never held a wand or cast a spell — until Paracelsus, the Immortal Alchemist, breaks into his home to tell him he's a wizard. Meanwhile, Erik Morsin, groomed to be the next Duke of Ireland, is a member of the most hated family in King Arthur's nation. Four other students round out a group whose lives will intertwine at Camelot — though only five can bond as a coven. A mild LitRPG set in a magic school, planned across eight books.

Edeshei

A77/100
At 28, Aoi thought she had her life figured out — until her decade-long marriage ended with a handshake, a custody battle over a rice cooker, and her ex walking off with the cat. Now freshly single and armed with nothing but a janky webcam and a dream, Aoi reinvents herself as Ketsusaki, a demon-themed VTuber with a love for snacks, spite, and cursed karaoke streams. Between tech disasters, bizarre fan interactions, and collaborations with VTubers who actually know what they're doing, Aoi stumbles her way into internet fame — and maybe even healing — one chaotic livestream at a time.

In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery they brought peace to a land on the brink of destruction.

Hannah has a routine. Wake up, shower, school, work, sleep. A perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. But that's all she thinks they are — nightmares — until one night they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away. A story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergency, and a whole lot of trauma.

Department of Otherworld Rescue

ScottWarren

A76/100
Each year, teens around the country are spirited away to other worlds to fight on their behalf. One government department has been empowered to bring them back.

Barely getting his squad to safety with the aid of the Department of Otherworld Rescue, Cole joins as an elite operative: venturing into dying, desperate worlds to retrieve stolen children and teens. These worlds run on strange rules enforced by vindictive gods and omniscient systems, filled with monsters, demons, and worse. But playing in their sandbox lets Cole and his team share in their rewards — rewards that could elevate even an ordinary soldier into a one-man army.

Avo was born a weapon — a slave to his instincts and his masters, made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when he gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy. To free the world from its chains, he must ascend the megacity and challenge the tyrants who usurped the gods.

Trinity of Magic

Elara

A75/100
Zeke was born into obscurity at the very bottom of a world where magic defines worth. The gap between his low birth and true mastery seems unbridgeable. Yet he refuses to accept his place — even as the path ahead is littered with those who tried and failed before him. A slow-burn progression fantasy built on a hard magic system grounded in solid principles rather than game-like point allocation. Power here is earned through understanding, not shortcuts.
