Factory of the Gods

Alex Raizman

D33/100
After one too many failed inventions, Julian hits rock bottom — and then gets summoned to another world where gods and monsters roam. His streak of bad luck continues immediately: rather than touching the Godcore directly, he lets his smartphone absorb it. Now he has to figure out how to make the Godcore and his phone work together to help the people who summoned him survive their upcoming annihilation by the mad God of Chains. Julian has a plan: he's going to build a factory in a medieval world.

Respawn Condition: Trash Mob

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D33/100
Every time it dies, it respawns as the weakest monster on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives — every one remembered, every death felt. But unlike the other monsters trapped in the endless slaughter beneath an unbeatable hero party, this nameless soul keeps its memories. And with memory comes something dangerous: the will to escape. After countless reincarnations, it finds something no monster was ever meant to see — a hidden passage leading upward. To reach it, the soul must climb from the bottom up, mastering new bodies, exploiting glitches in the dungeon's rules, and outsmarting heroes who have never lost. Something in the dungeon wants it to stay. Something in the darkness is watching. The longer it climbs, the more it begins to question what the dungeon truly is — and what it is becoming.

Unsated

A. Vael

D32/100
Elias Mercer is plagued by a curse — an unseen compulsion that forces his hand toward action, responsibility, and doing the right thing even when it costs him. In the mundane world it is a slow poison, an invisible leash. But when Earth is integrated into the vast multiverse and humanity is dragged into a brutal Tutorial, Elias sees opportunity where others see catastrophe. His curse finally has a name, and more importantly, a way to be free of it. While others struggle to adapt, Elias twists curses into weapons, forces arcane energies to obey through sheer will, and grows at a pace others struggle to comprehend. Power is the only path to freedom, and Elias wants to be free more than anything.

Building World Peace (And Democracy) with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Bimbanana

D32/100
Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.

His directive is simple: help the people and spread the Goddess's name. The reality is anything but simple.

Villainess Joan of Arc

OnceWritten

D32/100
Steve tried as hard as he could to beat his favorite game, The Hundred Years War, as his favorite general, Joan of Arc. After hundreds of failed runs he finally did it — with a small exploit, but still number one in the world. The game asked for his name, and the moment he gave his real one, he found himself sucked into the game as Joan of Arc. Trapped in a world where Joan is forced to fight battle after battle through countless lifetimes, Steve's only hope is the exploit that won him the game. But when he finally finds it, he's faced not with the end but a whole new beginning — a completely different game where he has no idea what's going on. What the hell's a Villainess?

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer

AdvonKoulthar

D32/100
To be taken to another world — isn't that what nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their knowledge of how these situations usually go and seize control of their own destiny. Unfortunately, this man arrived as his new character in the VRMRPG Underworld of Armok — at Level 1, with no status window, and no grand power to ease the way. In safety there are few benefits; only by taking risks far beyond his level can one proceed. Transported to another world, he wants to do good and be a hero. There's just one caveat: he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.

A temple monk on her way home for vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus by the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, setting off an entirely unexpected chain of events. A kitsune whose death moved a goddess to pity is revived as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded. Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being.

Alissa considers it a curse — fused with a succubus, she involuntarily seduces everyone around her.
