Jeff the Game Master

Jaime Castle, Troy Osgood

D36/100
Infinite Worlds is the most popular VRMMORPG on the market, and Game Master Jeff Driscoll has a very boring job: help players deal with the occasional bug and ensure they give a five-star rating. He's not allowed to actually play — something about conflicts of interest. But when the game's AIs unexpectedly issue a Rogue Patch, Infinite Worlds becomes a buggy mess and Jeff's role radically changes. He finds himself as the only Game Master around, dealing with more problems than he can handle — and wielding the ability to manipulate the game's code in ways that appear to be magic.

Cooking with Disaster

Dakota Krout

D36/100
In a post-apocalyptic world where food and water are poison, Eli 'Nacho' Naches has survived as a fearsome assassin — until he is sent to the chopping block. Instead of dying, he is sent back in time to his younger body with all his memories intact. Nacho has no interest in saving the world. He just needs to save the people who matter to him. But convincing his college-age friends to listen to a battle-scarred killer, plan their builds, and secure a safe location proves to be an epic quest all on its own.

Summoner's Ascent

Dice

D36/100
Ashton was dragged away and forced into subservience when the System invaded, made to handle all the little tasks a terrible creature couldn't be bothered with. When that world fell to the Apocalypse, Ashton returned home to just moments after he left — but he couldn't escape. The System followed him. As Earth closes in on its end, Ashton, armed with nothing but the knowledge forced upon him, becomes a Summoner. Elementals, spirits, fairies, even demons — he will call them to his side, defeat the monsters swarming Earth, and put the Council responsible for bringing the System in its place. Most importantly, he intends to save humanity in the process.

We don't go into the Forest. We don't go into the Sea. When Wake Utono's world is shattered by the Sea Titan, the young sailor vows to stop at nothing to take his revenge. As he begins his journey into Knighthood — fighting alongside warriors and alchemists who turn the Titans' own power against them — he begins to suspect that the systems of Falrok War College are hollow imitations of something far more powerful. With humanity on the brink of collapse and the vast domains claimed by the Titans' spawn, Wake must start from nothing but a single axe. But the paths to power are broken. The system of progression is missing. So what does it take to wake a sleeping god — and what else might he disturb in the process?

The Nth Awakening

MonkeySleepsWell

D35/100
Eighty percent of D-Grades are dead within five years — and Marcus just tested F. Heir apparent to a military dynasty of a thousand years, groomed since childhood to be their saviour in mech combat and politics, his future collapses in a single verdict. Stripped of his name and family, classified as expendable, he is thrown into the Federation's lowest ranks with one purpose: stand on the front line and bleed long enough for the real soldiers to finish the job. He has no cultivation advantages, no hidden master, no system-granted blessings — only a half-functional interface that shouldn't exist, and a body the machine refused to classify. In a galaxy where power flows to those who obey the system, Marcus is about to discover what happens when you break every rule.

In exchange, he receives passive abilities that could make him unstoppable — if he survives long enough to use them. The Gold Rush 2.0 is on, the competition is murderous, and Liam's only edge is learning to turn passivity into dominance.

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.
