Applied Cultivation

CatVI

B63/100
They called him trash — until he put the Dao under the microscope. When demons slaughter his new family, computer scientist Johan — now reborn as Yu Han — survives by pure wit. He gains access to the mysterious system that all cultivators use to defy the heavens. But it won't be enough. Betrayed and stripped of everything, his only path forward is joining a prestigious immortal sect. Before he can even step inside, he slaps the faces of two powerful young masters. Yu Han should have no path forward — but in his past life he was a corporate warfare consultant who treated business rivals like failed hypotheses to be mercilessly eliminated. Trash talent? He'll prototype his own. Watch this blood-thirsty fatty sprint toward immortality, bringing algorithms to sword fights and treating cultivation like a hostile takeover.

Hocus, Pocus, Hypothesis: A Scientific Isekai

Persimmon

B63/100
The Scientist cared only for the Truth. His brilliant career was thrown into doubt because fools could not see what was before their eyes. When he reaches too far in his search for undeniable proof, he dies. Against all reason, he wakes up — reborn in a coven of witches, in a world where magic is king and science is unknown. But the System is the key to finding the Truth. Now going by the name Orion Voidwalker, he will use his scientific knowledge to reach heights previously thought impossible, even as chaos spreads through the Cyril Magocracy and not everyone is content to watch him discard dogma in his quest.

Lost in Love

OrderMaster

B63/100
My name is Alexander Halesworth, sole heir to a prestigious ducal house — or rather, that's what my identity is supposed to be now. Not long ago I was just a humble store clerk. But shortly after getting into an unfortunate road accident, I woke up in the setting of an infamous Otome Game called "Lost in Love: A Heart Throbbing Romance in a Fantasy World~!" This situation wouldn't be too bad, except I ended up in the body of the worst possible person: the villainess' older brother. Alexander has great looks, near limitless wealth, and a thoroughly rotten personality. In most of the game's endings I end up dead or exiled. My family also falls to ruin. Well, whatever. If that's the hand fate dealt me, then I just have to prevent the bad ends. And if I have no choice but to deal with this family's baggage, I may as well enjoy myself while I'm at it.

House of the Dragon: Aegon's Infinite Class Tree

Deep__aureate

B63/100
When a game developer from modern-day Earth wakes in the body of Prince Aegon Targaryen — the long-forgotten third son of Baelon the Brave — he expects a swift, bloody end in the shadows of his more famous brothers. But fate has other plans. Aegon remembers everything: dragons, fire, politics, and the unfinished class tree system he'd been coding at the time of his death. Somehow, it lives within him now. Each decision grants him access to traits and abilities no Targaryen has ever wielded: [Pyromancer], [Demon Knight], and secrets yet to be unlocked. As the Seven Kingdoms groan under the weight of scheming lords and rising dragons, Aegon walks a knife's edge — with a mind sharpened by two lifetimes and power drawn from beyond the known world.

Behemoth

lkal92

B63/100
Cyril, the affable third prince of the Wandering Phoenix Tribe, awakens in the desert with no memory of his recent past. Destined to serve as the future Librarian of his people, he never expected to become the vessel of Behemoth, one of the World Titans — celestial beings ancient as the world itself, viewed like the eruption of a volcano or a tsunami capable of washing away an entire nation. More interested in reading romance novels than conducting war, Cyril seeks only to return to his family. But he soon discovers he is not the only anomaly to arise, and not everyone has such peaceful intentions. Armed with an unfathomable reservoir of mana and the spirit of a colossus, Cyril must stand tall through the upheaval of the old world and the birth of a new one.

The Saga of the Nothing Mage

J. P. Valentine

B63/100
"There's nothing there." Those words were nearly a death sentence for young Declan. Without detectable mana, there could be no studying at the sky-piercing Pinnacle Towers, no great monster hunts, and no following in his legendary father's footsteps. He would be a cripple. But when a terrible accident forces him to flee, Declan learns the true nature of his mana. Just because it doesn't resonate at any known frequency doesn't mean it isn't magic. Just because it can't be seen doesn't mean it isn't there — and Declan is beginning to discover just how dangerous the Nothing can be.

An Ideal World for a Sociopath

Colin Parker, Oleg Sapphire

B63/100
A system arrives on Earth, and half of humanity dies and becomes zombies while the other half must try to survive. For Varg — a sociopath with no ties and no regrets — this brutal new world feels almost tailor-made. Following Varg across a system-driven apocalypse, the series sends him through zombie-infested cities, alien worlds, interdimensional challenges, and encounters with gods, vampires, elves, and worse. Each new threat is another test the system is all too happy to provide.

Eve was about to make the greatest mistake known to women — texting her ex Claire — when Hell invaded New York. Heaven answered with the Blessing: a System that grants survivors classes, levels, and skills. Eve got Shapeshifter, which sounded incredible until her starting forms turned out to be House Cat, Golden Retriever, and Galapagos Tortoise. Her ex has already made a deal with Hell. Her guardian angel wants her to survive. Her devil has excellent branding. Eve is a hacker — and if the Apocalypse wants to be a game, she will find every exploit in the System and make it everyone else's problem.

Sowing Season

Mike Caliban, Wolfe Locke

B63/100
A quiet, slice-of-life LitRPG about farming. The chance of a lifetime started with a gift: the inheritance of an old farmstead outside the town of Summer Shandy — overgrown, overrun with field monsters, and badly in need of a tilling. But for Jason Hunter, it's a start. Farm life doesn't come easy, though. With a mountain of chores ranging from monster extermination to watering crops, Jason will need to manage his stamina, build up his endurance, and maintain a social life if he's going to live the quiet life in the country.

Becoming the Dark Lord

Mark Evenhart (aturato)

B63/100
The System integrated Earth into a multiverse of gods, monsters, and dungeons. Half of humanity answered the call. Some return stronger. Others never return. Thirteen years ago, Luke's mother entered the Tutorial and vanished. Now Luke faces the same trial — not for glory, but for answers. What should be a beginner's test becomes a death sentence when he falls into a forgotten dungeon floor where monsters are scarce, supplies are limited, and the only way out is a temple hanging over an abyss, guarded by a sleeping demon. Every puzzle kills. Every step risks his life. No buffs, no tricks — just a knife and the raw will to survive. When the light fades and the body breaks, Luke has only one choice: embrace the darkness and be reborn.

Rise of the Last Summoner

Todd Herzman

B63/100
Four hundred years after demon hordes were unleashed on the world of Elaria, humanity survives in a single valley — the Valley of Auld, its last bastion. Elian is markless, unable to activate skills, one of the poorest workers in the salt mines outside the city walls. The wagon that carries the miners is locked not to keep them in, but to keep the demons out. When the wagon is attacked and every marked guard is slain, Elian discovers he is not markless at all — he is full-marked, with access to all four classes: Infuser, Invoker, Necromancer, and Summoner. Summoners brought the demon hordes in the first place, and their bloodline has been purged. If anyone learns what Elian truly is, he will be killed on sight the moment he reaches the city.

Her enemies should be warned: Nora was no pushover before discovering her powers.
