In a world of magic, monsters, and blue screens, Phac must fight to survive armed with wit, brawn, a dynamite temper, and crab-themed powers. He will befriend sharp-tongued orcs, clash against manipulative masterminds, and stand up for what he believes in — or become crustacean fast food on day one.

M. E. Cuartas

Worthy Core

DaScoot

D34/100
Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet. In this new world, Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged.

The Daily Grind

Argus

D34/100
Working overnight tech support, James Lyle discovers a stairwell in his office building that contains not stairs but a seemingly infinite landscape of supernatural cubicles. Unwilling to stay away, James and his trusted friends begin exploring this endless maze — where a few real-world minutes become eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and stranger interior design. In a realm that lets them level up in fax machine repair and pay the rent with dungeon loot, the adversaries are quickly becoming dangerous. And whatever James is uncovering in the office dungeon may not stop at the entrance.

Dungeon Noble

J. Parsons

D34/100
Ascension is a blessing of the gods — a chance to strive for glory. Jake Khesh is an orphan yearning to be more. When the gods grant him the chance to Ascend, he seizes it, only to find himself saddled with an unfamiliar Class and a mysterious Patron. With limited knowledge and Triarchy Inquisitors hunting anyone like him, Jake must hide what he is while gaining enough power to reach the next Tier. Dungeons offer wealth and power, and conquering them is at the core of his Class. Unlocking the truth of his origins matters just as much as fame or fortune.

JustInTime

Burt Wrenlaw

D34/100
Justin Thyme is not a good man, nor one destined for glory. He was meant to die in obscurity — just another level 82 Templar about to be chewed up by a horde of monstrosities clawing at humanity's last enclave. One short conversation with a time-splitting eldritch horror later, and he finds himself flung five years into the past, right when Earth was first chosen to host the 9,947th Gladiatorial Games. Justin must help save the world from crumbling under the twin pressures of monsters and murderers. But standing out too much risks drawing the attention of the other eldritch horrors watching Earth's struggles for sport. It's all about making the right connections, sowing hope, and exploiting the System with his borrowed ability to tweak time.

Dalliance Rather

D34/100
Twelve-year-old Dalliance Rather is expected to become a brutal laborer like his father.

Power accumulates gradually and extracts a price, but found family finds a path forward. A literary, pitch-dark Victorian-era coming-of-age story in a LitRPG setting, owing a debt to Mark Twain.

Transformation

Valery Starsky

D33/100
The familiar world collapsed overnight. As the Transformation progressed, disasters struck throughout the Earth — materials changed their properties, new species of flora and fauna appeared, and an alien Game converted our world into a vast dungeon, replacing the previous civilization. However, the alien plans for Earth began to go awry from the very beginning. An ordinary young man stole the bonus for the first gaming action, depriving the invaders of their perk. Now he must navigate a world of fire-breathing creatures, dark elves, money-grubbing dwarves, and powerful dragons — while deciding which aliens to trust, which to fight, and whether to dare rebel against all-powerful invaders.

The Archmage's Second Life as an Introvert

Dragonian

D33/100
No one warned Adolin what the hero's journey would entail — no privacy, no silence, just party members who wouldn't shut up. After a decade of adventuring, he brought the Demon King's castle to ruin. And instead of finally getting his peace, he is reincarnated in another world in the body of a penniless orphan, surrounded by the most exhausting people he has ever met. Broke, weak, and with a mana pool barely worth mentioning, he just wanted a quiet second life. That plan lasted less than a day. Now he must navigate a world where healing magic belongs to the church — and he just used it.

The Legendary Poet

Nejm

D33/100
He needed a sword. The system gave him a pen. Klaid is a former kendo prodigy who treats VR as a ruthless economy, optimizing every second to pay for his mother's medical bills. On launch day, exploiting a lore paradox earns him the one class he can't solve: the Legendary Poet — a power-gamer's nightmare that runs entirely on emotion, the very thing Klaid discarded long ago. Now trapped between a dying mother in reality and a useless class in-game, Klaid must learn to feel again — not to heal, but to turn anguish into DPS. The narrative voice evolves alongside the protagonist as cold logic gives way to something more.

Lazy Loops: An Idle LitRPG

Fiddlesoup

D33/100
Lazlo Yarrow is the most naturally gifted mage at MIRKS academy — and also the laziest. He enchanted his boots to fly so he wouldn't have to walk to class, and invented a spell to hold his eyes open during lectures so he could sleep undetected. Effort killed his parents; they worked the mana-factories until their channels burned out, and Lazlo learned never to push that hard. Then a dragon attacks the academy. People die. The headmaster — Lazlo's uncle — falls into a mana-exhaustion coma. Lazlo casts one desperate spell to save him, and the world rewinds to Monday. The dragon is back. Everyone dies again. And again. He could train like a hero. Or he could do what he does best: find the shortest path between impossible and done.

In the System

Petr Zhgulyov

D33/100
Ivan Susanin, an unemployed techie, is transported by the System to an unknown location along with a thousand other players. He has a spear, basic weapon skills, and 24 hours to earn enough XP to return to Earth — or remain trapped forever. The game takes place in the ruins of a massive city where the undead lurk and goblins raid the outskirts, but the most valuable prey may be the other players. Beyond the local objective is a global one: in the center of the city stands a temple to a fallen god, and until one player captures the Altar, the mission repeats. Ivan must decide whose pawn he'll become — or take the risk of staying independent.

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.
