At the District One Invitational, a rookie eSports team defied all odds and reached the finals, earning worldwide acclaim.

Lots of people get isekai'd, and Matt is no exception. After a quickly resolved misunderstanding with a truck-shaped system assistant, he's sent to Gaia — the garden planet. The truck assures him it's a really good fit. It would probably be right, too, if Gaia wasn't a burned-out wasteland completely devoid of life. Matt has all the system-granted advantages of a LitRPG isekai hero — it's just that he arrived a little late for them to do anyone any good. Now he's starving, wandering a sterilized featureless wasteland that doesn't much care about his improved stats, and searching for a system-issued guardian that might not even exist.

One moment of bad luck, and a modern man wakes up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation — with a reputation so terrible that even the best PR team on Earth couldn't rehabilitate it.

And his first disciple just happens to be a reincarnated monster from ten thousand years ago with an incurable poison he can cure with a custom creation. To earn Creation Points he must raise disciples, and to raise disciples he must first rehabilitate an image built entirely on infamy. These really are some crappy starting circumstances.

Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection and togetherness, set in the universe of Stray Cat Strut.

Getting isekai'd into a gameworld full of waifus was supposed to be the dream. Unfortunately, the mysterious black-robed figure who did the summoning grabbed the wrong guy, and now the protagonist faces waves of monsters intent on terrible things. The game turns out to be a gacha, which means desperately earning money to pull summons, building fortifications, furnishing a tower, and gearing up — all while grappling with the existential horror of gacha economics. The necromancers who built this game are going to pay. A base-building, summoner-focused isekai with no harem, featuring tower defense mechanics and dark humor.

The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to desperate existence in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula — its fall not a possibility, but a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis, a history professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house, has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, shifting alliances, and military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where intrigue and diplomacy achieve as much as a raised army, battles are won through strategy rather than superpowers, and no character is safe from the crucible of war and politics.

Power of friendship? Getting stronger when enraged? A powerful monster sealed inside you by your father? That wasn't me. I was the arrogant youngster who got punched in the first panels of the shounen manga I was reading. I wouldn't have even remembered his name — if I wasn't stuck in his body.

Cole and his team are but men facing unimaginable odds. Even so, they may yet prove history's truth: that the greatest heroes are always just human.

Out on the frontier of a new continent, the wizard Lori and her group of settlers try to build a community in a land actively hostile to intelligent life. With their wits, their will, and their newly built Dungeon to protect them against the Iridescence — the deadly growth that makes life inhospitable beyond the borders of their demesne — they should be fine. If they can survive the lack of infrastructure. And the deadly beasts they need to hunt for food. And idiots who don't understand what settling somewhere actually entails. And dragons. Using structural engineering, the scientific method, logistics, and the dark art of personnel management, Lori and her newly dubbed lord Rian must solve the persistent problems of shelter, sanitation, food storage, and keeping the colonists from making terrible decisions.
