The Exlian Syndrome

Seth Ring

S86/100
All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian — just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he's a dishwasher: no powers, no money, and even fewer friends. An encounter with a dying woman changes everything, granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps. But the Exlian are voracious and many, and there's more to Mark's new powers than just leveling up. As the pressure mounts, he realizes the Exlian aren't the only sinister threat lurking within the city.

On his last chance before the obelisk, Jay receives not just a class, but a Legendary one: the most desired class of all. Wealth, status, and power come with it — along with unexpected responsibility, small-town politics, and secrets his mentor has kept about his past that could destroy everything.

Victor of Tucson

PlumParrot

S85/100
Victor can't wait to get out of high school and start his own life on a sports scholarship. That plan is derailed when he steps into his abuela's house and somehow ends up in a world filled with fantastical meta-humans, walking talking devils, and creatures one usually needs serious pharmaceuticals to see. Fanwath is no dream — it's a nightmare. Sold into slavery as a pit fighter, Victor learns his new home is controlled by the System, and the only way to get ahead is to fight, kill, and collect the precious Energy that means the difference between a long life and an early grave. His stats start at a solid zero. Lucky for him, no one in this world has ever met his kind before — which means they have no idea what he's really capable of.

The Many Lives of Cadence Lee

vladerag

S85/100
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl. She had her college classes, her job, and a nice boyfriend. Then a mugger accosts them — and Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl with that kind of wound would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But then she opens her eyes again and learns that death is not as permanent for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn, again and again, each time stronger and with new abilities. The catch: any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each.

Love Addict's RPG V1.00 - The Tutorial Girl

Punished Kom

S85/100
Oliver Chase has two things going for him: an addiction to dating sim RPGs and a spotty mental health history. Stuck in a dead-end job with a coworker he's into but can't bring himself to approach, he wakes up one day to what appears to be a complete psychotic breakdown — system notifications, menus, and stats injected directly into his life. Even stranger, he starts earning Love Points through romantic interactions, which can be spent on skills ranging from passive buffs to reality-warping abilities. Working multiple angles is the only way to earn enough — between his chill coworker, his evil boss, and the girl who ruined his life. Best to start with the tutorial.

Meanwhile, people back in her own world are reading and commenting on the manga as it updates — so she must always stay in character. With death lurking at every step, Amy must claw her way into the main story by any means necessary: scene-stealing entrances, manufactured drama, a possibly fabricated tragic backstory. Whatever it takes to become a fan favorite before the end of the world arrives.

Dungeon Core TV

Michael Anderle, Michael Todd

S85/100
The aliens didn't conquer Earth — they negotiated exclusive streaming rights instead. The powerful Voltaxians, whose empire is fueled by a monopoly on mana, offered humanity a deal: allow dungeons controlled by intelligent dungeon cores to be set up on Earth to generate mana, and they'd share the wealth. Now dungeon exploration is the world's hottest career, broadcast around the world and across the galaxy via Dungeon Core TV. Luther Miller, a finance guy who had no interest in dungeon diving, is about to discover that family honor and intergalactic revenge can intertwine in the dark depths of the dungeon.

The Mortality Doctrine

James Dashner

S85/100
Michael is a gamer who spends almost more time on the VirtNet than in the real world — a total-immersion virtual reality that's equal parts playground and addiction. But when reports emerge of a hacker holding players hostage inside the VirtNet, leaving victims brain-dead, the government comes looking for someone who can fight back. They've been watching Michael. But going off-grid means venturing into back alleys of the system human eyes have never seen — and risking the line between game and reality blurring forever.

Something went wrong during his transfer — he was ejected from the training program and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano. Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden survived, only to find himself alone in a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and a Support-based Healer class with no offensive capabilities whatsoever. None of his spells do damage; he can't even pick up a weapon. But Thaden quickly discovers something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive — because he seemingly will never run out of Mana.
