Duskbound: a Monster Hunter LitRPG

EmergencyComplaints

A80/100
An incident in his childhood left Velik an outcast with a racial subtype that thrives at night and a unique class called [The Black Fang], which focuses on just one thing: killing monsters. For ten years he has been gaining levels and sharpening his skills on thousands of monsters infesting the wild frontier, keeping a lonely stretch of towns safe. This year has seen an explosion in the monster population beyond his ability to handle alone, drawing the interest of a professionally licensed monster hunter who seems more interested in investigating Velik than hunting. With a partner whether he wants one or not, Velik is free to finally explore the deep wood — where he believes the source of all monsters resides. Every answer leads to new questions, and not even Velik knows the truth of what happened on that fateful day.

The Lone Wanderer

PathOfPen

A80/100
Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and mocked as a waste. When his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter those expectations. Exploring strange realms full of danger, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and treasures stolen from advanced civilizations. But mastering alchemy, outmaneuvering scheming Great Houses, and surviving invading gods will test whether a so-called waste can truly reach the stars.

Priam

A79/100

Many monsters, gods, and races compete for the eighth throne — and now it is Earth's turn. Humanity begins its integration through a deadly Tutorial. Priam has the luck and misfortune to finish it first: his reward is a form of pseudo-immortality, but as his civilization's champion he is transported to Elysium, the most dangerous world the Concepts have created. Nine out of ten champions die there on their first day. Fortunately for Priam, he has many lives.

Father of Monstrosity

Dosei

A79/100
Jakob was only seven when he was summoned to Helmsgarten's sewers by the Fleshcrafter calling himself Grandfather. For seven painful years, Jakob studied the depraved craft of his monstrous mentor, before being let loose on the populace of the metropolis. With the vague task of creating the ultimate being to rival Grandfather's greatest creation, he is left with nothing but the flesh-stitched robes on his body and the loyal wight Heskel. Together, the pair explore a civilisation utterly alien to them, raised as they were in the dark and damp of the city's underbelly. Along his journey, Jakob constructs monsters and constructs, dodges the noose of the guards, joins the Adventurers' Guild in his voracious hunt for knowledge, and parleys with Demon Lords and Great Ones. Many who believe him a weak child suffer eternally for their arrogance. And in the end, even Grandfather must face the realisation that his creation is greater than he could ever have imagined.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated Earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills — turning concepts from fiction into fact. For some, it feels like living out a dream. For Daniel, it's closer to a nightmare. Cracks in the dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons, and discovers there's only one way out: kill or be killed.

RE: Deity - The Breath of Creation

Infamous Goose

A79/100
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, the created universes will be able to interact with each other — and be at the mercy of the Void. One of those souls finds the work of a deity far from easy. Between raising up gods to defend the realm, guiding mortals, accidentally creating a xianxia world, and dealing with divine children, there is always more to be done. Now it's clear why gods on Earth worked in mysterious, invisible ways: there's simply too much to be done.

Morgan Mackenzie had a very bad day. First at work, then at home — and then her bathtub fell through a portal to another world, with her in it. Now she's stranded thousands of miles from any sort of civilization with nothing but the bathtub and a lace puffball scrubby. But she learned magic, so that's sort of nice. Now if only she could find some clothes. This is a bigger story than just one main character fighting the monster of the week — multiple characters and perspectives populate a fully realized world.

A man given a new lease on life finds himself among Pokémon. From his memories of the franchise, he assumes this world runs on convenient fate, rule of cool, and cheesy friendship — just like any anime. Unfortunately for everyone else, he's one hundred percent right.

The Greatest Archmage To Have Ever Lived

Prismo101

A79/100
Sael the Great helped defeat the Corrupted One four hundred years ago, ushering in the longest era of peace the world has ever known. Since then, most of his companions have died, the world moved on, and Sael retreated to a cloud in the sky — thought dead by all but a few, fading into legend. Until a young woman named Ilsa, a descendant of one of his earliest companions, comes looking for him. Whispers from the West speak of settlements vanishing overnight, swallowed by a creeping entity that even the mages cannot explain. The stories sound familiar — echoes of an evil Sael thought gone forever. To investigate, he'll need to traverse lands that have forgotten his face, dodge the cults that formed around his legend, and perhaps train a student or two — remembering that life has much more to offer than smoking on a cloud and longing.

Carlos was an ordinary software engineer on Earth — until he died and found himself in a fantasy world of dungeons, magic, and adventure. This new world offers many fascinating possibilities, but it seems unfortunate that the skills he spent much of his life developing will be useless, since they don't have computers. Then he notices something strange: the spell incantations read like source code. Magic is programming?

Foxfire, Esq.

Noa (October)

A78/100
When people with superpowers emerged during the Cold War, world governments treated them like any other weapon: objects to covet, hoard, and control. Becoming one of these "Moonshots" was a curse — heralding conscription, incarceration, or worse. Years have passed since Naomi Ziegler's own conscription ended, years spent rebuilding her life and becoming the first ex-superhero lawyer in the country. But as long-buried troubles return and blur the lines between right and just, Naomi must make the choice she's long deferred: whether to hold onto the comfortable life she's built, or reach out for the justice she has long been denied.

Low-Fantasy Occultist Isekai

Persimmon

A78/100
Nicholas Crowley is used to scraping by in a world where magic is dying. The modern age has left the arcane behind, and the few remaining practitioners fight over scraps like starving dogs. While performing a ritual, something interferes and his soul is ripped from his body. He awakens during the Class ceremony as Nick, a kid living on the frontier of the Green Ocean — a seemingly infinite expanse of trees brimming with rare ingredients and powerful creatures. Mana is abundant here, and the omnipresent System allows for feats he had once thought impossible. But legends walk the land, and gods require their due. Will his experience as an occultist be enough to navigate this wild new world?

Beware the Trickster

Mangowo

A78/100
Life was perfect: naps in sunbeams, stolen snacks, and expertly timed accidents to torment her favorite human. So when licking a strangely alluring gemstone suddenly flooded her fuzzy head with memories of her former human existence, Clover — now a fox — simply filed it under "things to not give a damn about" and went back to napping. Fate had other plans. When the curtain of her pampered ignorance was ripped aside, revealing a world steeped in ancient horrors, eldritch hungers, and flesh-warping occult progression, she reacted with remarkable calm. Because the real horror was anything threatening her nap-snack-torment equilibrium. Now this newly enlightened vulpine has a simple goal: get stronger — not for glory, but purely to achieve peace through overwhelming power.
