KILL ALL KAIJU

HeroGuy

B72/100
Earth is lost. Driven to the brink of extinction by impossibly powerful Kaiju, humanity survives only in Subterranean Arks deep in the Earth's mantle. Raymond Ryker isn't a hero. He's simply the best surviving pilot humanity has ever known — and he fights not for glory, but to avenge the countless lives lost to the monsters. When a mad plan is concocted to send a human consciousness back in time to inhabit their younger self, Ryker volunteers. But the experiment goes wrong: instead of his teenage body, Ryker's mind is transplanted into a newly hatched Kaiju. Trapped in the body of a monster and unable to warn humanity of the coming cataclysm, he must forge his new form into the ultimate weapon. The mission hasn't changed. Kill all Kaiju.

The Spoken Queen's Swarm

TheDudeFromCI

B71/100
The Vex are a monstrous swarm—man-eaters feared across the world and killed on sight before they can grow and consume everything in their path. Rythica is one such monster: a hive queen whose egg was smuggled into a human city and raised in secret by unlikely guardians. Grown up without ever meeting another Vex, Rythica wages a constant internal war as brutal alien instincts clash with the politics, strategy, and mercy she has been taught. As she approaches maturity, the world can only hope that compassion is something that can be learned—because a Vex never forgives and never forgets.

Sexy Steampunk Babes

Bluefishcake

B71/100
Born into a world where men are outnumbered by women five to one, where airships travel the skies and great beasts stalk the seas, William Ashfield has one desire: freedom. In a feudal society where women rule and men are treated as playing pieces in the great games of noble houses, freedom is difficult to attain — especially when one desires it for more than just themselves. But with tensions growing in the Kingdom of Lindholm and civil war brewing, opportunities may arise for a man born with knowledge of another life and technology completely alien to this world.

Second Life as a Soldier

Soldier_of_Avalon

B71/100
He died a nobody. Now he's reborn in a body beaten and left for dead — no family, no food, no future. In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn't just respected, it's survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war. Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life. The road ahead is long and unforgiving — but with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater: growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.

Tinea and Leah

Eleeyah

B70/100
Tinea had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught her how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties — but not much else. She ran, crossed an ocean, grew up, and discovered the world. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, she fought to be happy. Then the aliens invaded her neighborhood. Smoking rifle in hand and still coming up short, she made a life-ending choice — and was rewarded beyond her wildest dreams through DNA-changing Vanguard science. Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection and togetherness, set in the universe of Stray Cat Strut.

Ivil Antagonist

RavensDagger

B70/100
Ivil Antagonist has everything a woman could want: power enough to blot out suns and turn worlds to molten hells, a fleet of warships, and the fear of an entire space-faring nation. But she is quietly growing tired of being at the top. There is no lonelier place than the summit, especially when you have killed all of the competition. And so Ivil takes a great risk, asking a powerful oracle one simple question: where can I find true love? A Warhammer 40K-inspired romantic comedy featuring an overpowered villain protagonist, space pirates, and quite a lot of cute stuff.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

Theodorus Sideris

B70/100
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.

Death is an inevitability for all — except Aria. In a world locked in war, with most continents already wiped out before a Great Treaty banned strategic-level weaponry, Aria Crimson finds herself lost. Treated as a weapon by the military since childhood, she has almost forgotten what it was like not to be at war. When a System screen appears before every person on the planet, humanity gains classes, levels, and new powers — just as invaders from another world declare war to claim the planet for themselves. After ten years of fighting, Aria finally has a way out. One that involves even more fighting. As the only True Immortal in the universe, dubbed by the System as Death itself, she must figure out what that means for her future.

Thrust into Tenria's realm of magic and steam engines, Cole discovers a power beyond anything he has imagined. But his new world may not be so different from the old one, and the stakes remain the same: there are people who depend on him, people he might not be able to save. 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.

Manifest Fantasy

DrDoritosMD

B69/100
In a world of swords and magic, no one expects an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter. Transferred to Area 51 to babysit a dusty relic, Captain Henry Donnager made peace with a career of raking sand and motor pool Mondays. But when a team of scientists unlocks a portal to the fantastical world of Gaerra, Henry is thrust into command of Alpha Team — an elite military unit tasked with exploration and diplomacy. To gain local trust, they join the renowned Adventurers Guild. It turns out modern firepower handles fantasy monsters just fine, and the Guild doesn't care how the monster dies, only that it does. Quest by quest, Alpha Team rises through ranks meant for wizards, all without a drop of magic. Every victory pulls them closer to the secret at the heart of Gaerra: who built the gateway, and why?

Mr Reese

Five decades later, humanity's progress is stunted and Integration Officers monitor everything.

Deathworld Commando: Reborn

RangerFrank

B68/100
Commander Kronos was not considered human — he was a weapon, grown in a tube to be the perfect soldier for his species. When he experienced genuine emotion for the first time, humanity eliminated him. He was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery as Kaladin Shadowheart, a dark elf, and given a second lease on life he initially refused to accept. It took a near-death experience and hard-won growth, but Kaladin finally committed to honoring a promise to his former comrades: to give this new life an honest try. A reincarnation progression story focused less on power fantasy and more on a former weapon learning what it means to be a person.

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

B67/100
The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest. Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion. Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn't ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn't matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage — Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn't starting now. He was already a god; now, he'll have to become the god.
