Mediocre Master: I Can See Your Hidden Potential! (A Xianxia Sect-Building LitRPG)

Calmari

F21/100
In the world of cultivation, talent is everything — and for Lu Chen, it was his greatest failure. After a lifetime of playing high-stakes strategy games on Earth, he wakes up as the Sect Leader of the Coiling Dragon Sect. It's a prestigious title hiding a crumbling ruin: mediocre disciples and a leader stuck at Foundation Establishment with zero hope of breakthrough. But his transmigration came with a gift — Truth Seeker's Gaze. With a single glance, flawed cultivation manuals reveal themselves as masterpieces, worthless spirit stones become hidden gems, and a mortal servant girl the world writes off as talentless is exposed as a monster with a Dormant True Dragon Bloodline and a Sacred Cosmic Bone. While other Sect Leaders chase after genius disciples, Lu Chen begins his Trash Collection. He doesn't need to be the strongest cultivator — he just needs to hold the leashes of the monsters he's about to unleash.

Blighted: A Plague Rat's Tale

Notsae

F20/100
Waking up as a reviled vector of plague, a nihilistic, power-hungry sociopath attempts to free themselves from the shackles of mortality and time. In a world racked with war, crime, and unfocused violence — partially fueled by a system that encourages random acts of senseless violence — one little rat seeks to murder his way to the top of the food chain. Betrayal, mass murder, war, a curse from the dead gods, unfettered magical experimentation, slavery, rampaging monsters, and a raging holy war have rendered this world a violent hellhole: perfect for a violent opportunist to thrive in.

The Sixth Campaign

K.J. Licht

F20/100
