Immovable Mage

ImmovableMage

C57/100
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in mana foundation management awes everyone — making the eventual disappointment all the greater when Terry proves to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis: major aspect impairment, no cure. Faced with expulsion, Terry finds unexpected kindness that costs him his academy place but gives him a home with a caring family. Resigned to exploring mana cultivation, he never stops searching for his own path as a mage — day after day, season after season — looking for compatible spellwork. All to finally find the only spell he can cast. A journey to discover that even a narrow path of magic can lead to the territory of legends.

Lunatic Sword

RabZ YT

C57/100
Some live by the sword — Alex is imprisoned by it. Not that he's complaining; he likes swords. In a world of swords and sorcery, some are born with divine blessings that lead them to challenge the heavens, while others are punished by fate and forced into suffering. For Alex, it's all irrelevant. As long as he has his sword, every tragedy is a joy and every obstacle is just more time to polish his blade. There's nothing that can't be solved with a good sword cut — unless the enemy is a ghost, in which case he'll need a church. A battle-focused progression story with a sword-obsessed protagonist whose genius is strictly limited to swordsmanship.

Goblin Teeth: A Monster Party LitRPG

JimQuill

C57/100
Daggat was born different — a variant monster with a random gift to shape his fate. After faking his death, he sets out on a relentless quest for freedom, power, and a place to call his own. With a mind sharper than steel, a gaze that bends wills, and a tyrant's instinct for control, he gathers a band of outcasts: a savage warrior sibling, a cunning rogue sibling, a cursed and forgotten spider from the attic, a worm with the soul of a dragon, and the last ogre of a shattered family. Each carries their own scars — physical, spiritual, emotional. Together they will claw, scheme, and fight through a world that wants them dead, forging an adventuring party that seeks not just riches and glory, but the power to decide their own fates.

Human Altered

Yousureimnotarobot

C57/100
Earth's Engineers are a double-edged sword. They can fix or improve anything — but no sane Xeno Engineer will touch a device that carries the Human Altered warning. A series of interconnected tales from humanity's distant future. Most chapters are standalone.

In Space With a Junkyard Ship

apinsig

C57/100
Earth stands dead. Follow a broken man's desperate journey as he searches for freedom — trying to generate enough power to escape not just from a ruined Earth, but from the remnants of human colonies now controlling the solar system, who see him as little more than a machine. It won't take long for him to discover that the universe is nothing like he imagined. The emptiness he envisioned isn't there, nor is the easy life of leisure he dreamed of. Instead, danger and opportunity lurk around every corner — and for those not brave enough to face them, only death awaits.

Accidental Healer

Avyck3721

C57/100
Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead he woke up in a nightmare. Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class — Healer. That's when things start feeling off. He's leveling far too fast, and his so-called support class feels anything but weak. His only ally is a too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal. Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

Magical Girl of Despair

Qlsjddkw

C57/100
Aiko considered herself a run-of-the-mill office worker: clock in, get yelled at by her boss, clock out, don't get eaten by the monstrous horrors spilling into the world from another dimension. But when a well-meaning friend drags her into that very dimension, Aiko must carve out a new life for herself as one of the monsters people fear. Now she fights back against the protectors she once admired, battling to hold onto her sense of self. Though to be fair, being a fallen magical girl is far more preferable to an office job.

Past the Redline

RavensDagger

C57/100
Entirely sane space-racer Diana Slowbane pushes her ship past its limits to bag first place — and in doing so, breaks the laws of causality. She sends herself, her ship, and her AI companion ChaOS hurtling across the Milky Way and into Federation space, where she becomes the first human to meet any of the locals. She immediately demands they race. A completed action-adventure story full of racing, nanomachines, an overpowered AI that still can't handle an insane human, and plenty of chaos.

Hundred Kingdoms

Michael R. Miller

Ten Thousand Tragedies

NMR-3

C57/100
Death is the greatest teacher, and 721 has a lot of learning to do. The Martial Arts Alliance stands at the precipice of defeat as war threatens to consume the world — its sects and great families rotten at the core. As a slave soldier of the Red Dawn Sect, 721 is not allowed a name, feelings, or thoughts. His death is not a tragedy, only a statistic. But death isn't the end for him: every time he dies, he wakes up again 24 hours before it happened. With only a vague memory of who he once was, he will rise to the highest peaks — his road paved with his own bones.

Mage Steel: A Western Sci-Fi Cultivation Series

Dominick R

C57/100
A thousand years ago, Earth fell. Rifts tore open reality, flooding the planet with eldritch horrors. Humanity evolved, adapted, and awakened to new powers — but it wasn't enough. Earth was abandoned and humanity scattered to the stars. Now, Knights are all that remain of Earth's warrior legacy: humans wielding Rift-forged power armor and ancient combat disciplines, fighting for hire across the galaxy. Cadet Kon was training to join their ranks until his ship was shot down and he crash-landed on a Rift-infected world crawling with pirates, bandits, and relics of a dead civilization. Cut off from command and surrounded by monsters that should not exist, survival becomes the first test of many as Kon fights his way through a world lost to madness.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game

Michael Dale

C57/100
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world's deepest dungeon — an immortal ancient dragon, and terribly bored. His only amusement comes from scrying on adventurer teams in the upper levels. When he hears of a new magic item called a Virmo that projects one's mind into a grand-scale game, he dispatches a minion to acquire one. He logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of "science" and "technology," and embarks on a new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class.

Then that dream was stolen from him. Offered only pitiful classes, Adam rejects them all and becomes a weak, worthless Unclassed. His one advantage: a unique inventory skill called Hoard, which lets him store and combine items, skills, and even power — assuming he's willing to fight for them. Adam has five years until his next selection, and plans to grow so strong that the class of his dreams becomes a laughable step down. His first step: joining the Rift Delving Association. His next: entering hell.

The (Second) Life of Brian

Chris Tullbane

Brian Fieldings just buried his dad and lost the only job he has ever had. Waking up in an unfamiliar, pitch-black room the next morning — with inhuman howling coming from the other side of the door — feels like the rotten cherry on a particularly awful sundae. Brian has questions: where is he, how did he get here, what is making those terrible noises, and why does the room have an altar? First he will need to survive long enough to get answers — because Brian has been tapped to play a role in a bloody drama that spans multiple realities, and he is about to find out what happens when one life ends and the next begins.
