He's been at the top before. Nothing will stop him from getting back there.

Ezy - Dreams Abyss

F10/100
An unfortunate man finds himself stranded in a hostile forest with a system that has turned his gender upside down. Transformed into a beast, he must scavenge and survive while navigating a Cultivation Society that either kills monsters like him or seeks to collar them as contracted pets. As his system pushes him toward evolving into a divine beast — or possibly back into a human — he must find his place in a world that sees him as property. A slow-paced xianxia cultivation story with gender-bending and yuri romance elements, focused on a non-human protagonist carving out a life in an unfamiliar world.

A Pioneer's Blood

Steve Rock

F9/100
The Galaxy has finally learned peace. The Akaadi Imperium and Libera Coalition have turned to the Frontier to replenish their resources — and for that, they need Pioneers: people dropped into remote, inhospitable worlds to hunt for valuable salvage, lost technologies, and unique lifeforms at grave peril. Daniel Hardgrave had always been warned never to become a Pioneer. He listened — until he learned he had a little sister to take care of. Wanting to fund her education, he enlisted, and unknowingly threw himself into the maw of the Apocalypse. Old powers are gathering, threatening everything Hardgrave has ever known. But his timely discovery of an ancient technology could change all of that.

Rebirth: The Blue Box Heretic

T. Carter

F9/100
He remembers his name was Richard. He remembers video games and headaches. But the life he knew is gone — he has been reborn as a baby named Nondol in a world governed by a sarcastic, bizarre System. Trapped in an infant's body with the fragmented memories of an adult mind, Nondol navigates magic, political intrigue, and the daily indignity of diapers. His only guide is a series of infuriating blue quest boxes that offer cryptic advice and zero rewards. In a kingdom where power is everything, a one-in-a-billion mage prodigy is the property of the crown — whether he consents or not.

Eat Them All

Of Rantings and Ramblings

F9/100
Reggie was not an important person — quite the opposite. He was the town lunatic, hated by all and less than an afterthought to the elves ruling over his people. That changed when he was killed to keep a secret, and his death didn't stick. Returning from the grave as a vampire, he scrambles to stay fed and alive while making sense of his new place in the world. But the fear of dying again quickly becomes secondary. It will take all of Reggie's will to maintain his humanity in a world that already thinks he's lost it.

The Broken Arcanist

Aleth08

F9/100
The guild ruled Thorin ineligible. The crystal confirmed it. With no path through the official system, his only option is an illegal branding — and affinities so weak that brute force is never on the table. Every fight is a calculation. Every mistake costs time he doesn't have. With his cousins Clay and Quin at his back, Thorin learns to weaponise broken power through planning, restraint, and hard decisions. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants control — and to reclaim what his name once stood for, whatever it takes. A cultivation-LitRPG blend inspired by Warlock of the Magus World and Reverend Insanity.

It wouldn't be so bad, but his best friend is out to kill him, that rock has a gun, and everything has gone to hell. An LitRPG apocalypse that balances action, comedy, and pure chaos.

Build. Fight. Survive.

Fiddlesoup

F8/100
Ethan Cross wasn't supposed to be on this mission. He snuck aboard the doomed vessel, desperate to find his fiancée Maria, only to crash-land on an uncharted alien world. Now he has nothing but a basic omni-tool, a shredded suit, and the sarcastic company AI, CelestOS 4.2, whispering performance evaluations in his ear. The official mission was simple: find the Veslayan research team Maria was on and recover valuable data. But the environment is hostile, the wildlife is worse, and the remnants of something ancient and dangerous ripple beneath the surface. To survive, Ethan must rebuild from scrap, fight evolving alien threats, and uncover the truth behind a mission that was never meant to succeed.

Dungeon Incursions

Adam Bright

F8/100
For Lance, the incursion of monsters and a magical shop isn't so much an apocalypse as an inconvenience. Coming back from archery practice, Lance and his club are in the right place at the right time to deal some mayhem to the spawning monsters. But just killing them as they emerge from the portals isn't enough — they're going to have to go in and finish the job. A slow-moving apocalypse where the system doesn't lead to societal collapse but to changes in civilization itself. Not a solo overpowered MC, but team-based dynamics.

Rebirth of the Max-Level Vampire Sovereign

Amonzy

F8/100
For four years, Mark dominated Tower Defense: Age of Blood as the Max-Level Vampire Sovereign — level 500, master of the Crimson Ziggurat, ruler of an army of monstrous servants. Then the game ended. He woke up sitting on the throne. The fortress is real. The system still exists. His servants kneel before him as though nothing has changed. But a thousand years have passed, and the world beyond the Crimson Ziggurat no longer follows the rules he remembers. With an unknown world stretching beyond his desert stronghold, Mark must explore, adapt, and reclaim dominance in a reality that has moved on without him.

The Crazed Scholar. The Hoarder of Knowledge. The Thief of Ten Thousand Techniques. After ten thousand years, a cultivator attempted to ascend — to join the Heavens, to become a God. He failed. Yet the story of Xu Han did not end there. The Heavens gave him another life: as a dungeon core.

A Dungeon That Kills

Hitenma

F8/100
Viktor had been called many names: the Impaler, the Tyrant, the Dark Emperor. He carved out an empire across an entire world, bringing kingdoms to their knees — until the Six Heroes slew him, stole his power, and divided it among themselves. Three hundred years later, Viktor awakens in the body of a young boy named Quinn to find his castle in ruins, his capital razed, and the once-prosperous Central Plains a wild land ruled by trees and beasts. The only thing he finds among the rubble is a small, underdeveloped Dungeon Core. With that fledgling Core as his only ally, he sets out to exact vengeance on the Six Heroes' descendants and reclaim what is rightfully his.

World Apocalypse Dungeon Calamity

Andrew O'Kelley

F8/100
The end of humanity was marked by the appearance of the World Dungeon and the System of power it provided. No one gained more power than the tyrant known as the Black Seraph, the Angel of Genocide — who survived at the expense of the rest of humanity and completed the dungeon upon reaching the Altar of the End. A hollow victory. Cursed by the spirit of the dungeon for his ruthlessness, Seraph's power was sealed away and he was cast into the past, reincarnated into the body of his child-like self. Now forbidden from hoarding power and charged with ensuring humanity's survival, he must find a new path — and learn there's more to power than being a tyrant.

Dark Magical Girl

Laulau20

F8/100
Thirty years ago, monsters called Anathema attacked the world. Despite humanity's best efforts, they were defeated. Then came the Zenith — providing seven sanctuary cities for the survivors and bestowing the power to repel Anathema through magical girls and guardians. Now, humanity is trying to reconquer the Earth. Despite being an honor student and always maintaining proper behavior, the narrator was not chosen as a magical girl — perhaps because, unlike others, her feelings weren't genuine. She never idolized magical girls like everyone else. Yet against all odds, one day she is chosen. How can she inspire hope and dreams in others when she lacks them herself?

The Dragonmancer Returns

Bertt

F8/100
The slaying of a dragon was meant to end his adventures. Instead, it was just the beginning of his own draconic journey. Meriel, a young and talented mage, had everything: a beloved partner, a delver party who became family, and a place among history's most prominent mages. There was just one last thing to do — slay the dragon at the heart of the most dangerous dungeon in the Lavarza kingdom. He didn't disappoint. But then everything went wrong. Betrayed, he is sealed away for decades in an inescapable magical stasis, with only the memory of that magnificent dragon for company. In that bubble, he crafts and builds. When the bubble finally bursts, Meriel finds himself in a completely different era. The magic academy has forgotten how magic works, the kingdom faces threats from all sides, and powerful beasts thought long banished are waking again. Thankfully, Meriel has his new Dragon-Crafting spells — and the knowledge to build a defence from the ground up.

The Lamp That No Longer Shines: A LitRPG Action Comedy

Broken_Bulb

F8/100
I was a game designer. Now I'm a Witch. Witches don't cast spells by candlelight and pray to the moon — they audit gods and harvest planets for fuel. They settle academic disputes at gunpoint, and the loser writes her rebuttal from the afterlife. Their idea of mercy is turning your civilization into a battery instead of fertilizer. The problem is, I'm the only one who arrived at this civilization with a corporate mindset. Everyone else is an immortal, overpowered genius who treats reality like a personal sandbox. Nobody here has needed documentation — or anyone like me — in two thousand years. I am trying, very politely, to bring version control to a species that considers chaos a design philosophy. But here's the thing about these arrogant, violent, impossible women: if I ever fall, they will burn a galaxy to bring me home. And for the first time in two lifetimes, that means something.

The Brutal Healer

Fishkid

F7/100
Hector chose the Healer class to stay alive. The system had other ideas. Dropped into a lethal tutorial with only a Field Medic designation and a system that observes more than it explains, Hector quickly learns that healing is not gentle — it is force. Applied incorrectly, it breaks bodies as easily as it saves them. As overhealing becomes a weapon and deviation warnings stack up, survival stops being about following the rules and starts being about understanding them.
