A Dearth of Choice (Dungeon Core)

Grim Tide

A76/100
A young dungeon core forms next to a lovely village full of lovely people who would probably understand its plight — if only it had a mouth with which to speak. Instead, everything goes horribly, terribly wrong. This is the story of a village, a dungeon, and a core's desperate desire to provide light, laughter, and life. It tries to choose talents and perks that bolster its life-mana alignment every time. So how did it end up with an undead army and insane boosts to death-aligned mana? How did everything go so wrong?

The Devil's Foundry

Argentorum

A76/100
A snarky villain and her heroic nemesis blow themselves up and land on a fantasy world. They find themselves faced with two prospects: learn to cooperate and respect someone they've fought against for years, or be swept away by the powers that be. Because Pride always comes before the fall.

An Unborn Hero

Cathfach

A76/100
The tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship. Unfortunately, a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally — meaning it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait. Also in contention: the embryo of a hero facing the egg of a demon lord in a battle with serious mobility issues on both sides. And two new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them. An absurdist LitRPG comedy in which an unborn hero speedruns the plot so efficiently it may all be over before she gets around to being born.

Artorian's Archives

Dakota Krout, Dennis Vanderkerken

A76/100
After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken, an old man is out for revenge. He is ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation. Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him it was impossible — then quietly ignored them and started anyway. He had always failed at everything: lost his way from the academy, lost his command to a Mage, lost his town. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate — no matter what it cost him.

Little Devil

DocteurNS

A76/100
Samael has lived her entire life in what most people would call Hell — because it is. Fire, brimstone, demons, pitchforks, and tortured souls, all the usual trappings. But Samael is oblivious to most of it, having spent her days in the deepest reaches of Tartarus as a wandering hermit alongside her devil father and the occasional visit from a naggy angel aunt. Meanwhile, Sophia lives a peaceful life as a young priestess on a sacred island, largely ignored by the world. When her day takes a turn for the absolute worst, an unexpected ally stumbles into her path and turns her peaceful existence completely upside down.

Surprisingly Enough(NOT), Common Sense Is Overpowered in Cliché Cultivation World

PlumBlossom0_0

A76/100
Ning finds himself reborn in the world of cultivation. As he embarks on this new life, he gradually becomes aware that this realm revolves around a select few "protagonists" who endure underestimation and humiliation, only to rise and retaliate following the predictable patterns of clichéd cultivation novels. Realizing he is an "extra" — freed from the constraints of these clichéd rules — Ning resolves to chart his own path towards immortality, steering clear of predictable tropes and stereotypes. He uses his sharp intellect and vast knowledge to ascend to the pinnacle of the cultivation world, defying conventions and outsmartting adversaries along the way.

The Thirteenth God

Django Wexler

A76/100
Taking down a god is not easy. In order to escape a prison at the edge of the world, con artist Kalsis Chiroptera agrees to do the impossible: overthrow the Princeps, the immortal ruler of all mankind. It seemed like a good idea at the time. With only a handful of survivors by his side — plus a cheerfully murderous golem girl — Kal has a long way to go before he is ready to challenge an empire. He will need allies, weapons, warships, and an ancient mecha that feeds on the bones of the world to grow stronger. A military progression fantasy featuring magitech, sandships, dark comedy, and a group of losers on a long road from dodging cannibal bikers to building a fleet of starships.

Cultivation is Creation

Kynan

A76/100
Ke Yin has a problem — several, actually. He's really Kane from Earth, stuck in a cultivation world where people don't just split mountains with a sword strike but build entire universes inside their souls. He has a system with a snarky spiritual assistant that lets him possess the recently deceased across dimensions. And the elders at the Azure Peak Sect are asking why his soul realm contains both demonic cultivation and holy arts. Must be a natural talent. Kane's main cultivation method is plant-based, tied to World Trees, and will eventually allow him to create his own lifeforms within his soul realm. A weak-to-strong story spanning multiple realms, with light LitRPG elements and time loop threads woven throughout.

Rise of the Devourer

Krazekode

A76/100
Noah Brown had a gift for fighting. Unfortunately, punching things didn't pay the bills — at least until he died and an Eldritch god found his soul. The encounter sent him to a new world, summoned by bloody cultists, with nothing but the shirt on his back and a strange item in his system menu. [???]: A source of infinite potential. Perhaps he'd finally get to put his gifts to good use.

The Riyria Chronicles

MichaelJSullivan

A76/100
Royce Melborn, a cynical ex-assassin, and Hadrian Blackwater, an idealistic ex-mercenary, couldn't be more different — but desperate times make for strange partnerships, and sometimes the best friendships are bound by blood. The three volumes posted here follow the rogues-for-hire duo known as Riyria through a series of increasingly dangerous jobs: foiling the assassination of a mysterious noblewoman in an ancient corner of the world; tracking a wealthy baron's missing daughter through the mist-filled streets of a city full of old-world secrets; and racing to stop a disgruntled master craftsman from obliterating the legendary towers of Drumindor. Witty, action-driven, and built on the chemistry between its two leads, these standalone adventures reward both new readers and fans of the broader Riyria world.

Judicator Jane

Brian Rouleau

A76/100
Jane's life was a string of bad luck — unpaid bills, dead-end jobs. When she wakes up in a vast, deadly desert with a glowing system menu in front of her face, she dumps all 630 of her available stat points into Luck. In a system where 10 is the maximum, the laws of probability bend to her will. But godlike luck has a downside. When a devastating one-in-a-trillion accident eliminates the realm's greatest evil, the terrifying Demon Horde assumes Jane is their new all-powerful queen. Now she must lead a legion of monsters through a game-like System she barely understands, all while hiding the fact that she has no idea what she is doing.

My Big Goblin Space Program

ScottWarren

A76/100
Engineer, double amputee, and now astronaut for NuEarth LLC — Chris is about to complete his life-long dream of being the first man to moonwalk on prosthetics. At least until his rocket explodes on launch. Instead of death, he finds himself in a new world and a new body: three feet tall, covered in blue fur, and with the ability to command the absolute loyalty of any goblin he meets. The one familiar element to this new planet is that it's got a moon — a big one, with forests and seas. Chris sees no reason why death and reincarnation should get in the way of his goal. Armed with an expanding army of fanatical followers and a dubious self-propagating Goblin Tech Tree, he'll stop at nothing to jump-start the Apollo program. But he was brought to this world for a reason, and not everyone is content to leave the goblin king to his own devices.

Inexorable Chaos

Cliff Hanger

A76/100
Gods are lazy. After a few hundred millennia they learned to delegate, and so the Heroes were born — useful pawns to handle the messy business of saving worlds. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole save-the-world routine, came home, and decided it wasn't enough. So he sold his services back to the Gods: Quasi Eludo, Hero for Hire. After countless subjective centuries on the job, an odd God arrives with a unique request — destroy a world, minimum payment several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason to refuse.

Dungeon Wreckers

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

A75/100
For Matthew "Wormhole" Maruki, blowing up Dungeons is more than a job—it is a pleasure. The year is 2024: monsters are everywhere, and mysterious Dungeons eat people. It is Matthew's secret part-time job to stamp them out like weeds before they grow big enough to overwhelm reality, something he and his team have grown explosively good at between school life and the occasional cosmic disaster. But the war against the Dungeons is unending, and unknown to Matthew himself, he might hold the key to mankind's ultimate victory—if only he could remember it.

Shades Of Forever

Loate

A75/100
Sky Memoriam is one of the last surviving humans on an Earth ravaged by cataclysm thousands of years ago. In an isolated valley, the remnants of humanity scratch a living from what little nature remains — life is hard, but peaceful, and Sky's days are filled with preparations to assume a role of responsibility. That's what Sky thinks, anyway. When a spaceship from the broader galactic community carrying a modified combat AI designed to interface between humans and Things That Are Better Off Not Thought Of crashes outside Sky's village, life starts getting weird. Also violent. An eldritch punk / horror comedy with light progression elements — numbers go up, but they are not the main focus.

Discount Dan

Shadow Alley Press

A75/100
All Dan wants is to find a way home. He'd settle for a beer, a bite to eat, and a place to sleep off his hangover. But Dan has accidentally noclipped into the Backrooms — a bizarre, extra-dimensional world cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned asylums, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as Dwellers. No one ever gets out. If Dan wants to survive the week, he'll need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own. He's also being hunted. The Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death, and no one walks away from the Skinless Court with their hide intact.

The Questing Stones have come to Nowherested, and Evelia Greene is finally ready to receive her life's quest. Perhaps she'll be a great warrior, a wealthy merchant, or a brilliant mage. Perhaps her quest is simply to live a quiet life honing a craft. Or perhaps the Stones will grant her the legendary mission of popping over to the next village to pick up a loaf of bread. Either way, adventure is out there, and Eve is determined to have one.

Blessed by Death: An Archmage's Second Life

euterpe

A75/100
Levi was once the servant of Death itself, spending years eliminating arcane threats to the world. His final task carried a terrible cost, and he retired to a life of solitude — until Death returns not to reap his soul, but to offer a blessing: reincarnation into another world where no one knows his name. Levi accepts, only to awaken in the body of a disgraced noble son, disinherited and on the verge of expulsion from the Institute of Ascension. Death apparently left some things out. He's fine with that. Let the nobles sneer. He's an archmage — so long as he has his magic, he can take on anything. He's been gifted a whole new life, and this time, he intends to live it as an adventure.
