Cat Girl Evolution

Bedivere the Mad

B73/100
Yona wasn't always a cat, but she is now, and she's living her best cat life. No silly Quests or Systems are going to get in her way — until they do. Stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight to survive and return to the mainland. Or she could just pig out, nap, and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. One thing she won't do: swim. And that makes escaping the island considerably more challenging. Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up something — as gods tend to do.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror

Actus

B72/100
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe — unfathomable, utterly evil, and fond of being called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic regardless. Starting his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy — but when he's assigned to room with a strange girl whose magic even Henry is wary of, things get complicated. He sets out to become a powerful mage while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that has created a teenage persona, and a roommate far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles with the ramifications of the monster within him, a disturbing truth emerges: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane — and Damien may be the only one who can stop them.

Duskbound

D. E. Sherman

B72/100
Monsters don't fear the dark. They fear Velik. Changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand, Velik is now faster and deadlier than any ordinary human — armed with a unique class built for one purpose: hunting monsters. For ten years he has braved the frontier alone, growing stronger with every kill. But the monsters are coming faster and stronger, and he is losing ground. When a guild hunter arrives and seems more interested in Velik than in the monsters he was hired to kill, Velik is forced to venture deeper into the woods — where what he finds is not just a nest but a secret that could explain what happened to him ten years ago. Something in the dark remembers him, and it has been waiting.

Ascension of the Primalist

NB.Dravenlord

B72/100
Seth was just a commoner from the outskirts, someone who could only dream of the Wielders' world — a realm of Ranks, attributes, and spells forever beyond his reach. Until the day he awakened as a Primalist. To escape a life of misery, Seth enrolls in one of the nation's elite academies, only to find himself stepping into a society rotting with injustice. Equality of chances is a lie; power is inherited, not earned. Fortunately, his new class feeds on danger rather than privilege: the riskier the hunt, the greater the gain. To rise, Seth must abandon caution and seek fights where survival is never guaranteed — and become the strongest predator the wild has ever seen.

The Dragon Heir

Mangowo

B71/100
Jade was born wrong — a magicless half-beastkin in a world ruled by power. After a failed elven ritual traps her in a monster-filled dungeon, restraint stops mattering. She wakes up with scales, wings, and a body that grows stronger with every kill. The hunt feels good. Almost too good. The only catch is that she's becoming a dragon in mind and body. To escape, Jade must climb the dungeon's food chain by indulging the instincts she spent her life suppressing — or die as prey. Humanity is optional. Survival isn't.

Trials of the Endless Planes

RJ Shoke

For four years, humanity endured the Crucible — a harrowing trial that forced survivors to conquer dungeons and battle horrific creatures in order to gain powers of their own. But the Crucible was merely the beginning. As the trial concludes, survivors find themselves on the precipice of the Endless Planes: a vast realm of kingdoms, mythical creatures, and formidable challenges where magic thrives and ancient forces shape the destiny of worlds. Among them is Kaito Bao, once a loving father and husband who has lost everything. Driven by an unending desire to hunt monsters, he has accumulated powerful abilities, incredible Feats, and rare Titles. His climb begins at Serpent's Way, the bottommost world of the Endless Planes — where all must start their ascent to the top.

Nobody Saves the Princess

JacksonWrites

B71/100
Princess Lillia Ashvalin was supposed to inherit a throne, not fight a giant bug for the right to wear its skin as a dress. After five years under her murderous aunt's rule, the worst part was supposed to be politics. Sadly, her aunt had her thrown into the bowels of an SSS-Class Dungeon. Now our princess has fallen into a world — and a genre — she was never meant for. Armed with a dead knight's sword she cannot equip and a class nobody has ever heard of, Lillia must fight her way through spooky monsters, elite bosses, deadly traps, and other deeply unaristocratic problems. Down here, all the knights are dead. Down here, nobody saves the princess.

Level One Zombie

Matthew-McKay

B71/100
Frank isn't exactly a model citizen. He's also not here to save Earth — he just wants his favorite curse word back. Too bad the World Dungeon drops him in as a zombie with a level cap of 1 and a profanity filter that turns every F-bomb into "frank." Earth has been repossessed and rebranded by a megacorp called DungeonCore. The prize is ownership of the planet, and this season is Hardcore Mode: death means getting stuck in his Lair until the next expansion, losing everything. Humanity gets a head start, but deep-pocketed aliens are lining up to buy in. To make matters worse, hero classes went to the NPCs while actual players got saddled with monster classes. Frank spawns as a lowly zombie with only stubbornness, handyman's grit, and an accidental Universe First achievement that lets him build a class of his own. He's not a hero — he's not even technically alive. But he might be petty enough to move mountains for the sake of one four-letter word.

Weeaboo's Unfortunate Isekai: The Necromancer's Gacha

Warby Picus

B71/100
Getting isekai'd into a gameworld full of waifus was supposed to be the dream. Unfortunately, the mysterious black-robed figure who did the summoning grabbed the wrong guy, and now the protagonist faces waves of monsters intent on terrible things. The game turns out to be a gacha, which means desperately earning money to pull summons, building fortifications, furnishing a tower, and gearing up — all while grappling with the existential horror of gacha economics. The necromancers who built this game are going to pay. A base-building, summoner-focused isekai with no harem, featuring tower defense mechanics and dark humor.

Underdog

Alexey Osadchuk

B71/100
Eric was born in a world governed by the Great System, completely nulled — level zero, no characteristics points, kept alive only by tiny base reserves of life and energy. When his parents die in a mining accident on his fourteenth birthday, the bank takes their house and Eric is left with no choice but to work off the remaining debt in the Dungeons of the Crooked Mountains. Despite being treated as a freak and outcast his entire life, Eric discovers that his affliction — the very thing that makes the System's normal paths unavailable to him — may be a hidden advantage. The story of a nulled boy's struggle to survive, and to rise.

The Runic Artist

Ellake

B71/100
Where there is a Rune, there is a way. Nate is a kid from Sydney, Australia whose free time is devoted to his one true love — art, graffiti specifically. That is, until his hobby catapults him into a new world filled with danger and magic. Finding himself alone in a forest that is clearly not on Earth, he must learn to navigate this new world and the System that governs it. Armed with nothing but his trusty penknife and a Legendary Class, Nate will fend for his life — conquering dungeons, discovering runes, and being drawn into battles against enemies he didn't even know he had, all while making new friends along the way. Torn between returning to his old life and the friends he left behind, or making a new home in a world filled with magic, he will have to decide where his heart truly lies.

Ryan DeBruyn

His one objective is to join the immortal rankers climbing the Northern Tower. On the day of his escape, a guild attack throws him through a dungeon portal that hasn't been used in nearly a hundred years. In pursuit of his ultimate goal, Jeff must navigate mountains of misinformation, choose between Church, guild, or going it alone, while predators come from every direction.

Underkeeper

Hankthemoose

B70/100
Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. A few years later, Bernt finds himself working for City Maintenance as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery. But hey, it's a stable job. With the help of his unlicensed, unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he'll save enough to launch his career as an adventurer — just as soon as he can afford some proper gear. If only there were a faster way. Adventure, it turns out, has a habit of finding him first.

Deadworld Isekai

RC Joshua

B70/100
Lots of people get isekai'd, and Matt is no exception. After a quickly resolved misunderstanding with a truck-shaped system assistant, he's sent to Gaia — the garden planet. The truck assures him it's a really good fit. It would probably be right, too, if Gaia wasn't a burned-out wasteland completely devoid of life. Matt has all the system-granted advantages of a LitRPG isekai hero — it's just that he arrived a little late for them to do anyone any good. Now he's starving, wandering a sterilized featureless wasteland that doesn't much care about his improved stats, and searching for a system-issued guardian that might not even exist.

Elsewhere

Jack Fields

B70/100
Andy "Duke" Ellington was an exceptional fighter pilot who always pushed too hard — until the end finally came for him. Then he was Elsewhere: a completely different world where magic and stats were his new reality, with no support and only a marginal clue. Imprisoned Archmages, corrupt rulers, mysterious forces from beyond, and ancient dungeons all want a piece of him. He's happy to take them all on — and show everyone what happens when you mess with the Duke.

Born alongside seven others in a small area due to a magical disaster caused by the Voidbringers, Will faces an immediate threat: they have returned, and they can corrupt dungeons. With the aid of his dungeon fairy Amber and an adventuring party led by Gar Adamant — displaced prince of the kingdom the Voidbringers destroyed — Will must grow his dungeon, build up a nearby town, and fend off enemies on every side.

The Gods are Bastards

Webbonomicon

B70/100
It was a world of sword and sorcery, but that was a thousand years ago. The last elves live on reservations. Dwarven forges have turned to clockwork and steam. New technologies and advanced magics have made the world smaller, safer, richer, and more polluted — dungeon delving can only be done with the proper permits. The Age of Adventures is over. Until it suddenly begins again. Without warning, the gods call forth two new paladins into a world at peace where there are no demons to slay, and the bureaucrats and industrialists who run the world are less happy to see them than the kings and queens of old. In a cramped landscape of complicated politics where adventurers are no longer welcome, what are the mighty warriors of the gods even supposed to do? Well, first, they're sent to school. And it all goes downhill from there.
