Threadbare

Andrew Seiple

S85/100
Meet Threadbare. He is twelve inches tall, full of fluff, and really, really bad at being a hero. Magically animated and discarded by his maker as a failed experiment, he is saved by a little girl. But she's got problems of her own, and he might not be able to help her. Fortunately for the little golem, he's quick to find allies, learn skills, gain levels, and survive horrible predicaments. Which is good, because his creator has a whole lot of enemies.

Earthen Contenders

Jonathan Brooks

S85/100
Against his will, Thaden was transported along with millions of other humans from Earth to train as Contenders in a new world. Something went wrong during his transfer — he was ejected from the training program and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano. Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden survived, only to find himself alone in a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and a Support-based Healer class with no offensive capabilities whatsoever. None of his spells do damage; he can't even pick up a weapon. But Thaden quickly discovers something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive — because he seemingly will never run out of Mana.

Ether Flows

Ryan DeBruyn

A84/100
The Sovereign Empire's power was a lie. Azrael was brutally trained from birth to be a Sovereign Elite — until war came, and he found himself a prisoner on Tech Duinn, a prison planet designed for blood sport, before he even turned eight. Without system access and stripped of his identity, Azrael must rely on his trainers to keep his true name secret. If anyone learns his last name, he will wake up in the arena — if he wakes up at all. Surviving the Arena Pit Dungeon seems impossible, yet Azrael vows not only to live, but to find a way off-world. He lives only because of applause. Others will die for it. Death or escape is the only way out of the cycle.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 6: The Ghosts of Earth

DoctorHepa

A84/100
The apocalypse will be televised. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth collapses into a heap, transformed into a dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot that circles the entire globe. Only a few dare venture inside — and once you're in, you can't get out. Each level has a time limit. But this game isn't about strength or dexterity; it's about followers, views, and clout. Building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big. And if you have that 'it' factor, you may just find yourself with a following — and the loot boxes dropped by generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.

In addition to building and defending his monstrous apiary, Belissar must confront the Hunger — an encroaching doom that consumes everything in its path and leaves only death.

Dungeon Devotee

Nixia

A84/100
Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams — until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world's greatest predator with a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind. With every level he earns, every piece of loot that drops, every secret he uncovers, and especially every bit of power he can squeeze from his mysterious connection to the Aspect of Madness, Edmund crawls closer to accomplishing that insurmountable feat. With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon's right back.

Walrus King

A83/100
Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of concrete. He spends his days repairing machinery and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body navigate the small tunnels that are his world—as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he maintains.

Mage Tank

Cornman8700

A83/100
After being killed by a high-velocity tree, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately, there is no tutorial. Arlo is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of strangers, possessing no armor, no weapons, and no knowledge of this world — and his paper-thin excuses for how he got there are growing thin. There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke. Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes his highest stat, Intelligence, and dumps everything into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and ask for more hot sauce? Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG set in an epic fantasy world rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered, featuring slow progression, intelligent characters who make intentional build choices, and real consequences.

Systema Delenda Est

InadvisablyCompelled

A83/100
When the System came to Earth, technology failed, monsters appeared, and billions died as humans were inducted into game-like physics. Unfortunately for the System, not all humans were on Earth. Cato is an ordinary postbiological citizen — disgusted enough by the System's excesses to go through one of the portals and spread himself into the broader System just as Earth is completely freed. He has no magic, but he has the technology and knowledge of a civilization reaching toward the second rank of the Kardashev scale. He may have to operate under the System's limitations, but he certainly doesn't have to play by its rules. His goal is simple: remove the System entirely.
