Sponsored Apocalypse

Blaise Corvin

A84/100
Miles "Shrug" Lindstrom received a quest years ago — he was the only person who could see the window, and in addition to the quest, he could also see a countdown to the end of the world. Part of him hoped he was just insane. Then the countdown stops, and what happens is nothing like he could have imagined. Miles prepared for almost any scenario, but a world full of monsters wasn't one of them. Will finishing his strange quest help him survive the chaos?

Creation's Bane

Kevin Sinclair

A84/100
Running a restaurant was hard, but it filled Clive's life with meaning — running through a portal was easy, but it filled his life with demons. Weak in a world full of strength, Clive and his friends rely on grit and determination as they navigate a brutal, war-torn land of magic in search of a way home. There is a problem, though: Clive's been cursed. A demonic knife wound catapults them into a race against time to find a cure, fighting their way across Falritas in need of friends and levels like there's no tomorrow. Set in a chaotic land ruled by ruthless gods, complete with game mechanics, a progression system, and empire-building, where demons, werewolves, dwarves, and elves roam.

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.

Systema Delenda Est

InadvisablyCompelled

A84/100
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.

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.

Broken Interface

Alex Kozlowski

A84/100
The devastating Alpha Event rewrote the laws of reality, transforming cities into sprawling hellscapes filled with flesh-eating zombies and worse. Each survivor was supposed to receive an interface — a guide to help them level up and navigate the new reality. Daniel's is broken. Stranded in a hotel room with nothing but a hangover, Daniel discovers he's been gifted with strange new powers in place of a functioning interface — powers that might enable him to unite the survivors around him into a force capable of enduring this cruel new world.

UnderVerse

Jez Cajiao

A84/100
Jax is a pretty regular guy with a job he tolerates and a girl he kinda loves — and he fights creatures from the UnderVerse in his sleep, waking covered in horrific scars. When his brother vanishes and five years later Jax is kidnapped as well, his father gives him a stark choice: travel to the UnderVerse in reality, reach the capitol of that ruined realm at the center of existence, and open a portal for the Noble Houses to return home — or die slowly. First, though, he has to survive the arena, where twelve will enter and only one can leave.

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.

Eric Ugland

Yesterday Ben was a small-time criminal fleecing New York's upper class. Today he has a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate.

Watching a medieval city guard fend off a ten-meter sentient slime blob crawling up from the sewers makes him reconsider his life choices. Tomorrow he needs to rescue a girl, steal a crown, join a guild, and — most importantly — convince an innkeeper to make a decent bacon and cheese omelette.

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.

Paladin Of The Forsaken Lands

jollybane

A83/100
Vrax should be dead by now, and he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here — delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands at level zero, being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class.

Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential: one that lets him fight the horrors he's been running from his whole life using even worse creatures of his own making. Steady progression from level zero, with a unique power set that lets him craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.

He logs into a high-level area severely underleveled with trash gear, prepared for one final assassination — and then he didn't expect to fall for his target.

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.

An Outcast In Another World

KamikazePotato

A83/100
Rob didn't think of himself as anyone special, but when a pitch-black portal tried to wrap his best friend in chains, he stepped up without thinking and found himself ensnared instead. His moment of heroism results in being torn away from everyone he knew and loved, kidnapped by an unknown force that leaves him with a note: "Good luck." Thrown into the wilderness of Elatra, a hostile fantasy world ruled by levels, stats, and bizarre video game logic, he finds himself entirely out of his depth. Overcoming the wilds is just the first step — Elatran society is incredibly hostile to humans, having just come off a devastating war that left over half the population dead, and getting the locals to trust the last human in existence is a struggle in and of itself. Between being powerless in a world that hates him and suffering under a System that is altering his mind in unwanted ways, Rob quickly finds that monsters aren't nearly the biggest thing to worry about.
