When she woke up in her favorite otome video game, she wasn't expecting to open the eyes of Gerda the NPC troll. Five long years of leveling up, dungeon delving, and treasure hunting — all to give everyone the happily ever after her favorite characters deserved. Season two is closing, and the final season is almost upon her. There are dragons in her future, and something even more terrifying: a lot of walking. Julian van Slyke has been guarding the border to the Untamed Ice Fields since his father died protecting their home twenty years ago. He is determined to conquer the dungeon his father couldn't — but now his home is threatened by Blackfog spies, and he keeps tripping on Gerda no matter where he turns.

The Aspects are long dead — the venerated creators of reality are no more. Yet the final scheme of their slayer, the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer throughout the eons. The last Hope is a desperate gamble: for one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

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.

The power Slate Graystone needs to remain the ducal heir is just out of reach, and he will do anything to get it. Even become a demon. Battling new instincts, ravenous hunger, and struggling to find her place in a world far darker than expected, Slate — now Silk — fights to claim the life she rightfully deserves: one for herself and the mundane folk she was sworn to protect. When Silk learns that the corruption left in the fallen Empire's wake runs far deeper than her own transformation, she must choose between standing by noblesse oblige or tearing the whole system down — and the Sects with it.

In the far north of Skyrim, legends and armies are set to collide.

Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells. Like most Fae, her destiny seemed clear — until the day of her Class Trial, when the Blind Lich unleashed an undead apocalypse on her home, the fabled underground city of Dal'mohra, triggering a cataclysm that forever reshaped the world. Saved by her mother's legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew is gone, buried under a mountain and transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich. Now Ali must master battling monsters and braving corruption while the Lich hunts her unique magic. As her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to survive, she must decide: falter into the eternal servitude of undeath, or rise against all odds and cast him down.

Even after the bombs fell, after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagining on one another, after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the protagonist is uniquely suited to deliver it. Rads don't bother him, and people who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. Sure, humans may not like dealing with a face like his, but you can't beat his express rates. A dystopian LitRPG in the vein of Fallout and The Postman.

The senselessness of so much of the world's death and suffering becomes apparent to the dying paladin Isaiah in his final moments. He perishes — and is reborn into a quiet existence as a simple blackbird. But a spell gone awry transforms him instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal. Isaiah, desperate to return to his simple life, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen — tall enough to reach the reclusive gods in the heavens above, so he can demand they undo the transformation. But the humans below believe he is trying to destroy the world. [Dungeon-Core] [LitRPG] [Base-building]

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.

A journey that began with a simple wish, taken horribly out of context. One ordinary life, one offhand desire for excitement, and suddenly our heroine finds herself in another world — as a slime. Thrown into the world with nary a leg to stand on, she surmounts increasingly difficult odds, battles with such heavy topics as "Is it really safe to eat this?" and "How am I supposed to slay a wyvern!?", and contemplates the existential question of whether this shade of pink makes her slime look fat. Will she become a savior, or this world's very own Demon Queen?

In a remote magical laboratory buried deep beneath the earth, an unspeakable demonic horror is brought into the world. Her name is Lilizath VekxZ'Kraugh — Lily for short. She enjoys cuddling, stargazing, and devouring the torn-apart bodies of her enemies.

Meanwhile, an honest young woman leaves her peaceful life behind to embrace her destiny as the chosen one — and things go horribly wrong almost immediately.

All Pete wanted was to be buried in wine grapes. Instead he finds himself in a fantasy world, far from home, stuck underground in the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair—and surrounded by swill that has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. A cozy slice-of-life story about one man's quest to save the dwarves from their own terrible taste in beer, with love, laughter, and a little melancholy mixed in.

Earth is lost. Driven to the brink of extinction by impossibly powerful Kaiju, humanity survives only in Subterranean Arks deep in the Earth's mantle. Raymond Ryker isn't a hero. He's simply the best surviving pilot humanity has ever known — and he fights not for glory, but to avenge the countless lives lost to the monsters. When a mad plan is concocted to send a human consciousness back in time to inhabit their younger self, Ryker volunteers. But the experiment goes wrong: instead of his teenage body, Ryker's mind is transplanted into a newly hatched Kaiju. Trapped in the body of a monster and unable to warn humanity of the coming cataclysm, he must forge his new form into the ultimate weapon. The mission hasn't changed. Kill all Kaiju.

A single slip is all it takes. But the consequences of falling from a rock wall are usually broken bones — not waking up in the body of a dragon.

Adopting the name Draka, the newly minted dragoness begins to explore the forests, mountains, and villages surrounding the city of Karakan. To not only survive but thrive, she must spread her wings, discover the joys of growing her hoard, and learn to handle the seductively draconic voice encouraging her to find violent means to any ends — while overcoming her intimidating shape to form alliances with the human adventurers she meets.

Upon reaching the age of nine, dozens of children across the Growing World regain the memories of their previous lives on Earth and must come to terms with their new situations. Doro, discovering that his new world's access to magic has stunted the development of empirical science, sets out to quietly spark an industrial revolution — recruiting older crafters and researchers while letting others take the credit. Emi, on the other hand, was reborn alone in a strange forest in the body of an owl, and has a rather different set of priorities: recovering a pair of arms, reuniting with old friends, and funding her endeavors by passing off Earth's music as her own. They are far from alone. The natural disaster that claimed their former lives took many of their fellow university students with them, each carrying their own dreams and baggage into the Growing World. Watch as they take their first steps, gradually reshaping their new home — and being reshaped by it in return.

Thousands of years ago, humankind was destroyed — but the xenos still worship them as gods. Now alien civilizations build cities among humanity's majestic ruins, and one Empire has learned to harness forgotten human technology to dominate the distant worlds. Eolh is a jaded avian thief raised in the underbelly of a city full of winged xenos. He fought the Empire when it first arrived, but the resistance died long ago. He trusts no one and looks out only for himself. When an unusual heist takes a deadly turn, Eolh must bargain with an android carrying an impossible secret — one that could shake the foundations of the universe.

When a Creature of the Void fails to find friendship among her own kind, she sets her sights on a human-filled world.

Betrayed and left for dead by a group of slaving nobles, a down-on-his-luck scout named Liem is rescued in the most unexpected way: a gelatinous, gluttonous mimic fuses with him, enhancing his body and turning him into a half-man, half-mimic monstrosity. Now possessing capabilities far beyond anything seen before on Basania, Liem must contend with his new bodymate's insatiable hunger for cake and human flesh — and with the slaving empire that still wants him dead.
