Horizon of War

Hanne

A76/100
The thousand-year-old Imperium is crumbling, and war looms on the horizon — bringing with it both brutalities and splendor. Caught in the midst of this chaos is Lansius, an office worker and veteran MMO player who has been transformed into a medieval peasant. With no wealth, no status, and no magical abilities, armed only with his foundational knowledge of the art of war, Lansius must endure and thrive in a realistic medieval fantasy realm. Follow him as he moves from one occupation to another — surviving turbulent times and slowly ascending from common foot soldier toward the ruling class.

Castle Kingside

Gennon Asche

A76/100
A puzzling encounter leaves Dimitry a beggar with a strange emblem on his wrist. Around him, people suffer as ruthless organizations, opportunistic nobles, and an overly pious church vie for power in a medieval land under constant siege by stone monstrosities rampaging from the coasts. Can a kindhearted surgeon aid this ailing world with modern knowledge, resourcefulness, and magic? Or will rival powers crush him first? The story starts brutally grim and transitions into technology uplift with a focus on science, magitech, and town building.

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.

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.

A Dearth of Choice (Dungeon Core)

Grim Tide

A75/100
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?

Inexorable Chaos

Cliff Hanger

A75/100
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.

Slumrat Rising

Warby Picus

A75/100
Truth Medici has to fight every step of the way out of the Harban slums. If he fails, his parents will sell him and his siblings to the brothels and gangsters. The Starbrite Corporation offers wealth and power to those who survive its brutal selection process—and the truly driven can even access the System Astrologica, which can turn an ordinary person into a Demigod. In a world where angels and demons are hired help, "Demigod" is achievable. But power like that has to be fought for, and fighting is the one thing Truth has always been able to do.

My Big Goblin Space Program

ScottWarren

A75/100
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.

Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve

FictionOnlyReader

A75/100
A normal person reincarnated into the Narutoverse faces a world full of red-eyed clans, a child jailor of the most dangerous being in existence, a snake creep with serious boundary issues, and an entire civilization of super soldiers with licenses to kill — none of whom particularly like him. Starting out weak and struggling for every gain, the protagonist must work his way up through gritty, often bloody conflicts in a world painted in a much darker light than expected. The story follows a zoomed-in perspective on the protagonist's gradual growth, from individual combat to large-scale battles, with an expanded take on the chakra power system.

When he discovers the source — an extremely rare and unstable magic affinity — the stakes rise from expulsion to survival. Enter Iggy, a tiny black dragon with a remarkable nose for magic, and his genius enchanter partner Ariom, who take an interest in keeping the chronically explosive boy alive. That's before demons get added to the mix.

Eon R. Solara

A75/100
Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path. Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell — and even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn earns attributes, points, and power through stubborn hard work. Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God. None of this should have mattered to someone living on the fringe of the empire — until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.

Redemption Arc

Nemobrosus

B74/100
Lord Lucian Villamar left a trail of misery in his wake — the archetypal entitled rich villain of the turn-based strategy RPG War of Four. Now a new soul who enjoyed challenge runs has entered his body at a rather poor time: the start of the game. His relationship with his father is frayed. Powerful figures in the four major nations all want to see him dead. Conspiracies are underway from both political factions and malevolent powers. And Lucian, devoid of talent, is wholly unprepared for the coming calamities. Maybe our protagonist can plot a route to survive this challenge run.

Capitao Caverna

Darth Vader dies in the arms of his son, having killed his master and returned to the light side of the Force. Then he wakes up on a primitive planet that hasn't yet achieved interstellar travel — where the government is corrupt, the heroes are ineffective, and the city is dominated by a gang called the Empire 88 and another that practices slavery. He wants to be better, he wants to overcome his past, but the city isn't making it easy. Sometimes, a former Sith Lord just wants to force choke someone.

Winter Knights

She's a puppy. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve. Waking up one day in a litter of puppies, her human life a fading memory, she quickly falls into the flow of things — playing and hunting with her pack, taking naps, and leveling up. With five siblings who all have unique powers, a protective Dog Mom and three-headed Cerberus Dad, nothing seemed like it could go wrong. That is, until human hunters attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters. Now alone in a harsher world, she won't give up — she'll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge and get her family back.

Blessed by Death: An Archmage's Second Life

euterpe

B74/100
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.

Shoved into a world where death can come in the blink of an eye, shoved into a body that wasn't mine, and shoved into a situation I really would have liked a heads-up on before being shoved into it. Nothing to do but tough it out and go with the flow while navigating a world that shouldn't exist — and figuring out just which version of it this actually is.
