Magic 2.0

Scott Meyer

S85/100
Martin Banks is just a normal guy who makes an abnormal discovery: reality is nothing more than a computer program, and he can manipulate it. When his little 'tweaks' attract unwanted attention, he time-travels to Medieval England to pose as a wizard rather than face prosecution. An American hacker in King Arthur's court, Martin must train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin — and not, you know, die or anything.

Wander West, in Shadow

CloverCloverClover

S85/100
The war ended, but the world didn't. For years, the lands burned in the wars of the White Queen, a sorceress and tyrant whose mad ambition brought ruin to all she touched. Now she is dead, but all that remains has been bled dry — charred towns lie hollow, fields return to the wild, and quiet shadows settle where folk once made their homes. Through this darkness, the young wizard Martimeos walks broken roads following the fading trail of his brother, who marched west to fight in the Queen's War and never returned. On his journey he must barter with demons, trade riddles with fae, and contend with the wild witch Elyse, a fellow practitioner with secrets of her own. At last the road brings him to Silverfish, a cursed village whose future has been stolen. His search will lead him to the horror at the heart of Silverfish's tragedy — and the truth behind his brother's fate.

Victor of Tucson

PlumParrot

S85/100
Victor can't wait to get out of high school and start his own life on a sports scholarship. That plan is derailed when he steps into his abuela's house and somehow ends up in a world filled with fantastical meta-humans, walking talking devils, and creatures one usually needs serious pharmaceuticals to see. Fanwath is no dream — it's a nightmare. Sold into slavery as a pit fighter, Victor learns his new home is controlled by the System, and the only way to get ahead is to fight, kill, and collect the precious Energy that means the difference between a long life and an early grave. His stats start at a solid zero. Lucky for him, no one in this world has ever met his kind before — which means they have no idea what he's really capable of.

Regis and Charlotte

MeetFearsomeDragons

S85/100
Regis knows it's an illusion. He's only ever seen Princess Charlotte from afar, only heard her voice when she spoke to a crowd. Sure, he's good at reading people, but he knows she of all people will be wearing a perfect mask. The problem is he's in love with the illusion, and it's not going away. So he strikes out on a quest: win the fighting tournament held every year, where she gives out the prize, and — just hypothetically — forfeit the monetary winnings and instead ask for a week to be close to her, to get to know the real her, and break the illusion once and for all.

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.

Hawkin's Magic Beers

James Ghoul

A84/100
Hawkin rejected adventure to pursue a slower pace of living. Isolated in the wilderness far from civilization, he fends for himself using the axe he earned on the Lumberjack quest path — the quest path he'd gladly disabled long ago. After ten rugged years alone in the northern forests, visitors begin to appear: first an ancient, overpowered monster who becomes more friend than foe, then a lost trio of monks who share a beer so good that Hawkin is moved to return to the dreaded system. Dellia, one of a thousand gods, seeks Hawkin's help to expand her influence among humans, promising to guide him to becoming one of the greatest brewers the world has ever known. Hawkin's only condition: he never leaves his woods. When goblins encroach on his territory, he forges an alliance with unlikely companions and sets forth on a journey to brew magic beer.

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.
