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.

UnderVerse

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.

A Matter of Time

Blue Moon 13

A83/100
For ten years, Huan Yue has lived a quiet life, serving tea and hiding from the world of god-like cultivators who shattered her family for a petty slight. All she wants is to remain invisible. But on the morning she turns twenty, a mysterious cultivator hunts her down and murders her — and then she awakens in her bed at the start of the very same day, trapped in a waking nightmare. Hunted by a team of relentless and seemingly invincible assassins, Yue discovers that within her curse lies a weapon. If she cannot escape as a mortal, she will become something more. With each death, terror fades and is replaced by burning rage. Forced to walk the path of the very people she despises, she will use the endless cycle to forge her spirit and sharpen her skills. Her hunters believe she is an insignificant pest to be exterminated. They don't realize they've given their victim the one thing she needs to claim her revenge: time.

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.
