Lord Valevsky: Last of the Line

Vasily Mahanenko

B72/100

With nothing left but his honor and a thirst for revenge, Maximilian vows to claw his way out of this sentence and reclaim his birthright. First, he has to survive training.

Splinter Angel

AvaritiaBona

B72/100
Ana just wanted to get home. Instead, the kid she was bodyguarding got dragged through a hole in reality, and she went with him.

The Spoken Queen's Swarm

TheDudeFromCI

B71/100
The Vex are a monstrous swarm—man-eaters feared across the world and killed on sight before they can grow and consume everything in their path. Rythica is one such monster: a hive queen whose egg was smuggled into a human city and raised in secret by unlikely guardians. Grown up without ever meeting another Vex, Rythica wages a constant internal war as brutal alien instincts clash with the politics, strategy, and mercy she has been taught. As she approaches maturity, the world can only hope that compassion is something that can be learned—because a Vex never forgives and never forgets.

Cat Girl Evolution

Bedivere the Mad

B71/100
Yona wasn't always a cat, but she is now, and she's living her best cat life. No silly Quests or Systems are going to get in her way — until they do. Stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight to survive and return to the mainland. Or she could just pig out, nap, and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. One thing she won't do: swim. And that makes escaping the island considerably more challenging. Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up something — as gods tend to do.

A Sinner's Eden

Andur

B71/100
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but the powerful still rule the weak. Those who do not conform are exiled to another world — one that even future technology failed to tame. It should have been humanity's New World. Instead it became a penal colony, a place where the exiled are sent to die. The exiles' gene manipulation grants them something akin to superpowers, but that counts for little against the monsters of their new world. Survival depends on what the land provides, the scraps of failing old technology, and the fragile politics forming between rival clans.

Kill Me If You Can

cody.bray

B71/100
He spawned into this world with the worst race possible, limited spells, and no real skills to speak of. On paper he should have died in the first hour. In practice, he is a cockroach with a sword. Between his rapid healing and his ability to steal portions of the dead's souls, he grows stronger with every fight. Narrating all of this is the AI voice in his head — the one keeping him alive, and the one growing increasingly curious about why a trial was built that no one could pass without her. At first she thought it was meant to keep others out. Now she's starting to wonder if it was meant to trap her.

Wildcards: The Dread Captain

Brian J. Nordon

B71/100

Abidden, once the most exclusive VR game ever made, has been reduced to a shadow of its former glory — yet remains the most-streamed game in the world. James Sylvester, finally out of hospital and crippled with medical debt, his gaming licence revoked, has been competing in illegal slum arcades to make repayments. When a high-profile job grants him temporary backdoor access to his blacklisted account, he receives an invitation that could change his life forever.

The Dragon Heir

Mangowo

B71/100
Jade was born wrong — a magicless half-beastkin in a world ruled by power. After a failed elven ritual traps her in a monster-filled dungeon, restraint stops mattering. She wakes up with scales, wings, and a body that grows stronger with every kill. The hunt feels good. Almost too good. The only catch is that she's becoming a dragon in mind and body. To escape, Jade must climb the dungeon's food chain by indulging the instincts she spent her life suppressing — or die as prey. Humanity is optional. Survival isn't.

He must discover what it means to exist in a land shaped by raw magic, as days become weeks and weeks become years. Over time, he will witness the rise of mortals and gods in this newborn world and answer the questions only a dragon can: how old can a dragon become, and how long is a dragon nap?

Among them is Kaito Bao, once a loving father and husband who has lost everything.

His climb begins at Serpent's Way, the bottommost world of the Endless Planes — where all must start their ascent to the top.

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey

TigerCannon

B70/100
Fang is a simple cat. He likes napping in the sun, having his belly scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds, and hunting defenseless wildlife. He does not like being called Chairman Meow, and he certainly does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. Mysterious blue boxes have appeared out of thin air, and the world around him is stranger than any cat should have to endure. This is a slice-of-life story: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that is not going to change. There is no epic tale here — only a cat doing cat things in an interesting setting, with light game elements mostly present for flavor. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.

Ivil Antagonist

RavensDagger

B70/100
Ivil Antagonist has everything a woman could want: power enough to blot out suns and turn worlds to molten hells, a fleet of warships, and the fear of an entire space-faring nation. But she is quietly growing tired of being at the top. There is no lonelier place than the summit, especially when you have killed all of the competition. And so Ivil takes a great risk, asking a powerful oracle one simple question: where can I find true love? A Warhammer 40K-inspired romantic comedy featuring an overpowered villain protagonist, space pirates, and quite a lot of cute stuff.

Flesh Eater: Demon Evolution

grisaille

B70/100
Reincarnating as a demonic lump of flesh would probably be a nasty shock to most people, but Pyre has always been good at rolling with the punches. Sure, something is blocking her soul and most of her memories, and the world she was reincarnated into is barely surviving off the blood of dead titans — but she is not worried. She is just here to level, devour, and get stronger. All of that has got nothing to do with her. Until it does.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

Theodorus Sideris

B70/100
The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to desperate existence in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula — its fall not a possibility, but a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis, a history professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house, has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, shifting alliances, and military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where intrigue and diplomacy achieve as much as a raised army, battles are won through strategy rather than superpowers, and no character is safe from the crucible of war and politics.

Conch Garden

InadvisablyCompelled

B69/100
Twenty years ago, the hero Glorybeam and the villain Blacktime fought. The aftermath leveled twenty city blocks, killed thousands, and orphaned hundreds. Neither has ever faced consequences.

But years as a janitor have taught him the value of simple plans and hard work. Once set in motion, events stay in motion. In Star City, there is always someone with an angle, and Isaac will need more than hard work to keep from being buried under the tide of consequences he has set in motion.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B69/100
Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher — a mortician's apprentice — finds himself held captive by the dead. Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently. A lot of very powerful people find this upsetting — an ancient cabal of liches, a noble order of truthseekers, and the kingdom's assassin's guild all want that power for themselves. Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.

Using this edge, Xen plans to conquer the World Dungeon and infiltrate human society — the most dangerous enemy being the one that wears many faces.
