Beers and Beards

JollyJupiter

B72/100
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.

The Spoken Queen's Swarm

TheDudeFromCI

B72/100
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.

Trailblazers & Lunatics

HP Low

B72/100
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.

Beers and Beards

JollyJupiter

B72/100
Pete is a simple man who likes good beer and good company. Now he's trapped in a fantasy world inside the body of a smelly dwarf — and the local brew is flat, watery, and barely alcoholic. Altering dwarvish beer is a deeply serious cultural offense. Pete has a lot to prove. This cozy progression fantasy blends crafting, slice-of-life, and found family in a story that doesn't require you to like beer — just to need something comforting.

Tinea and Leah

Eleeyah

B71/100
Tinea had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught her how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties — but not much else. She ran, crossed an ocean, grew up, and discovered the world. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, she fought to be happy. Then the aliens invaded her neighborhood. Smoking rifle in hand and still coming up short, she made a life-ending choice — and was rewarded beyond her wildest dreams through DNA-changing Vanguard science. Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection and togetherness, set in the universe of Stray Cat Strut.

I Swear I'm Not A Dark Lord!

CJ Holmes

B71/100
Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants is to practice magic and go fishing. A pleasant, quiet existence nobody should complain about. Except his family abandoned him, his new body is cursed, gods meddle in his affairs, the local mayor keeps dumping responsibilities on him, a strange kid keeps challenging him to duels, and everyone seems to want to know if he'd like to be a dark lord. Who has time for all of that when there are books to read and a lunker trout hiding in the river?

Weeaboo's Unfortunate Isekai: The Necromancer's Gacha

Warby Picus

B70/100
Getting isekai'd into a gameworld full of waifus was supposed to be the dream. Unfortunately, the mysterious black-robed figure who did the summoning grabbed the wrong guy, and now the protagonist faces waves of monsters intent on terrible things. The game turns out to be a gacha, which means desperately earning money to pull summons, building fortifications, furnishing a tower, and gearing up — all while grappling with the existential horror of gacha economics. The necromancers who built this game are going to pay. A base-building, summoner-focused isekai with no harem, featuring tower defense mechanics and dark humor.

Slime Sweets and Dungeon Treats

Pandora Pierce

B70/100
After waking up in a dungeon, Hazel wasn't about to grab a sword and start fighting. Instead, she picked up a sandwich — and that choice glitched the system, giving her a brand-new class: Culinary Mage. Now Hazel is baking her way through the dungeon, making friends with slimes, and cooking up a storm instead of grinding monsters. XP from cooking, a quest to escape by reaching floor 100, and a cafe full of adorable slimes who evolve by eating good food — it's not a conventional approach, but it might just work. As Hazel's cafe grows and her dishes become legendary, she starts to wonder if defeating the boss is really the key to her freedom — or if there's more to this dungeon than meets the eye.

Ares_00

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.

Lost In Translation

Dissonance

B70/100
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me — the Skystrider who walked with the wind, the Voiceless man of song without speech, the Tutor who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, the Traveler who has walked all roads of the earth. I have spoken languages lost to time, sung to the earth, outwitted Demons, and danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts. People have branded me a myth. But I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick.

Anyone who trifles with Wumble's wizard is in for a ruff time.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B70/100
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.

If they can survive the lack of infrastructure. And the deadly beasts they need to hunt for food. And idiots who don't understand what settling somewhere actually entails. And dragons. Using structural engineering, the scientific method, logistics, and the dark art of personnel management, Lori and her newly dubbed lord Rian must solve the persistent problems of shelter, sanitation, food storage, and keeping the colonists from making terrible decisions.
