The Gods are Bastards

Webbonomicon

B69/100
It was a world of sword and sorcery, but that was a thousand years ago. The last elves live on reservations. Dwarven forges have turned to clockwork and steam. New technologies and advanced magics have made the world smaller, safer, richer, and more polluted — dungeon delving can only be done with the proper permits. The Age of Adventures is over. Until it suddenly begins again. Without warning, the gods call forth two new paladins into a world at peace where there are no demons to slay, and the bureaucrats and industrialists who run the world are less happy to see them than the kings and queens of old. In a cramped landscape of complicated politics where adventurers are no longer welcome, what are the mighty warriors of the gods even supposed to do? Well, first, they're sent to school. And it all goes downhill from there.

Hell Hound Evolution

Winter Knights

B69/100
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.

Jack_Golightly

B69/100
Thomas just wants to keep his skin intact during the System integration, and maybe carve out a life more interesting than the one he's had so far. When he steps inside a dungeon, he receives his magical gift: every monster kill drops weapons, mana crystals, and powerful gear. While others struggle to survive in a new world, Thomas begins to build something far more dangerous — an advantage.

Manifest Fantasy

DrDoritosMD

B68/100
In a world of swords and magic, no one expects an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter. Transferred to Area 51 to babysit a dusty relic, Captain Henry Donnager made peace with a career of raking sand and motor pool Mondays. But when a team of scientists unlocks a portal to the fantastical world of Gaerra, Henry is thrust into command of Alpha Team — an elite military unit tasked with exploration and diplomacy. To gain local trust, they join the renowned Adventurers Guild. It turns out modern firepower handles fantasy monsters just fine, and the Guild doesn't care how the monster dies, only that it does. Quest by quest, Alpha Team rises through ranks meant for wizards, all without a drop of magic. Every victory pulls them closer to the secret at the heart of Gaerra: who built the gateway, and why?

Journey to Veresavir

Rhaegar

B68/100
Veron was fed up with his corporate job in Paris. He quit and moved to the countryside to take a breath and reconsider his path. When he spots a hazy glowing bird of light in the forest and decides to follow it, he receives an offer unlike anything he could have imagined — not a demon king to slay, no rebellion to lead, nor gods looking for a pawn. Simply an adventure. Sent to Renavor, a mountainous valley on the brink of change, Veron arrives alone with magic he is only beginning to wield. Ancient dungeon relics are being unearthed, and beasts of blood and chaos lurk in the dark. Shelter comes first — and then he can figure out the rest.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest

Cathfach

B68/100
Katie is summoned to another world, but the mages responsible quickly realize it was a mistake — they only needed the Hero accidentally summoned alongside her. They send her on a simple fetch quest: retrieve a sword from down the hall and she'll be home in five minutes. When a goddess's blessing takes her wish for adventure rather too literally, Katie finds herself lost in a dark cave, far from the sword and far too close to a population of giant bugs. This is a dark LitRPG adventure in which Katie loses as often as she wins — sometimes with horrific consequences. Luckily, she's not the sort to let a gruesome death or two get her down, and is prepared to try again and again to complete her simple fetch quest.

The Sovereign's Toll

AuthorJS

B68/100
His family was his world. Now he's in a new one. When a fatal accident rips Caleb Foster from his wife and kids, the forty-year-old gets a second chance in a realm of dungeons and monsters. A cosmic system offers him a choice of legendary powers, but Caleb refuses the flashy magic. He chooses the abilities to learn faster, remember perfectly, and master any physical skill. A father's instinct to protect doesn't die with his family. To survive and shield the new lives that depend on him, he must use a lifetime of quiet competence to navigate a dangerous frontier town, hunt deadly beasts, and outwit men who mistake his lack of flash for weakness. In a place where might makes right, Caleb is about to show that the most lethal weapon is a mind that misses nothing.

Save Scumming

RavensDagger

B68/100
He died nine months from today — the day Fortress ENE, his home and one of the few safe cities left in North America, was overrun by a million monsters pouring from the same portals humanity had been exploiting for years. Now he has nine months to find out who engineered the breach, which corporation stands to gain, and who is pulling the levers of power to burn his home down. His assets: a shitty apartment on the outskirts, a job interview in the morning, an obese cat named Mister Couchtop — and the ability to set Save points and Reload to them as often as he wants, reliving days or minutes over and over until he gets everything just right. Yeah. He can do this.

And there's that one other thing: finding a way home before the world ends. But that's the last step in a five-year plan. The first? To play with magic.

Irrelevant Jack

Prax Venter

B67/100
Jack is violently pulled into a game-like universe and dumped into a seaside town on the brink of destruction. When the people of Blackmoor Cove ask about his combat role, Jack discovers his odd Hero Class and finds that parts of his game interface are riddled with exposed coding errors. The only way the town can grow and push back the unknown substance threatening to consume it is if Heroes venture into an infinitely high, ever-changing tower, kill bizarre monsters for their equipment drops, and deposit those items into a special chest. As Jack struggles to level up and help save the people he's grown to care for, he learns the true nature of this simulated world — and his destiny.

Echoes of the Tribulation

Carl Dehal

The year is 1329, and the Horns of the Apocalypse are about to sound. In a small Scottish town, a young boy begins a journey from carpenter's apprentice to one of the most powerful forces in the Host of the Heavens. A path of adversity lies before him, spanning from the Scottish Borders to the Spanish Reconquista, the Holy Land, and realms beyond. His ascension is an unceasing trial where one misstep may condemn his soul — facing mythical beasts, hordes of demons, and fell beings created by the System for the Tribulation of Mankind. Will he live by the Words of God, be guided by his own intent, or will other forces claim him for their own ends?

Saga of the Soul Dungeon

AJFoxmoor

B67/100
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. He's not particularly happy to be dead, so resurrection in any form isn't too bad. The real problem? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has to share mind-space with it. That doesn't even account for the powerful wizard who is understandably reluctant to let a dungeon escape. And even once he manages to escape, he must found and manage a dungeon in a location fraught with complications: it sits on the border of two rival human nations, a sentient plant race claims the ground as sacred, and teams of adventurers keep wandering in looking for a living. Through it all, Caden is determined not to lose his humanity and become just another murder-hobo dungeon.

When Sorin uncovers his ancestor's hidden research notes on forbidden medicine, he must discover what dark deeds his family was involved in — if he and his companions can survive the coming Demon Tide.

Master, This Poor Disciple Died Again Today

Noct

B66/100
In the midst of faking his death, Xiao Hui finds himself transmigrated into a cultivation world. With great hopes for what is to come, he gets taken in by a sect and chosen by a powerful master — except his master seems to have a hole in his brain. As a weakling who recognizes his place in the world, Xiao Hui faces certain death at every turn. So why fight it? He does what he does best: fake it, duck the fallout, and somehow claw his way to the top through a combination of cleverness and enthusiastic self-preservation. A xianxia comedy in the vein of A Will Eternal and Spirit Blade Mountain — neither grimdark nor fluffy, but woven through with both silly and intense moments.

Dead End Guild Master

marshalcarper

B66/100
Hans had a realization that changed the direction of his adventuring career: "above average" is different from "great." At 39, with a litany of lingering injuries, he accepted that he would never progress from Gold-ranked to Diamond-ranked. With his prime behind him and disillusioned by guild politics, he accepts a guild master posting in a remote village — an insignificant position no one else wanted. Looking forward to a quiet life of teaching, Hans arrives in the small town of Gomi at the foot of the Dead End Mountains. As he rebuilds the local chapter of the Adventurers' Guild, his unconventional teaching methods earn him allies and enemies alike, while his career failures find ways to resurface. A slice-of-life fantasy exploring life post-adventuring and the challenge of reconciling dreams with reality.

Mahael the Divine

Robert Blaise

B66/100
Humanity lost an ancient interdimensional war. Now demons, commanded by devil overlords, are exterminating human existence. In a final act of desperation, angels banish a lone world into a starless, lifeless corner of the universe — just out of demonic reach. All they need is a selfless soul willing to become the Final Guardian: an entity whose entire existence is devoted to postponing humanity's end. They get a volunteer. He is no saint. Sadly for the demons, he is something far worse. Every time he dies, he revives. Every time he aids humanity, he grows stronger. There is no winning against an infinitely vast demon army — but he just might be crazy enough to keep losing indefinitely.
