Rivera's Repairs: Dungeon Repairwoman

M.S. Davidson

B69/100
Nineteen-year-old repair technician Tess Rivera lives on Tertius-Prime, a crumbling megacity built atop a dungeon that has been "cleared" for twenty years. The power grid fails nightly, her father's health is declining, and their freighter-home is one broken component away from becoming a coffin. When desperation drives her into the dungeon's outdated tutorial system, it malfunctions—and Tess fixes it herself, accidentally acquiring a {null} class no one has ever heard of. No combat skills, no normal leveling. Just the ability to see dungeon code, interface with broken systems, and talk to an AI that has been alone for far too long. The "cleared" dungeon is not empty. It has just been abandoned. And Tess's "broken" class might be exactly what is needed to wake it back up.

Carl Dehal

The year is 1329, and the Horns of the Apocalypse are about to sound.

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?

Magus Reborn

Extra26, T.C. Liyanage

B69/100
Kai of the Sorcerer's Tower was one of the last Mages left, barely surviving in a world contaminated with dead mana and ruled by creatures of the dark. To save his world, he attempts a forbidden regression ritual — and overshoots by thousands of years, finding himself in an ancient era within the body of a young lord named Arzan, who was mysteriously murdered just before Kai arrived. Beasts are rampant, larger threats loom, and Kai must regain his former strength in a time of primitive technology. But with knowledge of the future, he might just be able to change the course of history entirely.

Agenda of the Villainess

ThaviaVex

B68/100
As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life — and certainly not memories inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. A steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, set in a late Victorian-inspired world with a system of magic based around floral circuitry.

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

B67/100
The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest. Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion. Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn't ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn't matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage — Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn't starting now. He was already a god; now, he'll have to become the god.

Tales of the Endless Empire

The Curator

B67/100
A bloodmage born in shadows, a shapeshifter no one can predict, a survivor in a world set against him. Thalion's life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy — until the System arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others. The System granted people magic and even ways to defy time itself, but the tutorial has become more of a slaughter trial than a learning experience. A post-apocalyptic LitRPG featuring an adaptive magic system that evolves based on its wielder, multi-POV storytelling, and expansive worldbuilding.

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.

The Breath of Creation

Infamous Goose

B67/100
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the known universes and given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, they are free to interact with each other—and with whatever lurks in the depths of the Abyss, the Void, and the Primordial Chaos. One of those souls navigates the overwhelming demands of divine stewardship: raising mortals into an immortal army, managing squabbling children, and maintaining the balance between all realms of existence. Being a deity, it turns out, is incredibly complicated.

But what if you were dropped into a universe you really don't want to be in, with powers that attract a cult of child kidnappers at best? A Star Wars: The Old Republic self-insert following the Sith Warrior storyline, where knowledge is power — but power through knowledge alone may not be enough to survive.

The Sect Leader System

bwfoster78

B67/100
After meeting Truck-kun, Benton — a grandfather and an overall nice man — is transmigrated into the body of Chao Su in a brutal, might-makes-right cultivation world. His career in middle management gives him ample experience leading people, and those skills should translate to running a sect. Unfortunately, things aren't that simple. Benton quickly realizes that his plan to let his recruits fight for him won't work. He'll need to get up to speed on life in a cultivation world fast, because danger is on the way: a beast tide threatens his new territory, rival sects don't like the balance of power being upset, and the demonic cultivators that destroyed Chao Su's prior sect are still out there. The MC cannot cultivate himself and advances through cultivation realms by earning points from the System, treating his sect members like a doting grandfather rather than a typical Xianxia protagonist.

In the Tze Empire, spirits and demons rule the wilds, but Ring Warlocks control civilization.

Suddenly he is no longer at the fringes of power — he is a Ring Warlock granted his own territory. Determined to make his prefecture thrive, he must contend with jealous rivals, demons seeking his ring, and forces he cannot yet name.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children — simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world: a place with culture, economics, and politics, inhabited by people with their own passions, goals, and prejudices. What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself in a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility — but not all of those possibilities are good?

Dungeon Core Chat Room

Bluelightning42

B66/100
In this world, each race was gifted a System by the gods to compensate for their shortcomings — humans received the Skill System, elves the World Tree System. Dungeon Cores, however, were given the Dungeon Connection System: a magical internet allowing cores to barter monsters, traps, and knowledge, and to entertain each other with adventure streams. This is the story of a dungeon core unluckily spawned far from any adventurers, forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in the world. A slower-paced tale of experimentation, magical crafting, and steady progression — closer to slice-of-life than frantic combat, with a focus on building something extraordinary from scratch.

How I Was Accidentally Summoned in a Cult as the Demon Princess

North Drake

B65/100
Lily Carter juggles lectures, convenience store night shifts, and a secret life as Lilithia Nocturne — a top-ranked demon princess in the VRMMORPG Xantia. Then a robbery, a gunshot, and blackout. She wakes on cold stone in a glowing blood circle, wearing Lilithia's regal armor and horns for real. A bargain-bin cult calling itself the Children of the Abyss summoned her on purpose — by accident. They wanted a real demoness, not a nerdy girl cosplaying one. They're incompetent, fanatical, and inconveniently the only people who don't want to burn a demon on sight. Lily plans to humor them, learn the world, and bail. Instead, rumors snowball, idiots congregate, and an accidental empire starts forming in her name.
