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.

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.

Wolf Girl Evolution [Tails, Teeth, and Too Much Food!]

Aer En'Kalhurn

Her dream is simple and enormous: to taste everything that ever was or will be. To eat, grow, and adventure, she will endure, evolve, and growl her way through a world that underestimates her. She might be a small pup, but nothing — friend or foe — will stop her from getting stronger.

He must discover what it means to exist in a land shaped by raw magic, as days become weeks and weeks become years.

Melia the Magnificent

Dee Elle

B70/100
Born with a rare, terminal disease that took away everything she ever had, Melia made the most of her limited time playing Fantasy Online — a virtual reality MMO where she could run, jump, explore dungeons, craft equipment, and build a living world alongside other players. A year after she passed away, the servers shut down. Something, somewhere, wasn't satisfied with that ending. A hundred years later, Melia wakes up in the body of her character: Meliastraza Obsidianheart, an Archdragon with the ominous class [Destroyer of Worlds] and a level of 3700 — the strongest creature on the planet. Destruction isn't on the menu. Melia would much rather roam around, make friends, fill her belly, and craft ridiculous items. But if someone tries to make her into the next dark lord, they're going to have a problem.

Tinea and Leah

Eleeyah

B70/100
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.

Matoi

B70/100
A party of four set out to destroy the wicked Exaltare, ruler of the Vampires: the Stardust Champion Mizar, a virtuous priest, a retired knight, and a lady Wizard whose wisdom and knowledge proved invaluable. Yet just before they stormed the palace, misfortune befell them — and the Exaltare's lair would not permit two to face its master. Instead of the death he expected, what awaited the surviving hero was mercy, a new role, and a cruel twist of fate as his new life began — as the Exaltare's daughter.

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.

Silv3rtongue

When she starts looking for answers, she discovers just how deep the rabbit hole goes — and just how many others may be out there, touched by a place she cannot comprehend. What are the sides to this conflict she can't yet see? What will she become as she digs deeper into what is — and what might be?

Dungeon World

Jonathan Brooks

B70/100
In a world five times larger than Earth, dungeons and their Dungeon Cores have become the top of the food chain. Millions of dungeons utilize humanity as a source of Mana to facilitate their growth; in turn, humans delve into the dungeons to acquire Essence, allowing them to develop and enhance themselves. It is a symbiotic relationship that has lasted thousands of years. Far in the northern wilds, a young man is left alone when his parents are suddenly murdered. Now without friends, family, or supplies, Fredwynklemossering embarks on a journey to discover what killed his parents — and soon learns of his seemingly impossible status as a Dungeon Core/Human hybrid. With that knowledge comes a shift in his objective: the dangers the humans will face in the future dwarf any personal revenge.

grisaille

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.

She is just here to level, devour, and get stronger. All of that has got nothing to do with her. Until it does.
