The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within ever-dying cities, and Mages create the only path forward. Tala fought tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge her own path to power. She skipped a few steps along the way—like actually apprenticing to someone who knows what they're doing. Now she must balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the Academy's crushing debt, all while staying alive in a world that considers her a Mage before she's truly ready to be one.

Dungeon Devotee

Nixia

A84/100
Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams — until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world's greatest predator with a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind. With every level he earns, every piece of loot that drops, every secret he uncovers, and especially every bit of power he can squeeze from his mysterious connection to the Aspect of Madness, Edmund crawls closer to accomplishing that insurmountable feat. With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon's right back.

Comedian0 L

A84/100
Ludger was supposed to be just another forgotten soul, reborn into a quiet life. With nothing but a mysterious system in his vision and the faint promise of growth, he resigned himself to learning the humble trade of cooking — until one reckless night in a tavern, when a hooded mage and a simple spell shattered the illusion of normalcy forever. Marked by the system as a prodigy, Ludger finds himself with access to every Job, every Class, and every Master's path. He refuses to let his second life waste away like his first. From kitchen tricks to forbidden magic, every choice reshapes not only his future but the balance of power around him — and what begins as a child's daily grind slowly transforms into the legend of a boy who refuses to follow anyone's script but his own.

The Bad Guys

Eric Ugland

Yesterday Ben was a small-time criminal fleecing New York's upper class. Today he has a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. He thinks he might be able to use his skills in disarmament and deception to help people this time around. Maybe.

Tomorrow he needs to rescue a girl, steal a crown, join a guild, and — most importantly — convince an innkeeper to make a decent bacon and cheese omelette.

The Mine Lord: A Dwarven Survival Base-Builder

Trae McMaken

A84/100
When a young dwarf named Yorvig travels to a mining claim in the wilds of the Red Ridges, he learns by hard experience that his fellow prospectors are more focused on ore than survival. Thinking he alone can hold disaster at bay, Yorvig plots his way to becoming captain of the mine. He only expected to lead in a fight against starvation, but far greater danger arrives in forms both fair and foul. The mine grows beyond what they ever imagined, and while Yorvig's authority must grow with it, the challenges of love and loyalty will not make it easy — nor will the old foe determined to drive the dwarven folk from the Red Ridges.

Power Overwhelming

Flamebeard

A84/100
A transmigrated soul wakes in a new world, finding a new family and — more importantly — magic. Not the muscle-bound kind that obeys the square-cube law, but something entirely different: a force with no physical volume, and therefore no apparent ceiling on its power. There are also scary monsters in this world, which makes getting stronger sensible enough. But the real obsession is simpler — finding out just how far the magic can be pushed.

Here Be Dragons: Book 1 of the Emergence Series

Second_Sol

A84/100
Billions of years ago, Earth formed a little differently — less iron, more water — and the first humans evolved on a lone continent surrounded by vast oceans spanning 97.5% of the planet. For millennia, humanity believed their island to be the only land in existence, until satellites revealed two distant continents. An expedition of humanity's best and brightest sets out — only for a series of disasters to wipe out all but one of the crew. Doctor Alexander Pryce becomes the first and only man to step foot on foreign soil. Alone, he struggles to carry on the mission, and in doing so draws the attention of an inquisitive and highly intelligent dragon. Desolate but not alone, Pryce begins the painstaking process of learning to communicate with an alien species — and becomes the sole representative of humanity whose actions will determine the future of both their kinds.

A Matter of Time

Blue Moon 13

A83/100
For ten years, Huan Yue has lived a quiet life, serving tea and hiding from the world of god-like cultivators who shattered her family for a petty slight. All she wants is to remain invisible. But on the morning she turns twenty, a mysterious cultivator hunts her down and murders her — and then she awakens in her bed at the start of the very same day, trapped in a waking nightmare. Hunted by a team of relentless and seemingly invincible assassins, Yue discovers that within her curse lies a weapon. If she cannot escape as a mortal, she will become something more. With each death, terror fades and is replaced by burning rage. Forced to walk the path of the very people she despises, she will use the endless cycle to forge her spirit and sharpen her skills. Her hunters believe she is an insignificant pest to be exterminated. They don't realize they've given their victim the one thing she needs to claim her revenge: time.

Mage Tank

Cornman8700

A83/100
After being killed by a high-velocity tree, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately, there is no tutorial. Arlo is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of strangers, possessing no armor, no weapons, and no knowledge of this world — and his paper-thin excuses for how he got there are growing thin. There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke. Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes his highest stat, Intelligence, and dumps everything into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and ask for more hot sauce? Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG set in an epic fantasy world rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered, featuring slow progression, intelligent characters who make intentional build choices, and real consequences.

BOC AU: Elder, But Younger Sister

CasualFarmer

A83/100
Once, Shen Bu destroyed everything his father had ever worked for — burning the new home to ashes, consuming his mother's cultivation, and slaying the unborn daughter within her. Three hundred years later, Shen Yu is still searching for anything to save that daughter's life, crippled and hidden in a realm where time is slowed to preserve her. No progress has been made. Feeling the weight of his quest, he returns to the city of his birth to drown his sorrows — and meets a boy who finally gives him hope. Waking up in the body of an eight-year-old kid dying of plague in a xianxia setting was not anyone's idea of a good time. The new inhabitant lacks a cheat or a system, but a chance meeting with an unremarkable middle-aged man who likes talking about medicine may prove more valuable than it seems.

The saying goes that when a man is born, the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. When he dies, that swaddle becomes his shroud. Heaven moves on. To question the Fates is audacity. To transgress the line of divinity, scale Olympus Mons, and defy the threads of destiny is hubris — a mark every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

Hohenfels

Perseus XXVII.

The Holy Empire is in decline. Religious and cultural schisms wreak havoc on its internal politics, revolutions are brewing in neighboring kingdoms, and the aristocratic houses play endless power games while the Emperor clings to what little influence he has left. Amidst all of this, Arnold von Hohenfels — first son of the Margrave — finds himself compelled to attend the Imperial Academy, a notorious battleground of wits and brawn for ambitious young nobles. Armed with a magical gift that is as much curse as blessing, he must navigate treacherous aristocratic entanglements, represent his family's interests, manage formidable enemies, forge alliances, and somehow keep his brash cousin Friedrich out of trouble. Frankly, he would much rather be anywhere else.
