Poor Lost Child

C45/100
Jonny was the undefeated king of the octagon — until a group of incompetent goons accidentally killed him while trying to rig his next fight. He wakes up reincarnated as the only son of a duke in a world where magic is ordinary. There's just one problem: a rare condition prevents him from using magic. With his father's brother scheming for his death, Jonny is secretly sent to an orphanage for safety. But Jonny was the strongest before, and he intends to be the strongest again — and his very condition might be exactly what he needs to make that dream a reality.

Brewing Bad

DWinchester

C45/100
Lucas is a dick, but you would be too if you died in a meth lab explosion and found yourself in a fantasy world. Now, with only his ruthlessness and an ever-increasing body of alchemical knowledge, he has to make his way in this new world — because being poor sucks no matter where you are. He has no idea what's going to happen, but he isn't dying again, because he already knows the afterlife is pretty much bullshit.

Lifeweaver: A Healer LitRPG

Soderberg

D44/100
Luke Quinn is twenty-six, broke, and a disappointment to everyone — himself most of all. A promising med student turned burger flipper, he carries guilt over the sister he couldn't cure. Everything changes when an impossible broadcast interrupts every screen on Earth, announcing a "System Integration" and inviting humanity to touch mysterious orbs appearing in every city. Monsters. Magic. Classes. Levels. Earth is no longer just a planet. With nothing left to lose, Luke becomes something vanishingly rare: a healer. But this isn't a game — healing takes nerve, precision, and pain. Luke must master his intricate Lifeweaver powers while navigating a volatile tutorial and a still-intact society scrambling to make sense of it all.

Tiny Dungeon Core

TheBeardedMan

D44/100
When the Archmage Calamvor dies after creating an artificial Dungeon Core, he sets off a chain of events that even the godly High Spirits could not have predicted. His creation — stolen by the most unlikely of creatures — will go on to save the world, one tiny piece at a time. This is the tiniest Dungeon Core in the world, and saving it will probably take a while. Its creatures may not be the fiercest, but they are loyal. That loyalty is tested as dangerous foes come for the Core and the Aether it possesses, while the High Spirits pursue their own agendas and a darkness stirs in the North.

The Court of Souls?

Andur

D44/100
In a world of myths, gods, and demons, only power counts — the weak are worse than cattle, and survival of the fittest is the only law. A lonely child is born with a strange power that places him between light and darkness, shunned by his own people for what he can do. This is not a story of a noble man doing good amid monsters. It is a story of a demon who was, perhaps, kinder than the rest.

That desire will make him truly understand the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" as he finds himself ripped away from everything he knew. His only strength is his ability to simply go with the flow, no matter what happens. Will he survive? Thrive? Find a way home? A semi-interactive story where reader polls help shape the narrative.

Somebody Stop Her

Vitaly S Alexius

In the sleepy town of Saint Mary, the Kilborne superhero family's new neighbors are more than just odd — they're supervillains. School would be a breeze for Martin Kilborne if it weren't for Alexa Terranova, his raygun-toting classmate who recruited him as her minion. Martin becomes quickly tangled in Alexa's supervillain plots: stealing an ice cream van, destroying the Superstate, and bewildering time-travel escapades leaping between his Earth and a dead world 400 years in the future. His life transforms from mundane to madcap — an ever-accelerating train ride with no brakes, packed with adventure, dark comedy, and post-apocalyptic cosmic horror.

Advent of Eternity: A Tactical LitRPG

Actus

D44/100
The Gods were believed to be immortal — so far beyond the natural laws of the universe that their crimes went unpunishable. A clock hung over every mortal, counting down to the day the Goddess of Death claimed them. Knell Coda was never born in the normal sense. He came into the world outside the reach of the gods, to a family that had committed the cardinal sin of defying them. Their meddling wound the hands on a new clock — one that hung above the heads of the gods themselves, because of one secret Knell uncovered: the Gods can be tricked, defeated, and killed. To most, seeking the head of a goddess would be madness. To Knell, it is an inevitability.

Fate Alchemist

Felix Taylor

D44/100
The demons won. The world ended. Wulf, one of the last survivors, is sent back forty-one years to prevent the apocalypse — starting over as a first-year at Istalis Academy with his advancement reset. There's a catch: he's been given a seemingly useless crafting class instead of his former fighter abilities. No one can know, or he'll be expelled. But the more Wulf learns, the more he suspects the class change is no accident — perhaps what mankind needs isn't just his future knowledge, but someone whose legendary class can change fate itself.
