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.

Deadworld Isekai

RC Joshua

B70/100
Lots of people get isekai'd, and Matt is no exception. After a quickly resolved misunderstanding with a truck-shaped system assistant, he's sent to Gaia — the garden planet. The truck assures him it's a really good fit. It would probably be right, too, if Gaia wasn't a burned-out wasteland completely devoid of life. Matt has all the system-granted advantages of a LitRPG isekai hero — it's just that he arrived a little late for them to do anyone any good. Now he's starving, wandering a sterilized featureless wasteland that doesn't much care about his improved stats, and searching for a system-issued guardian that might not even exist.

True Calling

Thad Ward

B70/100
As a programmer, Ike knows all about Virtual Dive Experiences — but when he suddenly wakes up in a virtual game he has never heard of, he is too busy struggling to survive to worry about how he got there. Luckily, he has a trick up his sleeve: the ability to program custom enchantments for his gear. He will need that and more to figure out what is going on, since there is no tutorial and True Calling plays by its own rules: your class and race are chosen for you, the NPCs are indistinguishable from the players, every quest is unique, and the GMs keep leaving Ike's prayers unanswered.

Dan Sugralinov

At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer struggling to make ends meet. On the day his wife dumps him, he receives a mysterious piece of wetware — a game interface implanted in his brain that allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player. Now that Phil can see his real-life stats, they're far below average. But real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. As Phil begins to improve himself guided by his own conscience, he must also find out who implanted the mysterious game in his brain — and how he's supposed to deal with an apparently omnipotent unknown force.

Crimson Eternal

WolfShine

B70/100
Death is an inevitability for all — except Aria. In a world locked in war, with most continents already wiped out before a Great Treaty banned strategic-level weaponry, Aria Crimson finds herself lost. Treated as a weapon by the military since childhood, she has almost forgotten what it was like not to be at war. When a System screen appears before every person on the planet, humanity gains classes, levels, and new powers — just as invaders from another world declare war to claim the planet for themselves. After ten years of fighting, Aria finally has a way out. One that involves even more fighting. As the only True Immortal in the universe, dubbed by the System as Death itself, she must figure out what that means for her future.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B70/100
Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher — a mortician's apprentice — finds himself held captive by the dead. Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently. A lot of very powerful people find this upsetting — an ancient cabal of liches, a noble order of truthseekers, and the kingdom's assassin's guild all want that power for themselves. Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.
