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.

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.

Dan Sugralinov

B70/100
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.

Weeaboo's Unfortunate Isekai: The Necromancer's Gacha

Warby Picus

B70/100
Getting isekai'd into a gameworld full of waifus was supposed to be the dream. Unfortunately, the mysterious black-robed figure who did the summoning grabbed the wrong guy, and now the protagonist faces waves of monsters intent on terrible things. The game turns out to be a gacha, which means desperately earning money to pull summons, building fortifications, furnishing a tower, and gearing up — all while grappling with the existential horror of gacha economics. The necromancers who built this game are going to pay. A base-building, summoner-focused isekai with no harem, featuring tower defense mechanics and dark humor.

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.

The world has just undergone a radical change, forcing Steve to fight the undead, bandits, and nature itself as everything falls apart around him.

Ares_00

B70/100
Never play a game 100 times, no matter how addicting it is. ~My Lovely Harem School Life~ is a well-known dating sim famous for its beautiful heroines and the significance of player choices that influence the endings. So why did the protagonist end up transmigrating into Yagami Reiji — the scummiest character in the game, heir to the biggest Yakuza group in the country? The trash who harassed the main cast, bullied students, and stole heroines if the player made the wrong decisions. A walking bad ending. Now trapped in a life that isn't his, surrounded by classmates who flinch at his presence and a father who expects him to inherit an empire built on blood, he must decide: can he rewrite Reiji's fate before the past drags him down with it?

Crimson Eternal

WolfShine

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.

Ascension of the Primalist

NB.Dravenlord

B70/100
Seth was just a commoner from the outskirts, someone who could only dream of the Wielders' world — a realm of Ranks, attributes, and spells forever beyond his reach. Until the day he awakened as a Primalist. To escape a life of misery, Seth enrolls in one of the nation's elite academies, only to find himself stepping into a society rotting with injustice. Equality of chances is a lie; power is inherited, not earned. Fortunately, his new class feeds on danger rather than privilege: the riskier the hunt, the greater the gain. To rise, Seth must abandon caution and seek fights where survival is never guaranteed — and become the strongest predator the wild has ever seen.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B69/100
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.
