Salvos

MelasDelta

A82/100
The life of an Infant Demon is a bloody grind to the top. For Salvos, a curious newborn Demon with a penchant for making friends, surviving the swarms of wild Demons in the Netherworld was always going to be a difficult task. She will adapt, gain experience, and evolve to survive this hellish landscape with the help of her sole companion. But when her companion's life is threatened by a mysterious Demon King, she'll have to separate from him and be tossed into an unfamiliar world of humans and monsters — where she is scorned for being born a Demon. The law of evolution is survival of the fittest, and no matter where she is, Salvos will survive.

Beyond lies limitless power and realms stretching far past the borders of his empire. In this System, there can only be one Slayer.

Past Life Hero

BlaiseCorvin

A81/100
Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on Albion, a sword-and-sorcery world where he was hailed as the Hero of the World after crawling up from poverty to fame and luxury. On mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. When Earth is suddenly attacked and its natural laws begin to change, Max gets a new opportunity to reclaim some of his lost power — and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path. The universe is far larger than he ever knew, and the drive to excel has never left him.

Magical Fusion

Jonathan Brooks

A81/100
Larek Holsten is different from most people — his seven-foot frame draws suspicion in the Kingdom of Androthe, but as long as it helps him fell trees in the magical forest, he doesn't mind. His best friend is an axe imbued with a powerful Fusion that makes it sharper and stronger than any normal tool. A deliberate misunderstanding lands Larek in trouble, and he is taken from his family and ordered to attend an academy for Mages. He has no desire to become a Mage; all he wants is to return home. But when he discovers a unique talent stemming from his newly unlocked latent power, he might just have to stick around. A weak-to-strong story with LitRPG progression, statistics, and a heavy crafting emphasis.

Paladin Of The Forsaken Lands

jollybane

A81/100
Vrax should be dead by now, and he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here — delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands at level zero, being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class. Until then, he'll just have to outwit or outrun the horrors most sane adventurers avoid. Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential: one that lets him fight the horrors he's been running from his whole life using even worse creatures of his own making. Steady progression from level zero, with a unique power set that lets him craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.

The Demon Queen Wants To Live. [Yuri, Progression Fantasy]

TheLastSurvivor

A81/100
Lysanthia, the strongest Demon Queen, spent centuries trying to die — not because she wanted death, but because it was the only way to break her chains. Her reincarnation spell worked, mostly. She woke in a forest nearly a thousand years in the future, in a body not quite hers, stripped of her overwhelming power. A world without a System. Without Classes. Without the Gods watching her every step. Her reincarnation is complicated by the presence of Ash, the Hero who slew her. Thrust into a world almost completely alien yet somehow recognizable — where power is etched in Ink — she must start from nothing. And for the first time in eons, some people show her kindness for no reason at all. That might be harder than starting over.

As the world falls apart, billions die, and society collapses, James discovers he was wrong to think himself insignificant.

Hyperion Evergrowing: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

Nilsimus

A81/100
Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle. As dawn breaks, opportunistic creatures stalk the aftermath of bloody conflict — and one such being, an entity of twisted and blighted wood, implants his dying body with the parasitic seed of a carnivorous plant. Identity shattered and levels lost, Leif is reborn as a sapling in a newly formed wilderness. When the primal need to reclaim his lost humanity uproots him, he embarks on an era-spanning journey that will change both him and the world forever. The story explores what it means to be forcibly altered against one's will, and the consequences of that change — alongside animal companions, kingdom building, heavy world-building, and a subplot about the origin of the system itself.

M. H. Johnson

Alex was willing to do anything to survive terminal cancer — even have his mind uploaded into a digital universe of countless worlds while his body waited for a cure. He expected to wake gradually into a peaceful existence. Instead, he regains consciousness naked and alone in the bowels of an ancient ship crewed by raiders carrying enough poison to kill an entire city. The choices he makes from that moment will have profound consequences — for him and for an entire realm. Alex faces bloodthirsty pirates, ruthless cultivators, and fearsome demigods as he takes his first steps on a path that might one day forge him into a cultivator powerful enough to challenge the heavens.

There are a lot of things wrong with Liv Brodbeck. She's too small — working in the castle kitchens with her mother, she can't carry a sack of flour or roll a keg of ale. The chirurgeon says she has brittle bones, barring her from the rough play other children enjoy. Everyone says she ruined her mother's life when she was born. A child like Liv doesn't have much hope. But when she accidentally unleashes a surge of wild magic, she takes her first step on a journey that will lead her from the kitchens of Castle Whitehill, to the cold palaces of the Eld, and beyond — to the graves of gods.

The Menocht Loop

caerulex

A81/100
Ian Dunai is trapped in the only maze an arch-decemancer can't escape: Time. Only 1% of the population is blessed with magic affinity at birth, and fewer still have affinities high enough to rule. Ian's decemancy eclipses all, granting him ultimate control over Death — he conquers cities with a thought and turns them to ruins with a gesture. But overwhelming power isn't enough to escape the time loop or reveal its purpose. When Ian discovers a critical clue he missed years ago, escape is finally within reach. Little does he know, it's only the first realm.

He's the unluckiest person he knows — bullied relentlessly, unable to make friends in any meaningful capacity. But everything would change if only he were reborn with power. Then he could slay towards glory… or die trying.

What do you get when you cross nanomachines controlled by a volatile AI with a bleeding-edge military-grade cybernetic implant and a gutter rat out to prove everyone wrong? A forced experimental drug treatment at an early age has saddled David with an immense burden. His mother's death has left him adrift and unsure of his direction. So he does what any teenager with no more cares left to give does — chips in some mil-spec chrome and looks for a quick way to earn edds, all the while learning to utilize the nanotechnology forced on him as a child. Corpo or Edgerunner? Why not both? And why not the best of both while we're at it?

E.M. Hardy

A80/100
At seventeen, Renan Saneris was still waiting for a talent to emerge. While everyone around him got a Class and moved on, he tried his hand at Smithing, Sword Fighting, and Artistry with little result — no skill trees, no saved experience, no class features. One day, etching symbols into a blade as a gift for his best friend, the glyphs start glowing and awaken something in him: Artificer, Level One. No one around him has ever heard of such a class. But when strange shadows attack his village and he barely chases them off with one of his new creations, Renan decides to investigate — and discovers that his mysterious Class may be more than meets the eye.
