They say he is an immortal being who circles the dreams of mortal men, resurfacing wherever the need is greatest. Those who disparage him will fall into despair, but if you're a Climber in a tight scrape, look to the sky and say a little prayer. Maybe he will appear?Odds are probably better if you pay for my drink. - Rumor overheard on a 1st Floor Tavern. Originator did not pay his tab.

New Life as a Max Level Archmage

ArcaneCadence

S+94/100
Book one is available on Kindle Unlimited and Audible. Vivienne has poured so many hours into the massively popular VRMMO The Seven Cataclysms that she has more of a life inside the game than out. It's a fitting irony, then, when one day she wakes in the body of her maxed-out demon-mage 'Vivisari'—and finds that now, the game really is her life. But the world of Seven Cataclysms isn't what she remembers. A hundred years have passed since the game's concluding events, and Vivisari is a hero of myth thought long dead. As she meets old faces and new in this familiar-yet-not world—casting spells of mass destruction and slowly reforming the scattered-to-the-wind remnants of her Guild—she starts to wonder if she was sent here with a purpose. Rumors of a sequel had been circulating just before her unbelievable reincarnation. Did she, perhaps, need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm? If so, it's a good thing she has firepower in spades.

Mark of the Fool

J.M. Clarke (U Juggernaut)

S+93/100
Hello, folks, just to tell ya, chapters 8 to 633 have been published on Kindle and Audible. That's up to book 7. The audiobook is narrated by Travis Baldree!After his parents died, Alex Roth had a plan: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the world’s greatest university of wizardry—but fate had another plan. On his eighteenth, he is marked as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool', worst of the marks. Rather than die or serve the other Heroes like Fools in the past, he packs up his little sister, his childhood friend and her cerberus, then flees for the university in hope of refuge, magic and to unravel the truth about his land’s evil. There’s one small problem: The Mark tries to ruin magic while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat and spellcraft.… …that is, unless he can learn to exploit the hell out of it.*****This the first time I am writing a web novel type story, and I hope you like it. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me.Updates Tues-Wed-Thur-Fri-Sat.There are currently 20 advanced chapters on my patreon as a thank you to patrons.Join us on discord! https://discord.gg/A4M3CzfWBnChapters will be roughly 2000-2500 words.***Rating: This story is kind of like a PG-13 movie. There'll be gore and some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you. Tone: Tone will be a mix of some action-adventure with excitement, comedy, slice of life elements and mystery. I won't be going too dark with this story. There will be mentions of war, some death, grief and violence.MC: MC is analytical/rational with emotions. He is mostly in control of those emotions. MC will progress in power, eventually becoming very strong. Strong Lead tag added.Fights: Fights will be detailed.***Stuff this story won't have:- Extreme grimdark content - Murderhobo plots - Edgy, anti-hero MC - Pacifist MC - Harems

Vainqueur Knightsbane is your average dragon: a giant, fire-breathing lizard who loves to take naps on his golden hoard, kidnap princesses for fun, and make the life of adventurers miserable. Vainqueur's only pleasure in life is to watch his treasure get bigger, one coin at a time. So when a would-be thief turned unwilling minion tells him about "classes," "levels," and "quests," Vainqueur wonders if maybe, just maybe, he should consider a career change. After all, why bother hunting monsters for free when you can get paid for it?

Butcher of Gadobhra, Volumes 1,2 and 3 are available on Amazon and Audible. Volume 4 will be leaving RR in the latter months of 2026. (Amazon Rules, not by my choice.

Jobs are nonexistent. Far too many people live in poverty, crammed into huge buildings called Habitats. With no jobs in the real world, many people can only find work online in VR worlds as servants to the very rich. And it's getting worse. The old internet is unusable and hacked to pieces. The new system needs AI to run things, but all but one of them were destroyed. The last sentient AI is ordered to create a new game world so the rich can have a playground and the corporations that rule the world can have a new global marketplace. Everyone wants a piece of the new game. The guilds are competing to be the first to find the dungeons and kill the biggest monster. The corporations are claiming land and building their online marketplaces. Ozzy and his friends just want a paycheck. Four friends sign five-year contracts as virtual serfs in a small village, and can't go adventuring at all to gain money. They don't have many choices. They can work as a blacksmith, barmaid, and shepherd for all those years....or they can cheat and find ways to take advantage of the system and carve out a section of the game world for themselves, and earn a fortune in the real world.When they give you a mop and not a sword, you have to find the loopholes and change the rules.

S+90/100
Volumes 1 to 4 of Tunnel Rat are Available on KU. Volume 5 will be coming out the end of 2026. (Which means the chapters in Volume 5 come off of RR sometime in the 4th quarter.)https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0D98TW5F2?maas=&ref=Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of steel and concrete. He spends his days repairing the machinery that keeps the habitat livable and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body move about through the small tunnels and air shafts that are his world. He's as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he keeps running. He likes to fix things, which is good because he sometimes breaks things. But lately, he's been getting bored, and for a super-genius, that's a bad thing. Luckily, the criminals he escaped from are back. Stealing everything from them will keep him busy, especially when he steals a new MK7 immersion pod used to enter the world of Genesis. Milo has always lived in the tunnels, and now he's a Tunnel Rat in looks, not just name. He wants to go deep into the world and find the ancient mysteries left by races that delved deep and stayed below.He'll find new mysteries to solve, new friends, things to fix, terrifying creatures to aggravate, and things to break. Hopefully, he fixes more than he breaks, or this new world might be in trouble. And thanks to the artist of that handsome rat for inspiration.

Clara Casewell, Attorney to the Villainess [Vol 1 Complete]

cocopi

S87/100
Clara Casewell is an ambitious up-and-coming associate at an international corporate law firm. Yet underneath her serious lawyerly persona lies a woman with a passion for all sorts of villainess stories. It doesn’t matter how trashy or badly written they are: as long as it’s got a haughty girl and a brooding duke, Clara will devour it like popcorn! After a heated year at the firm, Clara ekes out a promotion to Senior Counsel over her rival, the cocky Warren Righton. But on her way to celebrate, a bout of turbulence sends her plane spiraling down. When Clara wakes up, she’s wearing a… maid’s uniform? She finds herself in a world of nobles and magic, not social media and corporate grind. And there’s one more problem: Clara’s master is the notorious villainess Iris von Rhenia, and Iris and Clara are about to be put on trial for poisoning the heroine. A trial based on truth magic, where the accused get no defense. Join Clara as she learns the ins-and-outs of the unfair, convoluted, and often fantastical courts of the Holy Kingdom of Arcadia, meeting a colorful cast of characters including the heir to the Duke of the North™—but why does he look eerily like her annoying rival Warren?! Surely fantasy law can’t be harder than modern cross-border taxation, right? What to expect: ✦ Ace Attorney-inspired comedic legal drama, featuring mysteries with enough clues to be solved by the reader ✦ Slow burn rivals to lovers romance ✦ Character-focused interludes with Otome Isekai elements blended with aristocratic politics ✦ A competent but not overpowered MC who faces both warmth and adversity ✦ Plenty of OBJECTIONs! Book 1 cover art by Kisielec. Book 2 cover art and header art by 00chovo. Regular updates on Mondays and Fridays, occasional updates on Wednesdays.
