You know what's worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what's worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. Join Coast Guard vet Carl and Princess Donut as they try to survive the end of the world — or just get to the next level — in a video game-like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon that is actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens. Unfortunately for him, he died — and now a transmigrator is stuck in his body. Arrogant young masters? Heavenly tribulations? Life-or-death battles? No thanks. Farm life sounds far more appealing. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you have the strength of ten men, the slow life is genuinely fulfilling, and the girl from the nearby village is surprisingly interesting. The only complication is that feeding Spirit Herbs to a pet rooster may have been a mistake — Qi makes everything a little unpredictable.

Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, superpowered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere. Ryan only sees different routes — and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending, no matter how many loops it takes.

William Oh was born on the hundredth floor of The Tower, steeped in its lethal miasma from his first breath — granting him strange and unnatural powers. Or so the stories go. The truth is more complicated, and the legend is still being written. An orphan whose biggest dream is serving his absent parents a knuckle-sandwich, William knows the only way to reach them is to climb The Tower, the center of the world through which all magic flows. A betrayal, a bit of generosity, and a knack for surviving impossible odds sow the seeds of something much larger — if the boy can outrun the legend he is becoming.

A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities: a status system, classes, magic, and monsters. For Ilea, it didn't arrive quite as expected — there was no king or god to welcome her, and no grand quest to follow. A new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. Transported to a dark yet sometimes funny fantasy world, Ilea Spears — your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast-food worker — must survive in the wild and carve her own path through a world that wants to kill her.

Erin Solstice, a young woman from our world, finds herself transported to a dangerous fantasy realm where humans are one species among many, magic is real, and people level up and gain classes. With no combat skills to speak of, she does the only thing she can: she runs an inn. What begins as a simple struggle to survive in Liscor grows into something vast — adventurers, Goblins, Antinium, Drakes, and travelers from across the world converge on the Wandering Inn, while empires rise and fall, dungeons stir, and Erin's choices ripple further than anyone expects.

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 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 need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm?

Jason wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters. He'll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, and monsters — and that's just the first day. He's going to need courage, wit, and some magic powers of his own. But first, he's going to need pants. Follow Jason as he makes a place for himself in a world that is strange, yet sometimes strangely familiar. He'll meet crime lords and aristocrats, gods and monsters on his path from would-be victim to heroic adventurer. At least, he tries to be heroic. It's hard to be good when all your powers are evil.

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny. Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain in the most superhero-riddled city in the world, Perry has never felt adequate — no talent for magic and not a scrap of superpowers to his name. When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother. Maybe there's a way he can do both.

After his parents died, Alex Roth had one plan: become a wizard. Through hard work he earned a place at Generasi, the world's greatest university of wizardry. Then fate intervened—on his eighteenth birthday he is Marked as one of his kingdom's five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener. His brand is "The Fool," the worst of the marks. Rather than die or serve the other Heroes, Alex takes his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, and flees for the university. There he hopes to find refuge, study magic, and unravel the truth about his land's great evil. The only complication: the Mark prevents him from learning and casting spells—unless he can learn to exploit the hell out of it.

When Syl died, they were given a choice: reincarnate as a normal person, or embark on a daring experiment. Driven by a desire to honor their late Gramps, Syl chose the experiment — and woke up as a farmed slime, constantly at the mercy of humans and in danger of having their core destroyed by children. After a daring escape to the wilderness, Syl discovers the joy of eating everything they encounter — and the challenge of surviving a world where every creature sees them as prey, experience, or an exploitable resource. The biggest question: can Syl make any friends?

She became a dungeon core. Everything pointed Delta toward murdering her way to success — people were just mana farms, right? No. That was wrong. Delta refused. Then everything became odd.

By a stroke of fate, a stone gains sentience and sets out on a grand quest to touch grass. Unfortunately, the system forgot to change its stats from metric values to the appropriate Str/Int/Dex values. Things escalate. Fast. Features cultivation, jade beauties, and numbers going up — ridiculously up, all of them — courtesy of arguably the most balanced protagonist of all time.

In a dystopian future, life at the bottom is brutal. Jobs don't exist in the real world, and millions survive only by working in VR worlds as servants to the wealthy. The last surviving AI has been ordered to build a new game world — a playground for the rich and a global marketplace for corporations. Ozzy and his friends just want a paycheck. Four friends sign five-year contracts as virtual serfs in a small village, barred from adventuring entirely. Handed mops instead of swords, they face a simple choice: work as a blacksmith, barmaid, and shepherd for five years — or cheat, find the loopholes, and carve out a piece of the world for themselves.

Vainqueur Knightsbane is your average dragon: a giant, fire-breathing lizard who loves to nap on his golden hoard, kidnap princesses for fun, and make the lives of adventurers miserable. His only pleasure in life is watching his treasure grow, 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?

When a royal draft tests everyone for magical Potential, Luke barely qualifies—and when he steps through the portal to begin training, he's pulled to a plane that shouldn't exist. With no class trainer and no guidance, survival seems impossible. Luke decides he wants to live, and keeping his humanity isn't going to help. His best chance is going Full Murderhobo.

Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of steel and concrete. He spends his days repairing the machinery that keeps his habitat livable and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body navigate 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. When the criminals he escaped from return, stealing everything from them seems like a fine way to stay busy — especially when the haul includes a new MK7 immersion pod used to enter the virtual world of Genesis. Milo has always lived in tunnels, and now he's a Tunnel Rat in looks, not just name. He wants to go deep, find ancient mysteries, make new friends, and fix things. Hopefully he fixes more than he breaks, or this new world might be in trouble.

A normal guy gets hit by a truck and isekai'd — because trucks are apparently some cosmic loophole. Offered the chance to be reincarnated as a dungeon, he decides it sounds weird and interesting enough to try. Slowly building himself up from a small, run-down hovel into a local legend known as Thedeim, the dungeon learns the ropes: gathering mana, managing delvers and adventurers, dealing with rogue dungeons and evil entities — all while finding it far more fun to befriend the people passing through than to terrify them.

Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true — everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones. The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer, a strapping young lad named Himmel. Armed with his grandfather's trusty longsword and the dream of being the strongest, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime — reaching Level 5 in the dungeon called the "newbie zone" to earn the right to become a full-fledged adventurer. His plans get hopelessly derailed, however, when his adolescent mind beholds an exposed chest for the very first time. A fateful meeting that will lead his life in a direction he never dreamed of.

On Arth — a world much like ours but with more magic and fewer vowels — adventuring is a fully commercialized industry. Monster hoards are securitized and sold off before the Heroes' Guild even kills the beasts. The Shadowkin (orcs, goblins, kobolds and their ilk) must carry NPC paperwork to avoid being legally looted and killed. When washed-up dwarven ex-hero Gorm Ingerson defends an undocumented goblin, he's recruited by a prophet of the mad goddess for a suicidal quest — one that powerful corporations and governments are watching very closely.
