Phantom Star

Seras

S+90/100
Katherine has grown up again — in the far and distant future, on a space station where her family scrapes a living by salvaging broken-down spaceships. Living in space is exciting for a former modern girl, but something deeper calls to her: the glimmering stars beyond the viewport. She wants to see them all. To do that, she'll need to grow up, and build her future with her own hands. Fortunately, technology sings to her — guiding her in repair and construction as she builds helpers, builds a ship, and builds a life among the rough-and-tumble frontier stars.

Daniel Schinhofen

S+90/100
Sean was waiting at a bar when a confrontation set in motion a meeting with gods: Odin, Archangel Michael, Lucifer, and Morrigan all vied for his soul.

In this world ruled by Summer and Winter Queens, words have power and Agreements are binding. Sean must find his place while navigating Fey politics, forging bonds, and reckoning with the consequences of the choices he makes.

Samson Chui

S+90/100
Ren Varrow was never the hero type — a quiet alchemist who kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should have ended. Instead, it rewound. Thrown back to Day One, before the Tower rose and before the betrayals, Ren knows what's coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth's destruction. Armed with future knowledge, he's ready to rewrite everything — from building a guild out of nobodies to crafting mythic-grade potions to surviving a hundred deadly floors.

Guardian of Aster Fall

David North

S+90/100
Across the world of Aster Fall, there are unique classes that cannot be trained through normal means — they require quests and accomplishments that simply don't exist yet. Some say the World Law itself is broken. Sam Hastern's family has been cursed by one of these classes for fifty years: the Battlefield Reclaimer, a class no one has ever managed to level, condemning them to poverty in a barren village. Then a dungeon exploration leaves Sam looking distinctly non-human. In a world of mana crystals, beast cores, spirit veins, and elemental storms, Sam must master rare and evolving classes and confront the forces threatening to break Aster Fall apart.

As a Master of Crafts, he has all the professions and tools he needs to build a homestead and survive.

The Hundred Reigns

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

S89/100
For twenty years, Balzam Magnos terrorized the world as its third Overlord — conquering kingdoms, slaughtering heroes, crushing rebels. None could stand up to him. But then he died, and Simon is now stuck with his Class. Owning the most powerful Class in the world has its downsides. The paladins want his head. His overpowered siblings want his throne. His empress stepmother wants both. And his predecessor's assassin is still out there. But the Overlord Class has a secret: its user can turn back time to their coronation up to a hundred times, reliving their reigns until death. Simon has a hundred reigns to grow strong enough to fulfill his dreams. Not one more, not one less. Better make each one count.

The Archmage Coefficient

onedayokay

S87/100
Magic was chaos. Now it's chemistry. Through Stoichiomancy, power is measured, quantified, and controlled. Ascension follows a strict ladder, each tier with a fixed number of sanctioned seats. There are no anomalies — until Arielle Blacksoil. Born to a bloodline without magic, Arielle should have been invisible to the system. Instead, an accident reveals the impossible: she's an unsanctioned archmage. If discovered, they'll strip her power or turn her into a weapon. To survive, Arielle enrolls in the Academy and pretends to climb the ranks while hiding magic that eclipses her professors. For the first time in her life she has rivals, teammates — maybe even friends. But hiding overwhelming power isn't easy, and soon she's embroiled in faction conflict, foiling villainous plots, and hunting a mysterious primordial that lurks in the dark.

Jay Krauss

S87/100
On the brink of death, a burned-out man in his late thirties is offered one last chance at life through experimental early access to a full-dive VRMMO — with one condition: he cannot log out. Sent into the world years before launch, he becomes something no developer planned: a seemingly permanent inhabitant living inside the game long before players arrive. While future adventurers dream of fame and leaderboards, he chooses a quieter path — claiming land in the mountains, learning blacksmithing, mining deep veins of ore, and slowly building a life with his hands. For a long while, the world is his alone. Then players begin to appear. To the first of them, he looks like a strange NPC with skills that shouldn't exist yet. He doesn't correct them. He would very much like to be left alone. Unfortunately, the world has other plans.

Hawkin's Magic Beers

James Ghoul

A84/100
Hawkin rejected adventure to pursue a slower pace of living. Isolated in the wilderness far from civilization, he fends for himself using the axe he earned on the Lumberjack quest path — the quest path he'd gladly disabled long ago. After ten rugged years alone in the northern forests, visitors begin to appear: first an ancient, overpowered monster who becomes more friend than foe, then a lost trio of monks who share a beer so good that Hawkin is moved to return to the dreaded system. Dellia, one of a thousand gods, seeks Hawkin's help to expand her influence among humans, promising to guide him to becoming one of the greatest brewers the world has ever known. Hawkin's only condition: he never leaves his woods. When goblins encroach on his territory, he forges an alliance with unlikely companions and sets forth on a journey to brew magic beer.
