S. D. McKittrick

S89/100

But I won't let that stop me from growing stronger and proving to my father that despite only being able to craft that doesn't mean I'm worthless.Setting out for the Wilds, the untamed lands of the world, I promised myself that I would become a settler and flourish in the danger and fight for survival.

Not only that, but it seems I have a certain way of drawing the sapient denizens of the forest to me.All that's left is building my house, growing my gardens, and experimenting with every crafting profession I can.

The Hundred Reigns [Timeloop LitRPG]

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

S88/100
A hundred tries to get it right. No more, no less. For twenty years, Balzam Magnos terrorized the world as its third Overlord: conquering kingdoms, slaughtering heroes, and crushing rebels under his iron boot. 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? They want his head. His overpowered siblings? They want his throne. His empress stepmother? She 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. What to expect: - 100 loops, each wildly different — from crafting and dungeon crawling to intrigue and empire-building. - 5 chapters a week from Monday to Friday. - Hard-won power growth. - Epic battles, wicked plans, and world-shattering family feuds. - Dragons, demon magic, and punching arrogant princes in the face.

Jay Krauss

S86/100
He didn’t log in to be a Hero, or go on a grand adventure. He logged in to survive.On the brink of death, a burned-out late-thirty-something is offered one last chance at life through experimental early access to a full-dive VRMMO. The price is he can’t log out. When the system sends him 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. He claims land in the mountains, learns the patient craft of blacksmithing, mines deep veins of ore, and finally builds a life with his hands instead of slowly dying behind a desk.For a long while, the world is his alone. He carves out the beginnings of a life for himself, begrudgingly makes a few friends, and finds a purpose.Then players begin to appear. To the first of their number, he’s just a strange NPC with skills that shouldn’t exist yet. He doesn’t correct them. He would very much like to just be left alone.Unfortunately, the world has other plans.“If you've ever wanted to be dropped feet-first into an role-playing game and live vicariously through its deadly quests and pursuits, then I encourage you to pick up Jay Krauss’s first book in a new LitRPG series, Founder’s Lighting the Forge. If you love the exploits of Dungeon Crawler Carl, then grab an axe and join the unflappable hero of this new series. It’s a story full of twists, sudden drops, unexpected companions, and all the fun built into the heart of your favorite games. Can’t wait for the second book to carry on with this journey!”- James Rollins, #1 New York Times Bestseller of The Starless Crown“Superb book. Hits all the right notes. Great crafting and a fantastic focus on dwarves and smithing. Classic touch with tons of progress. Rock on, dwarf bro.”- David North, Best Selling Author of Guardian of Aster Fall and Wild Era"If you want ‘feels’ with your numbers-go-up, appreciate a good dungeon delve, or have ever enjoyed a crafting profession, Founder’s Lighting the Forge is for you.

Vasily Mahanenko

S85/100
Barliona: a virtual world jam-packed with monsters, battles-and, predictably, players. Millions of them come to Barliona, looking forward to the things they can't get in real life: elves and magic, dragons and princesses, and unforgettable combat. The game has become so popular that players now choose to spend months online without returning home. In Barliona, anything goes: You can assault fellow players, level up, become a mythical hero, a wizard, or a legendary thief. The only rule that attempted to regulate the game demanded that no player be allowed to feel actual pain. But there's an exception to every rule. For a certain bunch of players, Barliona has become their personal hell. They are criminals sent to Barliona to serve their time. They aren't in it for the dragons' gold or the abundant loot. All they want is to survive the virtual inferno. They face the ultimate survival quest.

Periapt [Survival in the world of a Cursed CRPG, Progression, Crafting, LitRPG]

lost_rambler

A81/100
Return to Periapt had been an internet rumor, a creepypasta about a cursed computer game hidden on an old CD-ROM that could be found in the strangest of places. The game was about explorers on a wild continent of magic beasts, wagon trains, and deadly trails. They said it felt real, and that if you played long enough, it would actually be real. Hollis Hood knew it was no mere rumor. He knew why people called it cursed and about the oath that let you leave your world behind. He knew all this because when he was a kid, he played the game, and when it offered him an escape from his life, he said no. It was a choice that haunted him for fifteen years. After a long search, he found another copy. This time, he was prepared. He trained, planned, and shaped his life around the chance he once abandoned. He followed the cursed game's lead all the way to Periapt, prepared to protect the settlers as they headed into its wild interior. But he arrived at the starting town to find it abandoned and plagued by a fog that consumes all that are caught in its wake. What he didn't foresee was that the adventure did not wait for him. Sure, he arrived prepared, but he also arrived far too late. What to Expect: >Dark Fantasy LitRPG inspired by classic 90s CRPGs and dungeon crawlers >A power system where magic comes from plants, beasts, and ecosystems >Animal bonding with consequences. Animals and plants are companions, magical resources, and meals >Meaningful progression through creature bonds, body augmentation, and crafting >Grim frontier survival with 1800s-era tech and creeping horror >Structured arcs with real conclusions, not endless filler If you like slow-burn power growth, dangerous worlds that don’t forgive mistakes, and progression earned through hard choices, Periapt is waiting.
