The Primal Hunter

Zogarth

S+97/100
On just another normal Monday, the world changed. The universe reached a threshold humanity didn't even know existed, and it was time to finally be integrated into the vast multiverse — a place where power is the only thing anyone can truly rely on. Jake, a seemingly average office worker, finds himself thrust into a tutorial filled with dangers and opportunities. In a world that should breed fear and concern, an environment that makes his fellow coworkers falter, Jake instead finds himself thriving. Perhaps Jake was born for this kind of world.

Body Refinement in a Beast Tamer's World

Seth Ring

S+93/100
Magnus always dreamed of being a rockstar — until he fell from his balcony on his birthday. He wakes up in Borella, a world where mages and their mysterious pets rule everything, and finds he has become the Tower Master of the Crimson Flame Mage Tower. The previous occupant shattered his own soul trying to bind a powerful, elusive creature, and Magnus now faces expulsion from the tower in less than a month — which would be a bigger problem if he could actually do magic. The force that sent him here didn't leave him empty-handed: it granted him The Genius Body Refinement System, with the potential to make him the strongest body refinement cultivator in the world. The catch is that to advance, he must build a reputation as a powerful mage first.

Seneca Farm

Wolfe Locke

S+93/100
The Silver Hands were one of the best mercenary companies in the kingdom — now only one member remains. Kain Asheld buried the three people closest to him and bought a farm with his last bounty, desperate for silence and a fresh start. The place locals call Madder's Place is a disaster of rotting floorboards, collapsed roofs, and fields swallowed by the wild. But the village needs Kain as much as he needs the solitude, and help comes from unexpected quarters — a young collector, a sharp-tongued tavern owner, and a community that pays on the honor system. As Kain rebuilds, he discovers that starting over takes its own kind of strength.

The Butcher of Gadobhra

The Walrus King

S+91/100
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.

Reborn as a Demonic Tree

XKarnation

S+90/100
Ashlock woke in the courtyard of a demonic sect — as a tree. A tree that eats people. And one that grows stronger over time through a daily sign-in system and cultivation. A strange new life, but perhaps not the worst one in a world where humans chase immortality through the art of cultivation. Every day he grows stronger, gaining powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items in exchange for credits earned from eating flesh and watching the seasons pass. But his peaceful, man-eating existence can only go unnoticed for so long. His Qi-rich bark makes him a target, tensions in the demonic sect are rising, and a Beast Tide looms on the horizon. Ashlock's only option is to grow faster and stronger than any tree in the history of the nine realms.

Samson Chui

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.

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.

Blue Core

InadvisablyCompelled

S89/100
Not every dungeon is a place of monsters, traps, and death. Not every dungeon core wants adventurers or slaves. Blue wants something different: to stay well away from enemies, avoid the brutality of the mage-kings' Red Cores, and build something better. Fortunately, there are alternatives—and Blue intends to explore all of them.

Jackal Among Snakes

Nemorosus

S88/100
The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man's awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. Most come away thinking he knows too many details about too much. Behind that confident appearance, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG's wiki is battling existential dread as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world mirroring his favorite game. The prospect of fighting a world-ending calamity loses all appeal when it transitions from entertainment to reality — and Argrave is spurred toward unwanted heroism to keep this sinking ship afloat.
