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.

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?

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.

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.

What would a Xianxia MC do? Seriously, what would they do? Asking for a friend.

Things were going great for the demon Bael-Sharoth until a little girl summoned him to open a jar of tomato sauce. Now he's trapped in the human world along with his arch nemesis, the beautiful and capable Maharet Flameheart. Life isn't easy for a demon in a small town — but at least the parks are hellhound-friendly and the werewolf at the local bookshop seems nice enough. Bael and Maharet must find a loving human family to take in this powerful young witch before time runs out, or risk being stuck on Earth forever.

Notorious internet troll and critic Amy Stake has karma catch up to her when she criticizes the writing of a vengeful Goddess and gets reincarnated into a brutal shonen battle manga known for its astronomical body count. In an ironic twist, she'll only gain the powers that manga readers imagine she has, and her strength will be directly proportional to how much they love her. Meanwhile, people back in her own world are reading and commenting on the manga as it updates — so she must always stay in character. With death lurking at every step, Amy must claw her way into the main story by any means necessary: scene-stealing entrances, manufactured drama, a possibly fabricated tragic backstory. Whatever it takes to become a fan favorite before the end of the world arrives.

What is a 1000-year-old monster to do when she's failed her immortal ascension? Time travel — accidentally — and wind up back in her 9-year-old body, needing to re-cultivate. But after that? Get revenge. The idiot who killed her — also accidentally — was the main character of the Xianxia she transmigrated into. But since she can't harm a child or the main character without suffering consequences, she'll just have to raise him better, faster, stronger, and loyal instead. A Xianxia comedy and satire structured as a series of interconnected and chronological short stories featuring the same main characters.

For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, the rhetorical question of how you'd react to finding yourself in a world running on tropes and clichés became uncomfortably real. He woke up on a strangely pristine island country in the middle of the Atlantic — without memories, surrounded by countless characterless placeholders, with a classic harem protagonist and his love interests for friends. As he investigates the rules governing the world and works to sabotage the harem tropes, his outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and talent for causing trouble draw the attention of the world's nebulous narrative.

Destiny called — and Terry hung up. Introverted computer programmer Terry Williams' life is not exciting, and he is A-OK with that. So the last thing he expects on a hiking trail is for Truck-kun to vehicular-homicide him straight into another world. When he wakes up with a head full of new information and people calling him the hero, he promptly flees destiny — dodging noble plots, avoiding a vengeful church, and being stalked by a monster. Terry's read enough isekai to know the hero gig is reserved for the most masochistic of suckers. The only question is whether he can manipulate the tropes well enough to survive.

Francis Francis Francis the 3rd was one hell of a Marine. He died doing what he loved. After being vaporized in the line of duty, Francis is transported to a new world full of gods and magic. Too bad Hades is trying to kill him for declining a job offer and the System holds a grudge for what happened during character creation. At least his new patron deity seems nice. Armed with nothing but his lucky pink booty shorts, a pair of matching flip flops, and nineteen years of Marine Corps experience, Francis must find a way home to his fellow grunts — or be listed as KIA forever.

Six stick figure heroes brave the perils of a fantasy role-playing game in this webcomic satire that lampoons RPG conventions and the fantasy genre itself. Equal parts comedy and adventure, the Order of the Stick stumbles through dungeons, battles villains, and somehow saves the world — armed with metagame awareness, cryptograms, and an inexhaustible supply of bad decisions.

At 28, Aoi thought she had her life figured out — until her decade-long marriage ended with a handshake, a custody battle over a rice cooker, and her ex walking off with the cat. Now freshly single and armed with nothing but a janky webcam and a dream, Aoi reinvents herself as Ketsusaki, a demon-themed VTuber with a love for snacks, spite, and cursed karaoke streams. Between tech disasters, bizarre fan interactions, and collaborations with VTubers who actually know what they're doing, Aoi stumbles her way into internet fame — and maybe even healing — one chaotic livestream at a time.

In the distant past, there lived Harold — the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, he waged a cataclysmic war against the gods and then took a nap. An incredibly long nap. He wakes to a world he barely recognizes. No more swords and sorcery, but a universe buzzing with cultivation, celestial sects, and far too many pretentious dialogues about the path to godhood. Harold has one ambition: to slide back into his uninterrupted eternal slumber. But the cacophony of quarreling sects and smug martial artists seems determined to keep him awake. No aspiring deity, no grandiose sect, and certainly no self-righteous martial artist is going to rob him of his beauty sleep.

The tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship. Unfortunately, a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally — meaning it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait. Also in contention: the embryo of a hero facing the egg of a demon lord in a battle with serious mobility issues on both sides. And two new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them. An absurdist LitRPG comedy in which an unborn hero speedruns the plot so efficiently it may all be over before she gets around to being born.

Some seek power. Some seek justice. Others seek to root out the filth lurking in the darkest of corners. Spot was summoned from his comfortable charging pad and familiar floors to a world of magic and intrigue. After the flight of his new patrons, he is left to care for a filthy castle. During his quest to keep this new home clean, he will face demons, foreign armies, and the dreaded stairs. All those who stand before him will be swept away. Those who follow his spotless trail will find enlightenment, purity, and a world on its knees.

Gods are lazy. After a few hundred millennia they learned to delegate, and so the Heroes were born — useful pawns to handle the messy business of saving worlds. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole save-the-world routine, came home, and decided it wasn't enough. So he sold his services back to the Gods: Quasi Eludo, Hero for Hire. After countless subjective centuries on the job, an odd God arrives with a unique request — destroy a world, minimum payment several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason to refuse.

Truth Medici has to fight every step of the way out of the Harban slums. If he fails, his parents will sell him and his siblings to the brothels and gangsters. The Starbrite Corporation offers wealth and power to those who survive its brutal selection process—and the truly driven can even access the System Astrologica, which can turn an ordinary person into a Demigod. In a world where angels and demons are hired help, "Demigod" is achievable. But power like that has to be fought for, and fighting is the one thing Truth has always been able to do.

Alex Adams is the Iron Menace, a less-than-notable supervillain in Victory City — until a power he'd mostly written off misfires and accidentally kills a member of the League of Domination, the premier villain organization of the world. The League doesn't take kindly to nobodies offing their members, and the superheroes are paying attention too. With his past misdeeds catching up to him, no desire to swap sides for a cushy redemption arc, and unwilling to serve as anyone's flunky, Alex sees only one option: World Domination. A humorous but loving take on superhero-villain fantasy in a cape world inspired by the silver and bronze age of comics, with light progression elements and alternative-history world-building.
