The Perfect Run

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

S+97/100
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.

Villains' Code

Drew Hayes

S+95/100
Gifted with metahuman powers in a world full of capes and villains, Tori Rivas kept away from the limelight, preferring to work as a thief in the shadows. When she is captured trying to rob a vault belonging to a secret guild of villains, she is offered a hard choice: prove she has what it takes to join them, or be eliminated. Apprenticied to one of the world's most powerful and supposedly dead villains, Tori is thrust into a world where the lines dividing superheroes and criminals are far more complex than they seem. On top of the peril from her own teacher, there are capes, fellow apprentices, and a civilian cover to maintain. Most dangerous of all are those who loathe the guild's very existence — old grudges run deep, and some are willing to go to any length to see the guild turned to ash, along with each one of its members.

A Journey of Black and Red

Mecanimus

S+95/100
A conversation with a handsome stranger leaves Ariane chained in a cellar with a strange affliction. She soon discovers that the darkness of the nineteenth-century Deep South hides many dangers: mages, wolf shifters, and the humans who hunt them all play a risky game — all under the amused gaze of the apex predators of the supernatural world, vampires. It takes much to survive in this merciless world, but Ariane will not be deterred. The southern belle has a bite, and she is willing to learn and grow in this hostile new world, using guile, charm, and those intriguing new instincts that make blood so delectable.

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny.

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.

Jez Cajiao

Steve is ex-military, ex-enforcer, and ex-human — a one-man nanite-fuelled nightmare who stole a hundred thousand from some very bad people and is trying to lie low on a Greek island. When he saves a pair of drowning girls and goes viral, lying low becomes impossible. He tells himself he is cleaning up his act, making up for the things he has done. But even he admits it is mostly a justification: he is a very bad man with horrifying abilities, and hunting the creatures of the night suits him just fine.

S+92/100
Could you survive a horror movie? That's the question Riley must answer after he and his friends are lured to Carousel, a malevolent town where horror movies come to life. Assigned the Film Buff archetype — a minor support class with a penchant for dying early — Riley seems doomed from the start. But upon obtaining the Oblivious Bystander trope, he discovers that monsters and killers won't harm him as long as he can convincingly pretend he hasn't noticed them. What looks like a joke ability might, with clever exploitation, become his greatest strength.

Mikasane

S+91/100
When eldritch horrors called the Anathema began tearing through reality, aliens known as the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity by gifting chosen individuals with magic and advanced technology. Over twenty-one years later, the Magical Guardians are still hard at work — flashy, superhuman, and treated as idols of modern society. None of that matters much to Mai, whose biggest concerns are her family, classmates, and the creeping dread of her future. Magic and monsters may as well be daydreams — until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion. A dark magical-girl story with sci-fi elements and gradually introduced LitRPG mechanics.

Paranoid Mage

InadvisablyCompelled

S+91/100
Callum had seen things all his life — monsters and beasts living among people — but he learned very early not to admit such things. It turns out the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn't cast any spells in all his life. The powers that be insist on requirements, duties, and education. To hell with that. An urban fantasy that goes rather sideways from the normal genre fairly quickly, following Callum as he goes from fugitive to renegade to open conflict with the forces that govern the supernatural world.

She has to learn to live in the shadows, work outside the corporate system, and deal with the sundry characters — honorable and nefarious — inhabiting that world.
