Mother of Learning

nobody103

S+99/100
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year at Cyoria's magical academy. Driven and irritable, he resents his family for favoring his brothers and has no patience for distractions or other people's problems. On the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit. To survive, Zorian must unravel the mystery before him — because the loop was not made for his sake, and dangers lurk everywhere. Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian must first make sure he survives to try again.

The Legend of William Oh

Macronomicon

S+97/100
William Oh was born on the hundredth floor of The Tower, steeped in its lethal miasma from his first breath — granting him strange and unnatural powers. Or so the stories go. The truth is more complicated, and the legend is still being written. An orphan whose biggest dream is serving his absent parents a knuckle-sandwich, William knows the only way to reach them is to climb The Tower, the center of the world through which all magic flows. A betrayal, a bit of generosity, and a knack for surviving impossible odds sow the seeds of something much larger — if the boy can outrun the legend he is becoming.

Azarinth Healer

Rhaegar

S+96/100
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities: a status system, classes, magic, and monsters. For Ilea, it didn't arrive quite as expected — there was no king or god to welcome her, and no grand quest to follow. A new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. Transported to a dark yet sometimes funny fantasy world, Ilea Spears — your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast-food worker — must survive in the wild and carve her own path through a world that wants to kill her.

Eric Dontigney

S+95/100

These old monsters will teach him everything — from the art of the jian and spear to arcane alchemy. Yet on the path to defying the heavens, Sen must decide what kind of person he wants to be, because when his training ends, he will have formidable enemies determined to put him back in his place.

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.
