Synopsis

Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected anything like this to happen to me, but here I am, in a fantasy world with new magical summoning powers.

I’m just trying to figure out where I am and maybe how to get back home when a group of goblins starts attacking me. And then things get really insane when I summon a bunch of squirrels to fight at my side.

The villagers hail me as their savior, but there are too many questions to answer. Before I can explore more of this world, I have to find someone capable of protecting these people.

Eon R. Solara

Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path.

Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell. Even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn is rewarded with attributes, points, and power simply for stubborn hard work.

Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God.

None of this should have mattered to him, living on the fringe of the empire—until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.

What to Expect:

• [Reincarnation, but the MC does not retain any memory of his past in the beginning.]

• [Slice of Life, Crafting, Spellcrafting, Training, Slow burn, Weak to Strong, and silly things]

• [LitRPG elements, Detailed Magic system, Greek/Roman Empire-esque settings]

• [Magic Academy, Eventually]

• [Beast Companion?]

• [No harem]

Book 1 on Kindle Unlimited and Audible! Get it here -> Kindle and Audible

Mira is determined to be a botanist—no matter how dangerous or violent it may become.

Mira made two requests upon entering the multiverse: a botany class to further her research and to be dropped off in an isolated forest far from the violent god-rearing system BS going on. She was granted both—but not in the way she expected. The system abandoned her in a hellishly dangerous forest—where she earned a rare class that excelled at killing things.

This Venerable Demon is Grossly Unqualified

★ 4.64

Turniper

Elder Hu Xin, the Crimson Saint of the Pathless Night Sect, is missing. Not physically, his body is still there, walking about the sect like he owns the place. But behind his eyes, a stranger is panicking, because his transmigration experience came with no instructions, or any of Elder Hu's centuries of memories. He doesn't know how to work his own cultivation, let alone nurture someone else's.

They say the best way to learn something is to teach it. Unfortunately, that's only true if the penalty for failing the test isn't death. Fellow elders, disciples, dogs of the orthodoxy, everyone has expectations about who Hu Xin is. And Hu Xin doesn't have any idea of what those expectations are, let alone how to satisfy them. And so, shielded by audacity and armed with bullshit, this newly venerable and grossly unqualified demon is making this shit up as he goes.

This story is a multi-perspective Xiania story written by a westerner, with somewhat flatter/more abstract power scaling than a lot of the genre. Expect more intrigue and less violence, cultivation realms being less of absolute barriers than in many Xianxia, and fighting to be less about bigger numbers and more about people leveraging the unique advantages specific to their cultivation.

Currently updates once a week on Sunday evenings.

The System Seas [LitRPG, Pirate]

★ 4.65

R.C. Joshua

Marco trained his whole life for one thing: to become a captain.

He maxed every childhood achievement the System would let him, from diving to rigging to outrunning couriers up mountains. But when classing day finally comes, the system doesn’t just make him a captain. It makes him a Gluttonous Marauder.

On the plus side, it’s a unique class with combat perks, shipwright skills, and captain material. On the negative side, it comes with a reputation so bad he’s arrested on the spot.

Now on the run in a barely seaworthy smuggler’s dinghy, Marco sets out to prove he’s not the villain they think he is. Unfortunately, he first needs to out-sail bounty hunters, survive cursed dungeons, and feed enough victories to his ever-growing ship to outrun every danger thrown his way.

Jayke Cipher

★ 4.54

StaffMage

Jayke Cipher was, to his limited knowledge, one of the last people alive.

The apocalypse was not one that came slowly. When it struck Earth, it came swiftly. The monstrosities that roamed the outside world became an unavoidable hobby of Jayke's. Working from within a heavily defended compound, surveillance cameras and a plethora of subject material only cultivated an interest in strange creatures.

Survival became lonely. Sanity was kept by indulging offhand desires, fulfilling flights of fancy when reasonable.

When the compound is breached and all other options exhausted his only option becomes the pod. A mysterious capsule intended for virtual reality. Its producer, in light of the apocalypse, had released early. Months back he had ignored the last news broadcast regarding the pod and its promises.

He knew it only as suicide. But better that than being eaten alive.

Wishlist Wizard: The Rise of the Zero Hero [Isekai LitRPG / Now releasing 3x weekly!]

★ 4.7

Wayne appeared in the summoning chambers for Chosen Heroes.

While getting Isekaied was good news, Wayne was 50 years off of the usual cycle for heroes. His body did not become superhuman, and his system access was glitched. He could open menus, but his only clickable option was to view his unimpressive stats. His other option was called Christmas List. None of the scholars in the world found any record of this ability appearing before, and it was greyed out.

Four years into living his second quiet life, he happens upon a strange artifact from Earth: A single page from the 1990 Electronics Boutique Christmas Catalog. His once inactive ability gives him the power to add skills and abilities to his system by ripping them from the games listed in the catalog.

With a second lease on his second life, Wayne sets out with his best friend and fellow Royal Scholar Fergus to collect more catalog pages. Along the way, they figure out how to combine abilities from wildly different systems–like upgrades from a railroad management simulator complementing a magic sword ability from a classic action RPG–while he does everything he can to not repeat the mistakes of his past life. Thankfully, Fergus loves living to the fullest and is always ready to remind Wayne that life is short, so enjoy that wine.

This lighthearted LitRPG progression fantasy story mashes a wide array of game genres into a single system, forcing Wayne to navigate a strange chimera of skills and buffs and upgrades. Can his build give him the strength to adventure like the Chosen Heroes, or will this be yet another isekai disappointment?

What to expect from this series:

-Power progression from unusual sources

-Very light number crunching with a greater emphasis on ability synergies

-Playful spins on game and isekai tropes

-No retro game knowledge required

-No harem content
