Synopsis

When Muchen wakes up as an orphan living a hardscrabble life in a world of magical kung fu, he immediately starts working towards the obvious goal: to get rich! Money can make ghosts work hard, let alone cultivators. He can worry about immortality once he’s secured a comfortable standard of living.

Unfortunately, on the Qianzhan Continent, it takes a clever mind to earn a fortune… but it takes strength to defend it.

RE: Deity – The Breath of Creation – [Stubbed]

★ 4.75

Infamous Goose

Book 1 Available on Amazon!

Book 1 Stubbed November 19th
Synopsis:
Sometimes the multiverse needs expanding. That's where I come in. Unfortunately being a deity isn't all fun and games, as there are always things working against you. Not even the Overgod of the Multiverse can change that.

Longer Summary:
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, and were given a grace period in which they could expand their domains in relative safety. Once that period is up, however, the created universes will be able to interact with each other and other universes...as well as be at the mercy of the Void. I am one of those souls, and it's not easy. Between trying to raise up gods to defend my realm with, guiding mortals, accidentally making a xianxia world, and dealing with my own children, I have my work cut out for me. Now I know why back on Earth gods worked in mysterious, invisible ways. There's just too much to be done.

What to expect: Worldbuilding in the most literal sense, lots of POV's, Xianxia elements, and more. The LitRPG elements are very light, be warned if you're coming in for that.

This is a rewrite of an old story. It's been about six years since I dropped the previous, and having grown as an author and person, I decided to revisit the concept. The old one will be left up, for anyone who wants to revisit it or look at it from a legacy standpoint.

Updates will be twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.

Cultivation System: Elder Edition

★ 4.59

beddedOtaku

[Action + System + Comedy + MC teaches protagonist disciples + Isekai + Cultivation]

While I wondered why the fender of a nice Cooper was growing bigger, fate spun elsewhere, and I woke up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation!

And, of course, there's a system: one that allows me to create any martial art that I can imagine... provided I have enough Creation Points.

And my first disciple just so happens to be a reincarnated monster from 10,000 years ago with an incurable poison that I can cure with my custom creation?

Hey, this can be fun--nope, it's terrifying! The reputation of the guy I took over is just... it's the worst! Not only do I have to raise disciples to earn Creation Points to raise more disciples, I also have to rehabilitate the image that not even the best PR team on Earth could rehabilitate!

These really are some crappy starting circumstances...

THEOS

★ 4.58

Arthur Wordsmith

BOOK 1 and 2 STUBBED

You can read it here or listen to it here.

Luke died, and he didn't like it.

Cannibal gods and evil monologuing not-angels would do that to anyone. So, when a chance presented itself to stave off death for good and gain powers he could only have dreamed of, he took it and didn't look back.

Nothing comes free, however, and wielding an artifact that's desired by forces far beyond his imagination, he must use wits, luck, and maybe some pluck to survive a manhunt orchestrated by the rulers of his new world– a pantheon of deities drawn straight from myth—the Olympians.

All he needs to do is make sure the person who witnessed his resurrection doesn't spill the beans, figure out how this cultivation business works, and... do some quests?

It could be worse.

What to expect:

A LitRPG with mythological gods walking about and making stuff hard for Luke in a cultivation-esque setting.

An easy to understand system with a reasonable number of blue screens.

Characters that aren't all remorseless killers, and at times are even friendly.

Updates will be a chapter a day, Tuesday through Saturday.

(Book 3 Complete) Cultivation is Creation [World-Hopping & Plant-Based Xianxia]

★ 4.48

Kynan

Ke Yin has a problem. Well, several problems.

First, he's actually Kane from Earth.

Second, he's stuck in a cultivation world where people don't just split mountains with a sword strike, they build entire universes inside their souls (and no, it's not a meditation metaphor).

Third, he's got a system with a snarky spiritual assistant that lets him possess the recently deceased across dimensions.

And finally, the elders at the Azure Peak Sect are asking why his soul realm contains both demonic cultivation and holy arts? Must be a natural talent.

Expectations:

- MC's main cultivation method will be plant based and related to World Trees (chapter 24)

- Weak to Strong MC

- MC will eventually create his own lifeforms within his soul as well as beings that can cultivate

- Main world is the first world (Azure Peak Sect)

- MC will revisit worlds (extensive world building of multiple realms)

- Light LitRPG aspects

- Time loop elements

- No harem

Sky Pride

★ 4.81

Warby Picus

What does it take to climb out of the trash and into the sky?

The very heavens had decreed his death. He should have died in the womb. Or in infancy. Or when his family was murdered. Or when the house burned around him. Or when he woke up in the dump suffering from innumerable diseases and missing fingers. Even the magic ring with a ghostly grandpa trapped inside of it was sabotaged. A reasonable person would roll over and die. Tian isn't that reasonable. And as it happens, neither is Grandpa Jun. In a world where immortality can be cultivated, miracles are things you make for yourself. A broken boy will defy the heavens, and soar.

What to expect:

-1 chapter a day M-F. Volume 3 is already complete.

-2k words per chapter (aprox, some run long) with a longer first chapter.

-No Harem

-Earned power growth

-An MC who isn't a goodie two shoes OR an edge-lord psychopath

-A power system based on actual Daoism

-Sects, giant monsters, natural treasures, flying swords, spells, talismans, secret arts, and a gentle sprinkling of young masters whose face need rearranging.

Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia

★ 4.72

Ya Boy

The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on.

It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads?

That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

An Immortal’s Retirement: To Achieve Peace [Volume One Finished]

★ 4.55

Malaklein

Array King Dane has had enough of the cultivator's world. Fight, kill, grow stronger, and fight some more, that was their lifestyle. Cultivation was nothing more than the eternal rat race of immortals and everyone falls at one point or another. Eternity made any odds a guarantee given enough time, and Dane was quitting the game while he was still ahead.

And so he retires. No more fighting, no more killing, no more violence. He's chosen peace, but unfortunately, peace has to be protected.
