Synopsis

The Jharro Grove Saga: Part Three

Justan’s time in Malaroo isn’t going well. A deadly shape-shifting assassin seeks his life and he is struggling to win over Jhonate’s father.

Fist is the only ogre ever to train at the Mage School. He is determined to make the most of this opportunity, but his plans are derailed and his burgeoning powers tested when he receives a visit from the tribe he had long thought dead.

An army closes in on the grove, a new race of monsters emerges from the swamps, and a great evil grows in the mountains. The survival of the known lands may depend on the strength of The Ogre Apprentice.

Master of the Five Magics

★ 3.81

Lyndon Hardy

Alodar was a mere journeyman thaumaturge, learning the least of the five arts of magic. As such, he had no right to aspire to the hand of the fair lady, Queen Vendora, not even when he saved her during the siege of her frontier castle. But aspire he did.

Contains additional chapters, glossary, and author's afterword.

Super Supportive

★ 4.77

Sleyca

This story is about: The daily life of a teenager named Alden. He's growing up, slowly growing his powers, and figuring out who he really wants to be in a universe with Systems, superheroes, and extraterrestrial wizards.

Readers can expect: character focused drama, slice of life, slow burn, darkness, comedy, occasional disaster, school life, and extensive world building on multiple worlds. I like a little danger with my alien beverage etiquette.

Super Supportive will be very, very long.

Everyone wants superpowers, including Alden Thorn.

He's got determination on his side and maybe a murderous alien desk clerk, too. But his dream of being a battlefield support hero depends on him being chosen by the extraterrestrial System that's been running things on Earth for decades.

And there's a bigger, more complicated universe waiting out there for those with magic. One that will challenge him and change him in ways he never could have expected.

Naruto: The Outsider’s Resolve [OC-SI, Gradual Progression]

★ 4.67

FictionOnlyReader

[A Naruto "OC-SI"Fan Fiction]

Make the best of what you have, they said... But what I am supposed to do when the best I have are red-eyed freaks, a child who's supposed to be the jailor of the most dangerous being in the world, a snake creep with serious boundary issues, and a whole world of super soldiers with licences to murder.

And you know the best part? None of them like me so much...

Oh shut it, old man! Take that Will of Fire and shove it up your—

Yeah, this second swing at life isn't panning out...

---------------------------------------------------------------

What to expect:

- Gradual strength progression. Meaningful growth. The MC is a normal guy dumped into the Narutoverse, starts out weak and has to work and struggle for everything he gains.

- "Slow" paced. My writing style is a zoomed-in look camera that follows the protagonist. It might seem slow, but I ensure something is always happening to progress the plot forward.

- Gritty and often bloody fights and actions scenes with a focus on taijutsu—you'll see individual combat, team fights, and large-scale battle.

- A different take on the Narutoverse. The world is full of superhuman mercenaries with liscenes-to-kill—that along with the protagonist's struggles paint the world in a much darker light.

- Additions and expansion to the "chakra" power system. I consider myself a conservative when it comes to adapting the power system—and aim to retain the original feel while highlighting the best parts.

- The Outsider's Resolve version of Narutoverse uses the [Naruto Manga] as the base—with additions from anime, books, and even Boruto (though very less likely).

New Life As A Max Level Archmage

★ 4.78

ArcaneCadence

Vivienne has poured so many hours into the massively popular VRMMO The Seven Cataclysms that she has more of a life inside the game than out. It's a fitting irony, then, when one day she wakes in the body of her maxed-out demon-mage 'Vivisari'—and finds that now, the game really is her life.

But the world of Seven Cataclysms isn't what she remembers. A hundred years have passed since the game's concluding events, and Vivisari is a hero of myth thought long dead. As she meets old faces and new in this familiar-yet-not world—casting spells of mass destruction and slowly reforming the scattered-to-the-wind remnants of her Guild—she starts to wonder if she was sent here with a purpose.

Rumors of a sequel had been circulating just before her unbelievable reincarnation. Did she, perhaps, need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm?

If so, it's a good thing she has firepower in spades.

Rise of the Weakest Summoner

★ 4.5

Saileri

One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which had been raided and set ablaze by bandits. Within the burning rubble, a young woman found a baby, the sole survivor of the attack, and decided to take it with her and raise it as her own. As she was leaving with the little child in her hands, two falling stars lit up the night sky, and she named the boy Asterios.

Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution.

Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?!

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday.

What to expect:
Fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner, lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development and what's the most important, a joyful harem of lovely Monster Girls! And perhaps, some occasional lewds ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Magic Murder Cube Marine (Book 1 Stubbed)

★ 4.71

Alex Karne (TheDeliciousMeats)

Author's note: Don't overthink it, just read it. It's funny.

Francis Francis Francis the 3rd was one hell of a Marine. He died doing what he loved, killing everyone around him.

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 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 worth of experience fighting in the Marine Corps, Francis must find a way home to his fellow grunts, or be listed as KIA forever.

What to expect: An overpowered Marine running around a medieval LitRPG world doing grunt things with great enthusiasm, making friends along the way.

Monogamy, Comedic Violence, Military Humor, Murderous Unicorns, Crunchy Numbers, Fun Characters, Unique Systems, Great Representation, Intelligent Himbos, Meme Gods, and Taco Rice.

Grunts love this book, and you will too!
