Synopsis

Given his first weapon when he was still a child, Edward Lee lived a life full of violence in a nation torn by war.

Tormented by the demons of his past, he believed Death would free him.

But through the games of beings beyond his understanding, his death turned out to be the starting point of a new life in a strange world of magic and monsters, as a young teenager.

Beyond simply finding a way to survive the dangers of his new life, Edward will soon realize that there is still a price to pay for his past actions.

Avo was born to destroy New Vultun. In a twist of fate, he’ll become its only hope for salvation.

The gods were the enemy. The slaver. The chains. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to become more – to ascend.

Instead, they nearly destroyed the world.

Vast hive cities serve as the final bastions against the crumbling of reality. New Vultun is the greatest of them all, and within its borders, ascenders wage war to determine the laws of existence itself.

The world descends ever deeper into ruination.

Avo was born a weapon, a slave to his instincts and his masters. He and his brothers were made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when Avo gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy.

He must ascend the megacity of New Vultun. He must challenge the very tyrants that usurped the gods.

He must finally free the world from chains.

SIGILJACK

Progression Sci-Fantasy Cyberpunk LitRPG | Street-Samurai Combat x Dungeon Crawling | Mana + Metal + Trauma

Magic broke the world. Corporate greed broke him.

John Ranson is a washed-up combat engineer with a glitching arm, dwindling hope, and a family to protect in a threadcursed future.

Then came the package. Inside: Athena, a forbidden AGI who downloads herself into his broken mana and neural circuits—wearing the face of a dead friend.

Now he sees the code of reality: mana, monsters, memory, and threadways.

But power comes at a cost:

Corps want what's in his head. Threadbeasts want his blood. And something worse is already watching.

Good thing he's not alone, he's got:

» A forge-running oni who bleeds clan loyalty.
» An orichalcum katana once held by a fallen lover.
» Dog tags that still whisper blame.
» And a voice in his head who might believe in him more than he does.

When ghosts are real, the undercity eats intruders, and a dragon is president, there's only one way forward: dungeon-deep into a world that already gave up on him.

Forge your path. Burn your past.

If the corps or monsters don't kill you, the magic will.

Welcome to New Cascadia.

Wildcards: The Dread Captain

★ 4.65

Brian J. Nordon

At the District One Invitational, a rookie eSports team defied all odds and reached the finals. Their underdog story and humble beginnings elevated them to worldwide acclaim. Media corporations dubbed them, The Paragons. With their main competition eliminated from the tournament during the semifinals, the rookie team sailed through the live finals and won by a landslide. Their prize was to become the first ever players in the most exclusive VR game yet, Abidden.

The Paragons never celebrated that semi-final victory. They lost a friend in that match, who never appeared online again. Ten years later, the gaming landscape has changed and Abidden with it. Helena is the last remaining Paragon. Her team now consists of celebrities, influencers and musicians. Abidden has been reduced to a shadow of its former glory, but is the most streamed and viewed game in the world, despite having only a handful of players.

None of this matters to James Sylvester. Finally out of hospital, things aren't good for James. He's found himself crippled with medical debt, his gaming licence has been revoked and he's permanently lost his place in society. He now spends his days competing in illegal slum arcades to manage the repayments. When a high-profile job comes along, James gets temporary backdoor access to his blacklisted gaming account. After reactivating it for the first time in ten years, James receives an invitation that could change his life forever.

Sam went for a walk, with the goal of acquiring delicious baked goods. His journey landed him in the past of another world, with a set of memories that didn’t really belong to him. Making use of those memories, and his gaming knowledge, he joined the newest VRMMO, Magic Unbound, ready to enjoy his time in a game that was simply a pipedream in his original world.

Join us, as we read about Sam’s journey through the game and life as he transforms from a lone gamer into one surrounded by friends. Read as he deals with annoying villains, scheming edgelord gamers, and secretive assassins!

I will endeavor to stay true to the MMO genre while taking a few liberties to make it more interesting. However, this is closer to Slice of Life than anything. There will be drama, action, horror, humor, and everything in between, but I would call this entire thing a guilty pleasure reading (and writing).

I got bored with all those VRMMO novels that start out as VRMMO novels, then escalate into martial cage fights, alien invasions, dream dimensions, or whatever. I also don’t like how in several novels they take real-life skills into the game and the game is like: ‘Aight, you do you, bro!’.

This novel will keep the real world and the game world separate. Also, to me, it seems that many VRMMO writers have never played any MMO or other video games, or heard about things like patches, pacing, and vertical or horizontal gameplay.

Low-Fantasy Occultist Isekai

★ 4.56

Persimmon

Nicholas Crowley is used to scraping by in a world where magic is dying. The modern age has left the arcane behind, and the few remaining practitioners fight over scraps like starving dogs.

That, however, is no longer his problem. While performing a ritual, something interferes, and his soul is ripped from his body.

He awakens during the Class ceremony as Nick, a kid living on the frontier of the Green Ocean, a seemingly infinite expanse of trees brimming with rare ingredients and powerful creatures. Mana is abundant here, and the omnipresent System allows for feats he had once thought impossible.

And yet, not everything is as rosy as it seems. Legends walk the land, and Gods require their due. Will his experience as an Occultist be enough to navigate this wild new world?

Hyperion Evergrowing: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

★ 4.68

Nilsimus

Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle.

The squad he commanded have either fallen or abandoned the fight, and as dawn breaks, all that that remains are the distant cries of the few who yet who cling to life.

But for some, this is not the end, for opportunistic creatures stalk the aftermath of bloody conflict, claiming the dead and dying for their own malevolent purposes. One such being, an entity of twisted and blighted wood, finds Leif in his final moments and implants his dying body with the parasitic seed of a carnivorous, bloodthirsty plant.

Identity shattered, awareness fragmented, levels, classes and skills lost, Leif is reborn as a sapling in the newly formed wilderness that has sprung up in the years following the war.

But time heals all wounds, and when the primal need to reclaim his lost humanity uproots him, Leif embarks on an era spanning journey that will change both him, and the world forever.

For there is one constant in his new life:

Growth.

===

Hello there, Author here. Here's what you need to know to see if Hyperion Evergrowing is for you!

This book is a monster evolution story, and that will never change, but the initial goals of our protagonist revolve around him trying to reconnect with his humanity. Things change over time, but a lot of the first book explores what its like to be forcibly altered against your will, and the consequences of that change on a very personal, and somewhat depressing way. This obviously isn't for everyone, and there's a lot of fair criticism directed at the story, but I think the narrative goes in interesting and unique places because of it.

Hyperion is less power fantasy / wish self-fulfilment than some other series, but that doesn't mean Leif is weak in anyway. It turns out there are several advantages to the protagonist's situation, and while they don't instantly turn him into a god of war capable of defeating anything with his eyes closed, Leif does grow into a force to be reckoned with.

The story has a heaping of animal companions, some light kingdom building, heavy world building, and lots of character development for both the MC and a host of side characters.

Oh, there's also a subplot about the origin of the system itself.

Hope you enjoy!

Penitent

★ 4.68

Seersucker

Michael didn't want to die. He didn't deserve to die. After a lost battle with cancer that started only a year after he retired, he'd lived what many people would call a full life, but it wasn't enough. He wanted more time. Time with his wife. Time with his kids. Time with his grandkids. When he found himself drawn toward the light, he fought his way away from it. Unfortunately, that didn't take him back to the life he wanted to live.

Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to be a Penitent, a soldier in the country he was reborn into in order to pay a debt to society he owes for taking the life of the child whose body he inhabits. It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

An Isekai with light litrpg elements

MC will gain powers similar to those of a paladin

Book 1 spends a lot of time in a military academy. MC does not stay a child for very long.

Story will be a slower pace than my others.

MC may not be to everyone's taste. He feels guilt for his actions that may seem unreasonable and is very human. He will grow, but it will take time.
