Synopsis

Tired of the old afterlife? Bored of eternal torment, fire, and brimstone? Well, you’re not alone—apparently, the gods are, too. To shake things up, they’ve scrapped the standard “endless agony for all” and replaced it with something… different. Welcome to Eternia: a brutal, glitch-riddled wilderness where new souls are dumped with little hope of survival. Make it here, or end up back in the classic hell as a consolation prize.

Enter Ellie, who dies just in time to beta-test the gods’ twisted new system. Freshly arrived and utterly unprepared, she’s tossed into a world where everything seems out to kill her—or just glitch out before she can figure out what it’s supposed to do. Ellie quickly realizes that her “next life” is more of a do-or-die nightmare than any kind of second chance. Or at least it would be, if she weren’t a closeted fan of the genre she’s been thrown into.

Armed with nothing but her wits and a reluctant sense of humour, Ellie must navigate the hostile landscape, outwit overly aggressive wildlife, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to find some purpose in this cosmic mess. But in a world designed for divine entertainment—and where the rules are still being written—anything could and probably will happen.

Will she conquer the wilds of Eternia, or will she learn that the only thing worse than hell is the constant struggle to escape it? Join Ellie as she stumbles, fights, and glitches her way through eternity’s most chaotic afterlife.

What to expect:

Non-Human Protagonist

Weak to Strong MC with very fast progression early on

Magic system exploration (What even is Mana?)

Crafting Focused Main Character

Sociopathic Main Character who still craves connections with people.

No insanely long fight scenes that drag out to the point of boredom

Inspired by works like Primal Hunter, Azarinth Healer, and A Budding Scientist In A Fantasy World

Little Lynx

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.

Superheroes and Magic Invasions [apocalypse litRPG]

★ 4.6

Belial666

[completed the October 2022 and April 2023 Writathon ]

In the town of Destiny, Florida (not to be confused with Destin, also in Florida), magic portals open and spew out undead horrors. A few lucky survivors discover that killing the invaders grants magic powers seemingly following popular game or comic book tropes. For Maya Wennefer that's only the beginning of her problems.

Invaders from another world, normal people realizing there are easier paths to power, the government's reaction to the new reality; surviving all that is hard, let alone becoming a superhero. As chaos spreads and stronger monsters appear, human greed may yet prove to be more dangerous than any invader.

What to expect:
Man-eating monsters, unsupervised young adults, mistakes being made, exploration of superpowers, violence, superheroics, cheaty power combos, arrogance, struggle.

Cat Girl Evolution [BOOK 1 COMPLETE]

★ 4.74

Bedivere the Mad

She’s a Cat. She’s a Girl. And she’s going to evolve.

Yona wasn’t always a cat, but she is now, and she’s living her best cat life. No silly “Quests” or “Systems” are going to get in her way!

…Until they do. Unfortunately, time waits for no man, and it certainly waits for no cat, and Yona finds that out the hard way. Now, stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight for her life to survive and return to the mainland!

…Or just pig out and nap and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. But there’s one thing she’s not going to do: swim. And that makes escaping the island a bit more of a challenge than it needs to be.

Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up… something. As gods tend to do.

What to expect:

- The MC is a cat, both in body and mind

- Gluttony powers done right

- The only romance is Yona X Fish (can’t get enough fish)

- A System that is sassy only in self defense

- Numbers go up (a lot)

- Somewhat unhinged MC

I tagged it with graphic violence and sensitive content, but it shouldn't get too bad. Just wanted to be safe

Hell Hound Evolution [LITRPG]

★ 4.77

Winter Knights

What to expect

-Early slice of life chapters with puppy family.

-Villain arc?

-EVOLUTION!

-Her skillset will revolve around her nature as a predator and have a lot to do with hunting prey.

BLURB

She’s a puppy. She’s a girl. And she’s going to evolve.

Waking up one day in a litter of puppies, her human life a fading memory, she quickly falls into the flow of things.

Playing and hunting with her pack, taking naps at all hours of the day, and most importantly, leveling up and evolving!

With five brothers and sisters who all have their own unique powers, a protective Dog Mom and Cerberus Dad with three heads, she was sure nothing could ever go wrong in her new life.

That is, until human hunters show up and attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters.

Now she’s by herself in a world that is so much harsher to face alone. But she won’t give up. She’ll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge on those damned humans and get her family back!

Beware the Trickster (An Occult Progression LitRPG)

★ 4.77

Mangowo

Life was perfect: naps in sunbeams, stolen snacks and expertly timed "accidents" to torment her favorite human.

So, when licking a strangely alluring gemstone on an old mask suddenly flooded her fuzzy head with memories of her former human existence... well, like any sensible fox would, Clover simply filed it under "list-of-things-to-not-give-a-damn-about" and went back to important business. Like napping.

Fate, however, had other plans.

When the velvet curtain of her pampered ignorance was violently ripped aside, revealing a world steeped in ancient horrors, eldritch hungers, and flesh-warping occult progression... she reacted with remarkable calm. A raised eyebrow (metaphorically), perhaps. Because the real horror was anything threatening her nap-snack-torment equilibrium.

Now, this newly enlightened vulpine has a simple goal: Get Stronger. Not for glory. But purely so she can achieve peace through overwhelming power.

What to expect:

- A tier-based progression system (Body horror optional, but aesthetically likely)

- A terrifying world… seen through the unblinking, mildly annoyed gaze of a fluffy creature primarily concerned with treat distribution.

- OP protagonist → even more OP protagonist.

- Misunderstandings. So many misunderstandings.

- A totally honest, glorious, and helpful trait. Can be trusted with eyes closed.

FINAL CORE : [A holy dungeon-core litRPG]

★ 4.54

Razzmatazz

STUBBED - THIS STORY IS COMPLETE AND HAS MOVED TO AMAZON + AUDIBLE!

[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]

The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.

Valkyrie’s Shadow

★ 4.7

Aeridinae Lunaris

In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come.

A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will.

There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew.

[Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

How I learned to stop worrying and solve my problems with demons until demons stopped solving my problems.

A snarky villain and her heroic nemesis blow themselves up and land on a fantasy world. They find themselves faced with two prospects: learn to cooperate and respect someone they've fought against for years, or be swept away by the powers that be.
