Synopsis

What to Expect: A slow-life xianxia with crafting, character-heavy writing, and exploring the world and people of Xianxia in a way the genre usually skips over.

Booker has woken up in the wrong body; a body ruined by drug-use, trapped in a dead-end life as the lowest possible form of apprentice in a massive sect.

But all this doesn’t faze Booker. He’s got a positive attitude, and when he looks into the mountains he sees a climb waiting for him. Better yet, he has the assistance of a magical book that will help him craft any pill in existence perfectly – a skill alchemists would fight and die for. With his skills in crafting, his patient soul, and his relentlessly upbeat attitude, Booker is climbing the first of many mountains.

Route to Power

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children. Simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world. A place with culture, economics, and politics—inhabited by people that have their own passions, goals, and prejudices.

What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself here—a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility, but not all of those possibilities are good.

Reborn as the Black Knight

★ 4.57

Razzmatazz

[I was reincarnated in a fantasy world as the manifestation of absolute void — the Black Knight, and my goal is to return the destitute, sickly, youngest-born princess, who is kind of a loser, to her throne because it beats doing nothing]

War rages across the continent as a foreign power sets foot on the soil of the nation beneath the glow of strange starlight. Emptiness fills the eyes of people everywhere as their faces become as hard as the loveless hearts hidden beneath them. Those who are not involved in the war-effort can only do their best to survive on the fringes for the time being.

One of these people is the exiled, youngest princess of the nation, the ill Acacia Odofredus Krone, who lives forgotten in destitute squalor as an abject failure, being not even capable enough to become a low-ranking adventurer. An equally lost soul, reborn from another world, suddenly finds himself reincarnated at her side as the powerful manifestation of a creature of old prophecy; der Schwarze Ritter — the Black Knight.

Together, faced with the pressures of the horrific conflict, dire poverty, Acacia’s fatal sickness, and the looming threat of her noble bloodline that hasn't been forgotten by the world hanging heavy over them, the two of them are forced onto a journey to find a way to live together, fighting their way out from the lowest shadows of forgottenhood in order to reach the pinnacle of either of their dreams — a life that feels like anything more than total emptiness.

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.

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.

The Phoenix [Cultivation, Reincarnation, Tower Climber]

★ 4.58

The Phoenix

She entered the Tower seeking death. Instead, she keeps finding reasons to live.

In this life, she's Bella, a jaded med student trying to catch up on centuries of medical innovation. Or at least, she was before the Tower appeared. With the promise that she would find whatever she sought if she reached the top, she entered, hoping to find a way to end her curse.

However, even with hundreds of lives of experience to fall back on, reaching the top is no easy task. The Tower is filled with wonders she could only dream of, and what she once believed was the peak of power was only the first rung of a much larger climb. Her foundations are unshakable, but the Tower is deeper, deadlier, and more exhilarating than anything she’s ever faced.

And when she finally reaches the top? She’ll decide whether to end it all… or maybe not.

Inspired by:

- Tower of God
- Hunter X Hunter
- Hell Difficulty Tutorial
- Various Murim and Xianxia stories

What to expect

- Strong to Stronger
- Magic system is Hunter X Hunter + cultivation
- A Tower of massive scale with many different places and races
- No romance
- Long-term character development
- A cat (?)

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!

Overleveled: Arrival in a New World

★ 4.55

JL Vincent

When an aimless guy dies making a noble sacrifice, he is presented with a chance to live life better in a new world. However, due to some godly negligence and terrible luck, his arrival does not go as planned. Having acquired overwhelming power, he has to confront a familiar question. How should I live my life?

This story is heavily influenced by Japanese light novels in regards to fast progression, overpowered protagonist, and hidden protagonist tropes.

As a heads up, this story is intended to be, above all else, fun. It does not take itself too seriously. My goal is to share my love of the genre tropes to make you smile and laugh.

The update schedule is "when I can, but it's still active."

Since this has become something of a minor issue, if you see this story anywhere other than royal road or scribblehub, I didn't post it. Please consider going to my patreon and supporting my work directly!
