Synopsis

Girl meets dungeon. What could go right?

A story of a good-hearted Scholar driven by her compassion and curiosity. She might be a little combat averse, but um, isn’t that only logical?

Love me a good grimdark, but sometimes I want to read feel-good fiction that isn’t pure action, romance, or comedy. The plot and characters of Dungeon Scholar won’t be all happy and fluffy, and the world will be more dungeons and monsters than rainbows and puppies, but overall the sweet moments should overshadow the bitter. Let’s say three dollops of sugar for every pinch of salt, with lemon slices left on the saucers? Enjoy.

Note: This is NOT a typical dungeon story. If you are here for the dungeon aspect, then fair warning this will seem incredibly slow-burn to you. The dungeon will eventually become the most important ‘character,’ arguably, or the second-most important narratively, but you might jump out the window in frustration long before that happens. At its heart, the story’s core remains ‘girl meets dungeon,’ not ‘dungeon meets world.’

(To be clear, this does or will have a plot! It’s just the more conventional story-like elements contribute to Rowena Loress’s greater story, not the other way around; no conflict takes center stage until it becomes personally significant to her.

Meanwhile, have some Slice of Life.)

Archmage from Another World: Gaining Administrator Access [LitRPG Isekai]

★ 4.58

Etheric

Transported into a world where just about anybody can receive the prestigious title of Mage, Morgana is equally baffled and outraged. She spent the better part of twenty-two years holed up in alcoves, poring over spell formulae and memorizing the forty-three Primary Astolian Paradigms, all for the opportunity to study at the Ivory Institute and gain access to those primordial, inscrutable powers. And here, they're dropped into people's laps? Ridiculous.

Morgana doesn't know how she's arrived here, why everyone is so bone-headedly ignorant to the fundamentals of magic, and especially what this strange 'System' is, coddling even 'archmages' with the simplest of spell constructions, but she's going to find out.

In the meantime, there's plenty of fascinating things to study. Dungeons, artifacts, classes, skills, and spells—all obviously created by some Grand Architect using a language that, apparently, only Morgana is familiar with. Beyond gaining insights into the arcane, which she's devoted her life to decoding, there might be something incredible to glean inside all these expertly hidden mechanisms.

Something bigger than she could imagine.

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.

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.]

A Tyrant, Sort Of [LitRPG, Isekai, Dragon MC]

farawaymuse

Sable didn’t know what she had expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard hadn’t been it.

And sure, she’s been thrust into a magic-crammed fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, but things aren’t all great, here. There’s hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal legion of undead to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms who want the first dragon in centuries to be offed sooner than yesterday—except they’re too busy warring with each other to spare the resources.

Good for her?

And what’s up with the [Levels], [Classes], and [Skills] stuff? Specifically, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats. She gets stronger the more gold she has? The more people are terrified of her? No wonder the human kingdoms want her head on a spike, with motivations like those. Dragons in the past must have been seriously unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less … evil … ways to progress?

What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be? Protection in exchange for tithes, and campaigns to make her seem scarier than she is?

That would make her a politician, wouldn’t it? A giant flying lizard politician.

What a headache.

Oxylus

Mana exists and, somehow, seems to have a purpose, beginning with its arrival triggering a cosmic event that burst through numerous realities, bringing upheaval and turmoil to all within its path…

Transported from Earth under mysterious circumstances, Sloane and her daughter Gwyn arrived in the world of Eona only to discover they had been separated from each other. Forced to venture on a desperate quest to find one another, mother and daughter each embark on magical adventures, filled with untold wonders and fantastical beings. They undertake their journeys across a continent rife with power struggles, where ancient kingdoms and guilds are in disarray, scrambling to adapt to the arrival of magic in their world.

A hardware engineer by trade, Sloane must use skills learned over a long career to craft any edge she can against beings who have thrived using weapons long since obsolete on Earth. Perhaps mana will provide the answers she needs.

Her mother, a Spellblade, her father a Talismartist. So why did she have to be a Warrior?

When she was a child, Astrid heard stories about how her mother served on the walls of Humanity’s Bulwark to protect their country from their inhuman enemies on every side. With terrifying stories about their many foes, she quickly decided to become a delver in the Dungeon. There, she could gain enough levels and experience to serve as one of humanity’s elites, to protect her borders and countrymen. To do that, she’d need a party, and she had a plan.

That plan didn’t work out, and now, she’s all alone, trying to become a delver without her planned allies or family. With just her Skills and armor, she’s going to show the world that, even if she doesn't have a lick of magic, Astrid Warrior will be a force to be reckoned with.

-A nonmagical MC who’s confronting the Dungeon and her enemies with the strength of her arms.

-Reliance on a couple strong Skills.

-Lots of action.

-Monsters and enemies to slay!

-Slowly building a core party to delve with.

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.

The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within their ever-dying cities. Mages create the only path forward.

Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a path to power that was her own. She knows it’s her duty to use that power to serve humanity, defending them against the creatures of the untamable wilds. However, she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

Now, Tala has to balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Magic Academy dropped on her shoulders for the opportunity; not to mention staying alive.

Even though she should only be a Mageling, the world considers her a Mage. Bless the stars she directed most of her magic toward survival.

This fiction contains violence and tense situations. It will reference adult topics but will not contain sex scenes nor overt delves into 'sex/sexuality in other worlds.'
