Synopsis

After her second death, Tanya von Degurechaff found herself reincarnated once more, this time in a world of monsters and magic. Discovered by Aretuza’s recruiters at a young age, she graduated from the prestigious academy in record time. Securing herself a cushy job in one of the Continent’s most influential kingdoms, Tanya is ready to finally enjoy some peace and quiet.

Unfortunately, her job does not stay cushy for long.

The Spoken Queen’s Swarm

★ 4.69

TheDudeFromCI

The Vex are a monstrous species. A ruthless swarm of man-eaters and a plague upon any nation unlucky enough to find a hive within their borders. The world over, the Vex are to be killed on sight, lest they grow and consume all in their wake.

Rythica is one such monster. A hive queen, no less. Through a quirk of fate, her egg was recklessly smuggled into a human city to be studied. Being raised secretly in a proper society, without ever seeing another Vex, Rythica is forced into a constant internal struggle as brutal and unfamiliar instincts war with the alien life lessons imparted by her unlikely guardians.

What is nature, and what is nurture?

As the first Vex hive queen to ever learn politics, strategy, and more, grows towards maturity, the world can only hope that mercy is something that can be taught.

Because a Vex never forgives and certainly never forgets.

What to expect:

- Heavy emphasis on character development and dialogue

- Slowburn

- Perspective shifts

- Fantasy-world politics

- Heavy action scenes do exist, but are uncommon.

- MC will lead from the back, not as a fighter.

- Lite LitRPG

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.]

The Beast and The Swallow

The complete edited Book 1 is now available on Amazon for a large cup of coffee. All books on RoyalRoadare first drafts.

The Beast and The Swallow on Amazon

Of all the tales in all the lands, there isn't a story more famous and more heart-wrenching than the one about the Beast and the White Swallow.

Never heard of it? Then come closer, for it is about to unfold before your very own eyes.

In a far-away land of snow and mystery, the fates of two bastards entangle.

He is a warrior and a ruler. She is a physician with a tormented past.

Now both of them will have to learn not only to live together but also to fight against any and all that threatens to ruin their happiness. Amongst chaos, schemes, and war, will they manage to fulfill the most difficult task - finding the way to each other's heart and soul?

The path won’t be easy. A dark cult and even darker magic are resurfacing after years of slumber. And while they wreak havoc in the lands of Norden, the Star-gazer’s voice echoes in the night, heralding a dangerous future:

When the Beast falls, the Swallow shall triumph.

For the Sun to shine over Norden, the Swallow must be devoured.

The Dragon Heir (A Monster Evolution/Progression LitRPG)

★ 4.51

Mangowo

Alt title: How to Dragon 101

Her body's a riddle, each hunt and every morsel devoured reveals another piece.

Magic, the currency of power in every corner of the world—pity poor Jade was born without a shred of it. No mana veins, no core to speak of, and as if that weren’t dire enough, she had the audacity to be half beast-kin. Scorn, ridicule, and outright bullying became her daily companions. That is, until one glorious day when she found herself kidnapped by a cult and tossed headfirst into some dodgy ritual.

Naturally, things went pear-shaped. But with chaos comes change—not just skin-deep, of course. Now a dragonling, her body has become a lethal, upgradeable weapon, and her mind? That’s a different battlefield entirely. And someone really ought to explain why the thrill of the hunt sends her pulse racing... and why, for the love of all things sacred, do those blasted monsters taste so irresistibly good?

What to expect:

- A monster evolution system, with Skills, Magic and Mutations
- This is a weak to strong story and Protagonist needs to sharpen her skills instead of just making numbers go up.
- Combat, power-ups, unique skills and mutation merges for powerful abilities

Gothic Twin Regressors

★ 4.84

Smalllobbableballbomb

When an unbeatable enemy threatens to eradicate civilization, necromancer siblings Darien and Liesel Embermourn cast a spell of great sacrifice to give the world a second chance.

Their spell returns them to their childhood years, giving them time to prepare for the disaster they know is coming. But to have any hope of saving the world, they’ll need to rise above their position as petty nobles—and fast.

Yet even as children, they have enemies everywhere. The lord who murdered their parents is scheming to steal their lands and leave them powerless, and he has plenty of allies in the king’s court. Worse still, an ancient dracolich is gathering his strength in the fallen kingdom to the north—and it’s only a matter of time before he senses the twins’ power, sees them as his competition, and moves against them.

With both the realm of the living and the realm of the dead set against them, forging a new destiny for their world will take power beyond mortal reckoning.

How fortunate, then, that mortality is far behind them.

Hope

★ 4.69

sarvashaktimaan

The Aspects are long dead. The venerated creators of reality are no more.

Yet the final scheme of their slayer, of the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they have ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer and closer throughout the eons. Inevitably, unstoppably.

The last Hope is a desperate gamble: For one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

I am not stubbing this story until it's at least complete (if ever).

Expect:
High fantasy.
Weak to strong quick.
Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.
MC that is an actual character not a plot device.
My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.
My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.
Story that matters (or does it?)
No, I can't rewrite the prologue even though I lose a good half of prospective readers on it.

Good writing and decent grammar. Reviewers seem to like it, you might too.

Upload schedule: Updates every Saturday. 3000+ words per chapter.

Meant to be read in RR dark mode.

Garden of Silk

★ 4.76

MadMaxine

The power Slate Graystone needs to remain the ducal heir is just out of reach, and he’ll do anything to get it. Even become a demon.

Battling new instincts, ravenous hunger, and struggling to find her place in a world that's much darker than expected, Slate—now Silk—will fight to claim the life she rightfully deserves. A life for her and the mundane folk she was sworn to protect. But when Silk learns that the corruption left in the fallen Empire’s wake runs far deeper than her own, she’ll need to choose: stand by noblesse oblige, or tear the whole system down—and the Sects with it.
