2025 Highlights and What’s Coming in 2026

As 2025 comes to a close, it’s a great time to celebrate the stories that took us on journeys through different fantasy and science fiction worlds. 

Thaumaturgic Tapas: Hidden Dishes Book 3: The Nameless Restaurant was once a discreet hole-in-the-wall known only to a cast of supernatural regulars, but as background magic rises, it brings with it the most dreadful of locusts: new customers. Now the staff are struggling to keep up with the influx—mortal and magical alike—and they’re reaching a breaking point. The only question is whether it’ll be Mo Meng’s rules on magic… or the restaurant itself.

A Thousand Li: The Fourth Wall: The half-Immortal tyrant of Cai has been defeated, but at a devastating cost. Wu Ying has sacrificed both his chance at immortality and his greatest treasure, leaving him gravely injured and his cultivation path in ruins. Now, with the help of his friends, he must rebuild from nothing and question everything he once believed, retracing his journey from the very beginning. But this time, he walks that path with a broken body and shattered cultivation, racing against time before his injuries claim him for good.

The System Apocalypse: Kismet Books 1-3: For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise, and be who they were meant to be. Now, they're trying to offer others the same opportunities as part of a secret organization helping humanity survive the System. Today's mission? Nothing big, just your typical save-the-princess quest. But when you're the Acolyte of a Trickster god, typical is the last thing you should expect.

Climbing the Ranks 3: For Arthur, climbing the Beginner Tower of Malaysia was meant to be his escape from poverty, but gaining a Clan seal thrust him into leadership and responsibility he never wanted. As he navigates tongs, triads, and powerful players, he discovers being a Clan Head matters to the Tower itself, upending all his plans. Now, he must face the final challenge with everything on the line if he hopes to survive.

Magic Kingdom at War Complete Series Box Set: You'd think being isekai'd to a new existence would be fun, especially when you find out you're the lord of a new kingdom. Except this kingdom is at war, and the stakes are the fate of humanity. Now, Matt’s going to have to figure out how to rule a Magic Kingdom at War, with magical elemental creatures, buildings that form out of the very fabric of reality and Heroes at his command against a never-ending horde of monsters.

The System Apocalypse Anthology Volume 3: A relentless bounty hunter. A reporter chasing the story of a lifetime. A warrior paying the price for every battle fought. These stories and more are featured in the third short story anthology for the System Apocalypse, continuing the saga of survival in a world transformed by the arrival of the System. 

A whole new wave of stories awaits in 2026—old worlds to re-explore, bold new adventures to follow, and characters whose journeys will stay with you.
