Hunter/Player/Awakener-Gate/Tower/Dungeon/etc.
You know this genre. People awaken superpowers and are called Hunters/Awakeners/Players/Rankers/etc, and monsters and/or mutated creatures invade Earth. Also there are gates to other dimensions and/or a tower where each floor is a dungeon and/or regular places suddenly become dungeons. May also include beings from other dimensions who started this nonsense for their own self-interests.
May include series that aren't *quite* this genre but are close enough. Includes both romance and non-romance.

I keep going back-and-forth on whether or not this should be on this list, but decided that since the word "Awakener" is actually used that it should be on here.

Awakeners also eventually differentiate into the ABO genre. Monsters already exist in their world, but now monsters also starting come out of "cracks" that started to appear alongside Awakeners, and increasingly ominous signs point to an incoming apocalypse-like scenario as these cracks appear more often. And the focus of the story is on army building and political intrigue. AND... more>>
