VISCERAE
Horror fanatic hops into a hyped VR game. It's everything she wanted... and more. Body horror, MC who's super into it, strong litRPG elements. Adaptable character keeps story from getting too dark. Scope of plot expands slowly and steadily.
The Cabin Is Always Hungry
MC is a haunted house, but worse. Way worse. Evil(?) MC goes after even greater evil. It gets dark, ya'll. I enjoy the litRPG dungeon core stuff. Took a break because it. Is. Dark.
Dreamer's Throne
Seth Ring · Dreamer's Throme
A broken man far from home discovers a strange, gamelike power that gives him a window into a world where horrific monsters lurk. Traditional fantasy, horror, litRPG. Would be rated higher but the series is on hiatus.
Apex Guardian
Jollybane · Paladin of the Forsaken Lands
Classic fantasy litRPG with eldritch twist on druid class. Likeable MC becomes OP. Base building and monster crafting elements emerge later in series.
The Bystander
Rob M. Lastrel · The Game at Carousel
A horror buff is trapped in a real-life horror game with friends, must use his horror-movie knowledge to escape. Dungeon crawling, but horror-film tropes. Light crunch. Appeals to fans of the horror genre (film). I'm not one of them. Still excellent.
