Opening Moves#1
Cosimo Yap · The Gam3
★★★★★Fun, seamless action with a thought-out system. Plot is especially relevant in an AI age. Bingeable. I've read the series three times.

Ritualist#1
Dakota Krout · The Completionist Chronicles
★★★★★Lighthearted VR story that seizes fun and doesn't let go. Plot is ridiculous and humor spot-on. Lots of crafting, if you enjoy that sort of thing.

Asgard's Fall#1
Robert Hinshaw · Digital Rebirth Chronicles
★★★★★Epic litRPG fantasy that smoothly blends ancient myth with modern VR. Only reason this isn't number one is because I'm not sure the series will complete. I've read the released books three times.

The Land: Founding#1
Aleron Kong · Chaos Seeds
★★★★★Peak crunch. Highly recommend if you enjoy intricate leveling systems and game-like lore. Base-building elements are also top-notch. Main downside is the gamer MC, who many find a turnoff.

Player Manager#1
Ted Steel · Player Manager
★★★★★Soccer manager litRPG. You don't have to like sports to enjoy, though it probably helps if you can follow soccer on TV. I learned a ton accidentally while following the grand misadventures of Max Best, an over-opinionated Brit with a bone to pick.

He Who Fights With Monsters#1
Shirtaloon · He Who Fights With Monsters
★★★★★An Aussie cultivates blue boxes, beats up monsters, and saves more than one world. Fun MC. The unique setting and progression system has spawned at least one excellent fanfic, which is how you know it's good.
