Dungeon Crawler Carl
Matt Dinniman · Dungeon Crawler Carl
Character, plot, and setting are top notch. Toss in irreverant humor and a fleshed-out system, you've a recipe for a beautiful disaster. I've read some books twice.
Opening Moves
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Industrial Strength Magic
Macronomicon · Industrial Strength Magic
Hesitating to add this because of the throuple but it's soo good, I have to. MC is insanely entertaining. Plot escalates at progression-fantasy speeds.
The Legend of William Oh
Macronomicon · The Legend of William Oh
Macronimocon, author of Industrial Strength Magic, strikes again! Lighthearted litRPG tower climber series with fun buildcrafting and an OP MC. Bingeable.
There is no Epic Loot here, Only Puns.
Dungeon core litRPG. Lighthearted, with far less murdering than you might expect, it's nevertheless one of the best dungeon core stories. Warning, it's incomplete. Still, there are enough chapters to satisfy most litRPG fans.
