There is no Epic Loot here, Only Puns.
Must-read for fans of dungeon core novels. Thousands of pages available on Royal Road. Unfortunately, it looks like the series has been dropped.
The 108
A Joe Shmoe is chosen as Time's Champion in a game far beyond measly Earth. Tight plot, relatable characters, doesn't go on weird tangents that derail the story. My favorite ongoing series on Royal Road right now.
Metaworld Hopecore
Queen of AI slop dies, wakes up in the body of a young girl in a hospital. She has one chance to redeem herself, and a litRPG system to help her do it. Fun progression fantasy with deep characterization and world building. I somehow appreciate art now?
Stray Cat Strut
Magical girls battle aliens in this colorful cyberpunk dystopia. Lesbian (I think) MC with fun crew of kids. YA vibes in adult setting. Sounds crazy? It works. See for yourself. Tong so chaps out now. Bonus, the author is agressively anti-stubbing.
The Toll-Road to Immortality
Cultivation litRPG that draws upon classic xianxia tropes and mixes them into a system that feels very much like a part of the world. Low crunch, a slow burn.
Greg Veder vs The World
Greg gets powers. He's kind fo weird, though. Worm fanfic. Haven't read this in a while; it's been majorly updated since it was put on hiatus. Now ongoing, 300+ pages on RR.
Dungeon Planet: The Healer Always Leaves Alive
Earth has been taken over, so MC boards a ship offworld, in search of better prospects. The best sci-fi take on litRPG and a truly intergalatic universe. Grounded, alien, crunchy. Unfortunately, the series looks like it's been dropped. Come back, author!!
Scourged Earth
Aliens invade, more aliens intervene, and the MC has to cope along with everyone else. Unique progression system involving hormonal implants, levels, and vending machines. One of my favorite apocalypse litRPGs. Aliens are seriously weird, in a good way. Series has been dropped (ugh!) but loads of chaps are available on Royal Road.
