What is LitRPG? LitRPG, short for literary role-playing game, is a subgenre of fiction that combines the conventions of computer role-playing games (RPGs) with traditional narrative plotlines. LitRPG stories often feature protagonists who are transported into a virtual world or who are playing a video game that is so immersive that it feels like they are living in another world. The stories typically focus on the protagonist's progress as they level up, gain new skills, and battle monsters. LitRPG stories often include detailed descriptions of game mechanics, such as character statistics, skill trees, and inventory systems.

Primal Hunter Book 10. (mastodon.world)

Primal Hunter Book 10.
Finished.

I really enjoy this series, the power scaling has been screwy since book 1, but it's got some good jokes and the universe can be interesting. The main character is one note, but if you happen to like it well it's worth reading.

Hey Lemmings,

My book just came out, book 2 out of the trilogy.

Dungeoncore, litrpg.

You can get it at: https://geni.us/RiseOfKers2

Here's the blurb: Despite his victory against the Guild, Kers soon learns that there is now an even greater target upon his cloudy back.

Typical.

Then there’s the small matter of Marwan, the Dark Lord who wants to take over the world, and the Jade Citadel sortie that is on the verge of collapsing. Not to mention the fact that he now has to ‘get along’ with his neighboring core and deal with a mysterious orca-like monster that has started flying nearby…

Oh, and he also has a new floor to generate and fill with fresh challenges and mobs. Yes, creepy dolls that wear your friends’ faces will be included. Also, mastodons.

Will Kers learn to fly and save those who plumb his… erm, heights? Or will he crash and burn, a victim of those he cares for?

Two things are certain; Selena will get her pizza and Kers will only get weirder.

Defiance of the Fall Book 1
Finished.

I finished a couple days ago to be honest and I'm already on book 2. I think there's a lot of potential here. The power scaling feels like it might get out of hand pretty fast though. I'd give it 7/10. Interesting mix of stat based and cultivation based litRPG.

Although it's progression fantasy and not litRPG, Cradle is a classic. It is a completed series with 12 books overall. Featuring some of the best one liners in any book series.

It also features one of the best characters: Eithan Arelius

Jake's Magical Market.

I just finished Jake's Magical Market and it was great! I think the pacing was off, too much happens in one book, but it was still fun.
