Let’s talk GameLit/LitRPG… (literature.cafe)

My first experience was the Ready Player duology by Ernest Cline and the This Trilogy is Broken 4 book series by JP Valentine. I’ve also had many recommendations for Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman.

The Ready Player series was basically an ok story with a “hey, remember this thing from the 80’s‽” through-line. And while some of the jokes felt forced, the Valentine Series overall was a ton of fun and I couldn’t stop reading it.

What else have you really enjoyed? (This genre lends itself towards a couple of Bingo squares too. )

I've been getting into it too and have read a few! In no particular order:

  • Awaken Online (
    spoilerI'm still mad about the last cliffhanger
    )
  • Shopopocalypse
  • Blade's Rest (not quite as well written, but still pretty good)

Technically not LitRPGs, but close and absolutely worth reading IMO:

  • Wizard 2.0
  • Expeditionary Force (this is kinda polarizing, but I loved it)
