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 (::: spoiler spoiler I’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)
