I know this isn’t what many of you come for, but I want to share, like some of my readers have.
LitRPG is a genre of fiction that generally takes place in some kind of virtual reality. There are variances, of course, but that is the most common. Its been going through a bit of an explosion as more and more people find their way to it, and as many of the novels are translated, its apparently big in Russia.
So, I decided to link a few of the best that I have come across. I won’t give blurbs, you can find them on your own if you have the interest.
Survival Quest (The Way of the Shaman: Book #1)
A new entry. I found it a solid read.
AlterWorld (Play to Live: Book #1)
This is a very well known one, but I need to throw it out there for those that may not have come across it.
Edge of Reality (Phantom Server: Book #1)
This one isn’t out yet, but I’ve read the sample chapters and it really appeals to me.
If people want I can keep updating this list as I come across more.
This one is a work in progress, similar to a serial.
It’s also popular in Japan, Korea, and China.
This reminds me of a book by K.D. Wentworth, The Imperium Game. It wasn’t called LitRPG back then.
Looks interesting.
It is popular in Japan, Korea, and China. But web novels and light novels are a slightly different thing. The cultural divide can be a bit much for those just getting into it.
Shouldn’t this be tagged ‘Not A Chapter’ rather than ‘Chapter’?
Good catch. I really thought it was categorised properly. Thanks for that.
RoyalRoad fanfictions has hundreds of Virtual RPG novels on the site. It is a good way for dipping your toes into VRPG without paying money.
However have read the last 3 recommended novels and they are pretty decent.
Totally agree with you on continue online. It’s amazing.
Its amazingly*
How about I edit that for you?
New addition to the genre. The Land: Founding. LitRPG + world building and comedy!
