I am fifty-something software engineer who loves well written systems and characters.
Welcome to the Multiverse is my overall favorite. Some people find some scenes cringe but I don’t. Amazing system here.
Cyber Dreams is hands down the best cyberpunk progression I have read. I love the characters and relationships. This one wins for the most real relationships and situations.
Will Wight all the things. Can’t wait until we get an anime of that series.
The language in Victor of Tucson almost pushed me away but it makes sense in context and gets better over time. Victor is one of my favorite characters.
All the Skills taught me that a card based LitRPG can actually work.
Azerinth Healer is the ultimate power fantasy and has an amazing strong female MC.
Shadeslinger is a deep wobbler between S and S+ tier. I LOVE this series but as I read more non-VRMMORPG I wish Kyle would take his extreme skill and start a new series. Frank the axe FTW.
Randidly… Loved it at the beginning and still find it attractive, but it is getting long. Wish the series had ended already.
These are my favorite LitRPG series. I am a software engineer but I don’t think that effected my list. I am a conservative Christian so I try (and sometimes fail) to keep the list free of language. No harem stuff here at all.
