The Way of the Outcast (Mirror World Book #3)

For the last two books, Olgerd has been stuck at level zero, because of the type of gaming account he has. He’d been trying to get enough reputation in the game world to secure a loan in the real world and finance his daughter’s surgery. Along the way, he’s been through adventures and gained some pretty cool skills and race based rewards. 

Now though Olgerd, your favorite daily grinder, is back. Only he’s now a player and a part of larger plan to unlock major content for the game by conquering no-man’s land...with a slingshot.

Stalwart Souls Online: The Player Killer's Mark

When a mysterious Player Killer with the ability to cause his victims to die in real life appears in the fully immersive massive multi-player online roleplaying game (MMORPG) Stalwart Souls Online, administrators shut down the game servers to find the criminal.

What they didn't count on was the system being hijacked. Stalwart Souls Online is rebooted, a new patch applied. All players online at that time revert back to Trainee level, their hard work erased. They soon discover that the log out function has been disabled, and that that isn't the only thing that has changed in the game...

Digital Shadows: Witch Town

The sequel to the LitRPG horror story Digital Shadows. In the first book players were trapped in a VRMMO horror game and struggling to survive against the various creepy killer clowns and such. Alistair and some others were able to escape the game.

In book two, Todd and some of those players that escaped return to help the remaining players find and light the remaining soul lanterns so they too can escape. This time they're up against witches.

If you liked the first book, you’ll like this one. Just remember that this is a horror story with lots of graphic deaths and tense moments. The story takes some really interesting twists that I won’t spoil but if you like horror games/movies, this is a series that was made for you.

The only thing I found a little annoying is that there is no recap at the beginning of second book. So, you HAVE to read the 1st one to have any idea what going on in Witch Town.

The Way of the Clan 5 (World of Valdira)

The online game of Valdira. An enormous, mysterious world readily accepts anyone into its arms, with guaranteeing endless adventures, epic battles and fabulous treasures. Countless clans fiercely fight for land, participate in wars, spin intrigue and lead spy battles. And somewhere out there, in the endless expanses of Valdira, the adventures of Rosgard continue, thanks to fate and his own personal stubbornness. He has become the Great Navigator, destined to lead the naval armada and guide it directly to the ancient lost continent…

Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm

If I had to describe Viridian Gate Online in one sentence it would be: A trapped in the game story with a hint of political intrigue. 

The story doesn’t spend much time in the ‘real world’ since it’s going to be destroyed by an asteroid. Instead it jumps right into Viridian Gate Online where Jack plans to upload his mind instead of dying on earth. When Jack or “Grim Jack” as his game character is called, logs into the game, he finds himself in a dungeon and has to escape with sneaky thief named cutter. Along the way he tries to save an old woman and is sent on a difficult game quest that will eventually help him establish his character class. 

Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash: Volume 1

When Haruhiro came to, he was in the darkness. Not knowing why was he here, or where "here" even was. With him were others who also remembered little more than their own names. What they found when they came out of the underground was a world that was "just like a game." In order to survive, Haruhiro forms a party with others in the same situation as him, learns skills, and takes his first steps forward into the world of Grimgar as a trainee volunteer soldier.

Last Horizons: Live

The Last Horizon series is a LitRPG with a unique perspective. It’s the story of a group of grey haired gamers getting to spend time together with their friend in a VRMMO, who’s dying in real life. In the game, everyone has maximum quality of life and with time dilation, they get the most time to spend with their friend who in real life is in constant pain. Part of the story is about the normal gaming stuff. The games gone live, these friends who were in the Beta last novel are back in game looking to have more adventures. The other part of the story is about accepting and cherishing what you have time you left. The story got me all teary several times.

Tinker, Tailor, Giant, Dwarf

The sequel to Difficulty: Legendary, the second book in the series has eliminated much of what I disliked about the last, much shorter book. The main character is much less whiney, there is less real world drama, and it feels like the main character actually makes progress. Janus learns about his tinkerer class skills and experiments with what they allow him to do in the game.

The Fool of Avarice: Of Avarice, Book: 1

Nick, a casino owner and lover of money, enters the VR game Welcome Online to turn in game money into real dollars. Now ‘Nicholas Flamel’ a member of the lucky Loterous race, starts his game time off with some neat perks and discovers his luck is more useful and profitable than he thought.

Rex’s Let’s Play

The novel is a side story for one of the characters in the larger Godsmaker Wars series. It introduces and tells the story of Rex, who loves anime and manga. Especially those harem stories and when he creates his character in the latest VRMMO, he chooses a ‘disadvantage’ of sex addiction that forces him to have sex every 24 hours or lose use of some of his abilities and magic. Personally, I skipped the sex scenes and I enjoyed a good LitRPG story.

Unsung Hearts

Eversona is a VR game that can affect both the social and physical state of people in the real world. Gain power or health in Eversona, it translates to real life. Lose all your hearts in game? Die in real life. Every year you spend in game gets you $100,000 in real world money.

This is a unique VR world that uses a combination of class skills and ranks to determine power. The magic system is based in art, music, and singing to create magical effects related to fire, water, fortune telling, and combat.

The story revolves around a unique bloodline skill and how it’s reemergence in the game/real life has the potential to change the power structure between established factions. Some want to use the boy who has this power, other want to kill him. Our main character’s job is to protect the boy.

The Cadet (LitRPG. Squadcom-13. Book:1)

the LitRPG part of the story which doesn’t even appear till about the 22% mark of the book. Here’s what you need to know: Our main character, Paul, lost his limbs in a war during our time. He gets hold of one of these orbs that have the power to regrow limbs. Instead of using it entirely for himself he shares it with a blind woman. Once the orb restores both of them, they find they now share a psychic/soul bond that lets them feel each others emotions and thoughts. They’re both transported to the future where they get further cyborg upgrades and then go into a kind of virtual training system along with other people transported into the past. This training system is very game like, with levels, hit points, stat buffs, and weapons damage ranges. However it’s also very difficult since it’s meant to simulate what these conscripted soldiers are going to face in the field.
