Or are they in a real world with RPG mechanics? GameLit or LitRPG?

Death's Mantle 2
There isn't much time left for Lucian North to save his brother.
Discovering a new way to grow exponentially stronger, Lucian forms an unsteady alliance with the angel Danira, one that he hopes could grow into something more.
Matters are complicated once Lucian is given a deadline by the Council of Death: produce his predecessor, who has mysteriously disappeared, or be tortured until he relinquishes his mantle.
Hunted by parasites, injuresouls, fallen angels, and now his own kind, Lucian must level up in a way he's never fathomed before, crafting everything from mechas to bone armor designed to withstand even the strongest attack. He must forge new alliances, realize the impermanence of the alliances he already has made, and even become a Death Hunter if he hopes to save his brother from certain doom.
But that's not all that's at stake.
As Lucian grows closer to his goal, he's blindsided by an attack that he never saw coming. He's also asked to do something that will reignite a war between the Progeny of Light and the Progeny of Darkness.
The decision Lucian makes will have grave consequences for his future, and that's before his final discovery, one that threatens the very existence of his family.
It's going to be an uphill battle from start to finish. And while Lucian is always up to the challenge, he may not be ready for the consequences.
Pearl of the South (World of the Changed Book #2): LitRPG Series
Earth was never the same after World of the Changed. Humanity was reduced to two camps: monsters thirsting to kill, and players doing everything they could to survive. The squabbles people had spent their time on before? Gone. If you wanted to live to see another sunrise, you had to work with everyone you could, from other players to game functions.
Mark Derwin, the most advanced player through the initial period of the game, knew all too well that his level was no advantage. Far from it—the game owner didn’t tolerate anyone who got too far ahead. The only thing the owner wanted was for Earthlings to disappear without a trace, giving up their resources to be extracted. But not everyone was willing to bend the knee before alien intelligence. In fact, some had begun to fight back against the game.
Tales of a Northblood: Winter's Breath: A LitRPG Saga
From bestselling LitRPG author Carrie Summers comes a new saga about survival on a wind-swept coast.
Jace, a backcountry ranger assigned to patrol the wilderness of North America, was hiking when abruptly he was somewhere...else. Wind battered his thinly-clothed body, and the salt air from crashing waves immediately soaked him to the skin. Nothing looked familiar. And then the strange game messages started appearing in his vision.
With no explanation for how he arrived here, Jace must nonetheless learn to survive in a merciless environment, crafting everything with his own hands. He must learn the art of combat and how to control the powerful abilities that surface in his body. Northblood, they'll call him. A blessing and a curse.
On the bright side, he's totally buff. And there's this hot redheaded game tester who was pulled from her old life and shoved into his.
Things could definitely be worse.

My Opinion: 46 pages, $0.99, Available On Kindle Unlimited
This is a mess. There’s no real story as much as blocks of text that look like code notes, or a chat room transcription. There are some thrown in stat and skill increases in there, but they don’t have a reference and much like the rest of the super short text, just kinda exist. I regretted picking this up even as a KU read.
Score: 4 out of 10
