LitRPG books

Stories that run like a game: characters level up, check their stats, gain skills and fight through dungeons built by some greater system. Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl turns the end of the world into a televised dungeon, Shirtaloon's He Who Fights with Monsters drops its hero into a world of magic and progression, and Zogarth's The Primal Hunter follows a lone archer growing stronger. This is LitRPG and its close relatives.
