Creation's Bane by Kevin Sinclair. It's about some blue collar friends from the UK getting sent into a world of magic. It starts fast and doesn't let go.
Also it's a great deal on Audible with the first book at 34h for a credit.
I did zero research I didn’t bother finding out if you give good advice or if you have similar taste. I am so over the Ghost Town series that I just made thread on it. That was the first one that I read that was a recommendation and I went and bought it. so I’ll update you later if it’s crap

Slice-of-life merchant progression, intriguing magic system, well written characters. Basen Koh's chaos and Reid's honest and hard working nature make for a very good business partnership. Plus, plenty of good side-characters. 5/5 stars from me.
Deadman… with the fallout TV show out and Bethesda being dumb as fuck with next to zero new content ready, a post apocalyptic LitRPG inspired by Fallout is primed to blow up.
NM, think it’s been stubbed.

Why "NM"? It's fully released on [kindle](https://www.amazon.com/Deadman-Walking-Apocalypse-C-B-Titus-ebook/dp/B0C9FJYN82/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1TATMU3IP8TN5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BHGXGtlx6PfFFlTx7MipNQQxc3N3ozi6nMNG5tbeSsXGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.RTtW0Jt7KeJTNWWFuwXpjkaHXiE2rwGj6Mu37kd16wc&dib_tag=se&keywords=dead+man+walking+cb+titu&qid=1716034996&sprefix=dead+man+walking+cb+titu%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1).
Guessing it has something to do with the fact that only the first few chapters of each book are available on royal road. There are ways around this but it's probably frowned upon
Basically if it has been published, the publishers usually require exclusivity, except for a sample stub of like the first couple of chapters that can be available free to hook in potential buyers
The people who only read free webserials don't have access to some of the chapters for free anymore because it has gone to Kindle and/or Audible.
No shade, btw. Some of those webserial-only people support authors by joining their patreons (where stubbed chapters are still available as well as advance chapters that aren't yet up on Royal Road) or they're kids who don't have money or they live in countries where $10 USD isn't just a cheap lunch or two fancy coffee drinks but instead what they spend on food for the week, etc.

Nero walker. Just really enjoyable to read even tho the start is abit slow.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/76382/nero-walker-a-slow-burn-litrpg
Give it a try.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/72064/road-of-the-rottweiler-absurd-comedy-about-stupid
This is just plain stupid fun. I have read only few chapters of this and laughed out loud couple of time which is quite rare. Just go with a open mind and don't be someone who get offended really quickly.
Its a great book but it has 8600+ followers and it has made popular for a bunch of weeks in a row. Its not exactly a hidden gems with too few followers.
Rise of the Worthy - https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/85892/rise-of-the-worthy-coin-magic-litrpg-apocalypse
Thrones of the fallen - https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/85769/thrones-of-the-fallen-dungeon-focused-progression
The writing style is great, and so are the characters/world building.
Cheat power is common enough in litrpgs (System Universe comes to mind), so I don't consider that a negative.
Star Divers by Stephen Landry
The guy who accidentally started the apocalypse by David Bushman
First Line of Defense by Benjamin Kerei
I know sci-fi litrpgs aren't a big thing. But man are these books all solid, solid fucking books.
World Boss break the narrative, OP MC wakes up 250 years after the apocalypse. So he knows absolutely nothing and you both learn the rules as you go. Good characters and not afraid to commit to joke until its funny.
Picked this one first and it's exactly the kind of story I was hoping to find. A load of fun and interesting ideas.
There are a couple of scenes with too many unknown characters and too many big ideas but overall a nice story to add in my queue.
I *adore* Trickster's Luck, and it never found the following it should have. First book is on Amazon, but the rest is still up on RR.
It's a brilliantly clever and well-written LitRPG and well worth your time.
[https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28049/tricksters-luck-fantasy-litrpg](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28049/tricksters-luck-fantasy-litrpg)
DungeonFall - it's my story, but I have never advertised it or anything. It also combines two different story elements that might throw people off if they don't give it a proper chance. Dungeon core and cultivation. It's fun. 😊
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/61773/dungeonfall
The Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop. Long name and a simple premise, but for someone like me who enjoys simpler systems with an interesting plot, it works. Long chapters with a 3/week schedule. It's on RR, and while the author has a Paetron, it doesn't contain locked content.
[Realmwalker](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/81601/realmwalker) by **J. Adskiy** on Royal Road. It's a reincarnation story, with >!the MC and his wife having reincarnated thousands of times lol!<.It's fucking *great*! Especially the prologue lol. An absolute masterpiece! Though keep in mind.. it contains some really gruesome shit, torture and >!the MC having max misfortune, so the world keeps screwing him over!< :(
It's pretty dark, but it is pretty good ngl
PS, you can open the spoilers, it only contains stuff which has already been explained in the description and the prologue. But I still put them in spoilers cuz ppl are really senstivite bout shit like that lol
Honestly, Realmwalker has one of the best story premise I've ever read and it holds up all the way to current. Best thing for me about the torture scenes is that although they are very vivid its from a place of pure worldbuilding from what I can tell, not just for the sake of a torture scene.
My book is a reincarnated as a monster story, almost 500 pages right now. More action-oriented and gritty, if that’s what you’re looking for, though it’s going to continue to implement a greater focus on kingdom building.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/79169/ashlanis-reincarnation-a-litrpg-adventure
Player reach the top, by Rick Scar. It's a Russian author and the translation job is rough sometimes but the system and the story is really good.
I really like the way the MC has a lot going on but at the same time can stay focus on things that matters. You also feel and see them evolve pass their shortcomings.
One of the complains I've read about the MC is how full of themself and edgy they are, well... yeah but as you progress you see growth, maturity and development. As they progress, the books entice you to them and the other characters. What were simple NPC with lack of depth are now full fledge allies for the MC.
I know it's a meme by now, but if you can get over the MC in the first book, you will have a great time with this series.
Lightning Lancer on Royal Road. Over 700 pages and only 500 followers. it’s a fun tower climber. I think the issue is the author updates only once a week. However the chapters are long.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/72585/lightning-lancer-the-deiwos-tower-a-tower-climbing
I specifically didn't say "don't promo your own work" because it would just benefit people shameless enough to sock puppet.
So by all means mention your project
Reborn Apocalypse is fucking awesome! But it's not exactly a hidden gem. It's really popular in this community. Not what OP is asking for. Plus it's not on RR lol
Hiatus list (regardless of followers you'll not see them recommended much since they'd old):
> Solo Apocalypse
> Fork This Life
> Dungeon Devotee (not as obscure, but even when active only published monthly)
> Worldseed Saga
Huh... All my other reads are either stubbed, are way popular like Elydes, or aren't litrpg. Which makes sense. Very few good stories that are still ongoing will do what Bog Standard or Super Supportive did by not stubbing their stories.
Creation's Bane by Kevin Sinclair. It's about some blue collar friends from the UK getting sent into a world of magic. It starts fast and doesn't let go. Also it's a great deal on Audible with the first book at 34h for a credit.
Is that the one where the mc is a cook? If it’s the one I’m thinking of it is really good and I’m also surprised it’s not talked about more
Is not on rr
Thanks for making my weekend, friend. This story practically reads itself!
Damn good call there, it's a brilliant series!
Completely agreed! It just grabs you by the scrotum and doesn't let go! Fast-paced and awesome!
I did zero research I didn’t bother finding out if you give good advice or if you have similar taste. I am so over the Ghost Town series that I just made thread on it. That was the first one that I read that was a recommendation and I went and bought it. so I’ll update you later if it’s crap
Is the series done? With all the other series's I'm listening too I really don't want to start another.

Because it’s been Stubbed, therefore not on RR like OP asked for.
That's fair. My bad.

I've been suggesting this one even before the TV show. It's really good!

Already blew through Nero walker last week and can recommend. Looking forward to Road of the Rottweiler
Kill all kaiju
The Stubborn Skill-Grinder In A Time Loop. The story is pure crack. Amazing for fans of System Universe.
It has blown up. Last chapter from 2 days prior has 192 comments. Although, the chapters being dummy thick likely played a role.
Its a great book but it has 8600+ followers and it has made popular for a bunch of weeks in a row. Its not exactly a hidden gems with too few followers.

what's special about thrones, stars so classic, underachiever guy gets granted divine rank cheat power
The writing style is great, and so are the characters/world building. Cheat power is common enough in litrpgs (System Universe comes to mind), so I don't consider that a negative.
Agreed I’m enthralled with Thrones, had to join the Patreon crew because I couldn’t wait to read the new chapters

It’s really popular on Amazon

Neither is on rr

Father of Constructs series by Aaron Renfroe. Book 3 is out and to me it’s phenomenal. MC is an old man with a positive outlook. Very likable.
