FYI litrpg is a fantasy novel subgenre where characters exist in a world with explicit rpg mechanics and rules, and usually involve exploiting the rules of that system

If you wanna try it out two recommendations of mine are "Oh Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer" which is good and queer friendly and "Azarinth Healer" which has a bisexual main character (yes I'm deliberately recommending ones that are good for queer folks)

First time I've seen the term! The Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy was written based on the writer's TTRPG games, but it all takes place in-world. I wonder if that would count.

@gamesbymanuel for it to be litrpg the characters have to have access to an explicit system with prompts and levels and stats and stuff that they're aware of. it's kinda goofy but it winds up being really fun, i think

In that case I don't think I've read any, unless Ready Player One counts. I HATED it, though.
