Let’s talk GameLit/LitRPG… - literature.cafe

My first experience was the Ready Player duology by Ernest Cline and the This Trilogy is Broken 4 book series by JP Valentine. I’ve also had many recommendations for Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. The Ready Player series was basically an ok story with a “hey, remember this thing from the 80’s‽” through-line. And while some of the jokes felt forced, the Valentine Series overall was a ton of fun and I couldn’t stop reading it. What else have you really enjoyed? (This genre lends itself towards a couple of Bingo squares too. )

I don’t enjoy this genre, really.

But He Who Fights With Monsters is probably the most enjoyable read I’ve had in a long time.

I have a feeling that’s kind of where I’m gonna end up as well. As a general statement, I’m not sure that I enjoy the genre on its own like I generally do fantasy, mystery, or science fiction, but I am definitely enjoying a few of the books in the genre a lot.
