#1 on my list, a VRMMO deep progression with aggressive power scaling and some crafting. One of the best side characters in all of fiction, the mad master alchemist Alph. A genius alchemist that can brew anything on request…..or he might blow up half...

#2 on my list, system apocalypse LitRPG, MC Jake is a former office worker turned hunter/battle junkie. Excellent worldbuilding, oh and he's best buds with one of the strongest gods in the multiverse, no biggie.
The Primal Hunter

#8 Incredibly underrated series. Intro has an intersting twist to your standard LitRPG. Multiple POVs/Main Characters (which I usually hate), but this is done so well.
Monsters and Legends: LitRPG Cultivation Saga

#9 Another underrated series, VRMMO world MC Ned finds himself with a major headstart on release which paints a target on his back. He goes on the run with only a hilariously bloodthirsty, talking axe to keep him company.

#11 favorite non-human MC LitRPG. A boy reincarnated as an ant in a deadly dungeon fights, evolves, and builds a swarm to survive. One of the most unique perspectives in the genre.
