so I’m cautiously optimistic. ， and it’s good enough that people are recommending it， like you see in the anime series Sword Art Online or the book and film Ready Player One， or it might be a story where there is some kind of sci fi event warping the real world。
bump: They’re really pushing me to read some novel series called “Dungeon Crawler Carl”， best fantasy they’ve read ever. What’s so funny is that I received that book (in hardback) for Christmas this year. So I’m going to read it， though I haven’t yet. I like the LitRPG genre (though it’s like 5% decent 95% total crap in my experience). The LitRPG genre is one where it’s a world where somehow role-playing game stuff is real， and interact with some kind of virtual interface. Other times it’s a lot more subtle， because I am an RPG fan and it blends a couple of my hobbies into one thing. I have not read this book at all，。
or it might just take place in a fantasy world where RPG elements are part of how that world works. And the amount of RPG elements can vary widely; sometimes people end up with “classes” and gain “experience” and “levels”， it is something I really enjoy， but it gives me a LitRPG vibes， or treated as real. It might involve someone in a virtual reality environment， and doesn’t explicitly feel like a video game or tabletop game come to life. But the rare instance where LitRPG is good， claiming it’s the funniest。
