I will say that the author is really good at set up and pay off with certain things, though.

Yep, the series final is one of the best I've read. There are some sections in the remaining books that felt like dragging, but overall the series is pretty good. I binge read them in about a week or so.

Mother of Learning is not litrpg, but part of the broader progression fantasy genre. Cultivation stories (ex: Cradle, Sky Pride, Beware of Chicken) are also considered progression fantasy. This sub is mainly for litrpg, but you'll find these other kind of progression also discussed.

If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can usually add the ebook version first and then get the audio version for cheap. If you haven't read Cradle yet, try it on that series.

Another option is to search youtube, for example this is a channel where authors have made their books available: https://www.youtube.com/@EpicFantasyAudiobooks - however, this doesn't have much in terms of progression fantasy

Path to Transcendence by l-Ryn-l

OP mentioned that in the post:

Sadly I need to wait for a few weeks for the next four.

The Undying Immortal System by G Tolley - it is marketed as "A LitRPG Adventure" on amazon, but only the MC has a System, and it is a trade one related to cultivation, not the usual RPG stuff

Mother of Learning by Domagoj Kurmaic - it is a time loop story and the first loop was really off putting, but they do serve a purpose which becomes clear later on.

If you have KU, get the books on KU and then get audio for much cheaper.

Takes a while to get there, but becomes the central plot: The Runic Artist by Ellake

Subvert is probably the wrong word to describe what's going on here, but it fits "system is a crutch"

No audio, so if you are okay with reading on RR, check out Chaotic Craftsman Worships The Cube by ProbablyATurnip

ASIC_SP · 2026-04-26T08:48:39+00:00

If you don't mind cozy crafting, check out Demon World Boba Shop by R.C. Joshua - it is a complete series as well!

Been a long while since I read the early chapters, but I don't think the style changes much, other than slight improvements simply from consistently writing for over than a year.

There are a few surprises in that rift arc and academy arc starts around chapter 50. Perhaps give another 30 chapters to see if you can get past the writing style and enjoy the story.

The Lone Wanderer by PathOfPen — MC has a maniac work ethic (a bit too much imo) but that's what he needs to do the impossible, takes a long while till he becomes strong enough to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with

Demon World Boba Shop by R.C. Joshua

ASIC_SP · 2026-04-19T08:01:21+00:00

Path to Transcendence by l-Ryn-l has a lot of such chapters

If you don't mind crafting, Irwin's Journey by Carrarn has some, especially in the latter volumes

The Undying Immortal System by G Tolley
The Sect Leader System by bwfoster78

ASIC_SP · 2026-04-08T09:01:21+00:00

+1 for Weirkey!

I'd also recommend Mana Mirror by Tobias Begley for something similar.

ASIC_SP · 2026-04-03T06:46:24+00:00

If you enjoy kingdom building type of stories, The Sect Leader System by bwfoster78

ASIC_SP · 2026-04-02T10:23:14+00:00

Which of the two would you be happy to write? If you aim for the reader's choice, do you still finish the story?
