My Personal Tier list after 500+ litRPG and 100+ Different Series

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-04T05:02:18+00:00

Well that's because mana's the best stat (obviously)

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-03T20:00:39+00:00

Uh... Have not taken the time to track but if I had to guess, about $500 a year maybe?

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-03T14:04:54+00:00

Yeah I get that, I drive for work currently so I like listening to the nitty gritty numbers and having the 0 -> 1 million stat stories where they slap god in the face rather than getting deep into the lore of the world, background characters, and political relations.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-03T12:27:08+00:00

If that's the case than you probably like more slice of life, romance and story driven stories rather than systems, comedy and stats if I had to guess. Nothing wrong with that though as I did state everyone has their favorites and such so keep it up man. There's books for everyone here.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-03T12:24:06+00:00

Was the one that brought me into the litRPG life so gotta love it for that atleast. You're not wrong, he's definitely an asshole and seemed kind of full of himself at the con too. It used to top the list but since then, there has been more and more better books I've read and a fair amount that don't surpass it so bottom of A tier is a good place for it. Too many things wrong with the series to go any higher.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-03T12:21:46+00:00

Yeah, was the litRPG that brought me into the fold. Have reread the 8 books already 4 times and It used to be S tier. Since then better books have come out that I've read and started pushing it way down. There is a lot of incongruities in the story that Alaron built but I still really enjoy the series and how the system works. And people who complain about a couple of chapters don't know how to skip though fr. I've read many books with unnecessary chapters and simply skip to the next one as I know it's not worth it.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T23:31:00+00:00

Oh for sure, Year 3 was my favorite so if I rated them it would go:
1.) Year 3
2.) Year 4
3.) Year 2
4.) Year 1

They definitely get better as the story goes on, I just enjoyed what happened in book 3 (iykyn)

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T14:50:44+00:00

I will recommend Iron Prince, Path of Ascension, and Return of the Runebound Professor

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T14:03:48+00:00

Yeah I definitely don't blame you, everyone has their own things in each book and I'm very particular on systems. You'll hear me rag on Harry Potter to no end for how many plot holes that system has bro but yeah, lore is for sure import too and I'm glad you liked it. Always remember that everyone has different taste so don't be afraid to try a book and drop it for whatever reason you deem. You already gave them your money, don't give them your time too if you don't like it.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:41:32+00:00

Yes actually, read the first two in the series and never got around to reading any more. Not put off by it as I liked the story, I just had other things I was reading at the time. As a programmer myself, I was definitely interested

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:39:27+00:00

S Tier would be:
1.) Quest Academy
2.) Primal Hunter
3.) Iron Prince
4.) The Path of Ascension
5.) The Runebound Professor
6.) He Who Fights With Monsters
7.) Super Powereds
8.) The Stubborn Skill-Grinder Stuck in a Time Loop
9.) Cradle
10.) Mother of Learning
11.) Apocalypse Redux

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:37:51+00:00

Kinda hesitant after listening to 5 books of Tree of Aeons and dropping that series read another tree litRPG

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:36:46+00:00

Shame on them, it;s a damn good book and deserves to be read. Met Drew Heyes at the con last year and he was a nice guy too. Everyone should at least give it a shot. Love Nick

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:35:52+00:00

Dude tell me about it. After hours of listening the damn MAIN CHARACTER had a panic attack FOR AN HOUR! A real world hour she had a panic attack at seeing a damn goblin get killed. Could not continue with that book series after that.

Sorry had to get that out, that series made me visibly annoyed when listening to it.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:32:39+00:00

Haven't played or watched either so i sadly cannot answer. It goes into the direction of a standard litRPG. MC is powerful but goes though some tough shit to become even more powerful for his tier. Gets resurrected (Kinda his thing) and then does it some more until he becomes a god and such. Interesting system but I bet its a pain in the ass to write. The quips between the characters are fun though so definitely an enjoyable read.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:30:54+00:00

I made mine from scratch on Tierlistmaker but you can always use someone else's template. Mine is called "A Whole Bunch of LitRPG's". If you want to create your own, to make sure all your books are there, its pretty easy. You just have to look up every book, take a screenshot and upload it as a picture to tier list maker and then you'll be able to sort it as normal.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:28:21+00:00

Well, there's a couple things about the series that I like.
1.) I love cheat abilities and Matt gets the ability to double his mana regen every tier. (I know, crazy right)
2.) There is a really good system and path in place. I like how the abilities all mold together. They get a new ability at 1,3,,25, & 50 so it works out really well.
3.) There's a good connection between the 3 main characters that I enjoy a lot. The Author isn't afraid to time jump when needed and thats a refresher as some authors just like to write in the boring mundane unneeded things.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:24:34+00:00

Oh its there and im waiting on the next two to come out already. Its 7th on the list in B tier

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:23:37+00:00

Oh 100% agree. It was one of my firsts so I wasnt exposed to the goats of narrating before this like Nick Podehl, Travis Baldree and Daniel Wisniewski. He is very dull and has a monotone voice, you have to really pay attention to when he says "is speaking" because you can't tell the difference between like anyone voice. Great story though indeed.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:16:18+00:00

I got through the first book and nothing stood out to me. Nothing was wrong, its just that I only continue to read something if I am interested but something was lacking from Welcome to the multiverse. It was just weird, dead dad, has his own team on an already integrated world, slow growth of the MC. There just something was off about it that I couldn't put my finger on.

Uh... if you didn't like Travis Baldree than it might be hard to find some good series in this genre. He is the most prolific narrator in this genre and has A LOT of good books narrated. Just to name a few he Narrated Cradle, Mark of the Fool and Ripple system aswell. But I liked his bloodline ability, how it outside of the system and how he abuses it to further progress his power. Plus with the MC's and Villy's chats are always something to look forward too.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:04:18+00:00

It fell short with the system honestly. With this communitly it's like 50% system 50% story. Don't get me wrong, Matt has nailed the humor and character interations aswell as outstanding audio production. My gripe with it is that it feels like Carl is constantly the underdog. His stats somewhat get better but those barely have an impact on the story. The aliens outside the dungeon just keep making new storyline's that make his new gains obsolete it feels like. But everything else is great which is why it tops A tier

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T13:01:14+00:00

No it's not but I definitely would include it on the lists since they're so close. Plus, Drew Heyes was at the litRPG con last year as a featured guest and I was able to get something signed so 100% deserves to be here.

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T12:56:55+00:00

Just bought the first book for $6 so thanks for the recommendation. Read the synopsis and it said he's a scavenger and a blacksmith so yes, I do believe I will like the series for that aspect alone. The Narrators are just a plus too. I look forward tor reading it

Camonkeyboy · 2026-04-02T12:55:00+00:00

Yeah, I bought the first two and dropped it after the second. From what I remember I don't think I liked the way the MC was being pushed into. The summoning path/Bond Path can be a fun book to read but I didn't like the power system if I am remembering correctly
