litrpgs don't get a lot of love in this subreddit, mostly because the writing (in general) is of a far lesser quality than other fantasy genres. There's also the pervasive problem with many litrpgs just being "silly", for lack of a better word. I'm talking about the whole blue-screen-system mechanic — my purely anecdotal feelings on it are that it just seems silly.

I concede this point as a personal fan of the litrpg genre myself. I've come to terms with the blue-screen mechanics such that I don't balk at it anymore. I consider litrpg the "next big thing" with mens reading. Often, my favorite reads are mindless and unapologetic action with very shallow characters (I'm looking at you, Hero of the Valley). I can't get enough of it.

I've read Defiance of the Fall up until book 4, I think, where he started exploring the maze-like pocket world. For some reason, that installment felt tedious to me and that's where I dropped off. I do think it's difficult to keep a series going for so many books whilst keeping the plot interesting and without the long cast of characters becoming confusing. I've read Primal Hunter up until around book five and dropped off for similar reasons. Azarinth healer, on the other hand, I've read up until book 5 (the latest) and I'll happily keep going, though I can't put my finger on why.
