It is less of a litrpg and more of a Xianxia/Cultivation story. It still has some very strong systems and power progression, but it is just a part of existence and not a literal game system overlayed onto existence.
If you're looking for more progression fantasy I can strongly recommend it and the various series in the Arcane Ascension universe by Andrew Rowe. If you want more of a game system style adventure I enjoyed the Noobtown series, All The Skills, and the Divine Dungeon/The Completionist Chronicles.
Got it, neat. Thanks for the overview. So similar in concept, but different trappings and structure. I was seeing YA tags on a few places I looked. Does it lean into that style of writing heavily?
I wouldn't place it strongly into the YA category, especially not in terms of themes. I think it's more that the writing is approachable and doesn't contain any overly adult themes.
Cool, appreciate the recommendation :)
