B+A Soldier's Life
A lot of LitRPG fans like this book and for good reason. It's a good book that doesn't let the stats get in the way. This book is a nice twist on the genre because the protagonist doesn't just become a free-ranging adventurer, but rather he is thrust into a soldier's life and it feels pretty real. Also, the progression is earned instead of him quickly becoming overpowered.
