The best LitRPG, ranked by 276 readers
Readers on r/litrpg and r/ProgressionFantasy love posting tier lists of everything they've read. This page aggregates 276 of those tier lists into one ranking: every book a reader placed in a tier counts as that reader's vote, votes are averaged per series, and series with few readers are ranked conservatively so two enthusiastic strangers can't beat a hundred-reader consensus.
The letter badge is the average tier readers gave the series (S is best, then A-D); the count is how many tier lists it appeared in. Non-LitRPG books that show up in these lists (Sanderson, Dresden Files) are excluded.
