I just started reading them and they're pretty immersive imo. Kinda gives you that RPG level up feel but in a book.

"He Who Fights Monsters" seems to be a decent starting point.

Do you enjoy more Stat heavy stories or Gamelit style(less stats)?

What are some of your favorites and why?

I'm late to the party but dungeon crawler carl is fantastic. The author mentions that the main character plays Playstation and there's tons of stats and a focus on them in the book.

I'm actually listening to it on audible so I don't see the way it's presented on page but I highly highly recommend the audiobook. I was never a fan of audio books growing up but they've really grown on me.

Omniscient Reader is probably my favorite

I really enjoyed Drew Hayes' Spells, Swords, & Stealth series.

It has a group of people playing a TTRPG that end up wiping in the starting area and the NPCs take up the cause. But the players reroll and start over and there's some fantasy world and real world bleed over.

Do you enjoy the real world bleed over or just prefer keeping it in the game world?

I don't want to spoil things but it's really well done.

It's in the versus order, the players are around the table in the session, and then end it with what the fuck just happened? It's a key part of the plot and a mystery that runs through the series.

I consumed it via Audible and the narrator did a great job. The books themselves are good, but I've moved a lot of my book consumption to audio books and enjoying them during walks and other exercising.
