I absolutely hate the LitRPG mentality. RPG stats were always just abstractions to try to convey concrete things, yet now we have a generation of autists who are obsessed with the abstractions and not what those abstractions were actually trying to convey. "Experience points," "stats," "quests,": these were all just mechanical conventions to make the experience of a fantasy adventure work in a gamified setting.
