well the only series in the genre i read was Unsouled and i liked in in spite of the litRPG slop, i felt like if he had just oriented the power elements around the story vs anime/game like leveling up it would have felt more natural. like the protag gets quite a few useful tools near the end of the series which aren't just him being more powerful, stuff more in that realm vs uhhh his power number went up because reasons
