New Series
Path of Steel by Valerios
An alien organization called the Network conscripts Earth and purges every person whose body cannot handle magic. Gary is a programmer, and he watches his girlfriend turn into a monster before he walks into a forest full of alien creatures and rival climbers with a pencil as his only weapon. The System that governs his progression has a cruel sense of humor, and Gary picks the Path of Steel, a vengeance path aimed at beating the Network from below. This is apocalypse LitRPG with cultivation elements, a spear-fighting underdog lead, and gritty weak-to-strong progression. The first volume runs about 1,050 pages, and Amazon already lists a second book. Valerios also wrote Road to Mastery. Suits readers of Defiance of the Fall and The System Apocalypse who want a long opening volume.

Continuing Series
He Who Fights with Monsters 13 by Shirtaloon and Travis Deverell
Jason Asano was pulled from Australia into a world where essences and awakening stones grant abilities, and adventurers climb ranks from iron to diamond. Book thirteen brings him back to Earth with cosmic-level power and a set of strong allies. Earth is split among magical factions after a monster cataclysm, and a vampire war is about to start again. Some people fear Jason and some worship him, and he wants no part of ruling anyone. A vampire queen who beat him before has returned, escaped experiments are killing people, and an enemy tied to his past has been waiting for this moment. The book runs about 800 pages, and Risingshadow lists a fourteenth book for 2027. Jason’s sarcastic voice still drives the series, and readers who enjoyed the earlier Earth arc will find more political maneuvering here.

Totally Spiritual 3 by Quinn Rivers
Ryan Aglecard is a Spirit Keeper at New Riverside University, and his progression comes from collecting spirits and learning what each one can do. In the third book he starts a new semester and moves in with his friends Sylvia and Modak to get away from campus drama. New allies reveal parts of his family history, and the group ends up trapped in a lethal dungeon with an enemy who has changed. This is urban fantasy LitRPG with a college setting and a coming-of-age tone, and its stakes stay personal. The book is billed as the last of the series, and Amazon lists no fourth volume, so the full story is now three books long.

Fight. Level. Survive. 4 by xrmaze
Mason is a brash, trash-talking fighter in a comedic isekai LitRPG, and he levels by winning fights and talking down the people he fights. Book four sets him against what the blurb calls his final challenge, with only a small taste of divine power to work with. Old enemies return, new ones appear, the gods are watching, and Mason has to win with his abilities, his allies, and schemes he makes up on the spot. Amazon lists the series at four books, and the blurb reads like a climax, though nothing official calls this the ending yet. Expect plenty of profanity. The book runs about 420 pages. Suits readers who want fast fights and a loud, funny lead.
