LitRPG with a female heroine

Those are LitRPG stories following a female main character through most of their narrative.

Male characters rolling female avatars don't qualify (sorry guys).

Books with a female author are preferred but not required.

Yllo Hi. This is the list of candidates for deletion.

You are welcome to submit the following books to the Goodreads Librarians Group team to have them removed from this list as soon as possible.

Books that shouldn't be added:
- Crashed Into Fantasy (already removed)

I'll try to keep that list up to date.
If you come across a book that doesn't fit this list, add a comment with its title, I'll add it the the list.
If you think one of the books on this list should be kept, add a comment and explain why.


PS: I just realized that this book: Press Start: A LitRPG Adventure (SOL Saga Book 1) that have been added features a female player roleplaying a male character.
... I'm not sure whether that technically fits the description. But I like to think that this list aims to gather LitRPG books with lady gamers most of all. Since a female playing a male is something rare in LitRPG so far, I'd like to make an exception for that genre until it get its own list.
What do you say?


message 2: by Skallagrim (new)

Skallagrim I see that there is a duplicate of 'Nascent' in the list. Not sure how that should be handled.

In case of "Press Start: A LitRPG Adventure (SOL Saga Book 1)", it is a female author writing about a female heroine that acts appropriately in that role. Personally I do not mind that the heroine's avatar has dangling bits at all.
I would be for keeping it in the list, too.

Maybe someone could ask the Librarians to merge these two books into one? That would automatically make the second book disappear, right?

Seems they are already considered different editions of the same book. But is a 'ebook' different from a 'kindle edition'? No clue.
Voting on a specific edition does make some sense in that for example an audiobook edition could sound awful and a kindle edition be formated badly compared to the paperback and as such get different votes.
Except in this case it simply splits the vote. I would love to see 'Nascent' on first place, it deserves it.

Maybe the three voter of the ebook edition could be talked into switching votes?
Best would be a list option that if checked would to sum-up votes for all editions of the same book. Maybe that could be suggested somewhere?

Sorry, got stuck reading Worm. There are not enough swear words in English to describe how epic that book is.

Seems two of the three voted for both book editions. I just wrote to the one that did not. If he switches, the second Nascent could be deleted.
