LitRPG has been a mixed bag for me. This was a gem of a find, and well worth the time and credit. I originally grabbed it because it just looked different (and the genre was beginning to feel repetitive). This proved to be everything I like about LitRPG, and as of book 4, it looks like the ridiculous power creep that seems to kill most of these series has not landed. If you like LitRPG, I highly recommend this series!
