She was the one who was putting together an ' outcasts ' alliance to combat the cool kids alliance , they showed her talking to everyone and she seemed pretty socially aware . She also gave some great confessionals and was a good narrator . She ' s smart and a player , and she ' s likeable too . <| sep |> It ' s not really high tech . If you took away the listed game mechanics the book could easily be a portal fantasy novel where he was actually transported to a fantasy world . You only see our world at the beginning and after that it ' s not important to the story . I also don ' t really like cyberpunk or SF settings either but my favorite litrpg book has a little of it . Awaken Online Catharsis by Travis Bagwell It ' s kind of dark and the main character is a necromancer and a bit of a villain . It ' s also the best litrpg book I ' ve read .
