No really i do, mostly on PC (Kindle Unlimited ftw) or on my Phone, Preferrably Series that have Whispersync, so i can switch between eBook and Audiobook on the fly.

All those Series are english. (As they should be). The Books listed here will be the First of each Series, just to give you a taste.
These are some of the Series i have enjoyed, and i strongly reccomend to buy them as either an Audiobook or eBook. It is sometimes hard to find good books, since there are a LOT of mediocre ones, especially in the LitRPG and Harem-Genres.

There are some, that are not yet published, those will be marked as "UnPub" in the Tags
Naming will be "Seriesname (Book 1 Name)"
Since a lot of these Books either play in different Settings i will use different Tags to explain them, i.e "Realworld" meaning the Setting is more or less current, with our actual techlevel, and in "real" Locations.
MC is the Main Character, SC the SideCharacter. eBooks are marked eB, Audiobooks AB

 




The John Blake Chronicles (Three Square Meals)

SciFi, Fantasy, Harem, Action, Sex, NSFW, eB


This is by far my favorite Bookseries, what started out as a small story on an online-platform gained enough traction to give M Tefler an income and now it is his full-time-Job. I follow the Series since around Chapter 40, and now, a few years later the books are available as eBooks and Paperbacks. 

The MC is Ex-Military turned Trader, and  gets a hint where to find a lucrative haul, but during his way back realizes that there is a stowaway in his ship. What starts out as an inconvenience turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. Buckle up, this is an epic Space-Opera with a LOT of Action inside and outside the Bed. 



The Demon Accords (God Touched) 

Realworld, Vampires, Werewolves, Action SFW, eB, AB


My favorite Audiobook Series, always a fallback option if i have nothing else to listen to. Really nice pacing, and a good Character Progression. Especially the Audiobooks are amazing, since James Patrick Cronin manages to give each Protagonist its unique Voice and Cadence. 

A young Cop has a "gift" to banish Demons. After getting accepted into the NYPD, he rescues a young woman from a Demon, only to find out she is not exactly human. 




The Divine Dungeon (Dungeon Born)

Fantasy, DungeonCore, SFW, eB, AB


This Series sparked my love for Dungeon Core-Books
Its not the best out there, but its def. in my Top 5 for Dungeoncores.

The MC regains Sentience after his soul was forced into a magical stone. He then realizes he is a Dungeon Core and starts to build his Dungeon, killing Adventurers, and trying to get revenge.



Lewd Dungeon (Lewd Dungeon)

Dungeon Core, NSFW, eB


The interesting part about this Series is that the MC is a bad person,  who blackmails his Students into having sex with him. After the World gets reconnected to the Mana Network, Magic is real again, and the MC gets turned into a Dungeon. 

Now being a Dungeon there are many more options to be a scumbag. A lot of Adventurers learn that there are worse things than Death.



Red Mage (Advent)

RealWorld, LitRPG, SFW, eB, AB


One of the more recent Books i read. Not outstanding, but a good LitRPG with an interesting Skill-System, 

The MC finds itself in a dark Room, realizing it is the Bunker he was stationed in before everything went dark. He then gets a Tutorial and has access to Magic. 
Leaving the Room he realizes the World around him has turned into a Dungeon.



Chaos Seeds (The Land: Founding)

Fantasy, LitRPG, SFW, eB, AB, 


This is the most known LitRPG-Series out there, It is well rounded, and the Character Progression is interesting. It also has some Aspects of managing a settlement. 


The MC is tricked into being reborn in "The Land" where he has to forge out his path to glory, creating alliances and fighting for his life. 



Celestine Chronicles (The Mask of the Template)

Fantasy. Harem, NSFW, eB, AB,


This is one of the many Harem Books that are well made. It does have a very interesting world, and SCs that are not just eyecandy.

The MC wakes up in a strange Land after being killed. with a Scar to remind him that he has been shot. He starts to explore and meet new Friends and allies, in a struggle to make sense of what is happening to him. 




Second Age of Retha (The Luckless)

MMORPG,FemMC, SFW, eB,


Although this Series uses a well-known trope "Stuck in a VRMMORPG" it is very well done, and the Situations the MC gets into are amusing. 

The MC is a very experienced Player, but a after logging in, she realizes someone has pranked her. Her Character is the most broken class in the Game, a Dancer. Ready to quit and log out, she realizes, the Logout option is no longer available, and now she is stuck, fighting to survive with a class that has no offensive skills whatsoever. 



There is no Epic Loot here, only Puns. 

Fantasy, DungeonCore, FemMC, SFW, UnPub


Although it is not (yet) an actual Book, make no mistake. This is most likely the funniest Dungeon Core Story you'll find. 
It is still being written, but the Author (steward92) is keeping the Chapters coming. 

You can find this Story on Royalroad, and rest assured, this is one you will not want to miss.

The MC gains consciousness, and realizes she is a Dungeon Core now. It is expected of her to try to kill everyone that stumbles into her Dungeon, but that does not appeal to her. So she tries to take a different (much funnier) approach.



Enhancer Series

Realworld, LitRPG, Harem, NSFW, eB, AB


A good LitRPG-Series, although with only a few stat-screens. The overall approach to skills is very tech-based.

The MC slaves away in a (literally) shitty job where his boss is an abrasive asshole. 
After a long shift he stumbles upon a Fight between two Supers and is unable to escape before one of the two is killed. 
He picks up a device which gives him "Superpowers" although they seem to be pretty useless. But what seems to be a worthless Skill, turns out to be more useful than he might have hoped. 



Arena (Arena 1)

SciFi, Harem, NSFW, eB, AB


I'm tempted to just show the hilarious Book-Description on Amazon: << ... "As your President, I feel it’s important to tell you all about this guy. He’s a great guy. A real stand up guy. A real go-getter. His name is Marc Havak, and let me tell you, this guy is going to be huge" ...>>

This Series is amazing, the Characters are funny, there is some Sex, but overall its just good entertainment with a lot of Pop-culture references.

The MC is a Truck driver, a real Nobody. Suddenly he gets his hopes up because his female coworker starts flirting with him. But before he can do anything about it, he gets cockblocked by "The President" (yes, although he remains unnamed, the Prez reminds me of a certain orange idiot) and from there on his life turns upside down. Now he has to fight in an interstellar Tournament as Earth's Champion.



Accidental Witches (Brimstone and Broomsticks)

Magic, Fantasy, FemMC, eB


While i am not too much into romance novels, i do enjoy a lighthearted short book in between bigger Series. I have read a few Series by Debra Dunbar, so i already know i like her Style. This was a funny little RomCom-Series where you don't have to "think" as much while reading.

The Series revolves around seven Witch-sisters, which live in a Town which is a safe haven for supernaturals, each book is about a different Sister and the way they found their S/O. While the books each contain a closed story arc, i recommend to read them in order, since they build on another.



Hot Damned Series (Fashionably Dead)

Fantasy, Vampires, FemMC, NSFW, eB, AB


This is one of the funniest Series i have listened to. Jessica Almasy does a stellar job reading, and the Characters are amazing. Even after listening to the complete Series multiple times, i still laugh hard at Pam's foul mouth and Astrid's temper. After this i just buy anything Robyn Peterman writes.

The MC wants to stop smoking, but so far, nothing has worked. As a last ditch effort she goes to get hypnotized but somehow she then wakes up as a Vampire. 

I can absolutely recommend this series if you just want to have a laugh and be entertained.



Ruins of Majesta (Blood and Cupcakes)

Cute, LitRPG, VRMMORPG; Fantasy, FemMC, SFW, eB


This is an atypical Story in my list. It is clearly written with a younger Audience in mind, so there is no Gore and no frisky shenanigans. Nevertheless i would recommend this completely as it shows that a good story and writing prevails over pure wish-fulfillment.

The MC is a young genius, at 11 Years old, she accomplished much in Reallife and in other games. When a new game launches, where you can use chars from other Games, she reuses her Princess Fluffy Character, complete with a frilly dress and her huge Warhammer "Happiness". While some of the story is cute enough to induce diabetes, i was not able to put this book down.
Read it, its worth it.



Crystal Shards Online (Dodge Tank)

LitRPG, VRMMORPG, Fantasy, SFW, eB


Almost like "The Land" this is one of the staples of good LitRPG in my book, the story is well thought out, the Characters are relatable, and their actions and decisions make sense.
This book strikes a nice balance of Game/Reallife, and there are a few amazing plottwists. If i had to name one thing this book does better than a lot of their competitors, its that even with "OP" Items, the MC has to work for his goals, its not just "get item, win game"

The MC "works" as a Miner in an online game, due to his disability in Reallife, he is unable to fight in-game. He is saving money to be able to pay for an operation to save his mothers life and time is running out. But a lucky find of a rare item gives him new options.



AERA

Mystery, Noire, SFW, eB, AB, German


What originally appeared in an eBook series (10 Episodes)
has been released as an Audiobook which exists as a redacted 7h or complete 21h Version. 

The story revolves around Malleus Bourreau, an Interpol Investigator, who remains an Atheist in a world where Gods came back. After fighting in the Reclamation War where the plethora of reemerged Deities and their Followers took back the lands and sites previously claimed by God, Allah or Jehovah and their religions.
He is an Atheist by choice, after loosing his Wife and Daughter. This is why he is favored as an investigator: he pays them no respect, especially not, if an entity is involved in a crime. Especially not, if that entity is a god.

The Book reminds me of The Davinci Code or the Iron Druid Series, with some intrigue and plottwists.



Metal Mage (The Metal Mage Series)

Isekai, Fantasy, Magic, eB, AB, NSFW


This series surprised me, i put it off for a few times, based some reviews, but since i was looking for a new series anyway, i picked up the first book through KindleUnlimited.
That was 2 Days ago, im now hooked and reading through Book 5.

The Series has some interesting approaches to the well-known Isekai-Genre (Guy from Earth gets teleported to a unknown world) and it seems to have the right mix of Story and Sex for my taste, it does not feel forced and the MC and his Harem each have their unique personalities.
Granted, there are a a few spots where i feel the writer used the "its Magic"-Excuse a bit heavily to allow the MC to build a Motorcycle or Guns, but still all in all, this was a very positive surprise, and i bought all five books even after having read them through KU. i will definitely reread this series if a new book comes out.

The Book starts out as a classic Isekai, Guy wakes up in the Void, and meets a Goddess, who he has known in the Past. She sends him to a Fantasy-world, and gifts him the Ability to influence Metal which is a unique talent on that world. He slowly gathers a Harem and fueled by his memories of Earth he reinvents Weapons and Gear to aid his quests.



The Slime Dungeon Chronicles

Fantasy, DungeonCore, SFW, eB, AB


How i havent read this sooner, i dont know. Im sure i started it back on Royalroad, but i am now reading/listening to it through KU/Audible and it has me hooked.This is one of the OG-Dungeoncore Books, even predating Dakota Krouts Divine Dungeon.

The MC is a Dungeon Core and together with his Pixie Claire he builds a Slime-Dungeon.

The Pacing is pretty decent, and although there are various plotlines and perspectives to consider, it manages to find a nice balance between character progression, worldbuilding and action. The Audiobook is decent, but after listening to some other stellar Voiceactors, Ryan Turner is good, but not quite up there.



Elder Lich Saga

Fantasy, MonsterMC, SFW, eB


This is an interesting one. A Elder Lich's Master dies, and as a dieing whish he asks his Minions to find their "purpose in life". Due to this the allmighty Elder Lich posesses a small boy and tries to blend in with humanity. But how does an a Being of vast power pretend to be a small boy?

The Situations that occur, and the haughty and krass way the Lich talks to the "inferior human maggots" regardless of station made me chuckle a few times. Since the MC is most likely the strongest undead caster to walk the earth even his "small" actions pose a conundrum for the Humans he interacts, since his Powers exeeds theirs extensively.

My only regret is that there is only one book out, and the Author M.J.Sisa has multiple Series in the making, so a new installment might take a while.



The Hellequin Chronicles

Fantasy, Magic, SFW, AB, EB


The Protagonist is a Thief, atleast now, he has memory of his life prior waking up in an warehouse with a gun, a cane and a piece of paper with a name on it.

During the course of the Book, Fragments of a former life appear and contribute to the mystery of who he is. Interspersed in the chapters, there is a second storyline from >500 Years ago, which becomes more relevant as the story progresses.

I love that the protagonist is a real badass, but he has no idea why.



The Good Guys Series

LitRPG, SFW, AB, EB


This Series is a classic LitRPG, with a strong emphasis on the Gameworld, the "Real World" gets mentioned in passing at best, since it only used to underline the ways the protagonist behaves/thinks.

The Characterprogression is interesting with a main protagonist being op. The later Books even involve some mild basebuilding.

Overall its a nice and easy read, with a few flaws, but overall is very entertaining.




Tom

Isekai, SFW, EB


This is a series i didnt know i needed.
The Protagonist (Tom) gets transported back in time. A LOT of time, 47'000 years to be precise.

Currrently there are 6 Books out, and they are very well written, and the setting is very interesting. The Author managed to describe a world, that is real, believeable and well thought out. There is Basebuilding, Romance, Intrigue, Plottwists and Animal companions. I can strongly reccommend it.

Isekai'd Shoggoth

Isekai, Harem, NSFW, 


Man, it happens rarely, but after searching through countless Stories, i stumbled on this one, and it became an instant "Top 5 Free"-Story for me. 
The biggest plus here is the writingstyle of the Author, while the Setting and the overall storyline is somewhat common, he manages to write in a way that had me giggling out loud sometimes. Its very light on the NSFW-themes, and its "Fade to Black".

A russian Girl gets reincarnated into a Fantasy-World as a Shoggoth in the Form of a young Girl and starts to revolutionize the Industry due to her "Shoggoth-Bullshit" as it is aptly called.
