Yen on
Aching God sounds like it's for you.
Edit* If you are into anime/games then I hesitantly suggest this japanese light novel. I don't really think it's going to be what you're looking for though.
Worth the Candle seems sort of like half story and half critique of dnd storytelling. My experience was that it's interesting but also frustrating for that same reason.

Volume 2 will be out in April (Look at side bar) and so forth every 4 months.
The Crafter by Outspan Foster. I haven't read this one yet, but I'm pretty pumped. Ordered the paperback. Set in a non-vr world.
Dante's Immortality. Highly recommended on this sub. Book 2 probably won't happen. Probably once a week asks about book 2. Still, so good that it's worth reading book 1 of an unfinished series. I think that's pretty high praise for it.
Sufficiently Advanced Magic. Another sub favorite. People argue whether or not it's LitRPG, most important thing is: it's dope.
Adventures on Brad. Nice slice of life in a non-vr fantasy world with game mechanics. Fun stuff.

The original SAO LN in Japan is way past the anime. (A good 2 seasons or so.) In English, it's been published up to the end of the first season with the first arc of the second season coming out on the 15th. (Phantom Bullet) The anime adapts through to volume 8.
The SAO: Progressive series is a re-write of the first arc and hasn't been adapted beyond a single chapter. It's a really good read for those that are interested in what SAO should originally have been. The manga version of it is a silly adaption where it tells the story from another character's perspective while focusing on comedy.
Not sure about other kinds of LNs he might like considering it's hard to get an accurate sense of taste just from the series listed. Going based off the genres, Danmachi is a really enjoyable growth adventure action series I consistently look forward to the next volume of.
A Certain Magical Index is a series I love as the story is always becoming more and more exciting with some of the best writing from an author out of many light novels. The English publication isn't past the anime yet but the anime does butcher some of the arcs so it's worth it to start from the beginning. A companion to this series would be the A Certain Scientific Railgun manga which is also very action orientated.
Tate no Yuusha is an LN series without an anime adaption that got licensed in English. It's a pretty good adventure series that he might like. It's a safe bet for something he's probably not experienced yet I think. Only 2 volumes published in English so far.
Yes there is a manga, however the story originally comes from light novels. If still want to read the manga for a slightly different perspective it can be found on MangaReader.net or many other sites. Edit: the name of the manga is found under this name. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatte Iru Darou ka Gaiden
But here is the link on Amazon to the first light novel.

It's not really "rational" at all, but I enjoyed the hell out of DanMachi. Very fun power fantasy Light Novel in an RPGMechanicsVerse. Was also adapted into an anime. I can send you the EPUBs if you have any interest.
Below includes links to the amazon page, which has identification numbers you can use for other sites, but since many of these titles share comic/manga names, it can be confusing telling the difference. Also, I think everything but Another and Baccano have a good fan translation done as of now, and he may have already read it (at least first volumes) and is not interested in a physical copy of them, so I would ask.
If he likes the idea of a game esque world (very popular right now for some reason), I would recomend Rising of the Shield Hero, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, and Log Horizon.
For more typical fantasy styled light novels, Spice and Wolf, Another, A certain Magical Index, No Game, No Life, The Devil Is A Part-Timer, and soon to be release Baccano.
Spice & Wolf - Love story between a merchant and a wolf deity in a medieval setting.
DanMachi - Hodgepodge of gods from various mythologies acting as catalysts for adventures in a fantasy world.
Goblin Slayer - Edgy but unconventional story of a man who simply kills goblins.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon was price matched by Amazon so it is also currently $7 there. So glad I ended up not buying it last week.
Everything else hasn't been price matched :(.
