(Part 2) Top products from r/ProgressionFantasy

Spellmonger definitely has combat, but it isn't a progression story in that respect after the traditional sense.

The protagonist starts out as a small village hedge wizard, slowly growing in power and importance until he's eventually a feudal lord and more. So if you consider gaining new titles and ranks in the peerage progression, then you might find it to be a fun read.

I am a fan of this style also.

The Novice: Summoner: Book One (The Summoner Trilogy 1)

​

Opening Moves (The Gam3 Book 1) This series takes place in a school like environment.

​

The Hound of Rowan: Book One of The Tapestry Very YA, but Fun.

​

The Emperor's Blades: Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, Book I A lot of the book takes place in a "school"

Kinda in order. Keep in mind I don't read the translated Asian novels because most of the translations are hot garbage and I just can't get used to those.

Cradle from Will Wight- Excellent writing and plotline, it's what got me into this subreddit in the first place. No need to say any more, this is a stable of the sub.

Mother of Learning from Domagoj Kurmaic- Also really solid, the story is a few months away from finishing, highly recommend.

Metaworld Chronicles from Wutosama- The author took a generic isekai plotline and twisted it. The writing might not be completely as good as the others, but probably competing for personal enjoyment right up there with Cradle. It's not as popular as the others, but read the first few chapters and give it a shot if you want.

Arcane Ascension from Andrew Rowe- Very solid too, but slightly inferior to Cradle imo. Probably because I read Cradle first. Honestly, the book is quite forgettable since I don't remember the plotline, but I still remember it being good.

The Traveler's Gate Trilogy from Will Wight- It gets really wordy at times, and I get confused by the plot sometimes because I get impatient and my eyes skip a few lines or so. Still solid, but the weakest one out of the ones I've read.

There are a number of Sci-Fi Lit-RPG stories out there. Two of my favorites are

For more traditional fiction

Troy Rising by John Ringo - A grocery store clerk leverages a black market human delicacy to forcibly uplift Earth. Lots of progression of Tech, crazy ideas, and space battles.

You're...so close on some of the details. Close enough for me to get you an answer, anyway.

Luck Stat Strategy by Blaise Corvin, author of the Delvers LLC series you may see bandied about here.
