View submission: Do NOT Sleep on Dungeon Crawler Carl
So, something like Planescape: Torment is cool (and it absolutely is), but somehow LitRPG is not? I mean, I'm taking a wild guess that your username is not random. I haven't read any litrpg, but my kid has liked a few of them (along with many other genres).

My username is a reference to Planescape, the role-playing game setting, not the computer game. :)

In planescape, the stats are an abstraction to facilitate gameplay. Ideally you’d get rid of them but you can’t really so we make do.
The idea of introducing them into a book is ludicrous beyond belief because that abstraction is not needed when the author has control.
I am firmly with the chap that is reeling.
