World Of Cultivation by Fang Xiang.
Invisible Dragons by Duichidak.
Log Horizon by Mamare Touno.

[Jocelyn_Uasal]

Some of the greatest pieces of fiction in history include:

Frankenstein

Iliad & Odyssey

Dracula

The Godfather

Welcome To Dead House

The Narnia Series

The Time Machine

War of the Worlds

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Gulliver's Travels

 

[2wordsperminute]

EPIC the musical is the Odyssey and a bit of the Iliad in the form of a concept album. It's pretty good. Wouldn't say it's the best, but Eragon is also good. One Piece and Made in Abyss are also fantastic fantasy stories, although made in abyss leans towards being very dark. If you can't handle gore, don't watch made in abyss. And please, do yourself a favor and don't read the manga. The author has some weird preferences (and really likes to show it) that get mostly censored in the anime.

 

[Alfir]

Ang Panday

 

[georgelee5786]

Conan the Barbarian Complete Collection

Underrated series tbh, if you mean the Howard ones

 

[CharlesEBrown]

The Narnia series some people swear by, but personally I found it a bit meh.

The first three and fifth books are great. Four was a little disappointing, six so forgettable that I do not remember any of it, and the final book (The Last Battle IIRC) was just kind of weak (or were there only six and my memory is playing games with me?).

If we are talking classic stuff and not ones posted here or on other, similar sites, I would say just about anything by E(dith) Nesbitt (it is all definitely more juvenile fiction but still very well done), Lloyd Alexander's "Chronicles of Prydian" (based on Celtic lore - also very YA or younger but still great). If you consider the foundational books of some mythologies to be "fantasy" "The Mabinogion" and the "Prose Eddas" are worth pursuing (especially the ones translated by H. Rider Haggard or J. R. R. Tolkien). H. Rider Haggard's "She" cycle is also borderline fantasy and possibly worth looking up. Most of these, except Alexander, are in Public Domain so can be found for free or 0.99 cents.

A little more recent but in the same vein as the Nesbitt and Lewis "English School Kids Find Their Way to Fantasy World" stories is Joy Chant's "Red Moon Black Mountain" - brilliant book.

Also a good "borderline fantasy" (the fantasy exists only in the head of the MC and his sidekick), Miguel Cervantes' "Don Quixote" is mostly genius (except for the part he was "forced" to write to keep others from stealing the IP).

Another good fairly recent series was the Twins trilogy, the second Dragonlance series from TSR (by Margaret Weiss and Tracy R. Hickman), the series where they were not hamstrung by having to tease without spoiling a series of modules being co-written with the novels (the original Dragonlance series - which is good but not great, primarily due to this hamstrining).

Oh also one of the earliest world hopping stories is Silverlock (by John Myers Myers), which has definite fantasy elements, despite being mostly a "travel" story (similar to Gulliver's Travels and I believe he meets at least one character from Gulliver's Travels).

And there are the Harald Shea stories (most, but not all, written or co-written by L. Sprague DeKamp, who also did a lot of the better Conan stories after REH died).

 

[Fallenlily]

This story is an excellent fit, featuring expansive world-building that includes numerous kingdoms, as well as a wealth of illustrations and diverse characters.

It offers captivating battles involving magic and martial arts, high-level diplomacy, noble intrigue, strategy, economics, kingdom building, and much more.

Alice the Evil – [Fantasy – Kingdom Building]

Alice Vasilissa, an MMORPG game character from a game called Monsterland. The player controlling Alice Vasilissa died, and she was reincarnated into the form of her game character, feeling initially shocked, confused, and unaware of what had happened. Gradually, Alice Vasilissa had to accept...

Grand Warlock: My System Gave Me Infinite Classes

You are going to love this one. A treat for any LitRPG lover.

Style:

Clear, fast-paced, and immersive. The author writes with confidence, blending crunchy LitRPG elements with vivid fantasy without bogging the reader down. Exposition is handled well, and big moments hit hard. There's a cinematic quality to action scenes and class evolution sequences. Sometimes descriptions lean generic, but never to the point of confusion.

Story:

The plot starts strong and stays compelling. Robb's situation is desperate, the world is hostile, and the power system gives real room for creative progression. The overarching mystery (what is this system, why him, what is this world) develops in layers, with steady reveals that feel earned. Stakes go from personal to cosmic without losing the thread.

Grammar:

Very clean. Up to chapter 70, there are no major grammar or formatting issues. Dialogue flows well, and tense, punctuation, and structure are all consistent. A few stylistic hiccups here and there, but nothing immersion-breaking. Professional-level polish for a web serial.

Character:

Robb is likable and smart, and he avoids the usual Isekai pitfalls. No edgy loner routine, no clueless idiot moves. His growth feels earned. Side characters are hit-or-miss early on (some are more functional than fully fleshed), but the mentor arcs and rivalries start adding layers by chapter 50+. Emotional stakes are growing steadily with the power level.

Overall:

This is a sharp, engaging LitRPG that knows what it's doing. Robb's infinite-class system opens the door to wild, unexpected power paths but it's handled with a good mix of logic and creativity. There's no "system ex machina", you watch him earn each upgrade. The world is brutal and strange, and the writing keeps things grounded even as the scale escalates to star-breaking, law-crushing insanity.

If you like progression fantasy where the system respects your intelligence, this is worth your time. And if you're into Isekai without the baggage of constant info-dumping or over-personal drama tied to every skill, you'll probably binge this one fast.
