Define "some smut" - two of mine (Between Worlds, Strange Awakening) dance around "smut" without ever, IMO, really diving into it...

Well the optimal amount of smut is 1-3 scens a book IMO.

Well, while I don't have any smut per say, that's because I fade to black.

I think you will find Mordecai to be a very level headed and confident MMC, partly because this kicks off with a power reset and his personality is still that of a demi-immortal who has had the time to chill (ignoring the incident that got him into this situation, but to be fair, the provocation was extreme).

He shares the spotlight with two FMCs, and the three of them form a balanced relationship where the two women are romantically involved as well. So it is clear that there are plenty of sexy times involved, but it's all healthy and playful stuff (you usually get the idea of what sort of play is going to happen before the fade out).

I heavily revised my early chapters recently and I am happy with the improvements to how things get started, so I am eager to share.

It's a pretty tall order.

My story is about a peasant orphan who's sent off to war. There's action, suspense, political intrigue, love, betrayal, deeply felt emotions, pain, loss, shock, joy, and gut-wrenching choices between bad and worse. Ultimately, it will be a profound victory for truth, but that day is not today.

While it's not 'smut,' I don't fade-to-black. I don't hold back, and no, I don't censor the good stuff. The way I see it, if the audience can handle a guy getting his throat ripped out and blood pouring all over the grass, they can handle MC ramming his tongue into his gf's [this is a public forum].

Here it is: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/967246/a-place-to-bloom/

Currently 50 chapters spanning over 209,000 words over the past 18 months, with zero AI assistance [except the cover art bc I can't draw], and forward plot elements will keep this story going for years.

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.
