Exactly as in the title, I'm asking recommendations of SH stories you have read that are so well written, that a new author could take it as inspiration.

(I don't know if I will come out as rude but.. pls no spam or self promotion.)

Thanks for the replies!!

One personal-disliked flaw is the later on "childhood friend" character
where author decided
(1) to make her avatar be a HUGE MELON BADONKERS loli, like the unpopular magician manga series that had 2 of them
(2) the sudden serious twist "i will be serious for one sec, in fact i got mental issues and i know that, so i gathered my courage and decided to go a few days to hospital and wanted to inform you beforehand, anyway i will be afk for a while, cya logging off" from her
(3) SHE ISNT ADDED TO THE HAREM DESPITE ALL OTHER WOMEN "hey MC ? now that im better, i found out that in fact im not in love with you but just guilt-liking you bc of what happened in the past(accident)" and MC being fine bc "i got you girls to comfort me, and didnt had romantic feelings for her"
Not trying to call author old, but wtf with all "famous" old authors (JP in particular, but even old CNs had TON of MCs too doing it) disliking childhood friend romance and always making her a loser ? Now even a EN one did that too. Wtf did they do to them ? Do they have a one so they write one failing ? Just like that people with sisters will dislike incest-sister doujins ?
And the thing is, is how weird it felt that "she isnt added in" in the harem. I mean, not to say the series is a gacha game, but MC basically COLLECT all the pretty heroines, and it was NICELY DONE. But then there is this childhood girl that pop up, and even spam she loves MC. Only to be "nevermind, i was mistaken" !?????? Bruh wtf.
Also now i think about it, the badonkers, her being cringe "nyanya kawai-desu" "notice me senpai" was probably intentional so readers dont like her and be prepared she isnt "added" to harem.


Make Childhoodfriend romance GREAT AGAIN.
Reject Dino Girl/Transfer student, return to childhood friend : r/Animemes
Childhood friend before and after 10 years (@kuma_yasuhisa) :  r/wholesomeanimemes
I can't believe Ranma fumbled this one so bad : r/Animemes

This is the best war story on this site, too bad the author disappeared.

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.
