Reddit reviews Ruins of Majesta: Vol. 1 - Blood and Cupcakes

first, I have to mention Stork Tower which features a girl who kicks ass in both game and the real world with the help of her AI (ok, and a lot of luck)

There is one other litrpg that comes to mind, Ruins of Majesta about a girl genius trapped in a litrpg ("M.I.T. calls her a genius, her mother calls her Cupcake, her buddies call her Princess Cuddle Fluff and she’s here to kick butt and blow stuff up."), but it is very intentionally written to be kid friendly if that bothers you

since most of the litrpg side (Siphon, Metaworld Chronicles, etc) has already been covered, I'll give a few non-litrpg recommendations that I think might scratch that itch.

available on KU

• On Silver Wings by Evan Currie - mil scifi of a girl and her suit. I wasn't sure after the first book, but it just got better and better.
  
• Alexis Carew series by J A Sutherland - space opera, took a bit to accept it's (very) forced combat system with literal sails and running out cannons in space
  
• Kurtherian Gambit series by Michael Anderle - a bit scifantasyish, story of a girl who becomes the most OP vampire of all time. An absolutely massive world with a huge series and tons of side-series
  
• Ell Donsaii - the very definition of Mary Sue who has both a freakishly amazing body (best gymnast of all time) and mind (invents a new scifi breakthrough every book)
  
  not on KU but should be available through your library (and if they don't have it, they should be able to get it through InterLibrary Loan if you request it)
  
  
• Fury series by David Weber - another mil scifi with just a touch of fantasy
  
• Honor Harrington series by David Weber - one of the originals and still one of the best in the modern space opera genre, first 2 books are free
  
• Kris Longknife series by Mike Shepherd - another space opera
  
• Theirs Not to Reason Why by Jean Johnson - combines super physique (high grav planet) with the most OP foresight gift of all time for kickass adventures
  
  
  other
  
  
• I want to give a special shoutout to Schooled in Magic by Nuttall - progression and portal fantasy of a girl going to magic school and kicking butt, but unfortunately not on KU and not available through your library, so . . .
  
• L S Dell has a couple (unfinished) series that are semi-litrpg and free on the web. Taint is a sort of Tower Climbing book and Trials features an old ugly guy who gets a chance to be reincarnated as a hero on another world and chooses to be a female with max charisma

Ruins of Majesta and sequel (more to come). Depends on if he's good with snark between the main characters.

I have a couple that fall under this category:

Level Up - the world breaks and becomes a video game. This is more satirical and riffs on a lot of gaming tropes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079JFM67F

Grow Up - this one is closer to GameLit. A teenager finds himself kidnapped by aliens to fight in intergalactic legal battles using giant mechs. An alien is left on earth in his place and does his best to blend in...

A couple of other people have already mentioned Blood and Cupcakes (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CRPGGCX), which also has a sequel (Creatures and cupcakes) which is great for YA.

Crystal Shards is also pretty YA friendly and there are four book in the series. The first book is Dodge Tank (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078LFBVB3/)
