Agree with /u/Tur4 and /u/Salaris on their suggestions.
LitRPG I recommend are the following:
Check out the way of the shaman series. I think it's probably closest to what you are looking for.

I am specifically thinking of My Path to Magic and The Road to Magic ( Way of the Demon). There are probably others as well.
Edit: The Way of the Shaman may or may not be Russian in origin.
Here are some good litrpg books on kindle for newbies to the genre:
The Land is pretty ok, you just have to get past A.K.'s writing idiosyncrasies. Everybody Loves Large Chest is an online serial. It's very gory, weird, and weirdly sexual. Ascend online is a great fantasy mmorpg. Really well written. Awaken online is very good book from the perspective of the "villain". Dark. Survival quest is pretty good Russian translated litrpg. Patch 17 is from a guy stuck in a mmorpg hell. Dragon's wrath is kind of just a town building litrpg, but is enjoyable enough. Unbound deathlord is pretty good dark book about the underdark, or whatever he calls it in that book.
Well , no so far fetched now the world of Way of the Shaman
If you haven’t read any of the Russian LITRPG, I’ve found I really enjoy them in Audible. Like many, Way of the Shaman was my entry-level but recently I’ve loved the Disgardium series and the Npc Path series.

There's quite a few russian litrpg authors. They usually sell their translations on amazon, you can find pirated epubs though. The last series I read was "Way of the Shaman"
You said you weren't looking for fiction, but other people might come to your thread looking for those kinds of suggestions, so sorry to leave you hanging, but I'll put a few out there, because I've enjoyed this genre.
Opening Moves Aliens have taken over and ostensibly done away with war, but the main character finds out the stakes in the aliens' "Game" may be just as high.
Solarversia We've got a sort of reality show VR game where a hundred million players duke it out over the course of a year to win a big prize. It's easy to get sucked into this one as a gamer, because the author really captures this sens of video game action. There's pseudo-ai personality modeling based on social media, and even a fanatical AI doomsday cult.
Survival Quest Don't let the name turn you off here. In this trilogy the biggest MMO has become so big that prisoners are actually sentenced to server their time in VR capsules mining resources for paying non-prisoner characters. Where standard players get to choose their class and have access to outside materials like guides and wikis, the protagonist here (who's unjustly charged, of course!) gets his class selected for him, and must learn the nuances to this underplayed Shaman class, as well as figure out how to earn respect, while simultaneously earning his way out of prison. The third book just came out on the 10th, and I wouldn't have found out about it if not for writing this, so thanks! And enjoy!
You might enjoy the LitRPG novels or Rational fiction. Try Play to Live, Survival Quest or Two Year Emperor.
