Starters by Lissa Price
From Goodreads: Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie. Callie's only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man.
He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie's head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator's grandson. It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime Destinations' plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined. . . .
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
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)
other
The following each only have one book sadly as not many books in the genre have a lot yet, some have second books coming soon.
The Game of Gods by Joshua Kern
The Great Filter by Russell Wilbinski
Advent (Red Mage) by Xander Boyce
Core Punk by Paul Bellow
First Song (Anthem of Infinity) by Blaise Corvin
This next one has three books but it also has a lot of sex, the story is good if you can get past that or enjoy that sort of thing.
Apocalypse Gates by Daniel Schinhofen
This next one is post-apocalyptic but the world ended a long time ago, it has 2 books. I should note that the "system" aspect is new in the book, it didn't happen when the world fell.
Radioactive Evolution by Richard Hummel
Lastly an honorable mention because while you wouldn't think it's post apocalyptic from the description it absolutely is which may be a spoiler but not big one. Again those the world ended a long time ago. It has three books.
Threadbare by Andrew Seiple
Given time i could probably think of a few others but these were just the ones that came to me the quickest and ones I can say having read them are all good. I also avoided the ones you mentioned or other people have already recommended. Hope this helps!
Right now, I have an exclusivity thing to get some promotion through Amazon, and it's only available in Kindle format at the moment. After that is over, I plan on looking into the print copies.
Here is the direct link.

About a year ago, I found a dusty 2mb Compact Flash card that I used for school work, 25 years ago! Believe it or not, there was a story template still on there I started to write for my final year of English full of characters, places, chapter synopsis etc. I never started or finished it and it was forever lost. I have since picked up this old flame where it has now been self published to Amazon, so here is a shameless plug!

Ruins of Majesta and sequel (more to come). Depends on if he's good with snark between the main characters.
Hello Reddit! This is my first post, and it's about the first book I've ever written, so let's get serious!
"It's the 104^th Edition of the Storyteller Festival, and this year its being held in a country known for its sunshine and healthy food. Around the riverside plaza, all the tents are expected to be at full capacity, with famous names and believable tales that will allow the people to drift away from their ordinary, dull, boring lives.
Well, all except for one, of course. The one with the kid that no one has ever heard of, telling the tale no one will believe."
[Colossal Adventure] (http://www.amazon.com/Colossal-Adventure-Shady-Guy-Book-ebook/dp/B00UGJGP7M/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426713180&sr=1-1&keywords=mariana+valente) is the first book of the Shady Guy series, a story that has been evolving with me for years before I could finally give it an appropriate form and write it down for you to see. Even though it's part of a series, this first one is mostly a self-contained story. It's only available in e-book at the time, but I hope to be able to set up a paperback version soon. The price is $3,99.
I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Everyone,
I stumbled across this subreddit a few days ago. It seems like a great site with a lot of relevant information. Loving it so far :)
So, my name is Sarah Dalton. The username is because there's another sarahdalton somewhere and because I had a thing for JD Salinger. I'm a self-published author and writer of the YA dystopian series 'Blemished', a story about a girl labelled genetically inferior in a world of clones. It's quite a bit more complicated than that, but I'll leave it at that for now!

I've also had short stories published in Apex Magazine, PANK magazine, Strange Horizons and the Wyvern Anthology Fangtales.
Work in progress YA Fantasy set in a medieval style world. It's about a girl, a Prince, revenge, and magic.
Starters.
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...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VWLQL6N
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/)
