I was just curious about the book after hearing about it on Off Topic today so I googled "Jeremy Dooley Go Nitro" and well, here we are... I'm so sorry /u/jerem6401
Here's a link to his book, published 12 years later!
Let's ask Dave R.
In all seriousness, there's a pretty decent review on the UK Amazon page for the book. (it's the first one)
So I know everyone's mentioned comics or mangas but there's a book series I like that has something similar going on. Sometimes the villain is only the villain bc heroes are too constrained to do the right thing or make the right choice.

they haven't gone anywhere, it's just that there are a ton more western authors now that sort of drown them out
also when there was a limited supply of litrpg, it was more profitable to translate Russian works. Now that we're practically drowning in choices, the economics of translation are pretty brutal for all but the biggest authors
Here are some relatively recent Russian releases (if I missed some, sorry)

I really enjoyed "Lair for Rent" by Skylar Grant. https://www.amazon.com/Lair-Rent-Superhero-Dungeon-Core-ebook/dp/B07WP7S5DN?
You might like HERO HUNTER . It’s a litRPG about an ex-hero armed with a suit of power armor that hunts down other superheroes. Stats are presented through an A.I. in his suit.
Sounds interesting. In the queue!
Oh, and AU link: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07WH3JQLK
John Varley's Titan trilogy was pretty fun. Basically, a humongous alien in the shape of a spinning hollow toroid who calls herself "Gaea" IS the ecosystem with lots of different lifeforms living inside her. It's a fantastic series.

John Varley is one my favorite authors I keep coming back to him time and again.
The following are my favorites. He also has a nice website [Varley.net](http://Varley.net "Varley.net") . You can actually get a decent feel for who he is on the site. He puts up what he wants and the hell with what anyone thinks. I think thats why I like him. lol
Mammoth is on my too be read list. I have it just not gotten to it.

Remember to read the actual series Dire's from, the Dire Saga, even though Dire Worm was written first. There's only 6 books, and it looks the author won't write more. :(
Here is a bunch more reviews, not just joke ones.
He wrote and self published a sci-fi book called Go Nitro.
https://www.amazon.com/Go-Nitro-Rise-Blades-1/dp/1548969087
I've been reading a lot this past week, after some time mostly doing other things...
Lair for Rent by Skyler Grant. Not bad, read if you want more in the Laboratory/Emma-verse.
Mastermind by Steve Kelliher. Great first litterpug, made me add his fantasy series to my backlog of books to read.
Hell's Ascendant by Benjamin Medrano. Great finish to another trilogy. Not litterpug, though Sting and Song qualifies. I recommend reading all of his books.
Orc Pirate by Simon Archer. Not litterpug, read it because I enjoyed Forger of Worlds. Enjoyable, though it is a harem power fantasy.
Tree Guardian by Andrew Karevik. Pretty good, second dungeon core novel following a seed of Yggdrasil.
Skyflare by Aaron Oster. Finally got around to this, it's alright, third book in the Supermage series.
Buryoku by Aaron Oster. Enjoyable cultivation novel, first in a new series. We'll see how it goes.
Manifest by Cody Whitfill. Very enjoyable, some interesting differences from similar novels. Looking forward to the next book.
Last but not least, I'm currently reading Gamer for Love by Daniel Schinhofen. A couple of the Alpha World books were not that enjoyable for me, but it seems like he's back on track and finishing off the series well with this one. I'm glad to see another series end.
Try Varley's Gaea series. I reread it recently, it holds up pretty well.
https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Gaea-John-Varley/dp/0441813046
Not sure what age range you're interested in but if your inner child enjoys super heroes I heavily recommend Confessions of a D List Supervillain. It's a story for adults with childish fun, the protagonist is a failed villain trying to save a world ruined by the heroes; there's plenty of underdog action and though I haven't read the sequels, they exist too.
https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-D-List-Supervillain-Jim-Bernheimer-ebook/dp/B004WE0D3E
The Titan series by John Varley. Can't get much tougher than Cirocco Jones.
*Except for her side-kick Gabby.
How about a novel heavily inspired by comic books? Confessions of a D-List Supervillain might be up your alley.
I've read a couple.
Mastermind: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07WH3JQLK

Have you considered the LitRPG movement coming out of Russia?
It's less
illegallyfreely available than you might be used to, but the first volumes of all of those are free on Kindle Unlimited, which is also free for 30 days.The Human Chronicles by T.R. Harris is about as HFY as you can get
At least one of my favorite HFY authors got his story published so i have to link it.. its required!
Supper Villainy and other poor career choices!
I purchased 2 copies of it when he first posted it i loan them out alllll the time :P
While it feels like free stories should just be a thing, it is important to realize that it isn't and people don't usually write/publish/translate a book for free. Buy the book if you can. Also, I recommend Sector 8 (Perimeter Defense Book 1) to anybody that likes science fiction space battles.
The Phantom Server series and the Perimeter Defense series are both Space Opera LitRPG.
Nothing is as good as worm, but these have strong female protaganist, are super genre, novels. I enjoyed them. I don't know how to rate these on a "more realistic" scale, and they are all very different - but cheap on kindle and you might enjoy.

The way of the shaman
Galactagon
There's a lot of great authors publishing independently(self and small press) now, but it can be hard to pick the ones you'll enjoy out of the flood of new releases on Amazon. I'll link to a few of the authors and books I've enjoyed.
Super hero novels
The Blackjack novels by Ben Bequer are fun.
I also enjoyed Confessions of a D-List Supervillian by Jim Bernheimer. They share similar themes of a super-villain forced out of their comfort zone.
Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain by Richard Roberts is the start of a great young adult series about the daughter of super heroes charting her own path.
Fantasy and SF
Anything by Andrea K Höst is great. The Touchstone series is great comfort reading about a young woman who walks around a corner and ends up in another world. It's the most SF of her works.
Terry Mancours' Spellmonger series is a fun fantasy about a mage who retires to the backwoods but ends up in the center of a continent spanning conflict. It spends a lot of time on the details of living in a fantasy world, but there's plenty of action too.
John Conroe's Demon Accords is a contemporary fantasy about a cop turned holy warrior. Fun action/fantasy, a couple of the books focus on side characters for a change of pace.
Jack L. Knapp has a couple enjoyable SF series. I'm partial to his New Frontiers series about the rediscovery of a space drive technology and humanities expansion in to the solar system.
Military SF
Marko Kloos is great as mentioned by others.
Christopher Nutall has a ton of books, both SF and fantasy(I tend to prefer his fantasy).
Also The Human Chronicles by TR Harris on Amazon.com
The author of DIRE: Worm is publishing a series about DIRE's history. The first book.
Phantom Server Trilogy its pretty good. i don't to give spoilers out. i give it a 8 out of 10.
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula LeGuin
Anything by Joanna Russ
Floating Worlds and Great Maria by Cecelia Holland
The Shattered Chain by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Titan by John Varley
Ammonite by Nicola Griffith
Walk to the End of the World by Suzy McKee Charnas
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
Downbelow Station by C.J. Cherryh
Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter by Simone de Beauvoir
There are a number of Sci-Fi Lit-RPG stories out there. Two of my favorites are
The Game -- www.thegam3.com Aliens contact earth, turns out the galaxy is run based on RPG rules. The MC builds his own AI, and joins the game to try and carve a place for himself among the stars.
Phantom Server Trilogy MC receive an invite to try a new hardcore vr game far from earth.
Perimeter Defense Series
​
For more traditional fiction
Troy Rising by John Ringo - A grocery store clerk leverages a black market human delicacy to forcibly uplift Earth. Lots of progression of Tech, crazy ideas, and space battles.

I currently look here: amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca, amazon.com.au, amazon.in, amazon.com.mx, amazon.de, amazon.it, amazon.es, amazon.com.br, amazon.nl, amazon.co.jp, amazon.fr, if you would like your local version of Amazon adding please contact my creator.
Interesting. The opening setup is almost a duplicate of Skyler Grant's The Laboratory, except the main character isn't a GLaDOS expy.
I think Seiple is likely to do a better job with the story tho, given how well Dire and Threadbare turned out; Emma kinda falls flat after the second book.
I would like to mention a great book about D-list super villains:
Confessions of a D-list super villain
I messed up: https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-D-List-Supervillain-Jim-Bernheimer-ebook/dp/B004WE0D3E
The books are Dire Born and Dire Seed.
They're not free, but they're worth the price I think. (Kindle versions are both currently $5)
I'll need to look those up. Also fun is The Human Chronicles by T.R. Harris. I really like Part I, but Part II is too God Mode Sue for me.
The SF writer John Varley wrote a series of 3 books -- Titan, Wizard, and Demon -- that progressively better.
http://www.amazon.com/Titan-Gaea-John-Varley/dp/0441813046
You should try some of the older, shorter SF adventure classics. Here are a few links to get you started. I can vouch personally that all of these are smart, fun and well-written.
Edit: the best place to get recommendations of this nature is probably r/PrintSF.
I haven't found anything quite like Mother of Learning but it happens to be one of my favorites since it hits everything I like in a book. One of my favorite aspects of MoL is how the main character progressively learns new things and get stronger. This is demonstrated a lot in the litRPG genre (which has a lot of ties with video game RPG style leveling up) so I think any fan of Mother of Learning would like litRPG.
Here are some good litrpg books on kindle:
Confessions of a D-list Supervillian by Jim Bernheimer, which exactly what it sounds like and is great.
Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw follows an npc in an mmorpg that has gained sentience. My girlfriend hated this book because I kept waking her up with my laughing.
Bad Humors by Aaron Wright is a phenomenal novella that is kind of a cross between SF, fantasy, and a Lovecraftian Mythos.
Funny you should ask. I'm a novelist in this genre as well, and I've done a bit of research on the market. As you might imagine, this is a fairly niche space. I'd probably be making more money if I wrote vampire romances, but you gotta write what you love, right?
Anyhow, the advice about the Fantasy>Superheroes category on Amazon is real good. There are a lot of books directly tied to licensed properties, like DC and Marvel characters, but I can't tell you much about those since I work in my own universe. There are also excellent lists on GoodReads. Here are some of the examples I used to figure out my keywords and categories (I haven't read any of these yet, but they're on my list):
Soon I will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman. I hear this is awesome.
Confessions of a D-List Supervillain by Jim Bernheimer.
Good Intentions: A Supervillain Story by Michel Crider.
Meta by Tom Reynolds.
The Second Super by Logan Rutherford.
ULTRA (The Last Hero Book 1) by Matt Blake.
And, I hope this isn't a violation of the self-promotion rules (if it is, please let me know and I'll edit this out), but I can't help but add my own novel, The Hero Beat!
Check out the Human Chronicles Saga
In the universe, humans are the strongest race
Disgardium series by Dan Sugralinov. MC is invulnerable but whenever he uses his power he starts to rot :) A balanced OP is the best one -

This exists, and I'm through book 6's audiobook, but I can't say it's exactly good. It's readable and fits what you want, though. The entire premise is about upgrading things/people/everything, and every book is basically the next tier of struggle. The main character is an AI like GLaDOS (from Portal), and follows her and those she manages to capture/test/befriend.
If you want some books where humans are super awesome, you can check out The Human Chronicles, or the Undying Mercenaries series. Both book series are Earth/Humans against alien antagonists. They are really good, defiantly worth a read.
[Coiling Dragon]
[Death March]
[The Station Core]
[Changing Faces]
[The Way of the Shaman]
[Project Daily Grind]
try Dire:Born. It's a reasonably short novella about someone with no memories, a bit of resources and dumped into superhero land.
The Mirror World series by Alexei Osadchuk is pretty good. It is one of the better written series I have come across since it doesn't focus too hard on the hard numbers of playing an MMO and utilizes the game as more of a vehicle for the plot. While the main character stumbles his way into a unique race and class the plot doesn't feel too grandiose for the genre beyond that and the characters are generally well written even though there is a couple of cringe worthy lines of dialogue here and there.
Having read both Dungeon Born and Awaken Online I would place it higher on my personal preferences. This is mostly due to the fact that I prefer my LitRPGs to be more on the Sci-Fi side of the spectrum and that the writing is on par with Dungeon Born but better than Awaken, IMO.
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.

Confessions of a D-List Supervillain by Jim Bernheimer. Excellent read. Story about a 3rd rate supervillain that makes a turnaround in his life. Good but not over the top humor, meant for those that are familiar with comic book superheros (not necessary to know specific heroes, just their archetypes) but can be read by anyone really.
Illegal Aliens by Nick Pollotta and Phil Foglio. Very humorous story about first contact with aliens. This was originally written/published in '89, so a little dated but not jarringly so.
Most everything by A. Lee Martinez is humor. I really enjoyed The Automatic Detictive and Gil's All Fright Diner.
A book for my honeybee!
Hey! I just published a Sci-Fi adventure story about a group of teens with superpowers fighting aliens in an attempt to save the world. It features a diverse cast of characters, some deep topics, and some fun/funny dialogue along with a ton of action. Would mean a ton if you guys checked it out and posted some reviews along with sharing it with people you know if you enjoy it!
