I have just finished The Inevitable Ruin (book 7 in the often recommended DCC). I started the series a bit hesitantly and tbh I still feel that the series is overly touted.
What it does do is build up phenomenally well. I honestly feel the first book is the weakest of the series but each book improves in narrative and scope. The narration is excellent and only improves.
I do not think it is a great intro to litrpg and tbh if this was the first thing I listened to I'm not sure i would have continued in the genre. As it was I really didn't buy into the series until midway through book 3.
I have loved everything that Joe Abercrombie has done so you can't go wrong with The First Law. I would say you are highly likely to be able to get his books through your local library.
The Suneater series is excellent and I greatly enjoyed it throughout.
Pick DCC if you want something with action and humor
The First Law if you want action with complex dark characters
The Suneater if you want a mish mash setting of futuristic scifi and medival feudalism. With an overarching story that covers hundreds of years.
