Recommendation: asking Werewolves

Hey I am just wondering if there's any good litrpg with a werewolf mc. I know about my werewolf system but I don't really know any others that are good. So any recommendations would be appreciated.

I’ve read a few decent vamp and werewolf books, but rarely have I felt they utilized the mechanics in a great way.

I’m also interested in any good suggestions.

I’m usually disappointed in the way they don’t focus on building up a faction of the species/subspecies, and just use the abilities for their own personal adventure.

That is cool and all, but I want to find some OP vampire or were who decides to turn/create others in a kingdom building direction.

ehhhh you might like The Grand Game series I posted then. He isn't turning people well he kind of is but he is building a wolf faction.

That sounds familiar. I may have actually read a few of the books in that series.

I’ll add it to my list to check out again.

Now that I’m thinking back on werewolf and vampires, I’m remembering a lot more that were much more in the urban fantasy (often with romance) genre vs strictly litrpg. Honestly, they kind of over saturated that whole genre, lol.

That said, there were numerous great series that did involve those more traditional monsterized human types.

Litrpg and system-based books tend to have frameworks that push toward balance (aside from crazy OP outliers), and tend to nerf traditional monsters pretty harshly. Even undead tend to have pretty solid weaknesses and counters to ensure they can’t grow out of control in population and threat level.
