    Hello,
    I am in a LITRPG mood and have read many already. I'm finding it difficult to find one that doesn't throw in other aspects early on or eventually the LITRPG elements fade to the background. I want an apocalypse and litrpg story in which a clever, solo MC trains hard and smart for the sake of strength. I'm not asking for a masterpiece, though I'd accept it, but just a novel that actually focuses and stays focused on those aspects.

    The "for the sake of strength" and "solo" parts are important. I'm not looking for someone that gets strength to save his family/friends, then sacrifices strength and training to deal with mundane matters. So an Anti-Hero tag might be a good idea as well.

    I can give up the apocalypse tag, but I'd like it.

    Azarinth Healer is an example of what I am looking, but without the apocalypse.

    Thanks for any answers!

    Then I'll give you the one I dropped specifically because the MC was so anti-social. All he does is solo grind, grind, and more grinding. Even when there was obvious opportunity and NEED for the MC to help out the people around him, the author just ignores it. It's a system apocalypse.

    Good choice! Unfortunately, I've read it. Certainly the type I am looking for though.

    EDIT: I didn't know it had sequels!
