Vainqueur the Dragon
2019 · Maxime J. Durand · 450 pages · LitRPG / Comedy
Vainqueur the Dragon is the LitRPG genre laughing at itself through the mouth of a sixty-foot dragon who thinks experience points are a form of tribute. Maxime J. Durand wrote the satire that LitRPG needed, wrapped it around strong character work, and somehow maintained both the comedy and the plot integrity across four books without a single plothole. If the genre's usual self-seriousness has worn you down, this is the cure.
