How do you have internet but not know what Google is?That just confused me more.
I think they meant the search result that came up confused them more, not that they didn't know what Google was.How do you have internet but not know what Google is?
That makes sense then.I think they meant the search result that came up confused them more, not that they didn't know what Google was.

This is the easiest one. You can take an example from this, man.I can explain by example. Just click the banenrs in my signature, it will answer all your questions!
... all jokes aside, it just means that some forms of "levels" and "skills" exist in the world of the book. Usually, whole character sheets do. Oh, and those skills, or levels, can be upgraded with experience like in RPG.
So, if in traditional fantasy someone would be like "Snek had a problem with procrastinating. While very talented author, he needed more experience before creating true masterpiece"
In LitRPG it would be
"
As snek browsed the forum, instead of writing new chapter, a message appeared at the edge of his vision
Skill level up! Procrastrination 8.9->10!
You can evolve your skill into Potatohood!
New title: Lazy Noodle!
He despaired. He should have been grinding exp to get new level in "Writing", as he needed lvl 6 to get the "masterpiece creation" skill

to be fair, some fandom stuff definition aren't described well by google. most of it are described in a way like reference book for highschooler/college student.Cant use Google, can ya?
That's the definition for the term, nothing to do with 'fandom'. Like Memento Mori, Ubi sunt, coming of age, survival, etc are literary topics within fiction, not something a fandom came up with. Tsundere is a character archetype, not a fandom term.to be fair, some fandom stuff definition aren't described well by google. most of it are described in a way like reference book for highschooler/college student.
I stop asking a fandom definition to google since I search about tsundere definition once, I search at forum, urban dictionary, or even the site itself
on another note though, so everyone here is assuming that every novel with system, like almost every korean webnovel, tensei slime, and kumoko is considered LitRPG?
okay.
There are a couple ways to make a system without making it LitRPG. The obvious one is to make it GameLit. Which is a story about a game or gamelike world that doesn't focus on leveling up skills or classes.assuming that every novel with system
Yup that's what I had felt. Transported into game can be counted one, but what about Warlock of the Magus World. It based on a magical world, but it have a system.to be fair, some fandom stuff definition aren't described well by google. most of it are described in a way like reference book for highschooler/college student.

The natural extension of this is to have a system in a world that isn't gamelike and doesn't provide power through leveling up. In that case, the system is either a way to measure reality instead of a part of reality, or a convenience created by people, like an extension of the stock market.
have you ever hear this old novel series called Goosebumps?Yup that's what I had felt. Transported into game can be counted one, but what about Warlock of the Magus World. It based on a magical world, but it have a system.
Most importantly, one of the important aspect of RPG is the quest. While many of the system novel or novel with Status & skill doesn't have an quest. Does to count as litRPG
Quests aren't as important as you're making them out to be, at least not to the LitRPG genre. They're one of a few features of the Adventure genre, instead.Another thing is quest system.
Despite being more accurate to the title of Role Playing Literature, this is not LitRPG. Goosebumps is considered 'Gamebook' or 'Choose Your Own Adventure' genre.goosebumps -
those are, in my opinion are what i call LitRPG
