I haven't read a lot of western litrpg, but there's pretty heavy overlap with Japanese light novels. Arguably a good chunk of the tropes and popularity spilled over from Japanese light novels and Chinese progression fantasy/xianxia. In that genre I can recommend these pretty easily:

• Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, which has a guy transported to a fantasy world with powers like a Civilization leader.
• Log Horizon, where a bunch of MMO players kind themselves in a world basically like the game they know but slowly uncover differences.
• Sword Art Online: Progressive, which is basically the original story filled in with the details and character development needed to make it actually pretty good.
• Konosuba, which has a lot of similarities to gamelit progression and such but is very much a comedy.

If you're into web novels, Shadow Slave and Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint are both incredible while scratching that itch. I've only read the manwha but Greatest Estate Developer also lurks around the genre while being quite good.
