I started reading progression fantasy on Royal Road earlier this year (a site for posting web serials). Here's my current follow list (excluding stories that are on hiatus):
The Runic Artist — isekai, rune-based crafting, good mix of action and slice-of-life
The Broken Knife — Kobold MC with a dragon companion, dark but compelling read, excellent worldbuilding
Dual Wielding — slow burn, tale of two friends (both very talented), writing is good, action scenes get dark and intense
Legends and Librarians — cozy romance, magical library (not litrpg/progression), plenty of cute creatures
An Otherworldly Scholar — isekai, teacher MC, good worldbuilding, nice romance, great characters, plenty of twists, adventure and danger, especially enjoyed the slice-of-life stuff
Underkeeper — MC is a recent magical academy graduate, good at magic but works as underkeeper (no money/connections to join adventurer groups), got darker than I'm comfortable with, but loved the characters and the demon companion
Immovable Mage — good worldbuilding, characters, plot twists and detailed magic system, clever use of plot events pushes MC towards OP, would suggest to read at least till the end of 2nd arc
Level One God — likeable MC, cool magic stuff I haven't seen before, some bad moments are really dark, good writing
Spire's Spite — criminally underrated with only 100+ followers, mostly been spire climbing so far, good magic system, dark and has some stuff I don't like but overall I've enjoyed it
Blood Curse Academia — overall I enjoyed the combination of action, learning and mystery, but a lot of weird coincidences and stuff didn't make sense
Mana Mirror — loved the concept of mana garden and the myriad customization options, writing and plot was easy to follow, third volume is the best so far
The Maid Is Not Dead — writing felt like traditionally published epic fantasy with progression elements, slow burn but events are starting to escalate
Dark Lord's Last Call — MC's soul is swapped with the dark lord, plans to open a tavern, enjoyable light-hearted read
Orphan — I usually ignore the litrpg math but this one takes it a bit too far! characters all have flaws (though sometimes it becomes a bit too irritating), good worldbuilding and mystery
Rules of Biomancy — 70 year old herbalist MC with a secret past comes across two isekai-ed people in danger of dying and decides to help, enjoying a lot
