Top Reddit reviews mentioning Science Fiction TV, Movie & Game Tie-In eBooks:
Empires of Eve Vol 1 (Vol 2 coming Nov/Dec). If you want a physical copy more are on the way (again, Nov/Dec).
Extremely well sourced, highly detailed book covering some of the most historically impactful events from a very neutral perspective. Gorgeous artwork.
Only UK version right now is the Kindle version here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Empires-EVE-History-Great-Online-ebook/dp/B01DONPR0M/
By the way, it's a fantastic book. It covers EVE empires from launch through till around 2009 and goes quite in-depth whilst still offering plenty of explanations for people unfamiliar with the game. Interviews, sov maps, fun tidbits and all!
EDIT: This is not the Mittani's failed book (looking at you, random amazon reviewer). This is a previous book which was kickstarted for $95,000 a while ago.
That's great! All my books happen to be free too! You can find them on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Ascend-Online-Luke-Chmilenko-ebook/dp/B01M01ET8E
It'll say that the book costs $6 there, but that's because I'm running a sale for the next forever. During this sale each book comes with a sense of pride and accomplishment for being able to help an author eat and warm his house this winter.
I hope you take advantage of it! This sale will only last until the end of time!
Have you read Empires of Eve?
It's an entire book about the rise and fall of Eve's Corporations and all the politics, espionage and backstabbing that accompanies their conflicts.
Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer
Use Shirtaloon's He Who Fights With Monsters as your case study.
He spent 20 months writing his first volume offline (roughly 350k words) then started posting on RoyalRoad with a large backlog for patreon. After he'd written and posted roughly one million words of content for free he published to Amazon through Atheon.
Obviously, he put a ton of work in and nearly two years of his life before even putting the story up for free, but he's been very successful now.
It's available on Amazon Kindle which you can read on a smart phone or even your computer.
Before doing that, read Cixin Liu's famous trilogy to see why there's a good chance of it going horribly wrong. (First two books anyway, by then you'll have the point.)
Ascend online gets a big recommendation from me. It is well written, has a good plot, great execution of RPG elements, and cool village building theme which I like.
And more importantly, Ascend Online is free on promotion on Amazon Kindle for a few days right now so even if you aren't going to read it yet, I would go and snag it before it goes back to normal price. The Audiobook becomes discounted heavily after owning the kindle version! https://www.amazon.com/Ascend-Online-Luke-Chmilenko-ebook/dp/B01M01ET8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504215682&sr=8-1&keywords=ascend+online
Luke Daniels narrates the audiobook for Ascend Online and he is a big name A-List narrator. He is also the narrator who did all the hilarious voices in the extremely popular comedy book "Off to be the Wizard" by Scott Meyer.
When you say "entire series" are you talking about Delve or Delvers LLC? Both are good, but very different.
I think you want /r/TrekBooks
The only Trek book that I've read and enjoyed enough to remember anything about it is A Stitch in Time by Andrew Robinson, fleshing out his DS9 character, Garak.
I'll add a couple more recommendations to this thread:
Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer: A LitRPG Adventure by Benjamin Kerei. The protagonist has a history before arriving in a new world, and it shapes his decisions as he tries his hardest to avoid his fated profession of farmer.
Threadbare by Andrew Sieple. I recommend this novel a lot, as it's one my favorites in the genre. The protagonist is a teddy bear golem, but the adventure he goes on is anything but childish. Seriously, this is great LitRPG, and worth the read.
Oh Great, I Was Reincarnated as a Farmer So far 2 books in the series, both great reads.
While I do appreciate good story - I honestly would be happy if there was no "main stories" in MMOs or at least much less focus on them. Most of them are pretty awful, and even the few good ones are still deficient because they basically have limited amount of choices or no choices at all, same goes for limited amount of story-related NPCs, and the story will be useless once you experience all of it - there's no reason to replay through it ever again unless you suffer from amnesia (and most people do not have amnesia).
The best stories are always the ones that players themselves create through interaction with other players, and well-designed games give players plenty of tools to create such stories and I wish more games would provide such tools for players instead of abusing the dated, lazy, boring "here's another small bit of linear story you must go through in our annual 2-year expansion" system.
Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer: A LitRPG Adventure: (Unorthodox Farming) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094CSB51K/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_8N366624PM85K1Z7XH3S
The second book in the series just came out, and it's quite fun. Comedic but with good worldbuilding.
So just to follow up, I just purchased The Three Body Problem from Amazon (again, Kindle sale only, otherwise I would've grabbed from Kobo. Grr...) and imported it into Calibre using the same method. When I imported it, it initially just shows author and ID on the right-hand side, but when I went to edit the metadata individually, I saw that it had populated the isbn and publisher, as well.
(Was going to attach screenshots but imgur seems to be down ATM)
If you like that idea, you will also like this. Both are quite good. In the case of this second link, the MC isekais to an RPG universe, and is excited about it, only to learn that he has gotten the main class of "farmer," and must get to level 100 before he can do the fun stuff. He wants none of that, and shenanigans ensue.
This one isn't as much slice of life as it sounds (more like involuntary slice of life), and instead involves the MC exploiting the Eff out of things on his way to having the life he really wants.
Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer might fit that bill, the MC is assigned the farmer class, and cannot gain experience by traditional monster hunting, so comes up with... non-traditional methods of farming (involving lots of crafting) to exploit the system.
It's better than 95% of the Kindle Unlimited LitRPG and Urban Fantasy stuff. It isn't as well written as popular Fantasy authors, like Sanderson, Martin, Abercrombie, McClellan, etc. But I would consider it on the level of Dungeon Crawler Carl.
It technically isn't a game, but the mechanics work the same and it definitely falls under LitRPG. It has problems here and there, but far better than most LitRPG I've read. The characters feel distinct, there aren't typos or missed editing, 'I' and 'me' is usually used correctly, unlike most Kindle Unlimited books. The mechanics are interesting (kind of similar to Will Wight's Cradle, I wouldn't be surprised if it took inspiration) and it's an interesting premise, but the mechanics all still work like a game, HUD, etc.
Several months ago someone rec'd Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer. I'm going to re-rec it now.
The MC gets isekai'd into a LitRPG world, but gets stuck as a farmer and is desperate to get into any other class; however, he can only choose a new class upon reaching level 100, which is uncommon to do in a lifetime.
The story does a great job building a world where incarnates from other worlds are common and exploitationists are a known class (So much of the low hanging fruit has been picked) while still giving room (and reasonable explanation) for the Main Character to find new exploits.
The worldbuilding balances between "Exactly as horrid as a physics-enforced monarchy and grindfest would be" and "Hey cool, a world that's a game", with a lot of cool little details. Killing a member of your own species makes you go feral, so while Humans have little warfare, inter-species cooperation is much harder. Humans get magic from farming as a base, while Orcs get it from fighting, and also spend the the earliest parts of their life as non-sentient and bloodlusted and have to level before they're consciousness enough to stop fighting and join proper Orc society; There's thus a clear conflict of interest in geopolitical relations.
"Awaken Online" does this. The author supplies a nice timeline and read order chart on all his book's web pages in Amazon's Kindle store. Here is a to his link first book.
Bit late, but have you tried "Oh, Great! I was Reincarnated as a Farmer". The humor felt similar to Drew Hayes's books, and it's a LitRPG like NPC's.
I would recommend strongly "He who fights with monsters". I both it because my subscription was expiring, and it was... long. It litRPG, so it's basically a fantasy book, but the characters have stats and skills like in games. It doesn't affect the plot that much... maybe makes it a little growth-oriented (leveling) up. It's actually a really good book, disguised as trivial fun.
Yes, what you listed is a part of that, including ability for people to design and share their own dungeons. But also something that happened in EVE Online - even when I did not play it, I still followed it by reading official forums (back when they were still active) and subreddit (when it became more active than official forums), reading all the stories that players posted of their encounters with other players, as well as following drama and fighting between large alliances. And it was so significant in that game that someone actually wrote a history book about it:

This is purely user-generated content and is something I've never seen in any other MMORPG (not to such extent).

If you have time and are into reading stuffs try Empires of EVE
You will see that, unfortunately, dishonesty is a very important part of this game.
This is a sandbox game and anything goes. Good luck and have fun. People usually find the niche in a few months of EVE, provided that they find a good group of people to play with.
