I think this series is very underrated. It has an element of Lit Rpg but it's a small part of the story. It actually gets left out for a couple books because of reasons. It's something the character has but doesn't rely on.
Sorry about that it is Dragon Heart series, first book is Stone Will
You can find it on Amazon (Kindle): https://www.amazon.ca/Dragon-Heart-Stone-Will-LitRPG-ebook/dp/B07NKGQ7RJ/ref=sr\_1\_4?dchild=1&keywords=Dragon+Heart+book+1&qid=1631117932&sr=8-4
Cradle definitely has a unique taste to it that I havnt found anything similiar to. But i would recommend the Dragon Heart series if you enjoy the wuxia/xanxania style. It has a bit more of an epic style but still pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Heart-Stone-Will-LitRPG-ebook/dp/B07NKGQ7RJ

dragon heart on amazon kindle unlimited
I'm an audio book only reader but I have been enjoying dragon heart by kirill klevanski. It is Russian originally but been translated to English been enjoying that. Another one I liked was divine dungeon. It is about dungeon building so slightly different from normal progression fantasy
I googled and found a link on amazon.

I"m always looking for a good kindle unlimited read so I'll check it out. Can you provide a little more information about what the book is about? The amazon page doesn't have much of a description of the book. Thanks.
He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic.
He only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life.
What lies ahead?
He dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him.
The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away.
They took the Kingdom, they took his own destiny.
But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back.
Even if the army opposes him, his sword won't waver.
Even if the Emperor sends the legions, his step won't falter.
Even if demons and gods, heroes and enemies alike are to unite against him, he won't bend to their will. His own will is iron itself, unstoppable.
His name is Hadjar and he heeds the call of the dragon heart within him.

​
I also assume you cant find it in novelupdates because that it's being translated from Russian.
​
the very base of the storyline is somewhat similar to the first 5 books of coiling dragon, however, it doesn't go off base like coiling dragon did with Linley just becoming one of the strongest in Yulan, rather Hadjar (the main character) continues his adventure to new places with stronger opponents.
​
its been my number one book for ages now (and i consider my self to be a huge book worm) so i hope you get to read it.
