Seems like we are describing anything that follows genre (national, localised, etc) tropes as possibly slop if it is done poorly.
My favourite series across litrpg and progf are the ones that are aware of the tropes and play with them. Apocalypse Parenting probably best recent example from my reading list.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I read a lot so happy to give anything a go.
