One book that comes to mind in this vein is Orconomics (which is excellent) because it revolves around adventuring guilds, which are a staple I'm seeing crop up in litrpg, anime, and game circles, but it focuses in a lot on the actual economics of what adventurers do from the perspective that it's becoming financialized, the story dwells on it, but I wouldn't be shocked to see that become more frequent. But future developments are hard to predict, from a TTRPG perspective, its been interesting to see Benders from Avatar more consistently creeping into the milieu, among other things.</blockquote>
