The Haley and Nana series by M.C.A. Hogarth is a cozy LitRPG that began with Haley’s Cozy System Armageddon in 2022. The premise is simple and charming: a young woman named Haley plays a video game alongside her grandmother, Nana. Together they tackle system mechanics like leveling up, building a house, crafting potions, and exploring dungeons, all at a relaxed pace.
The six books came out rapidly between 2022 and 2023, each one introducing a new challenge or adventure within the game world. From dealing with a catfish invasion to braving a spooky dungeon, the entries keep things light while developing the relationship between the two main characters. The series wraps up with Haley and the Town of Refuge, which expands the scope of what they have built in-game.
Hogarth wrote this series as a departure from her more complex sci-fi and fantasy work. Readers looking for a gentle, feel-good LitRPG with no grim stakes will appreciate the Haley and Nana books, and the grandmother-granddaughter dynamic gives it a warmth that most entries in the genre lack.
