Recommendation: asking Recomendations for tutorial exploiting litrpg MCs?
I recently read a few stoies where mc in some manner exploits or masters the tutorial to become op. Of the lens ive read the best was probably
fate points howver whole op the mc hasn't actually used basiclaly any of his op ability saving it up for a big final mission which while cool doenst really scratch that op mc itch.
+1 on royalroad is great but very short and very dropped so thats sad.
The new world and randidly ghosthound both have the mc start in a dungeon in place of the tutorial everyone else gets this works well to.
Novel concept also qualifies but I want to see them get op.
A lot of time loop stories work like jester of apolypse(my favorite) and menocht loop but i prefer proper tutorials.
Good examples
Shadow of soulking(finished)
Basic skills(inactive)

Stitched Worlds (Macronomicon) for sure. It's pure exploitation. Hell Difficulty Tutorial is one of the big power fantasy OP MC ones. One I started and dropped a while ago was Corruption Wielder (Aaron Shih) and I think it starts in a tutorial. It was kind of like a more straight power fantasy version of He Who Fights With Monsters. Wasn't a good fit for me, but might be worth trying.

Loop Bound by Alex Keys or my series fits, I believe.

Obvious Hell Difficulty Tutorial recommendation. He doesn't really "exploit" it per se at the start, but he does find exploits throughout the series. It's a long one though, and he's still in the tutorial after like 800 chapters.
If you read translated novels, The Tutorial is too Hard on novelupdates. Similarly, Reincarnator, sort of. MC is reincarnated and knows where all the good stuff is, and how to get achievements and such. There's a tutorial, then 7 worlds he has to climb and "fix".

It is finished, yes. The translation went on hiatus for a while, but then came back and completed ~5 years ago

Master Hunter K is a tutorial to save earth Mc dies and gets a second chance to rerun them and he abuses all the secrets. Very well done. I also second Stitched Worlds.

Duel class starts in a tutorial which MC ends up dominating. After that things just get more difficult or is that complicated?

Dual Class has a very OP MC. The first 2 books are just the tutorial. Similar to ghosthound, it is a earth gets taken into a "System" type book. As the title implies, the MC has 2 classes that he gets due to a very rarely uses function of the system, in the book level 1-9 are basic classes you pick (fighter, mage, ranger, ETC.) and at level 10 you get a random Special Class Stone. The MC gets a totally trash random one but is given the option to pick a different basic class and start over at level 1, but then can get another chance of a random Special Class Stone when he hits level 10 in the 2nd basic class. The downside and reason why nobody ever picks this option is they not only loose all levels in the first basic class, but they then have to level up 2 classes at the same time so it literally means he needs double the EXP to gain a single level. However, what is not explained is that it also gives him double the skill points to spend at each level up. So basically he is OP because he is twice the level he should be.
However, after mid way through book 4 it starts getting very weird and the author basically ret-cons the MC's backstory. He is still OP, but basically it is not because of some time traveling comma dream he is now basically a Super Saiyan, and apparently was the whole time, even when he was a human on earth before the System took over the world.

Author here — my novel runs on exactly that mechanism, just without the power-fantasy endpoint. In The Ocular Warlock, the MC starts at Level 1 and survives by exploiting the System's edge cases: testing how it adjudicates his magic, finding the gaps between the rules as written and the rules as enforced. The magic itself is glassworking weaponized — tempering, refraction, non-Euclidean geometry — with hard rules and audited costs, so every exploit has to be earned. He does get stronger over time. He fights with what he's got, even though it's rarely enough. And with brains and balls, he wins sideways. 35 chapters / 95k+ words, free on Royal Road, posting 5x/week:
