Crafter’s Passion by Kris Schnee. Skills in game can be used in ways that really teach you the skills. Legacy Builder by Ember Lane. Crafting and settlement building. Delvers LLC by Blaise Corvin. Not normal litrpg crafting, more like fantasy gadgeteering. Threadbare by Andrew Seiple stars a golem teddy bear who was created via crafting and goes on to create more golems, but again not really normal litrpg crafting.
It's technically more portal fantasy than LitRPG, but David Brin's "The Practice Effect" has a nifty spin on crafting. A scientist working on a machine that can transport things through time and space volunteers to go to the other world they've been studying and finds the machine on the other end, which had mysteriously stopped working, has been dismantled. In the other world, which is similar to ours in most respects, he discovers there's a fundamentally different law of nature - the more you use something, the better it gets. Start with a stick? Whack enough things with it, and it will evolve into a high-quality sword, for example. The aristocracy does stuff like hire people to wear their crudely made clothes, scratchy woolen until the "practice effect" turns them into gorgeous high fashion, and so on.

Sufficiently Advanced Magic the MC's magic is crafting. It does come kind of midstory, but it's an interesting take on power.
