Status screen
The LitRPG system message: an in-prose interface element showing stats, levels, skills and notifications.
The status screen is LitRPG's signature device: an interface element rendered inside the prose that shows a character's stats, levels, skills and system notifications. It is how the genre keeps growth measurable on the page.
There is no universal formatting standard; the recurring convention is to set system text off from prose using bracketed text, bolding, or styled UI-like boxes, chosen once and kept for the whole work. Consistency of the treatment is itself part of the genre contract.
