I'm playing my 230th gamebook right now. My ratings and views about those we have both played (maybe 35-40 books) differ quite substantially, so I doubt that my favourites would necessarily appeal to you. However, given that you liked Legendary Kingdoms, I would suggest the Steam Highwayman series. And maybe Fabled Lands (the same authors as Vulcanverse, but more of a traditional fantasy setting and less daunting to play). I note that you have not rated the FF books very highly, but the Sorcery! spint-off series is regarded by many as among the best. Beyond these, try Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland or Dracula: Curse of the Vampire by Jonathan Green, or any of the Cluster of Echoes series by Victoria Hancox.

How do quadrupeds climb ladders?

I think it was called GURPS Gulliver?... which had a lot of 'how to build animals with GURPS statblocks' (Plus some information on the weirdness of very small and very large scales and how you might want to represent that in GURPS) (and a spell list based on folklore for that species based on one of the options in Thaumatology) based on the species of animal the PC wanted to play, so would have involved coming up with a new species for each player. The one who got back to me picked ferret,
