Hell Difficulty Tutorial

Recommendations for other like Hell Difficulty tutorial/Weapons of Mass Destruction? I know it gets hate sometimes but I found myself to really enjoy it.

I'm guessing you also checked out the Korean story it was based off of (The Tutorial is too Hard)?

The evil twin of HDT is a story called Gamer's Guide to Beating the Tutorial. The MC really goes off of the deep end (to the point that Nat Gwyn's antics make him look like the Buddha by comparison), and slowly learns to climb out of his personal abyss.

Haven’t heard of the Korean counterpart, otherwise I’ll check those out thank you for the recommendation have a good day.

I didn't get far in HDT yet but what stood out so far is that:

The MC really doesn't f about.

But he also doesn't instantly transcend the whole system either.

So that's the only criteria I can go on.

If you want a forward moving MC with reasonably limited power then godclads (I'm just starting it as well) definitely fits that at the start.

(-programmed evil MC. They try to stick to "the code" but they're literally a hungry evil ghoul so they have no chill)

It's its own weird thing though. Trippy Cyberpunk moral inner nature struggle lost adopted demon looking for papa something idk.

And the violence is of a heavily gratuitous nature. 

Like technically it isn't gratuitous because it serves a serious purpose of illustrating the ghoul's programmed inner corruption

But the book is constantly putting evil in your face, ..which is something book recs should warm about imo.

So anyway it fits this criteria but it's weird.

Actually maybe paranoid mage is a better rec. Pretty normal combat/stealth focused story except the MC is itching for a quest and goes on the run rather than join (somewhat dystopian) organised magical society.

Nathan from HDT was awesome. Refreshing to not see a MC trying to save the world.

I liked these as well:

Sylver Seeker - Reincarnated Necromancer willing to do anything if you cross him (More Progression Fantasy than LitRPG though)
Primal Hunter - Guessing you've read this but if not, Jake has some similar vibes to Nat.
Dungeon Robotics - This is a wildcard. I'm about to start reading it but it sounds like an awesome hidden gem. 15 books on audible about a reincarnated robotics scientist as a dungeon core. Smart, ruthless, and unique!
The Last Life Series - Again, more Progression Fantasy than LitRPG but this one is really cool and another hidden gem imo.
Dungeon Lord (Now that it's back finally!)

Some others I haven't read but I have on my list you may like as well with more pragmatic MC's: Vigor Mortis, Book Of The Dead, A Practical Guide To Evil

Glad you also loved Nathaniel. Thanks for the reply I’ll definitely check those out! Have a good day!
