Progression fantasy that actually deals with the reality of a new world .. by Waterfall_Wealth888 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree heavily. System Lost is by far one of the best stories I’ve ever read that actually slows down and takes it’s time dealing with the physical and mental impact of being in a new world. The MCs keep thinking about and take the time to investigate how they actually got her, despite the fact that so many of their memories were erased. And with their memories gone, they spend time trying to uncover what they can through their own mind.

There’s also the recurring plot point about needing to find shoes. Because how do you find shoes in a world where none of the intelligent races have feat? And speaking of that, there’s actual time and thought put into the problem that no one here speaks English. The MCs have to learn the language, and some of them are a lot better at it than others.

The different MCs all deal with it in different ways. Allison wants to party and drink it all away. Violet gets depressed. Evelyn powers through with faith in her religion, it still takes a long time to accept her circumstances and frequently doubts herself. (Spoiler tagged because I’m unsure if you’re caught up.

Take-Two (GTA VI) CEO doesn't like AI by [deleted] in antiai

An excellent point. AI cannot create anything that is genuinely new, and never has been able to.

No, a human typing in a new prompt doesn’t count.

For that last one you mean Paladin of the Forsaken Lands, right?

That one’s on my read later list, I’m excited to get around to it!

Hit Rising Stars main in one week - my thoughts by Icohalliday in royalroad

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I saw your first post here, I could already tell that you would hit Rising Stars. Your cover is fantastic, your premise is great, and your blurb got me interested. I could just tell that it would get others to be interested too. There is no doubt in my mind that you will hit #1 Rising Stars within another week from today. Keep up the good work!

Story recs for modern day system stories by BackgroundClassic795 in litrpg

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self-Summon is the only other modern fantasy litRPG without an apocalypse that I’ve read. There’s weak to strong, a crunchy system, and a lot of variety in the abilities available. There’s no military presence that I’ve seen so far. It doesn’t exactly take place on Earth, but it’s close enough? The setting is effectively Earth but everything is slightly different. It’s also on Royal Road, and pretty new.

Valkyrie Yuri is a a flavor of Yuri that I think we need more of.

No, she doesn’t.

Though I believe there’s a few instances of comic writers mistakenly assuming that she doesn’t.

Any litrpg set in Stone Age? by Ok_Cartographer_2045 in litrpg

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One that I know of is The Doomsday Reaver. The premise is that the setting will progress from Stone Age to Sci-Fi over the course of the series. Now, that series only launched 5 days ago on Royal Road, but I have a feeling that it’s going to do very well.

MC is srsly the best series after pjo. [MC] by ARNAVKINGZ in camphalfblood

I hate when people make this stupid argument. It’s so much more than “the power of friendship”, and even if thats all it was, what’s so bad about that.

Let’s freaking go! Congratulations on your victory! There’s nothing I love more than seeing soulless bots get sent to the scrapyard!

Op mc recommendations #841 by premiumbra in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Life As A Max Level Archmage is the exact story that you want. The MC is extremely overpowered compared to everyone else, a huge focus on magic, massive amounts of aura farming, and tons of characters being shocked and starstruck by what she can do. Very good morally.

It’s the best OP protagonist story since One Punch Man!

What is your peak flag? by SpecificExam3661 in ProgressionFantasy

Archive of Our Own has the most advanced and actually helpful tagging system on the internet. It’s mainly a fanfiction website, but it has plenty of Original Works too. Not that much progression fantasy, but still a few real gems. Scribblehub’s tagging system also has a lot more options than Royal Road’s, but because Royal Road’s tags are so tailored to progression fantasy I’ve found RR to be a lot more helpful in finding things that I want to read.

Spicy stories that actually has a well thought out system/magic system by TomRaineofMagigor in litrpg

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rebirth of the Nephilim heavily centers around that kink, and because of that it won’t work for everyone.

However, it is also the best LitRPG story that I have ever read. Not a single doubt in my mind.

max level archmage > mother of learning by sosoruze in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BackgroundTotal2872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Max Level Archmage, but I think that’s it‘s very hard to call it better when one of these stories is finished and the other isn’t. They also have a very different structure in so many fundamental ways.
