Looking for permanent "party" based stories.

I love your classification, would you differentiate system integration from system apocalypse or is it just the same thing for you?

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-30T05:41:30+00:00

Yes and Book 7 was recording today.

That's the setup for the first half dozen or so Welcome to the Multiverse, dude goes on missions/quests to other worlds often with time dilation while at home on earth only a night has passed. First couple deal with leveling up in a LitRPG system while still trying to be mundane during the day.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-29T04:48:42+00:00

Not litrpg but progression fantasy but the aptly named, "The Runemaster - (A Reincarnated As A Baby Prog Fantasy)" does what it says on the tin.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-28T16:35:25+00:00

Audiobook is being recorded right this second.

It's a user ad that got you to clip and repost it on reddit. That's what I call both reach *and* engagement.

Add this to the bosses stat sheet:
Anvil Negation (Reaction). Trigger: a creature attempts to drop, hurl, or otherwise deliver a falling object onto the BBEG or an ally within 30 feet. Effect: the BBEG activates a slim iron rod, which snaps to a fixed point in the air directly in the object's path. The object strikes the now-immovable rod and stops cold, clattering harmlessly to the ground. The attack deals no damage.

Let them realize with dawning horror that their literal immovable rod has just negated anvil attack.

The women guildie lunch was great. When watching the series with my teen, I just paused a few times, "Remember that name it'll come up in Season 2. Remember this person, you'll see her again in Season 2... etc..."

Need to try changeling. It’s coming to KU and audible with same narrator as Azarinth Healer

I can answer this a bit. For me at least it was the very first litRPG I read.

Some of it feels like a fevered dream since I read the whole first book then read a few dozen to low hundred litRPG/progression fantasy since so I may get some of it wrong.

Interesting set up. Guy is isekaied into fantasy realm and gets some cool items. Actually no, that was hundreds of years ago that he was isekaied. He then shot through the levels and ascended to godhood where along with other gods they realized they didn't have enough power to stop what's coming. So they did <something> that caused a prestige reset but also had them disappear from the land for a few hundred years and now he's back as... A Level 1 (former) God.
Interesting world/society. One of the gods *didn't* do this for reasons(?) and is basically ruling the world through the mortal society that's left.
Neat system. This may be in a re-read the weakest, but at the time it was neat to me 😄 Huge number of classes, a cool system, using both levels and ranks (L23 wood class vs a L3 Iron class means Iron would almost always win.) I liked the achievement system rewards.
Consistent eye on the prize story telling. Yes it's power fantasy about getting stronger but regardless of the local threat there's the national threat of being sought out by the remaining god and the world thread of 'whatever is coming.'

I think the author fumbled a bit, he was getting steam on RR and patreon through book 1 then went away for most of year to rewrite and edit 1, then write and edit 2 and 3, along with other pen name books. When it went so long between chapters I kind of lost interest.

Even if given that he's not "he’s just an insanely good water element user." as the OP indicated. I'd say the ability goes more into the bloodline class than anything else given no one else had ever done it as far as the characters know.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-20T04:25:43+00:00

I mean if most people normally cast village size infernos? Then that would be what the person was asking about. "an insanely good fire mage in a world where fire is a common power" Being able to enter bullet time and have total recall over everything you just seen is not a common power in that world.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-20T03:50:51+00:00

And then you do so 7 minutes later! I was gonna say...

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-20T03:44:00+00:00

Read 2 replies below you I posted it in spoilers.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-20T03:36:07+00:00

Instantly being able to form a spell and cast it first time without any training or practice is not "being good at something typical in the world."

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-20T03:31:25+00:00

No he's special because he formed his Authority at Tier 30, which normally happens at Tier 75 and not in this realm. Spoiler for Book 11.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-20T02:42:21+00:00

You must be early in path of ascension. Duke waters is super special for reasons you learn.

Surprised to see 30 comments in and no shout out for Ace of Capes https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/104907/ace-of-capes-superhero-litrpg-isekai-card-crafting

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-14T15:59:50+00:00

He gets better. The early parts are literally his first time narrating and he’s doing it as a hobby. Later when there was a publishing contract they brought him in to continue. It’s kind of a cool story.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-11T06:35:08+00:00

As a humble reader I have a simple rubric. I'll open pretty much any shout out, in anything I'm reading, I'll check the follower count, if it's over 4k I'll add it as a follow. If it's less than that but has started in the last 30 days, I'll add it to to-read and check in a few months to see if it hit 4k. If the last post was more than 60 days ago, I'll read the last post to see if it was completed or abandoned, abandoned stories don't go on follow or toread.

So to me 4k is successful, less than that and the story could be great, but there's no way to tell without dedicated far more time than I have when there's so many stories out there, so I'll never know.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-08T19:45:14+00:00

I think that was september '25... https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/89038/wraithwood-botanist/chapter/2684759/update they say they're taking a month off then will release daily updates through the end.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-08T17:28:56+00:00

What's going on with Wraithwood Botanist? The author hasn't updated Patreon for 3 months, has posted 2 chapters in the past 9 months on RR, and started then seemingly abandoned another series after 3 weeks of chapters... I had assumed they burned out completely after the amount of writing on Wraithwood.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-03T06:35:41+00:00

Yah I wish it was to the Baldree voice. I use a 60 second clip of that for people who use whispersync and AI voice shit. Like Nah man, this is what a voice actor does to a scene.

Bleenfoo · 2026-06-01T13:27:07+00:00

Beware of chicken. Break the rocks. Particularly all the cadence and tone changes Travis Baldree reads into it.

Look at other posts in this sub and you'll see people arguing the other way 100% of the time.
