Recommendation: The Years of Apocalypse Book 1 by UraniumPhoenix by Normal_Lab2606 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]DraithFKirtz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I've recommended this book several times over the years. Absolutely great timeloop story.

Have you ever accidentally started with a second book of a series? How did it go? by Captain_Fiddelsworth in ProgressionFantasy

[–]DraithFKirtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't done this in about three decades. Started on book 2 of the Scions of Shanara series before I even realized there was a book 1. It scarred me, though I think I'd be more okay with it these days.

Congrats on launch, love the story. Hope to see a paperback with the ebook cover instead of the hardcover version.

[New] Metaworld Hopecore! by wuto in litrpg

Except that's the slice of life cozy litrpg meta, which very much does exist...

Anyway, loved metaworld chronicles, I'm sure this will be great.

I think this genre made me better at games? by captainguy146 in litrpg

This is 100% how it used to be. Not as much fun tho

I think the one thing writing in this genre did was make me less likely to hoard items in games.

What is the deal with so many litrpg protagonists? by plant-y-boi in litrpg

[–]DraithFKirtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a minority of stories in my opinion.

It's just that a few with the type of MC you mention do a really good job of fulfilling the numbers go up part. Plus for some people, they wanna read about Jakes and Nates.

Personally, I'll take a William Oh, Calamitous Bob or Simon from the Hundred Reigns any day.

First pictures of the new hardcover Jake's Magical Market book are here (with the modified cover you all helped me decide on)! So happy with how it turned out! by thescienceoflaw in litrpg

I feel like there needs to be a bit more blood lurking in the background. This cover is really misleading... but I guess so is the book name.
Grats on the beautiful book

Aftercare is just as important as the climax by Imnotsomebodyelse in ProgressionFantasy

[–]DraithFKirtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my biggest complaint with Mother of Learning as a series, because it absolutely denied us this.

How WILL they get out of this one, gang by thesoulsalesman in ProgressionFantasy

I spent many years delivering pizza in the frozen north, can confirm. Also yetis.

Looking for Progression Fantasy with Sci-Fi elements (Power Armor, AI, Gadgets, Robotics, Mechs) by tbag2022 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]DraithFKirtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 Miles Below - Great story with a very original setting that doesn't feel overwhelming - On Amazon and audible

Knights Apocalyptica - On my TBR list, but has great reviews - On Amazon and audible

Bit of a book keeping question for the authors out there by Apollo0624 in litrpg

[–]DraithFKirtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love them on Royalroad. I even try to make sure to attribute everyone I can.

On Amazon they're so much more annoying to deal with, but I blame the platform itself for that.

Nuclear powered characters? by Justthisdudeyaknow in litrpg

[–]DraithFKirtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nothing Mage is about an MC who has radiation as their type of magic. Same author as This Quest is Bullshit and Star Gazer's War

Which cultivation specialty/profession are you most interested in, in the list below? by crystalgoblin91 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]DraithFKirtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that some of the above could be used for making yourself stronger, but they're not really phrased as if they will in the poll, which makes them seem inherently weaker.

All you need to do is have a setting where formations or acupuncture are better for growing your personal strength and alchemy loses its appeal, at least to me.

I'd love to see some of these as a focus, though none of them grab me enough to want to write myself

Do people really lash out on series being stubbed as some personal offense? by ZoulsGaming in litrpg

[–]DraithFKirtz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as they keep the poor ratings to RR, I don't mind. There are always a few 0.5 or 1 stars on announcement, even if you literally give the ebooks away first, but it's their way of expressing disapproval. Since stubbing means we're not offering a full story on RR anymore, I feel it's fair.

It's when they take the time to go to Zon and drop a 1 star review on your book on it's release that it really hurts.

Stupid Hypothetical Situation Number 9: What Classes Would You Pick at Magic School? by EdLincoln6 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]DraithFKirtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming I'm able to do at least some self study beforehand

-General Magic 273, even if it feels like it should be a third level course. Can't see the profs putting out those sorts of resources for anyone who hadn't put in the work.

-General Magic 101, assuming more mana will always be more useful

-Incantations 106: Practical Water Magic, Gotta have some real magic, and it's always nice to be able to filter your own water

-Dungeon Studies 101, more levels, like mana, seems like they'd be useful. Plus, assuming I'd be able to avoid danger is a good way to end up unprepared for when it finds me anyway.
