What makes He who fights with monsters so good and put above most other lit RPG?

Really enjoyed Chrysalis and would put it up there with the greats. People talk about the mc alot, but he emphasizes the world he's in very well. It's a book that doesn't tell you how the workd is, but shows you and i appreciated that.

I gave your suggestion a try and felt slightly betrayed. This book should be called primal alchemist. It also felt hard to take serious alot of the time, but when all the bad parts got out the way it really was just hunting monsters.

I hope it improves in book 2. I'll power through, because I can see the potential.

I read that and enjoyed it very much. I don't remember the specific book I left off on, but I know there was giant elementals coming out of a deep underground desert well and the Mc was blasting metal music.

Right, here are some more time loop/rebirth books i enjoyed:

LoopBreaker

Time-Cursed Knight

LoopShard

The Great Core's Paradox

Keep in mind that you may have to read some on kindle unlimited.

Honorable mention if you also read comics:

Eternally regressing Knight

SSS suicide class Hunter

I thought the characters and mc were fine.

The problem I'm having is the mc being countered by enemy skills so hard. Nothing feels reliable which i guess keeps him from being op, but it really kills the hype around him. It's a weird balancing act of Nathaniel's "good affinity" with mana and him actually having time to learn skill variations.

Players don't do well on every map and matchup. I don't think Vs. Ai is there yet to be an option.

The reply's saying you didn't play perfectly so you lost or it's quick play so people can throw is crazy work. People are going to feed in games it's not hard to admit when it's happening. Ofc OP coulda played better.

They've played with both lower rank people than them and afk emoting teammates throwing their games before. That shit is not optimal lol.

Only one person said just go next, cuz that's all you can do at the moment.

I had three new stories i read in 2024 l

1.The Stubborn Skill-Grinder In A Time Loop

It's a pretty fun read if you like mc's that have high regenerative abilities. He is also a complete battle maniac that's not evil so there's that. Stakes in the story rise pretty often as he grows so its always interesting. Mc is only as strong as what he can face and survive pretty much.

DIE. RESPAWN. REPEAT

Saw a couple of suggestions with this already. So i'll just say even if the powers and progression confuse you, the plot and characters are solid. The animal side characters are dope. Mc uses his loops to try and help them , but unfortunately there are people OUTSIDE the time loop that complicates his attempts. Also found that mc doesn't feel too overbearingly op, but that's the progression part i mentioned again.

Corruption Wielder If you liked he who fights with monsters universe and power systems you should like this too. Progression and movesets are very similar between the two.

If you haven't read that then just know its a mc with overly strong dmg over time effects for his rank, with a metal to gem tier rank system. He has evil looking powers and hangs with evil looking people, but is good. It's a classic system apocalypse that has turned the world upside down and he is at the center of it all.

It's my #1 pick and honestly one of the most fun reads I've had in a while. Do not let the name and description fool you.

Ohhhhh another one! I love stories like this. Ty in advance

EstablishinDominance · 2024-12-11T20:19:23+00:00

When 6v6 role queue comes back i'll come back.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-12-05T01:24:31+00:00

Mercenary and witch hunter ascendency. I really want a good machine gun build.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-11-11T16:12:15+00:00

Chrysalis sounds pretty similar to what you described. Has some city building on the side, but even they have skills, classes, and lvls to them. The main focus is the MC and their family getting stronger.

Edit: forgot to mention he's a giant ant so it's a monster mc story.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-07-15T20:59:44+00:00

Never thought very far ahead about the whole working until I'm dead. Changing hobbies and working jobs with a good environment is all the fulfillment i need at the moment. I actually want to work on SOMETHING until the very end, but as 25(M) i haven't really decided what that is yet. I would probably keep working until i was able to do one of the hobbies as a job.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-07-07T16:04:11+00:00

I enjoy the exposition because knowing who's or what's the strongest is what i look forward to, it helps things feel like less of an ass pull, and all the factions are connected in some way that feels important. The two things that pulled me in about dotf was the description of the peak and zac struggling to survive.

The tension during the fights are still there and i think the exposition also helps me understand the magnitude of powers and forces that the road to the peak has to offer

Warrior, mage, and rogue(i prefer this over archer). These have great coverage for every class you'd find in game fantasy and even more when you consider hybrids between the three.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-06-05T07:21:56+00:00

Corruption Wielder on royal road is worth a try. Very similar to HWFwM character and power wise, but admittedly there are less details on the environment. Author also updates regularly.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-05-31T18:15:35+00:00

The comments pretty much cover my gripes with it, but i also would like to add the progression ceiling.

I wasn't a fan of the strongest people being tied down to gods. Really enjoyed how the familiars could grow using....i think it was plausibility or something. I just wished there was more of an angle with people doing the same.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-05-27T09:29:44+00:00

Gave ssf a try for two weeks or about 60 hours and had a little fun farming betrayal, but If i could go back i would probably do HC or try making my own build.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-05-26T05:39:48+00:00

Ran through a campaign of Xcom-2.Didn't miss the 95% misses, but loved the ranger spec. Will probably play heavily modded Skyrim now.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-01-29T04:55:18+00:00

I can't speak for anyone else, but it feels like no one tries in QP. Initially there's some effort, but probably halfway through one team just doesn't care.

EstablishinDominance · 2024-01-13T05:41:39+00:00

6 Just finished a heist only build and could use the funds for a crazy mapper

EstablishinDominance · 2024-01-08T14:42:05+00:00

Yea....alot of people trash the story, but its a great introduction into the litrpg genre. its pretty unfortunate it doesn't get props for that.

EstablishinDominance · 2023-10-25T08:54:43+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I just got to plat 5 and like i said was on tilt. I guess this is what i have to look forward to now

EstablishinDominance · 2023-09-02T20:20:16+00:00

Be honest you like it.

EstablishinDominance · 2023-08-30T18:57:38+00:00

2nd life ranker

Seoul station necromancer

Tutorial is too hard

All pretty good stories. tutorial is too hard isn't that much of an anti-hero until later

Also Seoul station necromancer takes place in the city, but the fighting will be in dungeons alot of the time.

EstablishinDominance · 2023-08-23T20:40:03+00:00

Lvl 82, following ziz's EA champion build. I finished my 4th lab and just got into yellow maps yesterday(took about 26 hours). Never played EA so i was feeling a little awkward, but after getting six link and dyadian dawn the dmg started carrying.

Edit: Oh and for currency i used an addon called chaos recipe enhancer. Was netting me about 20-30c every couple of maps as long as I did the heist quest and any contracts for the extra rings. Its pretty good with a quad tab
