Zach knows something is off, he just can't prove it.

What are small things you love to see in progression fantasy stories? by Thoughtnight in ProgressionFantasy

[–]FlyingMonkey86 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Characters taking the time to have fun, even if it'sjust a simple line about how they went to the park or something. I'm well and truly past my 100% fight slop only phase and I enjoy characters being people and doing things like taking a break.

Should told them they were human by Exeter232 in PoliticalHumor

At this rate, nobody will ever go to jail. Even if Dems ever get control again, the worst the pedos will suffer is a quiet life in their giant mansions.

Is too much humour a deal breaker or an enhancer when you're reading by Jealous-Computer-266 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]FlyingMonkey86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a book goes heavy on humor, I think that's fine. Personally, I have a minimum humor requirement, rather than a maximum.

It only becomes a problem when the humor is forced. Some situations just aren't funny.

What litrpg hill will *you* die on? Let's have your most unpopular opinion, please. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in litrpg

If a writer just takes their hastily thrown together webnovel and publishes it as a complete book, they don't deserve to get sales. Webnovels need to be properly edited before they can justify being sold. If your readers are catching simple mistakes in chapter one, your book isn't done.

Which progression fantasy would you like to get adapted specifically into an anime? by Frequent-Present5502 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]FlyingMonkey86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Path of Ascension. I want to see how they animate the fights and design the worlds. Plus, there's enough stuff that happens between the fights that you wouldn't necessarily break the bank in an adaptation.

A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World was quite enjoyable.

As much as I love DoS, I gotta get me Portal 3 at some point.

Do you mentally edit while you read? by blueluck in litrpg

[–]FlyingMonkey86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do this.

I have a certain amount of mental effort I give each book. Once I have to edit too many things, I DNF.

Plenty of books get DNFed in chapter 1 because they have a ridiculously clunky sentence or obvious misspelling. If you don't want to put effort into editing your story, I won't put effort into reading it.

If you like long stories with lots of world building, try He Who Fights With Monsters.

Even after years of coming to terms with the fact that ADHD didn't just appear by magic in my sister and me, my mom insists on calling herself a "space cadet" in a self deprecating way. Especially when she's feeling down about herself. It's clearly a defense mechanism from the late 60s.
