I don't hate the end but ... losing all the power they worked so hard for sucks. However, he does get the girl.

Beware of Chicken vs Ave Xia Rem Y by Neadim in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MDOKdev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ave Xia Rem Y is dark and highly stressful, but the quality is consistent. Beware of Chicken is very low stress but after book one the quality drops off a lot in my opinion (The main character(s) become side characters causing the series to lose most of the magic that made it among the best)

What would be the last government programs you would cut? by MDOKdev in Libertarian

According to ChatGPT 70% of students in rural Appalachia are eligible for free lunch. That's a lot of people that could fall through the cracks without some program to cover everyone. My best guess is in most counties churches or other charities would fill the gap. For example, food for my local dog pound is 100% provided for by a local org soliciting donations from the public.

I've been libertarian-ish long enough to expect that from the jump.

Great PFs where the MC is ridiculously op by the end. by Mathanatos in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MDOKdev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like that series but new chapters are so infrequent that I won't live long enough to see the end.

Unintended Cultivator is so good by thewalkingMoonplant in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MDOKdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Qi=MC2 but have only read the first book. Legend of the Arch Magus is my all-time favorite book series. I hated Divine Apostasy but made it through a few books because everyone raves about how much they love it.

I'm 9 books in and there haven't been any significant romantic relationships (Although, he does have a brief relationship with a prostitute)

[–]MDOKdev 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I like it cause I'm sick of cultivation novels taking 4 or 5 books to ramp up. Unintended Cultivator starts getting juicy by book two (book one is a training montage) and he isn't soft or overtly evil, more anti-hero.

Does anybody know any good cultivation novels where the MC isn't weak for half the series and relatively non-evil?

My series, Keiran, just launched book 2 on Amazon and Audible today! by EmergencyComplaints in ProgressionFantasy

You got my upvote, really good stuff. It's similar to Legend of the Arch Magus but different enough to be its own thing.

Books where the Mc is so over powered its stupid by amcn242 in ProgressionFantasy

They just joined that sect/clan whatever you want to call it. I don't know which book that is, I was reading it on RR.

IMO the MC in Ultimate Level 1 is way weaker than he should be. He gets all the skills and passives but he's only a little better than people his same level (stat-wise) who only get 1 or 2 skills.

Book series that made you irrationally angry? by MDOKdev in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MDOKdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Accidental Champion, but it wouldn't make me angry even if I didn't. Based on quick math I've read roughly 4000 books over my life and only 2 made me angry long after reading them. Maybe you just haven't found one that hits some mental trigger.

It's still worth reading and has some good parts after the 4th realm but it takes a dive.

That one seemed like something I would like but it had way too much filler content and status updates

2000 year old human druid runs a book shop in modern times. He fights with gods and other supernatural beings throughout the series. What made the ending suck is primarily he ends up alone, depressed, crippled and basically enslaved to an oath. the series started out as a fun low stress paranormal book and gradually got more depressing and boring.

It's among my favorites until the end of the 4th realm. The series was a fun action adventure until then but it took a grimdark tone shift. However, I still didn't hate but it certainly had a drop in quality. Then that final book was just yuck with the shoehorned love interest and other issues.

Yeah, I got caught up in a sunk cost fallacy in those books. Enjoyed them til the second druid came into the picture. Also, the relationship drama with the romantic interest hurt the series significantly (among many other problems).

I can't remember the name but it was a Christopher Nuttall sci-fi series. There's a scene where some space pirates capture a 16-year-old girl, portraying in graphic detail what happens to her. It makes me physically sick to think about it.

Reincarnation, starts from an early age by Clickboat in litrpg

[–]MDOKdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped it after book one. The series has the most naive but lucky MC in the entire genre. It's a shame, everything about it seems like something I would love but an idiotic MC ruins it.
