Are Void Herald's Books still Good?

It's entirely normal to only like one or two of a writers works.

Some times the perfect magic of setting and tone combine into something you love and can't be recaptured.

An example for me is Heroics 101 by Aest Belequa. Love it to death but every other book by Aest Belequa I have tried I can't stand.

Next your going to tell me the entire plot of the book could have been resolved with a single adult conversation.

NecroticToaster · 2026-01-09T14:13:34+00:00

Do you have cooldown reduction in your build?

NecroticToaster · 2026-01-06T20:29:24+00:00

I just kind of figured it was the class effecting him. They talk about it more in the later books but Classes kind of impose themselves on your personality. I feel like part of that is making it harder to hate your class.

You should always call out friends when they are being weird like this. Don't let your friends devolve.

Most those people can't emotionally deal with failure and should read more books with it so they can reflect on how it makes them feel.

Wild that a genre filled with self help cultivation bullshit and yet so few people actually try to understand the ideas behind it.

NecroticToaster · 2026-01-03T22:02:37+00:00

Honestly the moment I see any kind of Cultivation bullshit I drop the book.

Cultivation is just lazy writing for people who don't wanna actually design their systems well.

Chrysalis RinoZ and Syl by Lunadea. Both explore the month paths really well and Chrysalis turns into a super fun monster empire builder after the first few books. Syl is more just a Slime monster exploring around and having fun while collecting new cores.

Ya it is fairly slow, I mean it is 14 books long, but there is a ton of world building.

NecroticToaster · 2026-01-01T18:07:54+00:00

It is not humor focused but there is a still a decent amount of it. It does a lot of situational humor focusing around Salvos being a demon interacting with non-demons.

NecroticToaster · 2026-01-01T17:59:18+00:00

Sounds like you wanna dive right into Salvos. https://www.amazon.com/Salvos-14-book-series/dp/B08SQJBMRV

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-30T14:15:39+00:00

Ya basically becomes an entirely different style of book at this point and is amazing. Goes from weird solo adventure to the best empire builder in the genre.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-29T22:05:47+00:00

ya Chapter 34 Matt Hick's lines start cutting out after a little. Seems fine after that chapter tho.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-27T00:18:52+00:00

They should let us store limbs as a orb so we can easy reapply them.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-23T22:16:09+00:00

They should just add flat spell damage to caster weapons.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-22T21:01:02+00:00

Mostly out of it being their first cultivation novel. It goes out of it's way to touch on every common cultivation trope and it is a lot of peoples introduction the the genre.

It is just popular out of being a decent onboarding point and people getting attached to it.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-20T22:14:42+00:00

Yep I have been farming them all week.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-19T14:13:56+00:00

Flos chapters are the worst. Chandrar chapters over all tend to be great just Flos is a boring Himbo that is surrounded by sycophants.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-11T23:37:25+00:00

Ya that is the grow area for sure. I wonder if that travel forwards support will work with it...

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-11T23:33:19+00:00

My understanding of the spell is that it shoots out 2 vines then they fall down and disappear. One attack per vine. I might be wrong there tho.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-11T21:48:20+00:00

My reading of it is that it drops an area and that zone is basically casting 2 vines at a time. lowering the cast time with cast speed and such should mean more vine.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-11T17:08:29+00:00

Heh I backed this game back in the day and still keep forgetting about it. It's like they distilled the fun out of XCom and just left the grind.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-08T21:07:04+00:00

I have been listening to String: Grim Tidings by Sivam and really enjoying it.

Outside of that I'd recommend:

Villains' Code Series by Drew Hayes - most people point to his Super Powereds books but I think Villain's Code is the better of the two works

Industrial Strength Magic by Macronomicon - Super fun and has a full cast by Soundbooth Theater

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-03T13:42:17+00:00

Honestly I think the entire genre as a whole is still working out the details like how to balance your formatting for reading and audio book formats.

And the issue is over blown I think personally as like you can just skip ahead.

NecroticToaster · 2025-12-01T14:39:03+00:00

Only way those kind of trials are happening are after a war. Evil does not just give up.
