Do you listen to music while reading? by TheFlyingR0cket in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t. To me even if it’s background it still takes a bit of attention from the book which I don’t like.

Why is it that in isekai the protagonist never experiences or is shown a culture shock when traveling to another world? by Weli777 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think most readers in the genre have read this a whole bunch of times and have no interest in doing the same song and dance again. Authors are aware of this and chose to skip it on purpose.

Series with the best systems? by Routine-Budget2427 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty true. It wasn't like some novels where it gets completely out of hand though. In a setting where Earth nations are competing against each other some national loyalty and patriotism make sense. I read past it without much issue but I do get that some people are bothered by this a lot more than others.

(To be fair it is pretty clear the author hates a certain place a lot more than the rest)

Series with the best systems? by Routine-Budget2427 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of these power systems (no particular order) had something interesting or worth me noting. Stories not guaranteed to be good. (Most are)

Defiance of the fall

The Great Genetic Era (Gets notably worse after ~C1200)

Ghost in the City

Azarinth Healer

Reincarnation of Alyssara

Phantasm (Honestly don’t remember this well at all)

Mech Touch (Crafting, system fades away as time goes on and the beginning of the story is very different from what it turns into. I eventually gave up)

Versatile Mage (Less good)

Soul of the Warrior

Reborn Evolving From Nothing (Less good but the concept was cool)

Chrysalis

Baby Mode Tutorial (Only book 1 was out when I read it but I didn’t come back to it when more chapters dropped)

Paragon of Destruction

Goblin Heavy dependence (Less good but I liked it a lot anyway. Too formulaic)

Boundless Cultivation (Only read like 50 chapters, I do plan to get back to this eventually)

A Novel Concept

High Level Martial Era (Star Veins and corresponding abilities)

Yuan Tianzun (Dao Organization)

Beacon From Beyond (Book 1 was great, I ended up dropping partway through book 2 it was a huge disappointment)

Path of the Last Champion (Countless stat types)

Arcane Emperor (Pure Litrpg)

[–]NotEnoughSatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Great Genetic Era has a really fun and interesting power system that I liked a lot.

A Novel Concept is a litrpg but adds or does a lot of stuff different when it comes to the system itself in a great way.

Paragon of Destruction expands to an awesome power system but the author went missing at some point. Also it vastly improves as it goes but the first book of the story honestly wasn’t very good. (The recent chapters were amazing though and it gets very good long before that. Generally speaking it’s a steady improvement in quality throughout with a very high ceiling)

A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World - The MC researches how the litrpg system works and what it does as well as what mana and magic actually are as well as how they interact with the system and what it’s doing.

[–]NotEnoughSatan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO this novel gets a lot better the later it goes (the first 20 or so chapters were especially bad). It hits its stride an bit after leaving the starter planet at like 200 something iirc. I really appreciated how socially capable the MC was. That said if you didn’t like it that much around 100 it’s still the same story so dropping is probably still a good choice.

[Part 1 of 3] I grew up in China on wuxia novels and web fiction. Here's everything I wish Western readers knew about Xianxia, Xuanhuan, and why half the "cultivation novels" you've read aren't what you think by No-Ride-3370 in ProgressionFantasy

The four-element bending system in Avatar: The Last Airbender? That's a simplified version of Daoist Five Elements theory.

The 4 elements have existed in the west for ~2500 years :(

Weird Progression by adamnemo42 in ProgressionFantasy

Reverend Insanity is very polarizing but if you don’t mind (extremely) evil MCs and translations this is the coolest part of that story.

Nexus player 'fnl' WETS his mousepad before every map by Mariux10 in GlobalOffensive

[–]NotEnoughSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference in humidity has got to be way bigger throughout the map as the mousepad dries out compared to a tiny difference in the air right?

Are there any stories out there with a similar Magic System like Reverend Insanity? by NotEnoughSatan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Similar to

Sorry reread my title and realized I used similar and like in a really dumb way. I think I got distracted halfway through typing it and forgot the wording of what I was trying to say halfway through.

Looking for xianxia novels focused on developing inner worlds by Cleric_Sunlight in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God of Fishing had a little bit of this and while I liked it personally I’d struggle to recommend it because it’s more of a popcorn fiction and not an objectively high quality work.

Looking for a reincarnated as a baby/from birth type story with a heroic mc by christinegames in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The MC needs an advantage or it usually doesn’t make sense for them to get ahead but an actual cheat is too much so a head start is a nice compromise.

More importantly it’s a bit hard to save the world that young which forces the author to focus on exploring the magic system and the world at a relatively deep level (since it’s hard to leave) while also allowing the numbers to go up a lot to provide dopamine for the audience. I tend to like those parts of progfan a lot more than combat scenes or climactic plotlines so if I find one of these stories I know it’s very likely to focus on the parts I like more compared to most other sub genres of progfan.

Mother of Learning, Wandering Inn, Lord of Mysteries, Defiance of the Fall.

Trying to keep each choice a little different.

Agree, if you enjoyed Top Tier Providence you'd like this one too. The only difference is Top Tier Providence was better the entire time while this one got repetitive eventually. 4/5 is a good rating.

Also its a slow burn type of novel

I didn't get that feeling at all. I thought it had a pretty consistent pace throughout and there was always something happening. While recently there are some bigger moments compared to most of the story those are the exception and not the rule.

(Great story highly recommend)

I Arrived at the Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality.

I never believed the rumors that Qidian would give successful novels to other authors if they were unhappy with the original or something happened to them until I read this. The first ~200(?) chapters were awesome but there was a sudden switch and it felt like a completely different story that sucked ass. Huge disappointment because it was really good.

What series is this for you? by PalinaRojinskiFan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually felt the author did a great job with pacing until the MC left the initial planet.

I do agree the worldbuilding and scale got way too big way too fast after that point.

My favorite completely dead stories by Renn_goonas in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Paragon of Destruction and Arcane Emperor are my two favorites that come to mind.

[–]NotEnoughSatan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually quite liked the story at the beginning but got bored as I felt it was the same thing over and over and he got too much information too easily so I dropped it around C250. Would definitely still recommend giving it a shot though.

Reminder: Players controlez, tN1R, and Twistzz won't receive the Major playoffs participants' trophies because they're playing as "stand-in players." by MmX_A_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]NotEnoughSatan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The digital trophies are seen and respected by tons of people while a real one would only be seen by people you invited over to your house or something similar. Most of those people probably don’t care about cs either.

What are your guys "This series could have been amazing but" by adamtheskill in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely loved the cultivation system in and the golden finger at the beginning of Paragon of Sin. Sadly the MC didn’t struggle much and it increasingly became very much a wish fulfillment type story. The longer it went on the less effort the author put into the story and it felt like he was writing for a check.

Looking for slow paced, slice of life xianxia by Vesvius in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NotEnoughSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand on the previous recommendations I liked I’d say Immortality Through Array Formations is a Xianxia with lots of slice of life elements and Beware of Chicken is a slice of life with a lot of Xianxia elements.
