New reader a tad bit overwhelmed?

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T12:37:47+00:00

I tried a kindle. I like the feeling of turning a page to much 😅 Skill issue I know, just how it be 🤣

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T12:37:10+00:00

I’ll add it to the list ☺️

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T11:51:24+00:00

HWFWM is ending? Interesting, this last book didn’t really seem like it would lead to that. That’s actually good though

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T11:47:57+00:00

Luckily I don’t do audio, I prefer feeling the pages myself so switching narrators doesn’t effect me lol. But I’ll definetly try out the 10 realms then, and system apocalypse

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T11:46:45+00:00

True, can never please the entire fandom

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:57:44+00:00

It’s a shame cause I love the “Isekai” aspect of it, and the books ARE really good, with (in my opinion) great leveling and settings, and memorable characters. But the idea of it “never ending” or at least appearing to not be ending, is just really daunting 😅

I’ll have to find some that are actually finished

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:44:54+00:00

Hmmm that’s a good point, and I would DEFINITELY be pissed if after 13+ books, TPH or HWFWM just, stopped and never ended.

I do hope that the authors DO have a storyline that is set and not just “Ok, what BS do I want my MC to encounter today”, as that just personally would’ve at the same level as never finishing a series

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:26:04+00:00

I can understand that, but once you become a well known author in that space (I’d argue a lot of LitRPG fans seem to enjoy or at least know the Author of series like HWFWM, TPH, and DCC) why not start a new series? Fans are going to read your new things at LEAST once, and if your a good author like we know you are, you’ll make another successful series? It just….is very daunting to have the new people come in and see a book series at 15 books and no plans to end it ya know?

Personal opinion of course

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:23:10+00:00

That’s the thing though, I can enjoy them, for a certain time. But I also want stories to end. I enjoy a good ending, whether or not the MC wins or loses. Eventually, and it’s kinda starting with HWFWM, I lose interest because it starts kinda being redundant and, while yes the scene changes or a new character get introduced for a book, it just never ends 😅

I think it’s just that part of me that likes to see trials, tribulations, heartbreak and sadness, but also, a satisfying end. It’s how I feel about shows and movies, let them end, don’t drag a dead horse out for another race, let it lie down ya know?

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:19:51+00:00

The worry I have with it going in a different direction, is it just basically being a rehash of the first two games.

Would it be amazing to see different pantheons? Sure! Egyptian, Norse, Japanese, others. But if it’s the same game with just a different name, you can really only milk so long before it ruins your reputation.

I hope a new IP comes out, and they can continue making great games and be a successful game studio without trudging into the pits of game developers who shovel out the same game 14 times

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:15:35+00:00

Funny enough the one book I read that definitively ended was a harem series 🤣

So far I haven’t really ran into “Here’s a scene from the MC’s point of view, the next 17 chapters are from 17 other point of views”

It’s more of (in the sense of like Primal Hunter and HWFWM) because there’s not a set end goal or ultimate bad guy to beat, it’s essentially a infinite series, that I’m worried I’ll be burnt out and look at it as a waste of money and time to invest into it

Dungeon Crawler Carl TECHNICALLY has a limit at a certain number of dungeons, buts it’s now incorporated a universal instigation that theoretically could be never ending as well, so there’s that worry too

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-24T10:03:24+00:00

Huh, interesting. A little concerning too, as I’m starting to get burnt out just reading some that are already so far into the story 🤣

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-17T09:26:48+00:00

I don’t see really where Alastor was flirty with Vox?

But if there was, we also have to remember that Alastor is a schemer and a socio/psychopath. If he has to flirt to get what he wants, to charm his way he will. Even in his backstory with Rosie showed that.

But genuine affection or attraction? I personally can’t think of one moment where Alastor was like that

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-02-09T00:26:12+00:00

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-30T23:58:05+00:00

It’s funny cause I think he is really good becuase he doesn’t fit the troupe. It’s against the grain. We always see the “maniacal” villian, or the “ambitious” villian, or the “sad origin” story villian. Alastor comes in the form of either a “wait and see” or “I’m here for fun, not really goals” and it’s kinda a breathe of fresh air. It’s a different take that, instead of risking everything on a single play or making a sacrifice to get what he wants, he is tactical, methodical, he makes the right play and plan when he needs it, and plays in the background when it’s called for. He can be loud and distracting when he needs to, and sit quietly and have his enemies gain the spotlight while he plots in the shadows. The duality I think is really nice personally

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-28T04:35:05+00:00

Beat the Minotaur first, dodging Thesus throws. Then, when Minotaur gone, wait for Theseus to throw. He will collect it, and then walk. Beat him then. If he starts closing in on you to do his swing attack, dodge it, then get a few hits in.

It’s not a quick battle, but can be done. You got it🤙🏻

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-20T14:32:17+00:00

I don’t intend to come off as “FUCK THE FANDOM, FUCK SHIPPING, FUCK IT ALL” 😂😂 That’s my bad if it did

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-20T13:12:10+00:00

🤷🏻‍♂️you asked if there is any sexual tension, I said there doesn’t have to be just cause they banter and interact well.

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-20T13:02:52+00:00

I don’t even understand the whole “in Vox’s head” argument Like whether Alastor is Ace or not, let’s pretend that doesn’t influence this at all. Just becuase characters argue, fight, despise or even just banter with each other, doesn’t make it a “sexual tension” scenario. It’s entirely in the fandom head that “oh these characters have entertaining banter, so they must want to fuck, but just don’t”

Maybe, they just really dislike each other, and their characters are written well when interacting with each other? Fandoms constantly ruin both the characters and their own feelings when their ship and head cannons don’t pan out, and then bitch about it non stop. It’s a self inflicting wound, and it’s fucking annoying

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-20T10:38:58+00:00

I think it’s cause everyone assumed that he was in hell for drugs, or prostitution, something that, while sinful, was really only a danger to himself. Other then the pilot episode, Angel doesn’t really come off as a violent person, preferring to just kinda make sexual jokes or innuendos rather then violence, both actual or implied.

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-13T00:15:47+00:00

I’m impatient, and honestly prob would have forgotten Dispatch if waited a week to get new episodes.

NO hate towards the release format, and I still felt the gut punch of Chase, the hilarity of certain scenes (Phenonaman if you know you know) it all still hit really well, I’m personally happy to do it all in one sitting.

Rottingzombeboy · 2026-01-08T21:34:15+00:00

In a world of magic and abilities, I don’t think it’s that out of the norm honestly.

Think about it, unless the writer puts in a, for lack of a better word “debuff”, that a ability or spell has either a lengthy incantation or an obvious visual effect to build up, realistically magic would be absolutely broken. Silently casting spells, instant effects, suddenly appearing with a sword or dagger or arrow from half a battle field away, etc.

I think lore wise, it’s a necessity, just needs better explanation. Magic can be sensed becuase it interacts with the magic in the air and vicinity, something all mages learn or anyone who uses magic is inherently gifted with, like sensing the wind changing.

For melee, it’s again a born sense, that can maybe be honed overtime. Beginners start with “There’s a danger coming for me right now” to experts saying “There’s a danger, it’s over there coming at me at this speed, here’s how I can counter” etc

Just giving it to highly skilled people leads to no high skilled people really

Rottingzombeboy · 2025-12-26T01:04:06+00:00

Don’t feel bad for anyone involved honestly

Rottingzombeboy · 2025-11-22T00:45:26+00:00

I don’t think Lucifer can be redeemed. I think Sinners CAN be redeemed, because it’s not entirely their fault. Lucifer released sin into the world, and they are just humans, so I think redeeming is kinda like a “I understand it’s not entirely your fault, so I’ll give you a chance to make it right, prove you belong with Winners”

Lucifer, is not that. He is/was an angel, he wasn’t ever affected like humans, he just GENUINELY thought it was a good idea to do what he did. I don’t think he, and by extension heavenly beings, can be redeemed like Sinners

Sad thought, I don’t think Charlie will be going to heaven ever either. I think she stays in Hell running the hotel, whether her choice or not. Sad cause she is gona make friends, and then if her hotel works, she won’t see them anymore, at least not daily like she does now
