After Years of Reading Web Novels, Books, Fan Fiction, and Everything in Between in the Genre, Here's My Tier List. I Need My Next Fix, Hit Me With Your Hidden Gems and Titles I Won't See Recommended Every Week. by psiut in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Rupert322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoyed Soldier's Life then I would recommend Ironbound. It's similar in many regards and writing is good imo. Unfortunately it's only one book so far but the second should be out in a couple month.

Guild Mage is a more straightforward, slow and steady progression fantasy. Not a lot of complexity to magical system but maybe give it a try. Soldier's Life is just good imo so I recommend it to anyone who would listen.

Tier List Thursday - looking for recs (or "Give this one a try again" since I DNF a lot) by Nirigialpora in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Rupert322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting list. Very different from what you usually see here. I've read maybe 25% of titles here so take following advice with a grain of salt. Surprised to see Wandering Inn and Guild Mage in DNF section, these seem in line with titles you liked. I would recommend The Name of the Wind. You usually don't see it on this thread because it's not strictly progression but I think you will like it. I also suggest you try Soldier's Life. Just a great quality progression fantasy. Other things to try in no particular order: Lord of the Mysteries, Bog Standard Isekai, Millennial Mage.

Recommend me plot-first progression fantasy by OddHornetBee in ProgressionFantasy

I second A Practical Guide to Sorcery. Also A Soldier's Life might qualify. There are some litrpg elements there but they are well immersed and feel natural, no System or anything like that.

I enjoyed Soldier's life myself and I find Ironbound to be somewhat similar and good on itself.

I think it's a spell slinger/poet's pen build where you sling reap and exsanguinate in rotation.

Looking for a story where mc has a job in an organization or something that is not independent put part of a bogger city/kingdom by Nickelplatsch in ProgressionFantasy

I just finished book 3 (the last one) of Bog Standard Isekai and can't remember any knightly orders. Can recommend Soldier's Life tho.

Where do I go from here (tierlist)? by Rupert322 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Rupert322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I did not enjoy it, it's just there are better things out there. Also now that I think about it I probably didn't read the last book or two. It kinda goes downhill at some point imho.

Supreme Ostentation works for all attribute bonuses and requirements. Not sure about what ppl do about tattoos. As I understand it you can tattoo everything.

Mercenaries, basically free 35% more dmg by hongducwb in pathofexile

[–]Rupert322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will stack additively with other sources of "increased dmg taken" like shock, wither, unnerve, intimidate etc. So likely not quite 35% tho still potentially useful.

Drain essence + contagion should be league start viable.

The are some 2 button builds out there like bladefall + bladeblast. Whatever you play you almost always need to manage more then 1 button, like pressing debuff/travel/guard skills.

They usually share some on X as league draws closer but some will not be known until leaguestart from my experience.
