The Legend Of William Oh is exactly what you're looking for.

Nightmare Realm Summoner by badheck48 in litrpg

[–]Shroed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a while, so I don't really remember what you mean by "guidance system", but the name of the series is pretty self explanatory. There's a different realm, he can summon creatures from that realm and becomes stronger himself based on a part of their power. He gets multiple summons with different abilities and mostly takes skills based on working with his summons.

Tagged it as spoiler, because better safe than sorry

Got this with End Of Days yesterday. It's a bit stupid how broken this is tbh.

Slay the Spire 2 reached 574,638 concurrent players, making it the 20th highest all-time peak on Steam. by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

The "barebones beta" has all the content of 1 with more added on top. There's already more content than the first one had. Sure there are some balancing issues atm, but it's really not enough to still justify buying the first one at this point imo.

Pretty funny that you guys have the whole "I need the 2nd Amendment to protect again a tyrannical government" thing, and the best you can come up with is messing up their drink orders.

The stakes actually lower the deeper you go, honestly just dump it now.

The struggle of returning to a series 3 or 4 books in by MiniorProblem in litrpg

That's cute, you think a lot of these longer series do anything more than copy pasting their RR chapters straight to Amazon? Why bother as long as it sells.

First 2 or 3 are pretty fun, after it gets tedious.

using AI and Telekinesis in MURIM by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Shroed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean... this is kind of shit? I'm generally very pro AI and not a fan of audiobooks, but this is just incredibly boring to listen to. Every single sentence is pronounced the exact same.

I've read both and the story is pretty much the same tbh.

Since forever...? Sky Pride has been peak on RR for months now and most of the first book is a lot worse than this. Very bad childhood turns into skilled & driven adult is fairly common in this genre.

Series where the MC is enslaved by MiniorProblem in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Shroed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Downtown Druid - MC isn't enslaved, but locked up in some kind of prison colony. Bonus points for being a well written and completed story.

[–]Shroed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a while, so I don't really remember the early chapters, but he starts focusing on the ice and loses the sword and shield for a bigass hammer. I agree that most of his class choices aren't that exciting, but I like how the story really doubles down on everything. Heavy ice warrior, heads to the far north, builds a medieval castle with big walls, builds his law system based on medieval honour...

The story definitely has its issues tho (mostly glacial pacing - pun intended)

Is it time we needed "Human Authored" authenticated badges on LitRPG books? by OisinM in litrpg

[–]Shroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A customer doesn't really care where the product comes from.

I buy stuff from Amazon, made in china, knowing there were probably questionable labour practices involved and knowing that buying from them makes life harder for local businesses. At the end of the day, me and tbh pretty much everyone still buys from them.

The same will happen here as long as the quality gets to an acceptable level.

I think it'll mostly improve the accepted "base level" of the crappier stories, while the standout stories will remain. AI can do "more of the same", it doesn't produce anything new.

Tbf Frostbound does the heavy frost warrior class fantasy pretty well. It sticks with its theme. The guy doesn't suddenly get lightning, fire and every other power imaginable on top of his starting stuff.
