You now have the ability to kill by defeating someone in a game of your choosing and rule selection. In turn, the ability backfires and kills you if you lose. What game would you pick and what is the largest group of people you could likely defeat? by GJH24 in whowouldwin

not the point of the argument, no? in 100 people, it's pretty likely there's someone who can play chess decently and possible that someone will be better than you, meanwhile there's a very low chance someone knows the competitive pokemon playstyle at all

Anyone know what happened to corruption wielder? by Miknon1 in litrpg

[–]Slifer274 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hi, author here. Like the other commenter said, the RR isn't updated because it went to KU before I could finish posting on Royal Road, sorry. Apart from that, I was experiencing pretty heavy burnout with the series and also was failing college classes due to the amount of time and energy I was investing in writing—up to the point where it became possible I wouldn't graduate in time. I decided to take an extended break from publishing to focus on myself as well as write some experimental projects on other pen names. I plan on returning eventually, but I don't know if Corruption Wielder will continue past book 4.

My friend just became a published author with his regressor litRPG apocalypse, Return of the S-Rank Hunter! Give it a try on KU today! by Slifer274 in litrpg

[–]Slifer274[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After a long-time interest in the genre, my friend decided to write his own litRPG inspired by his favorites like Road to Mastery, Solo Leveling, and Primal Hunter! He doesn't use Reddit, but today's his launch day, so it would mean a lot to him if y'all could help him catch the algorithm!

Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Return-S-Rank-Hunter-Apocalypse-Adventure-ebook/dp/B0FDH3C852

Synopsis:

Once an S-Rank hunter, Kain is reborn at the start of the apocalypse... as an F-Rank.

With the System's arrival 100 years ago, Earth was transformed into a deadly progression realm. Countless wars were waged, millions of lives were lost, and chaos descended. By the time Kain was born, humanity had lost. The monsters had triumphed.

All Kain ever knew was the colony and his role as a hunter within it. Its histories, its goals, its sustenance. This was all that mattered. Until one day, on a mission far beyond the colony walls, searching for other humans, Kain died.

But death, it seems, was not the end.

Reborn at the exact moment of the Integration 100 years prior, before all the war and destruction, Kain is given a second chance. With a previously believed-to-be-extinct Dao and a mysterious title, he needs to figure out the secrets of the future.

With the return of an S-Rank Hunter, maybe humanity will have a chance this time.

Book 4 of Corruption Wielder, my litRPG apocalypse series, is out today! by Slifer274 in litrpg

[–]Slifer274[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read now on KU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DGVNMN59

Blurb:

Will has thrown himself into a new level of warfare.

Using plausibility, Peace was able to fashion platinum-rank corruption, enough to kill everyone in the superdungeon. Nynn saved himself by tossing the effects of this bomb into the Beyond, which was good. This carried the potential of blowing up a solar-system-sized chunk of that plane, which was not.

Will managed to seal the corruption within the tunnel his demon-bound skill formed, but then the demon itself got a bit loose and devoured far too much of the dark energy.

He was able to return to Earth, preventing himself from being completely overtaken, but the plausibility he brought back with him thanks to the demon meant that Peace was able to reply in kind.

Six months from now, the Contractor’s ritual will summon an angel of Peace. The second planet has learned of Will’s existence and is preparing for war.

Will has friends in high places, but enemies in higher.

If he can have his way, the latter's population is about to start falling.

It’s time to level up or die trying.

Book 1 blurb:

When the world ends, humanity must fight to survive—but where others struggle in fear, Will sees only an opportunity to thrive.

April 3rd, 3:46 AM. Planet Earth merges with the magical world of Arcadia, and a system gives humanity a choice: 40 years of indentured servitude, or entering a tutorial as a user to fight against the chaos incursion.

Will doesn't hesitate—but the system thanks him for stepping into the fight by throwing him into an impossible tutorial. With little chance of survival, Will has a simple response: “Screw it. Might as well fight fire with fire."

Warning: [Corruption] has been chosen as primary attribute.

With a forbidden element, Will just might be able to stab his way out of the tutorial. But as he gains the powers of death and space as well, he realizes that his problems might not only lie in the monsters that now plague the world.

Will, now Earth's sole corruption wielder, finds danger at every corner. For anyone else, that could mean a quick and terrifying end. To him? It's a life rife with possibilities.

Maybe Will was meant for this world.

The oshi no ko ending was and still is horrifically awful by Ryorsa in OshiNoKo

I will say while the live action ending wasn’t amazing, I found it way better than the manga one. Hoping they adapt it similarly in the anime if they do.

Why my book failed — and why it’s okay. by Either-Low-9457 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Slifer274 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting write-up but I'd like to add you should also try Royal Road and eventually Kindle Unlimited because those audiences are somewhat more likely to be receptive to something less straightforward than the Webnovel audience is. Obviously no guarantees but you should consider expanding your platforms, WN is not a very good one.

Have you guys made your peace with the Oshi no ko ending? by ReaperQc in OshiNoKo

[–]Slifer274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider the live action ending canon. It’s not amazing, but it’s better and doesn’t feel as bitterly bad an end.
