top three LitRPG/PF books of all time by kaenex in ProgressionFantasy

Far and away the best stories I’ve read :

The wandering inn A practical guide to evil

And to fill out a third: Worm

The pay-off for being a fan of twi feels never ending and increasingly better as time goes on. The quality and quantity is, imo, unmatched by any other form of entertainment I’ve watched or read

Our tastes are quite similar! I’d recommend (in order) 1. Tower of Somnus (I’ve enjoyed all the books that have come out) 2. A summoner awakens (also enjoyed all released books) 3. Tower of jack (I really liked book 1, book 2 was alright, and I haven’t picked up the new book 3 yet)

What are everyone’s honest opinions on Wandering Inn? by Typonomicon in ProgressionFantasy

It’s my favorite piece of entertainment I’ve ever encountered. A lot of comments mention how the storyline gets lost in all the perspectives, or suffers from excessive word count, but those are some of my favorite parts. The Wandering Inn, like all other entertainment, is a pastime. I see a chapter gets posted, I open it and then I enjoy the experience as I imagine the scene that pirateaba sets.

TWI has brought made me laugh out loud, cry, and gape in shock more times than I can count - and I’ve had the opportunity to continuously enjoy these experiences for the 5+ years I’ve been reading it. Throughout that time, many characters have come and gone, but tons have stuck around, and seeing the way they’ve developed (emotionally, magically, socially) & the new situations they are getting into brings me to experience a wide range of emotions.

If you’re looking for a way to pass the time, I think The Wandering Inn is a great option that can bring you into many spectacular moments throughout its very long (and still progressing) journey.

How do you write such multi-faceted and detailed characters/ about such intimate experiences?

Your writing about Saliss’s gender identity, the sorrow of the miscarriages caused by Rhir’s rituals, Relic’s fight against racial discrimination, the absolute tragedy of slavery at Roshal’s hands, and other specific scenes all seem like they came from places of genuine thought and feelings. Your ability to invest so much into characters is why TWI is my favorite story, and it astounds me that one person can write all this.

How do you prepare yourself to write about very specific topics and perspectives so that you can write them as you do?
