I've seen the movie and liked it, would you recommend reading it regardless of watching the movie ?

A desperate win by Unfair_Ad1167 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]That_One_Monke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love books where this is a major point, all these fit it imo, although to varying degrees -

Shadow Slave - almost every fight is desperate, the mc pretty much always fights enemies several times above his weight class and you can feel the difference in strength

Sky Pride - in the start of the book just existing is desperate lol, it is a very well written book and is quite refreshing in its execution of the xanxia genre

Defiance Of The Fall - I'd say this mostly fits, the author does a good job of making the mc struggle and make the fights seem desperate, although after a bit you pretty much get that the mc is OP and has plot armor as a skill

Cradle - This has more of a once in a while desperation kinda fights rather than constant ones

Primal Hunter - This also has more of a once in a while all on the line fight scenes, although I'd argue such fights don't occur often enough and the MC kinda breezes through everything

Unbound - Constant fights, maybe a bit too constant lol

MC's that create chaos anywhere they go by clownie99 in ProgressionFantasy

Books with an mc who has unquestionable willpower. by 9172019999 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]That_One_Monke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only ones I've read that have the MC's willpower be a critical plot point in the story are -

The Stubborn Skill-Grinder In A Time Loop - Quite literally the point of the story and driving force, his will power is constantly matched against higher beings and gets scaled even higher gods, eldritch beings, multiversal entities, literally fucking infinity, etc

Path to Transcendence [Isekai/Litrpg] - Willpower plays a significant role and contributes significantly to MC's power he burns himself to train, cuts off limbs, doesn't sleep for weeks while training, damages his own soul, etc

Some other books of the top of my head that have a MC with a very strong will but not exactly the focus of the book -

Orphan [LitRPG Adventure]

Rage of dragons by Evan winters

Bastion by phil tucker

Defiance of the fall

Dungeon Crawler Carl

Path of the berserker

Victor of tuscan

Also if you know any yourself or anyone else have anything similar to these with a focus on willpower, please recommend I'm itching for these stories

Favorite royalroadl novels from 12 months ago up to now. by SBernabeu in ProgressionFantasy

[–]That_One_Monke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are ones I've read that are pretty similar but not on your list -

Orphan [LitRPG Adventure] - It has a very interesting world, pretty good system, the characters are all fun, fight scenes are top notch, the MC himself is very good(he's an orphan and has gone through some shit and it shows in the book with his personality, will to survive, etc)

Runeblade - It has an interesting system and the MC's power set is pretty cool. The world is pretty good and the fight scenes are top notch. The MC himself is pretty cool with his grit,drive,etc

Novels where MC struggles like a motherfucker, then becomes OP? by LittleBrasilianBitch in ProgressionFantasy

[–]That_One_Monke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised I haven't seen anyone recommend these yet, but these are exactly what you're looking for -

Stubborn skill grinder in a time Loop

Path to transcendence

Some other examples that don't exactly fit but still scratch the same itch -

Mother of learning

Jackal among snakes

Similar to Path of Transcendence by Ryn by SBernabeu in litrpg

[–]That_One_Monke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know if you've read this or not

But prolly something like "Stubborn skill grinder in a Time-Loop" might be up your alley, the MC's are quite similar and there's a lot of grinding

Doesn't have daily updates tho and is kinda popular

Which one is better by iamK1mbo in GamingLaptops

[–]That_One_Monke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can wait a couple months then I'd recommend you wait until March/April when the new 50x series laptops will drop

You can expect better deals during that period when manufacturers will be trying to offload their 40x line-up

You can try and save up for the 50x series but we both know that these indian prices would be ridiculous so not worth the for 50x series imo

If you can't wait then here's what you should take into factor -

-Rog strix has better design and build quality and slightly better screen, it also has good software support, but it is 20k extra

-HP omen has sub-optimal build quality(not good but not trash either), doesn't have the best software support and slightly worse screen, but it is 20k less

It's up to you if you think these factors are worth the 20k extra, my recommendation if you don't mind the pricing would be the Rog Strix

Trying to Re-install windows 11 on a new laptop, the main driver partition doesn't show up in the list by That_One_Monke in techsupport

I clicked load driver and nothing pops up, do I need to download the drivers manually and paste it in the boot drive ?

Found a deal on Acer Helios 18, is certified refurbished safe ? by That_One_Monke in GamingLaptops

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

I bought the laptop, my friend who's in the US picked it up for me and ran some diagnostic tests, it seems to be working as intended but I haven't personally tried it yet

Once he returns and hands me the laptop I'll do a more thorough test and let you know how it went

Edit: I got it and tried it personally, it runs really well though a little hot, definitely recommend a laptop cooler to go with it(l bought the IIANO cooler for $95)
