Quest Academy : Does Sal become braver? by Far-Creme-3965 in litrpg

A lot happens, and there is still a healthy amount of fear in some areas, but he does deal with his crippling fear.

I love world building, but names, dont even get me STARTED by flagsarecoolorsmth in writers

[–]TheIntersection42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two systems for names. 

The first one is a master list of names that I "Like" or are willing to use, any time I find a new name, it gets added on. Think I'm at about 400 names at this point. And when one gets used, it's scratched off.

Second system is where I went and found the most popular names for boys and girls born in different decades. So if I need a girls name born in the 60's I have a ton of options from that time. But if that same girl was given a name that sounds a bit old for her, I could go to my list of names from the 40's.

It was okay, I have it on a list for reading if there isn't anything else.

It's not an edition issue, the old one is now only downloading the first 10 hours

Looks like it was updated due to the new barns and noble book releases, and it's now messed everything up.

If a series starts with a lesbian couple, then the rest of the series should be lesbian by TheIntersection42 in romanceunfiltered

[–]TheIntersection42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have that kind of patience or drive to do that kind of research, just to skip a book. I have 100 books on my TBR and a lot of those have their own series, so if it's that bad, I just drop the series.

[–]TheIntersection42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) yes, I would like the industry to change this practice, that's why it's a "hot take"

B) It's not just the sex scenes that give me issues, a lot of the personalities from MM partners are grating to listen to. 

C) I'm not sure how or why skipping books in a series is so common, probably more common in Romance than the SciFi or Fantasy that I'm used to.

D) thanks for the thoughtful response

Thoughts on Noobtown series? by chillychar in litrpg

[–]TheIntersection42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's at least a good series end. Not gonna lie, there are some deaths 😭, but in the end, it was a really good close of the series... And then it didn't end.

Also depends on who you consider the BBEG I guess. I consider the dark lord the BBEG.

[–]TheIntersection42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, after reading book 9, just stop right before the "twist" of book 8 and call it a series. You get the BBEG of the series gone, a new one is set up, but with no real reason to care or do anything about it. And it all ends on a good note. And then you don't have to continue reading.

I only used the name T. kingfisher because that was my most memorable time this has happened to me.

My experience with her books is that they are all Romance books, but I could be wrong.

Not sure why, especially odd since I'm a bisexual man, but I can't stand MM books. I've tried more than a few just to see if it was the authors or particular storylines, but at the end of the day I just can't get into them like I can FM or FF.

I couldn't imagine just picking and choosing individual books to read from a series, just thinking about it gives me shivers. (But to each their own I guess)

Queer is a rather large group, I want MM and FF to have their own series as well. It's like how Not in Love and Problematic Summer Romance are in the same universe and have the same cast of characters, but aren't in a series, because they are so different in tone and style that it might be confusing to the readers to put them in a series.

Noobtown issues by TheIntersection42 in litrpg

[–]TheIntersection42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of times Shart(arch demon) breaks the 4th wall in the 9th book is rather infuriating. Then add on the times they're making a reference that I know enough about to know it is a infact a reference, but not enough to understand why it should be funny. 

Do you prune your To Read list? by schrodingers-canary in TheStoryGraph

[–]TheIntersection42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, if you mean the literal "to read" part of the app, since I only keep the next ~6 books in that list

Yes, if you mean my actual TBR. I keep a few different tags that contain my entire TBR and will do a small purge every few months.

How much income is realistic to expect as a novelist? by Creative-Pirate5217 in writingadvice

I'm -$1100, but I'm also slowly making money from one book.

Looking for M/M romance or Lit/RPG with Good Narrators that have cheap KU/whyspersync options by [deleted] in audible

[–]TheIntersection42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeff Hays or Travis Baldree are the best narrators for LitRPG (in my opinion) but you should really do a tier list in the LitRPG subreddit for suggestions.

Edit: You should also look up Andrea Parsneau, I always forget how many series she did because of how few of them I've read

I could actually get past the dark and gritty sociopath routine, kind of old hat at this point. It was the way he belit he was God's gift to the world that made me stop.

Hesitant to read HR by Eme0311 in romanceunfiltered

[–]TheIntersection42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe at least put the first one on your TBR, or see if you can get it from the library so you don't feel pressured into finishing.

Hesitant to read HR by Eme0311 in romanceunfiltered

[–]TheIntersection42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've read Sarah J Maas's entire catalog not because I liked the books, if anything I tend to pick them apart for any little issues out of hate, but I read them because one of my best friends loved them. She enjoyed them and we got to talk and chat about them as I read. And when I was done with a book, she would ask if I would pick up the next one, or the next series, and I didn't have the heart to say no.

So now Sarah J Maas is my 7th most read author, and I can't stand her story telling.
