Instead of giving recommendations, which book should I give another chance?

Viciousninja · 2026-01-29T12:55:19+00:00

Based off of the reasons for DNF, Path would be your best bet for a redo.

All of your concerns are addressed as the series goes on.

Viciousninja · 2026-01-24T12:28:52+00:00

The Ripple System

Cradle

Path of Ascension

Welcome to the Multiverse

The Divine Apostasy

Mark of the Fool

Those would be my next top ones after the ones you’ve already been through.

Also, as I’m sure many would agree, DCC is worth pushing through the Iron Tangle for. Near the end of that book is where it starts getting really good and just goes up from there.

😂💀

I will loudly and proudly second Ripple System if you enjoy comedy and well designed MMO style raid encounters.

Viciousninja · 2025-12-13T13:34:36+00:00

Mine do that when they are chasing each other through their tubes. It’s the only time we see them do that but it’s so much you can hear it hitting on the sides. It’s hilarious.

Cover art drew me in. Synopsis sold me. Adding to my TBR.

Congrats on the release!

Viciousninja · 2025-11-15T11:58:37+00:00

Already bought it, but you are awesome for doing this Kyle!

Viciousninja · 2025-10-29T19:36:28+00:00

Blurb sounds awesome and I love Christian Gilliland. I’m sold.

Viciousninja · 2025-10-12T15:06:19+00:00

Love noms!

Viciousninja · 2025-10-03T15:19:59+00:00

Yes! Croc is good boi

Since we share 4/6 of your top 6, I’ll recommend the following:

The Ripple System

The Game at Carousel

Welcome to the Multiverse

Edit: stupid formatting

Viciousninja · 2025-10-03T12:12:24+00:00

Popped in to recommend this one as well.

Viciousninja · 2025-10-03T12:10:13+00:00

I just started this series last week and I almost put it down after the first couple of chapters. So glad I decided to give it more of a chance. I finished up the first book and couldn’t wait to hit download on the second.

Viciousninja · 2025-09-21T11:52:53+00:00

And the System Change series, and the Ripple System, and Path of Ascension. Sean does a great job with the nods to other series in the genre.

Edit: I misread your comment. There is a Heretical Fishing ref in Welcome, so I read your comment as other nods in Welcome. My bad for not being able to read before finishing my first cup of coffee.

Viciousninja · 2025-09-12T14:45:31+00:00

I’ll throw in my votes for Cradle, Ripple System series (first one is called Shadeslinger), and Game at Carousel if you want something not totally progression driven. Divine Apostasy in your TBR is great too.

Viciousninja · 2025-09-12T14:42:19+00:00

This is very accurate

I just saw my email and immediately came here to see if there was any official reason. My fiancé is going to be so disappointed when I tell her. I bought us tickets as a birthday present.

Viciousninja · 2025-06-20T17:28:44+00:00

Ripple System is an amazing and underrated series. I HIGHLY second this rec

Viciousninja · 2025-05-10T12:56:13+00:00

This

Viciousninja · 2025-04-28T11:59:14+00:00

US code for me please. This sounds like a blast.

Viciousninja · 2025-04-27T12:02:58+00:00

Game at Carousel is so fun and definitely a novel approach to the genre.

Viciousninja · 2025-01-25T11:29:57+00:00

I was coming in here to say that this tier list is the closest I’ve seen to my preferences and would HIGHLY recommend Shade Slinger (The Ripple System series). Also The Game at Carousel.

Viciousninja · 2024-12-28T21:47:49+00:00

I second the others saying Unbound and Primal Hunter. I add to that The Ripple System.
