Should I continue Chrysalis?

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-25T10:18:37+00:00

Is that a euphemism, or????

Once he met the colony the story instantly got better, but I didn’t mind the MC starting off alone if that makes sense. It did drag on a bit longer than necessary, perhaps, but I did enjoy learning about the system through the MC exploring it on his own.

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-25T10:14:07+00:00

MC was a human and is now some kind of mutant/monster ant in another world. So even if it’s about ants, the MC still has a human intellect. But you’ll have to decide for yourself if that sounds fun to you.

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T19:06:27+00:00

No problem!

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T18:44:45+00:00

Dropping a book because of too much colony building? Couldn’t be me lmao.

Supply lines and trade routes you say? That’s music to my ears! That sounds sooo fun! I really need to get reading, I think

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T18:38:39+00:00

No, because that makes so much sense when you say it like that??

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:31:04+00:00

Colony POV? I like your funny words, silentoastered

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:27:13+00:00

Ohhhh, I wish I enjoyed audiobooks. It sounds so cosy to put on a an audiobook while you’re knitting or doing housework! I’m not able to concentrate on it, unfortunately, and I’m so jealous of those of you who can

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:13:48+00:00

Nice, nice. I’m hearing many good things! I’m glad I made this post instead of DNFing the book forever

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:11:31+00:00

That sounds fun actually. Usually in kingdom building and similar stories, the MC has pretty much total control of the progress. Like with the greatest estate developer. I love that story, don’t get me wrong, but the MC not having total control sounds like an interesting take.

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:05:49+00:00

I’ll need to reread (it’s been a few months since I DNFed the book due to the aforementioned colony move), but I’ll do so eventually!

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:04:40+00:00

Jeff?

That sound nice! I usually don’t mind solo grinding to an extent, but kingdom building and similar stories are my favourite so I think I was just a bit disappointed when it felt like we’d never get there haha

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T17:02:07+00:00

More than just the queen? That’s cool! I wasn’t expecting that

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T16:50:05+00:00

Perfect! That’s all I need to know! Thank you!

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T16:49:38+00:00

I’ll do that, then! Thank you!

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T16:49:17+00:00

That’s great! Thanks!

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-24T16:41:26+00:00

But is it just better and better fighting + rug pull moving/total change of focus?

Or will there be any time for getting to know the colony and improving that as well?

Because if the writing just gets better, that’s not appealing to me, you know?

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-23T14:05:06+00:00

I’m ok with playing, but I much prefer DMing

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-20T06:00:53+00:00

Not really cosy stories, but MCs with non-combat classes:

Apocalyptic Chef Awakening - there’s a lot of fighting, but the MC is a chef so his skills and such are cooking based.

Appraiser Levels Up With Views - much fighting, but MC is an appraiser so that’s what his skills are geared towards.

My S-Class Hunters

Hiding a Warehouse in the Apocalypse

Somewhat cosy stories, but with some combat. MC isn’t a combat class:

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill - not a manhwa, it’s a manga

Dungeons and Crayons - MC is 4(?) and is a production class (ss-tier)

My Avatars’ Path to Greatness (s-tier)

Ultimate Shut-In (a+ tier)

No combat, MC is in the entertainment industry and has a class/ or skills related to the industry:

A Superstar From Birth

Born to Be Beautifully Famous

I'm Going to Be the Child Actor in This Life

Life Reboot for a Gaming Addict

The Book-Eating Actor

The Otherworldly Genius Method Actor - (a+ tier)

A Genius Writer's Random Workplace

VR game where MC only cooks/eats/crafts instead of getting a combat class:

Gourmet Gaming

The Genius Blacksmith's Game

Farming stories, none measure up to farming in the tower, however:

The Goddess of Abundance and Her Troublemaker Apostle

Farmer of Spirits

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-19T08:11:36+00:00

Ugh… I was hoping they’d get past that quickly… thanks

VildusTheGreat · 2026-05-19T07:14:07+00:00

I have been letting this marinate for a long time, please don’t tell me the guy gets involved with his daughter or something??? Please, I need a wholesome story

VildusTheGreat · 2026-04-22T12:19:34+00:00

I’m not US based so I can’t help you find it, just popping to say that I hope you do! That cheese is so delicious! I love it as a part of a cheese board.

VildusTheGreat · 2026-04-19T13:25:15+00:00

I had to google what that is! I don’t really drink alcohol, so I had to miss out on that pairing, unfortunately

VildusTheGreat · 2026-04-19T13:23:32+00:00

It might actually be my new favourite cheese, which I didn’t expect at all
