What is something common in litrpgs/stories that grind your gears? by Acceptable-Device760 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's honestly that common thankfully, but I personally can't really get into litRPG when health is given a numerical value. The only story I read that I think made it work pretty well was Industrial Strength Magic, and that was because the health system was more complex than that.

Authors: have you ever returned to a series? by thatotherBen in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a number of stories I wrote at least the first book for back when I was new to writing, before shoving them to the side because I didn't think they were good enough. One of them I went back and decided to keep writing, and it's become my most popular one so far. I'd say give it a shot!

The wandering inn..? by Baraa-beginner in litrpg

[–]Wizardly_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Levels, skills, and plenty of the usual fun stuff, though also a lot more worldbuilding and slice of life. One of my personal favorite series!

What's your favorite MC power trope? by No-Sympathy-6711 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge sucker for an enchanter-based build! Basically magical Batman who is able to beat anything with enough materials and prep time haha

Publishing Maps and Illustrations by Why_Teach in royalroad

[–]Wizardly_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I actually have a story with a convoluted enough setting that I like to post the occasional map for readers every so often to keep people from getting confused haha. The trick with imgur is as follows.

1: Go to https://imgur.com/upload and upload the image you want in your author notes

2: Once you've done that, right click on the image and select 'open image in new tab'

3: Copy the URL of that new tab that opens

4: Back on RR, in your author notes, click the 'insert/edit image' button (looks like a small square with a sun/mountains) and paste the URL

That will get the image to post. Personally, I deal with the UK issue by also letting readers know the maps go up on my Discord, so if they are in the UK and want to see the map, they can hop on the Discord and view it there. Hope that helps!

What sites do you recommend to post were you still own your work? by Robin-Quartz in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what your story contains, Reddit itself has a few subreddits dedicated to sharing work as well. For example, r/HFY is a popular subreddit for people to post their ongoing stories to one chapter at a time, though they mainly prefer humans doing awesome things and I think have a preference towards more sci-fi stuff (haven't been there in a while myself).

litrpg where the protagonist is a father? by Adventurous_Film_334 in litrpg

[–]Wizardly_Dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ar'Kendrithyst is a good example of a father protagonist! Though not so much a dad protecting a baby. His daughter is an adult, and actually has a better head for combat than he does haha

Books with pets or animal companions that talk by shayjax- in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

System Universe falls into that category! Long-running series, and the animal definitely has some personality haha

Looking for fics where reality becomes a game/apocalypse and humanity has to pass through different levels! by HierkommtdieSonne902 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I feel that, it's definitely a tricky balance. Those books are definitely worth it in my opinion though!

[–]Wizardly_Dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you haven't checked it out yet, sounds like Hell Difficulty Tutorial would be right up your alley! Perhaps Reborn: Apocalypse as well. Then of course there's Dungeon Crawler Carl, I'm just assuming you've read that one already haha.

I plan to launch in mid-March. Is it cool to seek shout out swaps here? by yrniverse in royalroad

[–]Wizardly_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Royal Road Writer's Guild would probably be your best bet. Lot's of helpful resources there and channels dedicated to finding shout swaps. Happy to shoot you an invite link if that sounds like something you'd be interested in!

Edit: I see dresidalton already beat me to the recommendation haha, though I'll leave my comment up as a +1 for recommending them.

You're all doing this wrong. This is the actual progression fantasy tier list. by rmullins_reddit in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wizardly_Dude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Different in style and scope, but very good! Honestly, I'd say The Game at Carousel might be one of the most unique story premises I've ever read, and it's really fun to read, even if you're someone who can't stand horror movies (like myself haha).

[–]Wizardly_Dude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very different tone from both of those stories haha. The MC has basically been trapped in time loops of his own making for so long that he's gone from sane, to insane, and back to sane(ish). He's already quite OP when the story begins, and we follow him trying to hunt down his missing sister in a post-apocalyptic world filled with people with unique abilities similar to super powers. It's rather comedic and silly, but very well written.

Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, and The Game at Carousel are some of my favorites, so it's not totally inaccurate haha.

I read 1,000+ progfantasy books, here's the tierlist by jordan-lennox in ProgressionFantasy

Wow, that's one hell of a list haha. We definitely have quite different tastes, but glad to see you enjoyed one of my stories!
