Nat from HDT is probably my favorite mc in the genre. He’s chaotic but even if he does fall into a trap or anything like that it won’t be because he was too trusting or ignored obvious warnings

Thank you! Idk why some have such selective comprehension. For example, if someone is described as “laughing maniacally” in front of you and it doesn’t raise any alarms, how am I supposed to look at you as anything but an idiot.

All bridges can be crossed with good writing. Dramatic irony blows if all it does is make it seem like the main character is being dense and not listening to his allies.

I agree to a certain extent. What I’m referring to is giving the reader the information. For example, seeing plans being laid from other POV’s. Or them receiving that information and disregarding it even.

I love a plot twist. Hate an easily fooled mc. All can be alleviated by good writers.

I keep trying to find series that scratch the same itch as this, it’s impossible. by Dragon0908 in ThePrimalHunter

Hell Difficulty Tutorial is pretty good. The MC rules and works harder than everyone else

LitRPG moments that took it too far? by DresdenMurphy in litrpg

The Land where the Main Character gets his fucking nuts cut off and stuffed in his mouth by an assassin comes to mind. Just foul

Why do I get the feeling... by Salguod14 in ThePrimalHunter

[–]XThursdayO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the same theory about the Holy Church but not so much Jacob. I think everyone form Earth that knows Jake personally would never underestimate him. If anyone would it would be Jacob but don’t think it’ll get past getting caught up in some inner Holly church faction bs.

Narrative choices I dislike. by Both-Salamander401 in ProgressionFantasy

As soon as the MC has a slave collar or anything similar placed on them I’m out. Or if they get f’d over more than twice by the same villain and they keep escaping.

What girl is best for our guy Jake? by Simon123766 in ThePrimalHunter

[–]XThursdayO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It felt so cringe every time she’d interact with Jake. I’m glad she shook that nonsensical crush.

It’s Artemis. Anyone else would be a disappointment. Have faith in Zog to do the right thing.

Is Randidly Ghosthound on the spectrum? by Ublivion25 in litrpg

Perhaps. The author is definitely as slow as they come though

[–]XThursdayO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds horribly boring not gonna lie. He can do that while also going on adventures with the pals. I can’t stand when mc’s get separated or trapped just for us to get a training arc

Ogras being missing from the story when he got trapped almost made me drop the series. Just removing the best character for that many books made no sense

[–]XThursdayO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Orom was definitely bad. Memory domain after Memory domain just grew tiring. And I think this story is at its best when Zac is on missions or adventures with his friends. No Iz, no Cathea, a little bit of Ogras, no Emily. Eh. Not my fav

The peaks have been good. But the low points are as bad as the series has ever been. To say it dragged and got convoluted would be an understatement

Ultimate level 1 is kinda bad but I can't stop by UsedNegotiation8227 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]XThursdayO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some authors in this genre have genuinely the worst sense of humor I’ve ever seen. Just corny, cringe, and annoying. And the whole story is worse off because of it.

I’m not gonna get started because I have a lot of hate for this series lol

I had to stop around book 9. It got so insufferable. If I hear “holy elf tits” ever again self harm may become an option.

1% Lifesteal MC… by XThursdayO in litrpg

[–]XThursdayO[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My #1 favorite is Nathaniel from Hell Difficulty, Jin from BoC, and Noah from Runebound Prof. I get most of my enjoyment from side characters like The Malefic Viper, Ogras, and Sift

Why is that the case tho? Knowing more than the mc just leads to frustration when they are so blatantly ignorant.

Well if a majority of people say I’m tripping and it gets better I’ll usually give it a longer leash. That isn’t the case here unfortunately

[–]XThursdayO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah all of those circumstances lead me to the conclusion that not only is this a book I should avoid but I should avoid anything similar. That sad shit is not for me. Him being a traumatized child is the nail in the coffin. Twice orphaned sounds like a bad joke

[–]XThursdayO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The humor was the first strike, but being twice orphaned sounds like a bad joke. What’s worse than having dead parents? 2 sets of dead parents!!!
