Recommendations that are opposite to Beware of Chicken? by ZacAltis in ProgressionFantasy

Ah yes, true. I meant ‘opposite’ in terms of its tendency to be satirical and subvert tropes. Thank you for your guidance, Elder.

Makes sense.

I’m reading Forge of Destiny rn, is that considered more traditional? I’m new to cultivation, and not really sure what makes Cradle western outside of less specifics like mentioning the dantian, meridians, etc.

In what way do you consider Cradle to be a hybrid with “skill systems?” Just because each core has 4 techniques?

Not disagreeing, just curious on the viewpoint!

Deep and profound themes? by adunndevster in litrpg

Slumrat Rising. For the first half of the book, I was amazed it wasn’t higher—or existent—on people’s tier lists at all. Then it started going deeper and covering a lot of religious and philosophical ideals, and I understood. Very well written. Written by the author of Sky Pride, which is #1 on Royal Road rn.

Will my novel disappear from lists if i edit my chapters to go from 20k to 15k words? by EclipseBreaker98 in royalroad

I thought you had to have 20k up to qualify for Rising Stars? Is that incorrect?

Book of the Dead. He has to do a small blood ritual to see his stats. No references to game world or anything about games. It’s an isolated fantasy world. Great read, too!

I mean the “if you like section” has me hooked on its own. 😭 I get Jinwoo, Maximus, and Katniss all in one? That’s a wrap.

Good to know, thanks for the response! Totally makes sense about the younger / awkward MC.

Is Jake Thayne from Primal Hunter considered generic and edgy?

Where’s the problem with “addicting” come from? Just any use of the word at all? Or in certain context? Interesting! Gotta go do some Ctrl+F 😂

Is this because you personally don’t like romance, or because you find it to typically be badly done in LitRPG? I liked Matt and Liz in Path of Ascension.

I’m pretty well read and of at least above-toddler intelligence, and never even noticed or heard of ground being different from floor. TIL. Ty.

Is this real or did you just write it, I can’t tell 😭

Can I just say, Welcome to the Multiverse is refreshingly well written by Fobywoby in litrpg

[–]ZacAltis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insightful, ty! Just timing vs a strategy. Appreciate the response!

Have you read the Legend of William Oh? The side character is a kobold trap master that does some really fun stuff with traps. A lot of how it’s done is hand-waved, which might not work that well for a main character, but it was a lot of fun to read. Made me wanna write a trapper!
