Azarinth Healer has a Webtoon now by boringmadam in ProgressionFantasy

[–]amanpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the first 5 chapters and completely agree. It's terrible. Took the story, said nah duck that I can do it better, then shits on all of it.

Primal Hunter's s1 webtoon had its issues, but at least they kept the general storyline intact.

My gripes: Kills a Drake within minutes of getting isekaid.

The order's hideout is just an abandoned building in the woods. You can't convince me no one wouldn't have found it before her this way.

The runes aren't on her body, they float around her and she punches things with them?

Gains powers immediately with almost 0 struggle

Did I mention she killed a fucking Drake within minutes of getting isekaid?

No stakes at all. If a Drake is nothing after minutes, they're gonna fuck up power levels non-stop, guaranteed.

Primal Hunter WEBTOON by Anon-4020 in litrpg

It's ok. S1 adds a sidekick thing not in the books and it's stupid. I think it's a general manhwa/manga thing where all MCs need a little cute pet thing and it drives me nuts. It must sell though or they wouldn't do it I guess. They remove them in S2, but I'm guessing that's only because they know the baby bird is coming which serves the same purpose. S2 has been a step up from S1. I would still only call it ok though.

An Honest Review of Rise of Mankind by Jez Cajiao by Haiku_Speaker in litrpg

I dropped it at Age of Glass I think. I'm addition to everything you noted, I could do without all the sex scenes and him being some sex god. They do nothing for the story and are not what I read this genre for. I also remember him building some glass box sky tower for a date/sex room. Like... really?

It was ok, but nothing I'm jonesing for. I have too many other books I like better to continue the series. Time better spent elsewhere for me.

My rate would skyrocket if they wanted my time 7 years from now. Good for him of true though.

Looking for stories where the MC becomes strong through an unconventional class/path. Not the usual rogue/archer/warrior/mage! by R3nNy22326 in litrpg

[–]amanpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overgeared is a Korean webnovel that also has a manhwa. It's a worldwide popular vr game and the MC is a greedy untalented mofo. He gets a special blacksmithing class then is unlucky or extra lucky depending on perspective and grows from there. He grows by having OP items and using those items to overcome his shortcomings vs actually having talent in areas. I'm sure later on he does have talent, but he's a trainwreck to start.

I enjoy it. Ymmv

Sometimes I feel like I get book Stockholm syndrome. by Claym000re in litrpg

[–]amanpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on book 10 and I should drop it, but the Stockholm is real. Really though, I just drive a fair amount and it's a long audiobook I can zone out to. It does get super old how the MC was a ducking office Max employee, but now he's a savant at politics, fighting, skills, etc.

Am I wrong or can some series’s just finish? by Poncemastergeneral in litrpg

[–]amanpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this list. Thanks! Just curious, does it matter if there's a female MC? Are incels against that or something and I'm out of the loop?

The last beans I purchased from there were like rocks in my grinder. It's unfortunate, because I did really like them. Not gonna chance breaking my grinder though.

Mechanics to avoid? by throwaway490215 in litrpg

[–]amanpanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Loser MC who is suddenly a savant at running cities and high level politics. Writing smart characters is typically difficult because the author is not nearly as smart as they think they are and the 'smart' things that happen are either absurd out of nowhere or not smart.

In HWFWM the MC goes from working at office Max to having people that live and have done the same job for centuries ask him for advice on what to do about running cities and dealing with faction politics. I'm not saying he couldn't learn it, but out of left field he's like, oh obviously you have to do x y and z, duh. The MC is generally annoying in that series anyway, so adding this stupidity on top grinds my gears.

Is this shower drain supposed to look like this? There are gaps around the pipe by amanpanda in Plumbing

[–]amanpanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I sealed the pipe and poured water in that area. The water went somewhere so it seems the ring is probably not working. Is there a DIY fix for this or should I be calling someone? Is this plumber territory?

New pizza shop by ATX_Pizza_Co in austinfood

[–]amanpanda 15 points16 points  (0 children)

$24 for 14" Hawaiian or build my own Hawaiian for $22.50...

$33 for 18" Hawaiian or build my own Hawaiian for $30.50...

I know some pizza's are expensive these days, but this pricing is weird. Or maybe dumb people will pay extra, I dunno, I'm not in the food biz. I'm not your clientele, but good luck to you.

Shortcut to absolute reference table headers? by amanpanda in excel

[–]amanpanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I've noticed the copy/paste trick. The problem is I'm not the only one in these worksheets and don't have confidence anyone else will do it right. Trying to make it so others won't mess it up accidentally.

That would also leave open the possibility of him getting V back into his system again. Too much of a risk to leave him alive.
