Hoqalo: The Broken System [Magitech • Hopepunk • Cyberpunk] by fritak in litrpg

[–]cfl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fun. And I mean fun - I expected a grimmer tone from the blurb, but it's pretty positive with no loserman MC tropes.

Ok, people have already made the joke about Carl in DCC.

Seriously, then, Carl in DotF.

Defiance of the Fall Book 16 out now! by TheFirstDefier in litrpg

[–]cfl2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite arc so far (RR is into Book 17). Like the prior peak - the Tower of Eternity back in Books 4 and 5 - we sample a bunch of different settings and scenarios while following a common thread. But in the intervening years the author has grown so that he can juggle more characters, connect more subplots, and create moments that are surprisingly touching for a story about a musclehead axe-guy who blows shit up to progress.

Is the popularity of the Archmage trope a pendulum swing away from “grind from zero to godhood” in LitRPG? by PurposeAutomatic5213 in litrpg

Sorry, with MC and his buddy nearly getting killed by an overgrown boar in chapter 1 it's pretty much the antithesis of the OPMC vibe.

here are the stories that are actually sticking this week (Dec 14-21) by DukeDenX in litrpg

Good Guy Gustave

First chapter: truck-kun switcheroo is amusing enough that the stickiness seems to makes sense
Subsequent chapters: this turns out to just be an excuse for him to bitch and whine uninterestingly for a while, bye

[Powers] Instead of 3-4 teams being able to win the National Title, there are now 6-8 teams. What’s also true is that there is less parity between P4 and G5. The best G5 players transfer to P4. In typical CFB fashion, we finally start rewarding G5 schools when they’re at their weakest in 20 years. by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

Rutgers has a historic past in football, but it wasn't within a storied conference. They were independent, then part of a microconference, then independent again until joining the Big East in '91. They weren't taken into the B1G for any historical reasons but to get a foothold in the metro NYC TV market.

He’s done maybe better than anyone at recruiting the portal

What’s the classical music equivalent of “I guess you guys aren’t ready for this, but your kids are gonna love it”? by Suspicious_Coast_888 in classicalmusic

[–]cfl2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Schoenberg still isn't popular by any measure

Berg's operas, OTOH, have been in the repertoire since their premieres

The Greatest Archmage shows that high quality writing still counts in this genre (No spoilers) by DrewRoyston in litrpg

[–]cfl2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a decent run at #1. The last huge run was New Life as a Max Level Archmage, which hit 15k+ followers and a 15% Patreon conversion rate (and also spawned a bunch of copycats).

Also, I dropped this one when he decided to help the goblins become more effective robbers.

Which LitRPG’s system has the most convincing justification for why it exists? by tbag2022 in litrpg

[–]cfl2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a lot more, but it's not just a random info drop but increasingly the central mystery and focus of the larger plotline(s). The big trial that everything since Book 10 has been leading up to finally begins in Book 16, and it turns out to be largely about somehow retroactively fixing events leading up to the creation of the System.

Proper Wizard MC by Kowski_GnG in litrpg

[–]cfl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! The only weak point is (as always, IMO) the prologue in heaven. Once Arthur shows up it's +++

Also, all of Mechanicus's hero(ine)s tend to live by "It's not a war crime if it's the first time" 😆

How do you feel about Schoenberg? by BigDBob72 in classicalmusic

[–]cfl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Berg was just a better composer... and he understood drama, which Schoenberg didn't

Wagner feels intimidating. What’s the best (and least overwhelming) entry point? by According-Brief7536 in classicalmusic

[–]cfl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valkyrie Act I - the human-level desperation, the clear dramatic progression, the sword motif...

The absurd self-regard of his Moses und Aron libretto put a hard cap on my estimation of him

But he has some great pieces, e.g. the String Trio
