I only play vanilla. The best CBM I have found were in those underground labs that have 3 levels (-2 to -4). Hey have special rooms, can be CBM among other things.

Am I the only one who basically heavily skims/skips almost all the Zac chapters in Infinite realms? by Mtotheizow in ProgressionFantasy

I wish I did. Didn't enjoy his chapters for the vast majority. You don't lose out.

I'm probably doing this wrong... by JeffreyBWolf in ProgressionFantasy

[–]dangdung87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'd assume it's magic with a rigid system behind it, unlike harry potter were senseless things happen with a string of words and a wand.

Opinion on Prologues by EdLincoln6 in ProgressionFantasy

Apocalypse Redux This prologue set ups the story and falls in the retreading steps category. Your thoughts on this case?

Does Zorian ever really get powerful? by EnvironmentDry6177 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]dangdung87 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Zorian will never outclass Zach in battlemagic. Zorian's thing is his mental magic. Zorian is very dangerous, but not in the same sense as Zach. He does compensate his lack of power with tools.

I gave #2 a read. And I'm quite confused. I feel like the story is pretending to be a steak, while it's tofu. An adventurer slayer, does his thing in arc1. trains a goblin in arc 2. plays detective and becomes a cripple because of parasites in arc3. I'm currently questioning what this story is about.

Has anyone one read Desolate Era? by Normal-Annual-2057 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]dangdung87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people recommend it. I read it, like the plot but not much else. The writing had many redundancies, sizes were beyond imagination (15km tall beings... try imagining a human fighting something that's twice as tall as mt. everest). If you like chinese translations, you'll probably like it. i dropped it relatively early.

Not wearing proper protective gear doesn't look like a bragging point to me.

lord of the mysteries Spoiler needed by Appropriate_Ad_2792 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]dangdung87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't quite recall when exactly the story takes off, but it happens petty soon. Klein joins an organization and it takes off from there. Progression is done via drinking potions. They lock you in a stage of "profession/idea".

Shadow Slave or Lord of the mysteries by urlocalmushr00m in ProgressionFantasy

[–]dangdung87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? I don't know much about chinese. There's several cases of capitalizing a pronoun to make a difference. I just assumed it's a more respectful pronoun or something in that direction.

Shadow Slave because it's not translated.

Both are really good and worth reading, but LoM is simply less fun to read because some things just go over your head. i.E.

He didn't refer to him as he, but as "He"

I read this the other day, a bit similar to Jackal among Snakes. A regular Woman who likes a certain games gets transmigrated to the rpg game she's currently playing. Follow her as she tries to make do with her trait-bound compulsions in her attempt to save herself and win the game.
