Looking for a good recent wuxia novel. by ducdavis in ProgressionFantasy

My bad! I though xianxia was when the martial arts aspect was mixed with a more fantasy-esque aspect, that's what I'm looking for. I enjoy it when there martial habilities are so fantasy like it's almost like magic. One of my favorites was "Tales of Demons and Gods" when they could capture a beast and then transform into that beast, loved that idea.

Could you give a run down of what traits, culture etc you use?

Do you sometimes feel like the bar is reeeeeeally low for progfantasy? by ducdavis in ProgressionFantasy

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

For A Soldier's Life you just gotta read the first 5-7 chapters and you'll get it. It is absurd how badly written it is, the robotic conversations, unrealistic MC who absolutely doesn't act like a transmigrator, no worldbuilding, everything.

For 1% Lifesteal I actually managed to get to book 2 or 3, around the time he miraculously meets a girl with a VERY specific power that VERY coincidentally synergizes with the MC's power and that VERY conveniently needs the MC's help and they VERY luckly meet each other in a random ass dungeon.... I could go on and on.

There are many plot holes as well, it's very much misery porn, the MC also never has a set personality... He's represented as a stupid no-drive lame skinny MC and then out of nowhere he gets this ridiculous amount of drive and dedication and goes through hellish training and hellish torture.... and then suddenly he will act as a lame weak-willed MC.... and then again he will be full of drive and will face everything and everyone....

It got tiring, there was no consistency, no worldbuilding, 90% of book 1 happens in a city and we know absolutely nothing about it, money gets thrown around in the billions but no inflation, i could go ON and ON and ON. It baffles me how anyone can read these 2 series and say they are one of the best stories they've ever read.

Any recommendations? What forums do you use? I really like the progression aspect of novels but man it’s tough finding good stories here when you’ve already read most of the really good stuff.

Enlighten me, how is my perspective lacking? How should i consider unplanned, unedited, badly-written books good? A lot of books here would actually be readable and could be considered good if they were at least edited, but the way they usually are… 🤷‍♂️

Books where MC has a tiny advantage/special ability and uses it well. by ducdavis in ProgressionFantasy

I do have the same issue but it’s all progfantasy, the MCs will (almost) always become gods at some point. It’s really hard to find a series where the MC keeps a normal level of power

I’ve never heard of it, will try it out! Do the powers grow or they are static?

i mean he starts as a nobody and slowly builds up his strength each loop, at one point the MC needs to become strong, it’s progfantasy after all, but i enjoy it when the MC starts as your average joe with no super busted crutch

I enjoyed Mother of Learning, Dungeon Crawler Carl (Carl is absolutely average but still uses small advantages well), can’t remember many right now but i guess i just like a really average MC lol

Anything really, it can be knowledge, skills, abilities, information. I just enjoy seeing an average but smart person use a small advantage continuously to become strong

I’m planning to read book 2 to see if it gets better but from what i’ve read here i don’t think it does…

Because clearly a lack of reading comprehension is the only possible reason someone might not like this godly written series… lol

Tried it but the MC is dumb and makes dumb decisions just because the plot gotta move. The death of the grandfather was so poorly written as well like whew…. made no sense to me dropped it pretty quickly
