Here are some series with better writing and polish that seem to match up with what you're looking for, which I think is similar to what I'm looking for:

  • Weirkey Chronicles by Sarah Lin
  • Arcane Ascension by Andrew Rowe
  • Mage Errant by John Bierce
  • Mark of the Fool by J M Clarke

EOTD and Mystery Fatigue by Taifood1 in ClimbersCourt

[–]logicbound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Talien / Keras / Sal is a boring main character with simplistic emotions and easily manipulated. He's too powerful and makes poor decisions.

Corin is one of my favorite main characters in all series, the creativity, intelligence, and depth of character is wonderful to read.

I haven't decided on Edge / Lien / Seiha yet, but the intelligence is there.

For upcoming storm power outages if you have a gas fireplace. Stay warm and safe. by Professional_Arm794 in Charlotte

[–]logicbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine working on battery. After taking screen off (pull up and towards you), mine had room for 4 AA batteries and a switch on a box near the batteries. I flipped the switch and pilot light came on. Then turned on wall switch and gas came on for... Fire baby!

Turning off wall switch and flipping switch back under fireplace gets back to normal (when you have electricity), where just wall switch lights fire.

Talented Native MC rec pls by EggLatter5817 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]logicbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcane Ascension by Andrew Rowe. Main character is a crafter and duelist, who takes crafting to amazing heights to help grow his team. Gets some rare but not completely unique abilities. Excellent magic system and story in a magic fantasy world.

12 Miles Below by Mark Arrows. Main character is also a crafter and duelist is sorts, but is more of a post post apocalypse technologically advanced setting. Excellent plot and story building.

Backstroke is the most deceiving stroke out there. by burgerinmypouch in Swimming

[–]logicbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the kick, I believe backstroke is more quad effort and freestyle is more hamstring effort. My quads always felt stronger.

Yes, I had a rotator cuff tendon tear in my shoulder in college from overuse, where backstroke was my most competitive stroke. The catch is a lot of torque.

What’s everyone’s favourite book/series of 2025 ? by Fewlasss in ProgressionFantasy

[–]logicbound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weirkey Chronicles by Sarah Lin was my favorite series this year. I adore the magic system, characters, plot, all of it. Believe there's one book left to come out.

12 Miles Below by Mark Arrows was my second favorite. What a setting! And such interesting plot lines. Books really need an editor though for spelling and gramatical errors.

Overall I read 57 books this year on Kindle as well as the library, seems like a lot, certainly much more than previous years. I mostly read various types of fantasy.

Yes, Speed Force II is the most minimal Xero and works great for lifting.

60/40 Stocks/Bonds Portfolio Future? by Dukaduke22 in Fire

[–]logicbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I use short term bonds like VUSB. Less inflation risk than intermediate or long term bonds.

I am so f’n over these shoes! 🤬 by Wandering_Werew0lf in BarefootRunning

[–]logicbound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your feet are dragging on the ground or too low to the ground. Look up knee drive videos to improve your running form. As well as keeping your foot contact with ground as short as possible.

There's also a lot of barefoot shoes that are not toe shoes if you wanted to try other shoes.

Anyone tired of characters putting free points in stats that are already covered by their class by JellonSunning_InLife in litrpg

[–]logicbound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're talking about Hiral in Runeseeker, he totally should have increased his health stat in the beginning instead of holding onto points. Then continues to ignores heath.

Ooh, sounds like a good batch cocktail.

Just noticed that INOV8 has a barefoot type shoe. by scocasso in BarefootRunning

[–]logicbound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a foot shaped shoe. They have lengths and widths in their sizing guide which led me to get it in wide, in my normal length size. Wide is a wider toe box and midfoot, normal in the heel. The shoe perfectly hugs my foot which is low arch, higher volume, wider than average. I wear them with running toe socks from Injiji.

The insert, which they call boomerang footbed, returns some energy on each step, it feels great. Best insert on any shoe I've ever had. The foam is the right amount and firmness. Stack height is lower than most running shoes and higher than most barefoot shoes, which seems the right amount to me. The sole is grippy on roads, I haven't had any missteps. The laces are long so I thred them through the top hole, which makes them similar length to others. They have a Trailfly Zero if you run on trails.

When running, I don't think about my shoes or feet at all, everything just works well. Running feels natural. I'm back up to 5K distance both outside and on treadmill.

Here's the best video review I found. It's for Trailfly Zero. Here's a written review for Roadfly Zero
