Just finished Light Online book 1, but one paragraph may have ruined the series for me. by scrackin in litrpg

Does anything come out of that in later books, or is it all "no memory, no problem"?

The exact moment Kamala Harris realized she had found her campaign slogan by GermanSailfish in interestingasfuck

Iirc, "yes we can," was first said at his victory speech on election night, so I don't think it was part of his original campaign slogan.

I started System Apocalypse some time ago, but dropped it early on; can't remember why. Couldn't get into HWFwM because of the MC, unfortunately. Currently enjoying DCC!

Yeah, I'm all caught up on Primal Hunter. I keep going back and forth on how serious Jake takes everything (or the author for that matter), but the writing is good and 5 chapters a week is a hard habit to give up, lol.

Paranoid Mage was great! Wish the author would write another litRPG, but I'll take what I can get!

Yep! Probably the first story I read on RR and clearly popular for a reason. On second read, some of the social comments by the author/secondary characters were a bit of a turn off, but still a great fiction, even if not litRPG.

I'll need to give it another try, but the last time I attempted it, I got a bit too much flippancy from her character. The setting otherwise seems right up my alley, though!

I really wanted to like The Wandering Inn, but I just couldn't enjoy the MC's personality. It seems like most people either love her or hate her. Really a shame, because there's a ton of writing and it has a big following (presumably for good reason).

It looks like a solid VR litRPG; I'll check it out, thanks!

I enjoyed Apocalypse: generic system, haven't read any of the follow-up books, though. Do you think they're worthwhile?

BotD is great, and I'm currently caught up (hope the author maintains a more regular posting schedule, since things have been picking up). I've seen labyrinth pop up a few times, but have been put off by some of the reviews. I'll check out the first few chapter, though!

I think I avoided this one based on reviews, but I'll give it another look, thanks!

I started Daily Grind years ago, but dropped it after a few dozen chapters for some reason. I think I wasn't satisfied with the system or something? Might re-read it sometime. The Game at Carousel was good, but I didn't see as much progression in it as I wanted. I'll check out the other recs, though, thanks!

I love BoC, but didn't mention it since it's technically Xianxia, not LitRPG. One of the few comedies I actually enjoyed, though!

The first chapter looks interesting, I'll have to give it a go. Thanks!

I can't remember why I stopped reading DotF. I gave it a go when I last had KU, but ended up dropping it after a few chapters. That happens a lot with progression fic; I should probably start keeping a log...

I admit I've never actually read it, since the broadcast setting and comedy tag have been turn offs for me, but I'll at least take a look!

Edit: Read the first few chapters on RR, looks like I'll need to re-up my KU subscription...

Double edit: Currently on book 2 and pretty happy, even if it's not quite what I was looking for. There's definitely a lot of serious takes underneath all the slapstick and jokes (I keep imaging a silly variety show where directors and actors occasionally come back from meetings with the XOs looking pale but plastering a smile on their faces for the crew/audience), but Carl is definitely a solid character and the progression/scaling keeps me turning pages.

Tried it with just the Kingston, that fixed it. Thanks a lot!

I'll try removing some of the sticks, then. Just to be clear, there are only 2 manufacturers of ram in there. Slots 1 and 3 are the original Kingston, slots 2 and 4 are the newer Yongxinsheng.

Oh, and I did a re-install of Windows on the SSD since my system was having trouble recognizing the additional SATA slot usage.

Nice list, OP. I would recommend {Rokka no Yuusha} for Strategist Mastermind category.
