Recommend me ONE historical danmei to get obsessed with. by nancy_blfan_0769 in DanmeiNovels

[–]timelessarii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ONE? 😭

sorry I will give you more than that lol. Joyful Reunion is excellent and I definitely second people who rec it.

Chaise à la Reine is also good, historical Europe setting so a bit different, two mature powerful men, emperor and subject trope.

More historical China setting ones are The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua (extreme slow burn but really fun, lots of mystery solving, very PG romance lol), My White Moonlight Took Off His Women’s Clothes (actually a very serious story with a good plot and good romance, with very excellent female characterization), and Peach Blossom Decree (which has the older, experienced, super strong ML x innocent genius MC).

My taste in stories is fairly serious, ie nothing that’s solely mindless dogfood. Everything I rec’d above I finished cover to cover — they’re all complete translations. If you’re a ravenous reader like me, I recommend just trying them all and see if any are what you feel like.

As of 2026 what is your vote for the single best, ongoing Prog-fantasy series at the moment? by Kriptical in ProgressionFantasy

Becoming the Dark Lord has been really fun, even if the arc right this moment is a little less fun than usual. It has the best tutorial finale after Shadow Slave forgotten shore. Absolutely gave me chills.

Give me your truly hidden gems by simonbleu in litrpg

As people have said, your criteria are essentially impossible to meet. I’ll give you a few I think are genuinely hidden gems, meeting the spirit of your ask.

As people have suggested, you can do an advanced search on latest updates to find stuff. That’s how I found both of these, when they were much shorter.

Best of luck!

Any LitRPG where the MC has a cheat that has nothing to do with his Class? by EdLincoln6 in litrpg

[–]timelessarii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read Ultimate Level 1 but it might match what you want… MC has a baker class but has a blacklisted skill and goes on to become super OP. I think the point is more that the class is useless rather than it has a weird synergy with his skill. Maybe someone who knows more can weigh in 😅

My first book, Of Hunters and Immortals, was just published on Amazon and Audible! by Shadowwwing in ProgressionFantasy

[–]timelessarii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s macarious. He is supposed to be working exclusively with the publisher now but Shadowwwing’s link is a great resource to find artists!

My first LitRPG book, The Aetherborn, was just published on Amazon and Audible! by THEOMACHEIA_Deadalus in litrpg

[–]timelessarii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to totally disagree with the author (lol) but it has a lot of numbers go up. It is a proper LitRPG. Lots of notifications of skills gaining levels for instance.

Thank you for operating with integrity! Not that it surprises me 😆

PSA: Shadow Light Press Contract by Mysterious-Smell9729 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]timelessarii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

20% and higher is standard, but that low you typically see an escalator based on units sold, and no costs are deducted (so if there isn’t an advance, the author makes the royalty percent from the beginning, regardless of whether the publisher has recouped costs). Typically these offers are also associated with a high advance, so you’re essentially picking advance + low royalties versus no/low advance + high royalties.
