I am caught up with the Patreon which is probably at book 16 or 17. The characters become so much more compelling and I’ve never encountered world building or a magic system of this scale before. My enjoyment of reading the series has literally only increased each book because JF Brink must be an outlining genius

agree that book two is very well done , good story ,with a few surprises ! book three is slower , but very easy to follow ,and sets up the next few novels ! all are easy to follow , and you find yourself really liking many of the characters including lady ! who really is`nt the monster she`s made out to be , and yes , croaker is a favorite , I have a friend who reminds very much of croaker , and while I hate to admit it , I know a few like one eye and goblin , same set , thank god they have no magical abilities !🤣🤣 do read the books of the south , and find a copy of port of shadows ! port of shadows is set sometime after battle at charm . you`ll learn to understand why lay is the way she is ! and while it may seem otherwise , she`s one of the good guys !

I started with the first book back when it first hit the stores ! absolutely nothing confusing in the book1 I new after the first few pages that croaker was surgeon and annalist of the black company !

A lot of fantasy and also in Japanese anime going way back the author develops a sort of game system or rules for the magic or sci fi elements introduced. Brandon Sanderson does this for all of his novels. I pretty much ignore it and just pay attention to the story and it doesn't bother me. To be honest, I don't know why some authors feel the need to introduce these systems let alone explain them to the reader but maybe some people really like it. But I really really like Brandon Sanderson's novels notwithstanding. I am very curious about this genre.

0:25: The thing is that it's starting to get a saturated sub-genre, so I don't want to get sucked into a series, I'm trying to find one that really resonates. But starting too many series is also a problem of course. But maybe I'll get lucky. And you have to at least read/listed to the first book in a series, well, if it ain't awful of course. But LitRPG's are the pinnacle of escapism, and I'm really enjoying it. Well, the last one I started gets into the complexity of politics, so it's not escapist enough for me, lol. 1:00: So by documenting a playthrough of Might and Magic 6 (the roleplaying game from 98) on a forum was basically me writing a LitRPG, lol. I guess, without explaining any lore or world-building, as it's well-known on that forum.

I’m impressed with the idea, but there’s something annoying me. I’ve read 10 synopsis and they all start the same. It was a dumb premise to begin with. Lame stories start with x getting sucked into a video game. Imagine if FF7, Chrono Trigger, and Breath of Fire started this way. Only one rpg started that way. One of the Ultimate games. It’s a dumb premise. If You’re super talented and about to start one of these, try being super original too. I haven’t read one and won’t, until it’s fantasy or JRPG and starts in its own world! Wait. One more thing. Do you know why I never found the same first page in every fantasy book when I went into a book store 10 years ago? Because no person should let that happen. And this: people are creative.
@AverageJoesLibrary 5 ай бұрын
Ive probably dabbled into 10 or so of these series and I dont think a single one of them have someone being sucked into a video game. There are definitely those series out there. More often what happens is earth being integrated into a larger universe run but this leveling like system, or portal fantasy where people are sucked from our world into their world. There are still plenty of commonalities with some but plenty of them have enough creativity. Id say reading a synopsis never does a story justice and maybe actually read one before you fully judge?

@@AverageJoesLibrary Like I said I’ll wait for JRPG or original fantasy. I personally believe any literal hit would be like Hobbit, or Chrono Trigger, with It’s own plot. The spin you just put on it is the same thing. There is a difference between a premise and a writing prompt. I’m sure some are good like West World or Cross Code. And I’m sure a few hits with this prompt impressed people. But for art’s sake and creativities sake that’s no reason to start every book in any genre the same. If someone can point out an original work I’ll look into it.

I am bemused by the overlap between Audible listeners and LitRPG fans. I read mine on Kindle so I have no idea which are even on Audible, but the Arcane Ascension universe is a great read if you want an elaborate progression system that is not cloned from popular games and not based on Chinese mysticism. I bought "Sufficiently Advanced Magic" because of the title, expecting it to be a comedy, but it has lots of fast-paced action and innovative magic.

I listen to audiobooks. Books are not games or DND sessions, and some kind of progression should happen in every story. Stat readings always kill the pacing when the only relevant thing is that they levelled up. Threadbare, I liked the twist. It's also part of a larger series. I read Threadbare 1-3, Small Medium (It had an interesting subversion), Blasphemy online (It's a prequel.), then threadbare 4-6. Ravensdagger writes wholesome stories. Cinnamon Bun can be hit or miss, and I preferred Fluff. Currently reading He who Fights with Monsters, love the humour and 4d chess. His chuuni tendencies in the 1 V 5 were great. I haven't found any great Pokemon/monster tamers yet. Djinn tamer has an immature MC, and Monster trainer academy felt like a mary sue. Jakes Magical Market is good but misleading. It abandons the market and card system halfway through to deep dive into the magic underlying the cards. I prefer the sequel but it also needed to change narrator. I read the manhwa of Solo levelling, it feels like it has no conflict, or maybe it lacks tension.
