Makes me wonder about what other amazing things are out there that I'll never find just because of bad luck. Gives me anxiety sometimes

The most recent one for me is the book genre of progression fantasy. I saw a post about a book series called cradle a bit ago and by now I've read over 40 books in the genre.

That's how I got sucked into scifi serials a few years back. It's like soap operas with spaceships and I can't believe I'm into this now. XD

Any books you'd recommend besides cradle? I just finished the mistborn trilogy, and while it's not strictly progressive fantasy, I need another thing to scratch that itch

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

I know the feeling, I actually made a spreadsheet of people's recommendations to help find that next read

Beware of chicken, is one of my favourites, it's a parody and it's very fun

Iron prince, I liked this one

Mother of learning is a fun timeloop trip

The captain, not strictly progression fantasy but it's written by cradle author and its fantastic

Dungeon crawler carl, also a parody and it's fun

The primal hunter is pretty okay

Portal to nova roma is pretty okay, I enjoyed it but it's not the best

Soulhome is another one that is pretty okay, I enjoyed it

I’m a big fan of the Completionist Chronicles and its preceding series Divine Dungeon. The main character flip flops between slightly sociopathic and good, but the progression system is really open-ended while still following s consistent set of rules that are easy to understand.

How is that different from LitRPG? I have read some LitRPG by Xander Boyce because he's in my EVE Online alliance, and enjoyed them.

Sort of! I've been subscribed but inactive for about a year. I'm in HR so I haven't been purged yet, but it's only a matter of time.

Oh! I was in TEST then PH a long time ago, stopped playing after the last lockdown in my country

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm in a TEST Corp! It's a great place to play when I feel like playing.

[–] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I still remember wwb 2 like it was yesterday

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Yep, I was in several dozen-hour keepstar sieges. Ridiculous!

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Litrpg is a subset of progression fantasy. It's like beans and legumes

[–] DiploRaucous@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, like the Cleric's Quintet, I loved that series! I should look for some more like it now that I know an overarching term for the genre... ... Wait a minute - I see what you're doing here 😐
