Reading... I found this site that has quite a few novels of which authors post chapters weekly, bi-weekly or more..
https://royalroad.com

Most of it is fiction/fantasy, quite a bit of it is litrpg

I can sink hours on this... Public transports, coffee break, lunch break, evening beer... I just can't stop myself

I'm hoping that the r/fantasy and progressionfantasy groups move here. Currently rereading Cradle to catch up to Waybound

[-] Action_Bastid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Good call. I jumped right into it and it I think I would have benefited from at least rereading the last book.

[-] orionstein@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeh. Definitely taking my time to enjoy the series again since I get the feeling he's wrapping it up for good. Just a hunch

[-] Celivalg@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Definitly! Not entierly sure if that'll happen tho... maybe not soon at least

Oh yeah, I've heard of Royal Road before. I used to (and still do) read a lot of Cultivation novels, and I know that that subset of writers tends to have a lot of cross over with the Royal Road audience.

Yeah! there are great one on there too, quite a few very popular ones: The main ones I can think off the top of my head are

Beware of chicken; takes itself less seriously, and is quite a fun slice-of-life cultivation thingy
Forge of Destiny; more serious and closer to classical cultivation novels, slow-burn but honestly quite magical, I dropped it because I have a really hard time with Asian names and had trouble to difference characters, but honestly, very well written
Path of Ascension; A different take on cultivation, outside of the Asian origin but keeps some of the mechanics while applying more modern ideas, on a grand scale, honestly love that one

There are plenty of others and people more qualified than me on cultivation novels could guide you better (I am quite impaired by my inability to parse Asian names unfortunately...)

What are your thoughts on DotF?

[-] Celivalg@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

that one didn't attract me too much. I think I tried it a while ago but wasn't for me

Might try it again, I wasn't much of a fan of apocalypse LitRPGs before I started reading The Primal Hunter, now I might enjoy it tbh
