Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is one of the best series I have read recently. It has probably the best female MC I've read and great class evolution series. I am a fan and follow HWFWM, DCC, MoL, and DotF but this one has mostly been under the radar despite having 12 books.

Has anyone else really enjoyed this series? Does anyone have a chart of the advanced elements? What kind of class would you get?

Any survivalist or destroyed society type of books out there?

Can someone explain to me the difference of spells versus skills in Defiance of the Fall? They seem exactly the same. Both use Cosmic Energy, are provided by a class or bought, and both seem to be​ activated the same way. What makes an ability a spell and not a skill and vice versa? Because it seems like everyone is a mage when the abilities like what Zac uses as a fighter/barbarion/monk mix do spell things. Conjures things, makes barriers, transmute things, creates curses/debuffs/afflictions, creates constructs, summons various buffs, etc. Why is it a skill when Zac does these things and a spell for someone else? There seems to be no difference. Both and the Dao are described as magic at various points as they are all referenced that way. I don't really get it.

Basically something like DoTF or a story with the evening tide asura as the MC (revenge/OP). Like the old foxes know about fate gathering around the MC. People and factions, at least some are careful when dealing with the MC. And lots of treasure and luck. Also brownie points if the book has comedic moments or others saying how awesome the MC is.

P.S - I know what I wrote is a bit incoherent but I just can’t seem to get it in words.

As a disclaimer this is just from my personal observations as a member of the community and includes some knowledge about how Reddit manages content. The first part will outline the suggestions on what to include in the post while the second part will be on how to work with Reddit's system to improve visibility and avoid an automated removal.

​

---

​

Having the cover as the thumbnail or preview is probably preferable to needing to click into the post to see it or not having one included at all. An image is likely to attract more attention and gives more to a potential audience than just the title.

​

Having the blurb or description of the work in the post itself or as a comment is probably preferable to not including one. After the title and cover (or cover and title for the more visually oriented) the description is the next most likely component to increase audience interest.

​

Having a link to the work in the post or as a comment is preferable to not including it. The link being included is likely to make it easier for a potential audience to reach the work after seeing the title, cover, and/or description. Not having the link could potentially delay or reduce the ability, motivation, or recollection of being interested.

​

​

To have the cover visible as a preview or thumbnail without clicking into the post is most consistent with the app. Select Create then click the image icon after which the body can include the description and link. The cover may not be seen if added as an image in the body and there is no way to edit the post into a different format.

​

If unable or unwilling to use the app to create the post select the Images (or Link) option instead of Post then make a comment with the description and link. Having the comment prepared before posting can reduce the chances of someone not having that information available when they click into the post.

​

Newer accounts on Reddit may have posts require moderator approval before being visible on the subreddit. If the post is not visible after creation any additional attempts will likely also require approval and potentially cause Reddit to suspend the account.

​

Reddit can automatically remove posts and comments that include a shortened URL such as geni .us or Amazon's a .co which will then require a moderator to manually approve. For Amazon a standard Amazon link would be in the https:// www . amazon .com/dp/B0ASINHERE, https:// www .amazon .com/gp/product/B0ASINHERE, or https:// www . amazon .com/Listing-Name-Here/dp/B0ASINHERE formats. Any additional text after the ASIN is both not necessary and may include personally identifying information.

I'm writing a LitRPG story set in modern world with generic gates/dungeons, monsters and awakened hunters that have access to the game-like system.

However in this story I'm writing, a company discovered a way to create artificial awakened hunters using a combination of monster parts, advanced surgery and synthetic mana.

I was originally going to use the term "Demi-humans" to describe these people but it sounds a little rude since the mc is also artificially awakened.

Does anybody have ideas for a cool I could use perhaps?

Why is this a trend at all? Why? Its so terrible. Not only is it just lazy writing it just makes no sense. You could make nearly any facet of your life better with assignable stat points. Be faster, stronger, healthier, or even more intelligent pending on how the stats work. Instead you chose to bank up tons of them? So what? So that you can find yourself in situation where even as an OP MC you're still on the back foot because there is always a bigger fish? huh? Its like driving your car with a flat tire or two while have the capability to instantly fix both tires, give said car an extra 500 horsepower and armored plate or five.

Worse some authors who partake in this trend love to use them as some Ace in the hole and its just annoying. Take Unbound. I like the series so far but I'm nearing the end of book three and >!Felix just dropped 40 points into a stat to give him an advantage in a situation that seemingly would have never occurred, if he had just put those points in willpower to begin with the Maw likely would have never been able to get so much control nearly take his body over. She even hints at as much. !<

Sorry I know this is a bit of a rant but I find myself hoping this trend kind of dies and hope that I don't see more of it going forward in unbound. Its not enough where ill drop the series, at least not yet but its just one of those small needles that genuinely make the series every so slightly less enjoyable.

Looking for the name of a book / possible series. MC is a pro gamer and is hired by asshole billionaire (pays for mother bills Medicaid etc..) They goto Switzerland to the Large Hadron Collider where they meet up with others and enter a portal to another world that tech doesn't work (?) Security team kills a dragon with crossbows and swords while supply crates are being sent over. Group then heads towards a city where they stay at a hotel/inn that uses a elevator. MC is separated from the group wanders around and finds a shrine that is a save spot. MC continues on meets up with whole billionaire and evil security and kills the billionaire (?)

I read it on KU while in the hospital in 2020 family brought me moms kindle to use instead of mine I am now 5 states away and mom is in hospice care so no longer have access to her account to look it up.

My friend and I like to talk about these books, We love them and we love D&D and other ttrpg's . Im writing a game using the Absolute power book, to try and mimic the system in He Who Fights With Monsters. But its not entirely accurate. Id love to see HWFWM converted or made its own system. Would be a blast to run

I've always enjoyed Fantasy and SciFi. I like sprawling sagas written by the likes of Feist, Goodkind, Jordan, etc. After finishing The Expanse, I was browsing Audible and kept coming across a book with silly cover art called Dungeon Crawler Carl. I decided to give the book a listen, figuring I'd get a kick out of a quick silly story while I searched for my next big fantasy series.

So obviously my world was upended, and after a couple of weeks I was depressed I'd have to wait months for Book 7 (yes, I immediately listened to the Immersion Tunnel, partly because I didn't want to leave that world, and partly because Jeff Hays is the GOAT). Thanks to this subreddit, I was able to scratch the litrpg itch reading some other recommendation request posts.

I blew through Primal Hunter next, followed by The Perfect Run, then it was onto Defiance of the Fall. I enjoyed Bobiverse, and just finished Cradle this afternoon. I enjoyed all of them immensely, with DCC and Cradle being my top tier (obviously). I enjoyed PH a little more than DotF; I guess the straight-up advancement is a little more appealing than the drawn out cultivation for me. Also, Travis Baldree. That being said, I did enjoy DotF and never really got bored of the story.

So what's next? I drive all day for work, so I'm looking for something that's got a good audiobook. Ideally something that isn't just starting with a only a couple of books released (although I'm open if it's highly recommended). I see all your tier rated graphics, and have an idea what people generally enjoy. But I was hoping with my previous listen history laid out you can direct me a little better. Do I take the plunge into The Wandering Inn? I see Noobtown generally receives a thumbs up. What's the deal with Beware of Chicken and Reincarnated as a Farmer? Anything big that's actually finished?

I know this is r/litrpg, but do I switch it up with something like Expeditionary Force? I don't necessarily need a litrpg book, but I figured this community would be the best to ask.

Lastly, some books that didn't take. Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon was too dark or brutal or something for me. Didn't finish it. I tried He Who Fights With Monster's and it's the only series I couldn't get into since I found these genres. Sorry if 50% of you hate me now...

TL:DR - Loved DCC and Cradle, what else comes close to comparing to the greats of the LitRPG and Prog fantasy genres? Anything good with a SciFi spin?

I really liked Athena’s RR novel the StarCraft system where mc is isekai’d to a space opera setting while being able to gather resources and create units, buildings, etc. it was sort of nice how the mc didn’t need to go over dozens of gripes of setting things up like socializing/ensuring loyalty of units and so on most army building stories tend to go in length about to make it believable. Are there any other webnovels like this? A sort of one man army with complete loyalty of their army units, can create at an insane growth rate compared to enemies, op, etc. mc doesn’t need to be strong or anything, rather I’d appreciate if the army units were more of the focus and the mc was weaker. And the mc was a bit ruthless or grows to be.

Similiar wenovels I liked that are similiar Formicea, Path of the Hive Queen. , I don’t want to be Hive Queen, Mynoghra, Modern weapons cheat in another world, her majesty’s swarm, tyrant of a defense game, etc

So if anyone has any recommendations for op mc army summoner/creator at like rates unreal for any other of the world, please gimme.

It was about how spell users obtained the "clean" spell. A young female spellcaster was accompanied by an older male spellcaster. They went through a portal and then she had to soil herself. I think the older guy said this is why we never discuss it. Ring any bells for anyone? You're our only hope.

Pretty much what the title asks. Are there any litRPGs with a fmc? I’ve been scrolling through KU many times and haven’t found a single one. Maybe I’m just searching the wrong way so you guys might help me out here.

(Also, I get that the genre is mainly read by guys so this is not a complaint that there might not be a lot of those stories)

I'm writing a series of books that is based on the idea of traveling between worlds. Each book is supposed to be one world. I'm bout 70% done with the 1st world, and I'm at 84K word count. So the final word count will be around 120-130K.

Is this too short for a LitRPG book?

Considering the majority of LitRPG books I've come across are longer, I'm contemplating the idea of including 2 worlds in one book.

Would this make the book more in line with the genre standards, or does word count not hold as much significance?

On chapter 18 of book 11, there’s this guy talking to himself, probably someone from the limitless empire. But I’m curious about a name he said that’s been highlighted by hundreds of people. Who is Laondio? Was he mentioned before?

Looking for your logical, math based, rigid crunchy system recommendations. Appreciate y’all!

At my 7 year old's soccer game this morning, a teammate's older sister (9, maybe 10 years old) was about 2/3 through a monster of a book. I was curious what such a young girl was reading that was so big. When I saw the cover, it was He Who Fights with Monsters. I was kind of floored by it. Definitely not the target demographic, but she was certainly into it; 9 year olds don't get that far into such a large book if they're not into it.

I thought some people here might find this interesting.

Just finished book 1 and really enjoyed it. Surprised this hasn’t gotten more traction. I’d never heard of it but found it going through Audible and finally getting around to checking out the free Kindle Unlimited selections. How is this not more popular? Mind you, I’ve only finished the first book. Narrator is excellent too…can’t recall his name at the moment.

Are there any stories where all of humanity are branded as monsters by the system due to some unmet condition(s) and they are being hunted by other intelligent races?

Hi!

I'm a super depressed trans girl and i have a really hard time reading usually but i'd like to try something to keep my mind busy instead of rewatching the same mindless tv shows over and over.

I really enjoy cool female characters that i can look up to (doesn't have to be MC). I also like enjoy watching things like anime where there is a lot of suffering and hardship. I enjoy good romance, especially from female pov and i think i would like some Fantasy type story with people becoming stronger and great world building with some polictics and toxic romance and so ..

I was recommended some stories like

Reverred Insanity, Lord Of The Myseries, Shadow Slave, ... By a friend who is into this type of stuff and i came down the rabbit hole of 'Royal Road' So here i am making this post.

I have never read a book so keep that in mind. I do enjoy the idea of what Litrpg seems to represent but i've got to just try it.

Things i enjoyed:

Tokyo Ghoul, Steins;Gate, Scavengers Reign, Re;Zero, Dark (german tv series), The Expanse, ...

I dont get the reason it's popular. I can barely stand the writing. The narrator makes it sound like dad reading a bedtime story. It's simplistic like the author has only read books for children or tweens.

After reading many, many other titles, I can't se what's so redeeming.

Does it ever get better?

DOTF Primal hunter Ghosthound The rise of the Winter Wolf Monster Farmer Battle mage farmer Solo leveling Rogue Ascension Path of Ascension System universe Infinite realms Master hunter

By opmc I mean once they are the strongest, 1 never loses, 2 no obvious weaknesses 3 No real competition

doesn't necessarily mean the mc has to be alone at every single moment, but i want novels where it's mostly just the mc doing mc things by himself.

by "solo" novels i mean novels like these:

1. Primal Hunter (fav)
2. Azarinth Healer (dropped after book 2, but i enjoyed some of it. weird ass sex jokes during every conversation and unnatural dialogue made me wanna kill myself.)
3. DoTF (fucking loved it, but i stopped after book 9 to take a break, i was afraid of reaching enlightenment from all the dao comprehesions smh)

so does anyone have anything similar?

I can’t get into the first book even though I want to, because everybody seems to love it.. the issue I think is the supposedly powerful MC being so wimpy for lack a better words. Also I have never read a book where a character is so…. Chatty? talkative.? to the point where I feel like Im stuck in a room listing to someone I can’t escape….. so my question is, is that supposed to be part of the charm or do those eventually go away? And I don’t think I’m spoiling anything so I didn’t add spoiler because I didn’t make it very far in the book to come to this conclusion. lol

(Like Rick burping every sentence in “Rick and Morty” season one stopped a lot of people from giving the show a chance so they did away with it)

For example, I’m not a big fan of numbers for Stats becoming outrageous and hard to keep up with the point where you just skip past all stats pages
