I want to read a story where the main character is reincarnated into a mmo, but it's an actual mmo where nobody really gives a poo poo about levels or gear except for like the 1% of players in top guilds and everyone else is just loving around. e: "My godlike secret class makes me invincible, but griefers keep making dick statues outside my castle".

Reincarnated into Ultima Online, can you kill Lord British? e: I cannot remember what manga it was from but I remember at the end of some chapter the author put in one of those little asides about how they used to enjoy playing Ultima Online and would walk around handing out free wood with a sign that said "Wood For You", does anyone know wtf Im talking about?

i read a single chapter of a wn about a mmo gm who got sent to a game world with his gm powers. most of the chapter was about how players weren't playing the game right, such as a giant orc player taking some edgelord nimble assassin class and how it lacked dignity. you could smell what a whiny turd the writer was through the screen.

There needs to be one where the MC gets a really overpowered class that just gets nerfed to poo poo the next time the developers release a patch.

The MC finds a totally bullshit item that makes him invincible, but several hundred Russian money launderers and a bunch of Triads bought items that made them triple invincible from the pay shop.

I like the web novels that go on long tangents about how PVPers are terrible people. Several novels I've read have mentioned, early on, how players who initiate combat with other players without consent are treated as outcasts. One of them was detailing his super unique territory claiming mechanic and then had an aside about how all invasions were done with the consent of both kingdoms. I'm not sure why players would consent to their kingdoms being invaded by much larger, more powerful kingdoms, but it had to have happened for one nation to take over the entire playable world.

Gonna give a shout out to Kono Sekai ga game da to, ore dake ga shitte iru “. Guy gets reincarnated into a game, but the problem is that the game is really terribly designed and full of bugs and sudden ways to die. There’s OP techniques that were patched out, there’s RNG manipulation, etc. It’s like AGDQ in bad webnovel form.

there was also a different wn i read one chapter of with the default plot of a guy finding himself in an mmo he played turned into a real world, but prior to the in-game history he knew. there are like 5 of those being translated, i think? the big thing that stuck out was that he knew that soon every single magic class in the world would be nerfed for purely story reasons, thus making them permanently inferior to every non-magic class. that was so profoundly silly that i didn't continue reading. of course, since it was a crappy wn the mc didn't respond by going balls in on magic anyway because that would require writing him with a personality. also, since it was a chinese wn the mc stole some guy's body and identity like usual. chinese isekai stories are so weird about that.

The Tutorial Is Too Hard is updating with a new translator... who appears to be poorly editing MTLs, making the story much less readable. They aren’t even bothering with the skill blocks, giving us wonderful skill names like “Ignite of Boju” and “Basic Trapezoidectomy”. This is a real shame, I was actually kind of enjoying the story. It has an overpowered protagonist, but it puts him through some really difficult situations that his amazing battle prowess can’t actually solve immediately. Oh well, that’s WNs!

i think having a crappy translator pick up dropped series is far worse than simply leaving them incomplete. you never know, someone might eventually pick up a dropped series and do it well, but there is much less enthusiasm for re-translations in general.

Tamba posted:Only Sense Online OSO is great. The only niggle I have with it is how everyone views the skill with attack and defense buffs you can cast on anyone a low tier skill. It'd be so mandatory in a raid group in an actual MMO, but somehow the MC is the only one using it.

I thought you had to use the Eagle Eye skill from archery to cast it on other people. Archery is considered really bad so people don’t bother. I really appreciate that the protagonist doesn’t give a poo poo about min maxing or profits, just hanging out with their friends.

The reason it is/was viewed as a garbage skill is that without another, also uncommon, skill you're basically limited to casting on people within arms reach. This makes it conflicting because backliners wouldn't want to be in arms reach of anything except other people in the back line, but front line people would be less effective at casting magic and would also have to give up other skills to take it. It just happens that the MC took all the skills required and they happen to work together well to a point where none of them are really wasted SP. This is a common theme for...basically every "bad" skill

I'm looking for recommendations now. I've torn through most of the OP. Here's my list of Novel Updates if it helps. https://www.novelupdates.com/readlist/?uid=103000 I read a bit of Everyone Else is a Returnee, and I think I might have liked it if the translation wasn't completely unreadable the whole way through. Had to drop it though. I'm going through The Girl Who Ate a Death God currently and am almost finished, it's been quite good in a macabre sort of way. I put aside Realist Hero because the start wasn't that interesting, but I could pick it up again if it gets good later. And that's pretty much where I'm at. Note: I don't really find MMO stories very appealing, so unless it's particularly unique, I'm not interested in that particular subcategory. Hopefully you have some good ones. I'd love some more stuff to waste time on.

Yeah it's really the worst. I mean while I sort of appreciate the effort involved (even just copy/pasting and editing any formatting errors is probably a fairly substantial time investment) on the other hand it's like ...it's 2018 - everyone has google translate. If you can't improve on that, why are you even bothering?

So I decided to give I Shall Seal the Heavens a go and got to, like, the middle of Book 1. The sect was disbanded and our plucky hero who solves every problem by duping xp-granting items just reaches Qi 7. My question, the rest of the story is like this as well, right? It doesn't turn into a slice-of-life comedy about running an interdimensional tavern, which is what the people actually like about the story when they recommend it, right?

You've still got some excellent shenanigans ahead but at some point it devolves into something of a cycle of scam/steal stuff, piss someone powerful off doing so, murder lots of people and that guy a lot, and probably a bunch of secondary people too.

A Will Eternal is actually legitimately funny so far, mainly because Bai Xiaochun is a much better protagonist than literally any other xianxia protagonist. I've not read since chapter 300 or so though, so maybe that's changed.

Making a typical East Asian low-brow comedy relief character as the main character so far amuses me, though.
