Just finished "The Gods are Bastards". Lots of amazing characters, but the plot really was all over the place. Anyone else reading it? I also really have to recommend the Android app "Offline Browser Pro"- it makes reading online serials on planes so much easier.

The Daily grind is quite interesting, and since everyone else is special, they don't need to level particularly fast-

Super minion on Royal Road is trending pretty good. About a supervillain's experiment that escapes just as mutant season is starting. Not LitRPG.

Hungry posted:So, I've been writing a web serial for almost nine months now, called Katalepsis. This was fantastic- you should seriously try for more recognition (Mirror to royal road, etc), you're worth it. Backed on Patreon.

Grognan posted:Found Super Minion which is a nice drabble about Prototype-esque minion in a superhero setting escaping and getting a job. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21410/super-minion Yeap, this is good. You get the district impression that there's some serious world building behind the scenes.

LLSix posted:What are some good LitRpgs? I'm looking for the ones with stat boxes, character sheets and explicit skill levels. I am not looking for cultivation stories. I've read a lot of them and am looking for something a little bit different. If you like Threadbare you will probably like Cinnamon Bun. I personally feel that The New World and Randidly Ghosthound are classics of the genre.

Shade Touched, on RR, about a small evil cat-sized swarming monster that gains intelligence and insatiable curiosity, is insanely adorable.

Just read and liked 'Demesne' by Shadow Crystal Mage on RR. Kinda like it- it's about an incredibly goony lady wizard and her long-suffering second in command, trying to build a community far from civilization in a extremely lethal environment.

PoorWeather posted:Oh hey, I placed pretty highly here! I'd probably feel better about it if it weren't for HPMOR at number 2 though. HPMOR is the the best piece of fiction ever written, FYI.

mossyfisk posted:What ratfic readers want is characters who laboriously narrate their perspective and decision making If first person, yes, but not because I don't understand subtext, it's because otherwise it feels like the characters don't have an inner life at all. If not first person, also yes, because then it removes from the author an opportunity to cheat by not describing plans. (Obviously rationalist fiction is vastly superior to all other fiction for many other reasons as well)

Patrick Spens posted:The Gods are Bastards is good if you really hate the idea of anything of consequence happening and also are vexed by feminists. Otherwise I can't recommend. I liked it while the ancient wizard principal was clowning on modern governments. After they said she had to adapt to modern times, I dropped it.

I'm recently reading TIME TO ORBIT: UNKNOWN, which is a novel about a colonization attempt going incredibly wrong. The main character wakes up from cryosleep to a *situation*, which proceeds to get worse.

akulanization posted:rationalist fiction, in that it is influenced by the same nexus of ideas that produced Big Yud and his awful harry potter rewrite Eliezer Yudkowsky is the world's greatest living writer, bar none. If anything, he originated a specific genre which we today call rationalist fiction.
