Tagichatn posted:Speaking of isekai weebs, Warby Picus of Slumrat Rising fame has a new web serial called Weeaboo's Unfortunate Isekai: The Necromancer's Gacha. It's a fun break from Slumrat and is exactly what it sounds like: a weeaboo gets isekai'd into a game except it's an idler gacha and they don't get to spend any real money. Supposedly it's more lighthearted than Slumrat but that's a low bar to clear. I gave it a read. Yep, that's certainly a story about a colossal weeb and his gacha girls, lol. I followed it, for now.

A bit of grumbling about the stories I've checked out: Reincarnated into a Time-Loop Dungeon as a LVL100 Catgirl Chef! Flipped through a bunch of chapters today and it's cute, I suppose, but too meandering and I didn't really care about the characters. I found myself skimming quicker and quicker until at some point I realized I'd load up a page, glance at it, page down and load the next one. Weeaboo's Unfortunate Isekai: The Necromancer's Gacha I'll still follow it for a bit, I suppose, but I don't think this is very good so far. A) The weeb caricature shtick grew old fast, B) the tower defense chapters aren't actually interesting and they're the meat of the story and C) he's hinting at a backstory of the people who were turned into the waifus and so far I don't care either. Zeroth Moment: My Cheat Skill Is Stupid, So I'll Just Ignore It The MC here is also a middle-aged loser, but at least he's not a weeb. The standard Ritual To Summon A Hero To Fight the Dark Lord isekais him along with a class of Japanese high-schoolers, but this is a trope subversion story and the world he ends up in is kinda crapsack, so the powers that everyone gets are based on their status in the previous world and, needless to say, our MC was a fat useless balding dumbass living on disability checks, so the guards just kick him and the other high school reject kids who got useless powers out - and things don't get any better from here. The story is actually not bad, but the worldbuilding and story are pretty grim like, say, Dungeon Crawler Carl and I don't enjoy that in something that I have to read one update at a time. I also gave up on The Game at Carousel: A Horror Movie LitRPG. My engagement would drop from a weak 7 to about a 4 every time they'd start a new scenario and at some point I stopped caring about the metaplot as well.

Haystack posted:When Immortal Ascension Fails Time Travel to Try Again is a good dumb fun cultivation parody. I finally got around to reading this and I'll second the recommendation, this is good and fun. (Don't know about 'dumb' or 'parody', I'd with 'deconstruction'.)

Ivil Antagonist Yet another story by RavensDagger, with all of the RavensDagger tropes. Cute anime-ish girls, check. Lesbians, check. Harem collection, check, literally in this case. The world is "Expanse-style solar system space opera, but there are xianxia cores that give people superpowers" and the MC, who is kind of a cross between Honor Harrington and not-really-evil-but-very-powerful-and-intimidating Darth Vader, is so cored-up she can stroll into a pirate station and casually dismantle it and all of its inhabitants with her mind, without actually physically moving a pinky. This makes her one of the three Emperors of the Solar System, because when someone is that powerful might as well put them in charge before they decide they want to be charge. So what does the most powerful woman in the Human Space want? She wants True Love. So at the start of the story she goes to an oracle (cores that give magic powers, remember?) who tells her "ok, take a vacation and board this lovely-rear end spaceship undercover and you'll meet your True Love". So she does and there's an issue - there's a whole bunch of attractive eligible candidettes and which one or ones is it?! Mild shenanigans ensue. As of me writing this the story is still in the "meeting all the harem members" setup stage with hints of the non-romance overarching story. It's fun so far, but it could become an interminable slog as some of RavensDaggers' other stories. I'll follow it for now. Cultivating Insanity: Xianxia and Strategy A patriarch of a sect reincarnates in the body of an initiate who dies at the same time as him. His qi pathways are burned out, but he used to be a big boy cultivator, so he knows some stuff. (But surprisingly little, given that he was supposed to be the patriarch there.) Turns out his sect kinda sucks if you're not on top of the hierarchy and everyone's a dick and he has to be ruthless as gently caress to survive and thrive. The author wanted this to be like Reverend Insanity, so everyone's an rear end in a top hat in a crapsack world, and the MC schemes and perseveres but it's a bit of a drag tbh. Then again, I wasn't into RI either. If you actually like Reverend Insanity, you might like this, I dunno? The Stubborn Skill-Grinder In A Time Loop Yeah, this is a bit dumb but fun, like a somewhat better written, funnier Azarinth Healer.

nrook posted:I really do have to wonder about the folks who publish fanfiction to Royal Road. Like, nothing against fanfics, but is that really a good place to put them? I'd think literally everyone who sits down and wants to read about Naruto kissing Sasuke is going to go straight to AO3. Worked for the Cultist of Cerebon guy; he started off posting WOW fanfic on RR, now he's making mid-four figures on Patreon posting his own poo poo for the audience he built up.
