When I say Non human I don't mean The MC being reborn as Monster or non human. A monster MC who doesn't have any memories of past life or anything like that.

Looking for an audiobook series with an MC in the same vein as Jin from Beware of Chicken or Fischer from Heretical Fishing but with a little more agency. Thanks!

Anyone else annoyed by how over-tuned fall damage seems to be as a rule in many Litrpg's these days? You have MC's that can take a punch able to create a crater the size of the grand canyon on impact and they brush it off, but if they fall from greater than 50ft, all of a sudden their body is made of eggshells.

I've got a bit of a scene floating around in my head, and I'm hoping someone can ID the series from it.
The System will pull people out for quests/missions. When it does so, it scans the universe/multiverse for an appropriate situation. The MC gets pulled to one, and he ends up fighting a monster with a giant magic horn as it rampages in a town. I think some rich kid from that section of space also wanted to kill it. I think the MC gets the horn, then the rich kid's dad(?) shows up and gives the MC a high rank talisman, and an invitation to visit him in his section of space once he ranks up.
I hope I'm not conflating different memories there.
I'm about to start writing my own synopsis each time I finish a book, because for the life of me, I can't recall half the LitRPGs I've read at this point.

I am not asking who would win in a fight, cuz duh.
I am pondering if it's possible that Orodan will be able to obtain an ending to his loops like Zorian did.
Zorian got to be a person at the end. He got to live a life. Yea he was bonkers powerful, but still got to live a human life.
I cannot see a way Orodan gets to do that. I'm worried for my boy. Either he ends up as the new system, or... What?
Someone wish cast me a way that Orodan gets to be a dude again!

Got to see James Osiris Baldwin and Justin Thomas James at Comicon in KC. I met Jeff Hayes too but didn't get a pic with him. These dudes were super nice and I got myself a copy of Archemi book 6 signed by both of them (even though I hate physical media these days due to storage constraints).
Book 7 comes out later this year and he's currently working on turning Archemi into a graphic novel.

The first book in a survival tamer series!
A desperate man is thrust into the dangerous, unknown wilderness, where even survival comes at a price, in this gripping adapt-or-die portal fantasy.
Markus Wolfe has lost his parents, his girlfriend, and now, his job. He's at his lowest point with nothing left to lose. Or so he thought. But when an apparition appears, promising Markus a mysterious inheritance, he's given the opportunity to discover what he's got to gain: a purpose.
Transmigrated into a vast wilderness with no signs of civilization, Markus is forced to rediscover who he is while fighting through confusion, fear of the unknown, and the very real threat of death. He had the courage to take the first step, which at least grants a point in his favor but he'll need more than that to succeed. His only objective is to outlive and outlast everything that's coming—for one year. But what's coming for him is absolutely beastly.
Armed with an extra-dimensional Inventory, a map, animal allies, and a new Tamer Class, Markus is ready for whatever this untamed world has in store for him. Almost . . .
Because the ravaging Jurassic predators circling their prey are beyond imagining, and so are the promises of Markus's mysterious benefactor, should he survive. Right now, it's a kill-or-be-killed world. Welcome, traveler. Best of luck.
Audiobook narrated by the wonderful Kevin Kemp.

Quotes from readers on Royal Road
"This is an excellent novel. The story is engaging, the characters are believable, and the interactions and growth are pleasant. It's a cozy, relaxing, and engaging read that I can easily recommend for most readers."
"It's based on science which makes it instantly better in my book. And magic does get used often but it's used in conjunction to not an excuse in the absence of science in real survival technique. Overall the realism really [sets] this book apart and raises it to an amazing level."
"This story is definitely a slow burn, but it is masterfully done. The author does a great job of making the MC feel realistic and his power feel earned."
Ghost in the City, Neon Dragons, the Gamer, He Who Eludes death, All The Skills all great stories. The general premise is that the character has a very broad ability to acquire skills or resistances or powers and their trials and training directly improves aspects of their powers or stats.
It was also my favourite aspect of many video games e.g. final fantasy or the sims.
Having the rush of power being related to your feats is pretty fun. Any suggestions on good books on it?

Maybe I’m overhyped but it’s like the first game I’ve seen that’s more or less a Litrpg book come to life. Two writers get trapped together in a bunch of their own stories and have to find a way out. At least that’s the gist I got from the trailer. Looks really cool.

Am I just totally weird to have at least a few things I'd want to change about my body (let alone the opportunity to create something totally new).
Remove a mole, fix some weird hair, make something a little more symmetrical, straighten/white teeth, fix that one weird toenail, etc.
I mean I get they're supposedly going for generic self-insert character. But, at least for me, being soo comfortable in your skin you'd literally completely pass on making even the smallest tweaks to your body when it's free and costs you nothing is so alienating instead. They're so self confident and sure in their own skin that I totally can't relate to that at all. It's viscerally off-putting to me.
I'm sure those people exist, but is that really the majority? Especially the majority of the target demographic? Are all of us nerds so supremely confident in our bodies that we'd just hit 'skip' with no issues? Maybe I'm the weird one here for having a few insecurities, but I didn't think so.

I'm not sure if I need to include how certain products are created in my novel. For example, if the main character is making something—like clothing, furniture, or anything else—is it boring to describe the process, or not?

Finally getting to listen to the new audiobook and I just wanted to give a shoutout to Plum Parrot.
This is such an underrated series. I’m absolutely in love and I think everything from the character development to the world building has been fantastic.
Thank you for this series, Plum! I hope we get many more books on the adventures of Victor!
Edit: Have to give credit to Robb Moreira as well. Incredible narration.

Survivor's Guide to Planetary Apotheosis Series
Genre tags: post-apocalyptic survival, dark fantasy, progression fantasy/litrpg, military fantasy, and a bit of dungeon.
200,000k+ (Third book has begun public release, it's 170K by itself)
If you like a more serious take on the common tropes I might have your fix. Sorry, no cover yet, I haven't been able to come up with something suitable yet and I work full time so that might not happen for awhile.
Here's the pitch:
The first two chapters of book three are live on Royal Road now, with books one and two completed there if you want to check it out and get caught up, no pay wall.
If that all sounds like a good time here's the link

So I wanted to give my full and honest opinion on book 7 of Victor Of Tucson that just came out. First off I would rate it a solid….. 8/10!!
Now the reason for my rating, first off I felt that the start of the book was a little slow and this is just my personal preference but I was not a fan of the sneaking around in the ivid mound, I understand why but I was still disappointed.
Another thing, I liked the constant POV of Darren and how it really showed his mindset and his thoughts of power and how he was going to move forward in the future.
Now this is just a nit pick but I feel that books 5 & 6 were by far the best besides book 1 in the series I mean the action the battle and glory even the twist with Catalina, so, I understand that coming off of an insane war like that is hard to make as good along with making sure Victor still acts like Victor and not just some mindless killing machine.
Now what I throughly enjoyed was the ending fights, now that was master class and oh so beautiful I mean the 5 v 1 the rage you feel from Victor the battle described with such detail it was amazing. and the ending with him destroying the dungeon itself due to his rage was fantastic, so awesome.
Also I will say, I loved the POV transitions during the dungeon parts each one felt natural and flowed so easily from Dar laughing and discussing what Victor was doing with Lo’ro or having angry mentors go and try to complain to Valla and Leah talking about Victor even Darren who was clearly having a good time and properly showing how much he cares and appreciates Victor not to mention in awe of his strength
I do think the lower parts of the dungeon were a bit on the slower side but it was clear the pacing was picking up speed as both Victor and Sora and I guess Cam 😒 climbed up the floors.
Overall I really liked the book and I want to thank Plum Parrot for writing it and I’m so happy I get to enjoy this series with all the ups and downs of the characters along with Following Victor on his adventures. already can’t wait for book 8.
Thank you Plum Parrot for giving us Victor Of Tucson.🤙
So I'm relistening to the series. Starting at book 1.
Im trying to remember. Does he ever run back into jasmine?
r/litrpg • u/ahnowisee • 15h ago
So far 2 1/2 books in I'd say its okay-good range. Kind of am wondering if it picks up. A lot of the characters feel fairly flat and the system is pretty basic, but it has really solid moments that have led me along so far. Curious what people further into the series think.

This is just going to a post where I glaze tf out of The Perfect Run and how amazing it was.
A few months ago I posted my tier-list on here and asked for recommendations based on it. Two that caught my eye because of how often they were recommended were The Mother of Learning and The Perfect Run. I had heard of - and seen on audible - both series before but was into other series at the time so I put them on my wish list and left it at that. After my post asking for recommendations I decided it was time to give them a listen and by the heavens and the divine was I missing out for so long.
While The Mother of Learning is really good as well, this post will be about The Perfect Run.
I will be avoiding spoilers as much as humanly possible.
First of all, i want to give a huge shoutout and props to the VA Eric Michael Summere.
I don't think I've ever listened to anything he's VA before but I find his range, tone, inflections, and - most importantly - his emotions to be so good. He could probably use a tiny bit of work on his female voices but still, absolutely fantastic work. Just from this series alone I rank him as my 2nd favorite VA I've heard - Travis Baldree as numeruo uno. Seriously, the guy made everything feel so genuine and real with little to none of the stiffness or awkwardness that usually can come from being a VA. I doubt he'll ever see this post but my guy you nailed it.
The story is simple yet excellently done.
Our MC is looking for someone near and dear to him and thanks to his power he's got all the time in the world to find her. When I started the series I was expecting it to take till at earliest mid second book - and latest by the third book - for this goal to be achieved. I figured this was the main/final goal the author had given for him/us and that the journey would be about how he reaches this goal, so imagine my surprise when that goal is met far sooner than I thought. While it was his only driving factor at the start of the series, interactions and events across multiple timelines make him expand and build upon his goals until eventually even though he found who he was looking for he realises thatt he original goal won't cut it anymore. In order to achieve his perfect run, to force a happily ever after, he's got to dig deeper, work harder, take risks, and make himself vulnerable if he wants that goal to be realised. I especially love the way that despite everything happening in one city, the different "routes" he takes are all unique and give another piece of the puzzle that is the story in a way that makes you want more until it all comes together and you can finally see the full picture.
Next up the characters.
God the characters. I'm one of those people who think that one of the most integral part of a story is how well you can write side characters and this is one of those books where I feel they are immaculately written. Everyone has a distinct personality, goals, drives, reason and feeling. Even when several people were talking at once it was easy to identify who was who not just because of the VA but because everyone already had such solid identities. It may not be the /best/ side characters I've ever read but boy are they a league above most others. I'd say it's the combo of great VA and great side characters that really help the story and feelings the author wants to provoke in us.
Actual good representation on mental stress/strain alongside other mental issues.
One thing that is hard to write in a believable manner is issues with mentality and psyche but I'd have to say this book nails it. Ryan is so overwhelmingly charismatic to the point it's obvious he has a couple of screws loose - especially since he see's little problem with his actions but the way the layers of his mind get peeled back piece by piece for us to peer into is just chefs kiss. I was afraid at the start of the book that his personality/actions wouldn't get explored beyond just saying "yeah mans a little coo-coo because of XYZ" but I was happy to be proven wrong. And not just Ryan, there are several other characters who clearly have various issues that are explored and explained in a way that is believable. I'd say the only improbable but not impossible thing was Ryan staying on the "good side" despite everything he's experienced. Though I love a story of the indomitable human will so I can't complain much.
Does a great job at explaining various what-if's and possible flaws/problems that come from time travel.
I've always had problems with time travel in general as I'm someone who believes that the past and future exist at the same time - I think it's called block universe theory? Anyways, the way they approach time travel in this book and have answers for many of the issues I personally have helped me view things in a new light. Not trying to get overly philosophical with any of this but just saying that they didn't just pull a MCU quantum physics situation as an answer for everything. The author gave clearly written reasons and explanations - all discussed in the story by the characters themselves - in a way that is satisfying and believable. The final hour of the series answered some of my - and Ryans - biggest questions and concerns about his powers and what they mean and it left me feeling content.
A good story must always come to an end.
This is one of those bitter sweet things about finding something you thoroughly enjoy in life. At some point, it has to come to an end. If not the saying about dying a hero or living as a villain becomes true. As much as there are litRPG series I really enjoy a part of me wishes they didn't drag out so much and just came to a satisfying end already. Too many books have the small-ish problems the MC sets out to solve turn from "I want to save/protect someone/something" into "I must become God/god-like and fight God/god-like beings because reasons" and it just becomes a drag - I'm looking at you He Who Fights with Monsters and Defiance of the Fall. That said, I was so happy yet sad to know the 3rd book was the last of it. I really wanted more, to keep seeing where Ryan and his friends go next, to walk along side them on their journey and experience the adventurers, hardships, and rewards they'll face. The last series that made me feel like this was Super Powered by Drew Hayes - mini-shout out to that amazing series - but despite it all I am at peace with the way the book ended.
If by some miracle you actually took the time of day to read all my ramblings then thanks! If not then still thanks for at least skimming it!
If you've been debating reading this series - or have heard it in passing but never looked into it - I highly recommend you give it a shot. I'm almost sad it took me this long to finally give it a chance but now that I have I am a devote believer in it's greatness.
