How did you find DCC in the end, did you enjoy it?
I'm just about to roll over into book 6 of He Who Fights With Monsters. I said it somewhere before but I think it is probably better than DCC in my opinion.
There isn't a lot in it and if you hate the item descriptions or stat regurgitations in DCC like a few people in this thread are saying then you will hate the excessively long stat lists that this has too, but I love it!
Just got books 7 - 12 so that I can just keep on rolling through. I am going to return to Dresden once I'm through with this but it is going to be another 150 hours or so before that happens xD
Oh, I loved it.
I have mentioned this before that I read lots of webnovels, cultivation, litRPG and all that. DCC is my first "proper" published book in the genre (Well second if you count Cradle series by Will Wight, but I think it was only self-published on Kindle). It's everything I love, but not bound by the author worrying about completing daily word-count, and something that's gone through a proper editing phase (I think).
What's your favourite litRPGs and webnovels?
I don't really track webnovels that I read, just went through the novel's list on the wuxiaworld.com (the site where I read mostly, they officially license their novels so their translations are generally better from other sites) and mentioning the ones I remember as the ones I enjoyed the most. Will share others when/if I recall them.
Chinese (Mostly cultivation):
Korean (Mostly litRPG):
Haven't read many English webnovels, at least not that stood out. Dropped Wandering Inn. Worm was pretty good but I changed phone, and took a break and then couldn't find where I was. These days hoping for a e-book before restarting that.
Let me know if you have any recommendations.
Thanks for sharing! I haven't read many webnovels yet (aside from Solo Leveling}, however, based off what you shared from my TBR:
Hopefully these vibe with you, I've heard good things about them both!
Thanks for the recommendations, will check them out!
Would you happen to be aware of how many more books there are going to be of He Who Fights with Monsters?
I don't know I'm afraid. There is book 13 coming in October of this year but I haven't found any indication of how many books are planned in total. Sorry.
All good, I appreciate your reply! Honestly I recall you mentioning the series in the last thread, which is how I learnt about it - thank you! I just know I'm more drawn to series that for sure wrap up 😅
If you are looking for litrpgs that already have an end then I can definitely recommend Buy Mort: The Shopocalypse Saga.
I enjoyed that a lot and it has already wrapped up so if the concept sounds appealing then may be a good one for you :)
Cool, Buy Mort sounds like a good time - always down for battles against capitalism. Thank you!
I'll look forward to seeing your post in one of these future threads to see how you find it. I don't see it mentioned very often but it is great fun!
That is why I started Dungeon Crawler Carl, it's going to finish soon. (Hopefully)
That's what has kept me starting it up yet 😅, A Song of Fire & Ice really hurt me lmao. Will probably real the Cradle series before it because of that!
Yeah, didn't realise it has finished. I think I read first 3-4 books on Kindle. Will get the physical copies when I am done with DCC.
