>Yes, I know that DCC was serialized and maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like the books are more popular now, but I wouldn't know.

Bro, every single of those were serialized. Hell, Forge of Destiny is first and foremost a forum quest, then it was turned into a webnovel, to then be turned into a self-pub novel. Not arguing against it, your rationale just seems weird.

What I would question however is puting Forge of Destiny into a 'progression' month, given that...the story isn't a progression story. Yes, it's probably the only xianxia (with exception of maybe Beware of Chicken) that's NOT quite a progression story. It's a character driven drama set in a xianxia sect which has a talented cultivator for a protagonist. No more than any typical YA story where the main character is exceptional.

Beware of Chicken is a solid choice if you only want to read the first book as it degenerates into a normal xianxia in the second one, with the third being a massive failure among fans from what I've seen. But the first book is popular for a reason.

Possible replacement:
Speedrunning the Multiverse - The protagonist is a god-king of Time, Dorian, cultivator of the highest possible rank. Out of boredom, he regularly strips his soul of power and significant memories and then sends it into the lower realm to posses trash people on the verge of death, trying to achieve the fastest zero-to-Godkind time possible. Solid story, not a masterpiece but enjoyable anti-hero story. Theoretically has some litrpg elements, but they basically don't exist, so it doesn't count. Got a solid laugh from me a few times.
Releases on kindle July 11.
As for JULY:

For a sci-fi webnovel I want to recommend you Kitty Cat Kill Sat, haven't read it myself due to lack of time, but heard only good stuff about it from many people with better than average taste. However, it was taken down recently and the author is publishing it on Kindle on June 13. My other recommendation would webnovel '12 Miles Below', yet another story I haven't read and heard only good stuff about from the same aforementioned people. Some post-apo with very advanced technology on a frozen Earth, a lesser hit in a webnovel community.

Yet another possibility would be The Perfect Run - a known hit by an author who's written several finished webnovel. You must've seen it mentioned around here. Post-apo super-hero story with a protagonist capable of stoping time and even turning it back by 'loading a save-point.'

If you want something unconventional and risky, try System Overclocked written by (likely) the best harem author in the genre. The only book of his that doesn't use harem and erotica elements as the gratification but social commentary. Sci-fi set on a alien ship where humanity is enslaved and treated as pets by slien slimes.

>So I just finished the first Saving Supervillains book after seeing it in a previous thread and it scratched my itch for superpower stories. Now I am hungry for more does anyone have any recommendations?
The second Saving Supervillains book was published recently, if aren't aware.
If you are looking for superpower story, check The Perfect Run by Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald). Has some flaws, but it's good.
As for Epub, just check zlib. It even has converter, so you can change pdf -> epub, whatever you want.

Btw, can zlib links be posted in this general? Not sure if it's bannable or not.
