/lit/ - Literature

In my attempts to read some LitRPG webnovels (mostly the published ones because I'm not that enthused to dip into reading them as webnovels) I recently finished the Primal Hunter book that're out and while I generally enjoyed it, I have a similar feeling of dread because of how many similar beats to DotF are playing out, including the tutorial thing ending with the book showing a bunch of other notable big-name players, because in DotF most of those people got like a couple chapters of screen-time at most and became completely irrelevant because it's all about Zac. I generally enjoy Jake as a character more than Zac because Jake IS a character, albeit only sort of one (he's just kind of an awkward loner dork who happens to be really good at the lone hunter deal), and some of the side-characters in PH are at least fairly intriguing and I'd like to see where some things go, it's just... The book sort of ends before the interesting stuff could happen so I'm having a passive sort of dread about it. Not enough to want to start reading the webnovel, though, that's never really happened for any of these except Dungeon Crawler Carl which stopped being a webnovel. System apocalypse LitRPG stuff seems to have a bit of a samey-ness problem with their storybeats though (protagonist is isolated near the start of the apocalyptic thing, ends up thriving despite oppressive circumstances to become a top-tier powerhouse on Earth which attracts attention they don't want, etc.)
