I think litrpg is going to be labeled as problematic and sexist even though its readership is by and large extremely liberal.

>>11361257
A gun.

Failing that, some kind of spear.

All I know is that litrpgs are an easy way to make money and I'm going to cash in on the craze before the gravy train leaves.

>>11361318
> I think litrpg is going to be labeled as problematic and sexist
Well most of it is.

> its readership is by and large extremely liberal
wat? citation needed.

>>11361333
It's popular with the reddit crowd and reddit = liberal or whatever.

you mean like dragonlance? i liked it. the first 6 books at least. it was wholesome and comfy.

>>11361246
how exotic? ants and orcs?

>>11361333
>citation needed.
well the writers are, often you can tell by their looks and politics in the book. its that or guys who like to write as if its the 80s

>>11361353
is this disputed. his books always have major flaws and the only question is if the other stuff was good enough to make you ignore them

>>11361382
Daniel Black is LITRPGesque. He is far from liberal. He even laughed at at a democratic institution being inroduced [persons who read the series please correct if wrong].

>>11361246
dude gets abducted by ayyliens and put on a planet with dinosaurs to survive. its ayyliens and monstergirls galore.

he is clearly a weeb having fun, one of the few fun books of the genre I read (and I read a lot). liberals are not the only ones in the genre, you get conservatives like Daniel Schinhofen, who are conservative about everything except getting their dick wet. you also get some guys in the middle

Why do they still keep stat sheets in audio books?
>>11361398
is it well written?

>>11361421
>is it well written?
i think so. its mostly about the survival aspect. i mean there are some sex scenes and obviously mc gets an alien girl harem but its really mostly focused on actually staying alive.

>>11361404
trees need to be exterminated. theyre the niggers of flora.

LitRPG: because lets suck all the tension out of a story by just having it be a video game.

>>11361430
literally the en tire ecosystem as well as all human civilization is built from trees

>>11361437
>tidf

>author constantly uses onomatopoeia
never seen this done before reading Recluce

>>11361430
stinging nettle are the niggers of flora

>>11361437
>unchecked forests actually harm the ecosystem
>trees that grow too large sap the water and light from smaller plants that are more efficient in making oxygen
>trees carry infections in their fruit that they pass on to animals and humans
no trees are niggers and need to be removed.

Trees sitting there, growing for hundreds of years, having dozens of species of animals living in them or eating at their fruits/seeds, harming noone

And some RETARDED PROTAGONIST comes along to destroy them
For NO REASON either, they could punch anything ! But they chose to punch trees ..

>>11361456
fuck you trees.
you know what you did.
humanity wont forget.

>>11361434
well in some cases its one of those "you can die for real" video games. it being a video game does not mean you can't lose, it also means the main focus is the character intersections. how well it works depends on the writer. Thousand Tales: How We Won the Game is not a very good book (as far as I can tell) but its about a guy from some collectivist hell hole who has his brain digitized and is transformed into a griffin. often the concepts end up played out only because the authors make no effort to think up a new angle

>>11361462
Fuck you for providing life sustaining oxygen mother fucking trees

Give me all your books on climbing mysterious structures/towers. I've got a list growing.

>>11361485
it is all a plot of the trees. humans use to be nearly immortal. but due to the forced intake of oxygen our bodies have grown used to oxygen which is actually harmful to us since it accelerates the aging process by constantly damaging our cells.
trees are are evil scum and have planned and successfully executed a longcon to diminish the glory of the human race.

>>11361490
I only know tower of druaga and dungeon seeker

>>11361501
I'm looking for books, not /a/. I wish Tower of God was good

>audible hopes you have enjoyed this program

>>11361516
I can think of books were characters are dungeons or dungeon lords but no tower shit, maybe 1 erotic cyoa

My own novel's over 80,000 words so far and I'm at the point where I'm wondering what the fuck I'm going to do with it when it's done.

Send it out to agents?
Self-publish on Amazon?
Cut it up and turn it into a web serial?
A combination of two of these? Maybe all three (in reverse order, I'd presume)?

The end goal is to make some money, obviously, but I'm not expecting big bucks.

>>11361521
>this book has been broken into 2 parts o make your download faster, you have reached the end of the part but not the end of the book

>>11361534
amazon self publishing is the best option for you. it probably wont sell gangbusters but it will net you starting capital so you can invest in marketing.

>>11361534
self publish and put parts on wattpad. If you have no connections publishing is out, if you have connections you could take a shit on a paper and it would get published, I have seen autists get published

>>11361534
web serial ofc

>>11361528
What. I'm not specifically looking for litRPG or YA or something, this concept isn't all that rare but apparently it is more scarce than I think.

>>11361427
> some sex scenes
I think the author has toned the sex down a lot in the most recent books. Before it was smutrpg, now its just litrpg.

>>11361434
Imagine a action movie that ends with a cut to this guy going DANG THOSE GRAPHICS WERE INTENSE.

>>11361555
meh, sex is what makes it worth reading.
>>11361558
like jumanji or ready player one?

What are some good superhero books?

>>11361398
Is this some spinoff of that garbage wildwastes?

Is Red Rising any good?

>>11361572
no

>>11361572
no.

>>11361576
yes

>>11361576
Helldiver fingers does it all

>>11361576
hell no. Its another story of nonsense societies with MC full of pointless rage and self importance

>>11361576

>>11361571
Kavalier and Clay is the one standout out there, outside of that Viscous is alright and Wild Cards has some very good stuff and a lot of meh stuff (if nothing else read The Sleeper by Zelazny and the three other stories he did with the character).

For an outside shot Worm is good but it's a webnovel that would be the second longest novel ever if it counted so even though the quality is decent it's a massive investment.

>>11361576
It's really fun for a first read but I don't like the sequels as much and RR is very annoying to reread because of some of the plot twists.

>>11361257
Her tits.

And post 'em

>>11361571
Worm is the only decent one I read.

>>11361555
I read the first three and didn't notice any real tonal difference regarding sex. Are there more, or did you just get used to it?

>>11361623
>Viscous
That is more of a dr.doom vs religious reed Richards revenge plot

>>11361404
I just watched the first episode of Wakfu and the villains bled out a tree. Thought of you.

>>11361638
I imagine and Ent when treeposter posts.

>>11361638
how do the french do it? wakfu is as much fetish bait as totally spies was. how do they keep getting away with it?

So I've finally finished Swords and Deviltry, I'm kinda disappointed, It's the worst S&S book I've read so far.

But I noticed it was written after Swords Against Death, so the collection I'm reading isn't in publication order but chronological order, is the earlier stuff better?

>>11361675
No idea but Islam will solve it I'm sure.

>>11361689
oh yeah i completely forgot that france and the uk are pretty much caliphates at this point.

Wow so you didn't read the book. Guess you need a refresher. :-DDDDDD

>>11361935
Why is the cover art so fucking bad? Why do Fantasy/Sci-Fi covers suffer from this?

>>11361948
>As if I give a shit about what occurred in a shitty story about a mimic murdering dumbasses who come into a dungeon to fuck and boosting its arbitrary stats

>>11361953
yea maybe if it was a brother sister couple who were fucking, and the mimic raped them + impregnated both of them

that would be more to you're liking ?

>>11361949
Because cover art is expensive and self-publishing usually means the author can't afford the expense.

>>11361646
Same.

>>11361957
A competent story would be.

>>11361949
I read on a Kindle so I miss most cover art, unfortunately. It's also probably self-published so what are you expecting here?

Letting amazon self-published garbage be discussed in these threads was a mistake. Rothfuss and GRRM are better than this.

If you need a hero, you did the right thing. If you don't mind a little cheerful amorality then stick with it. It's fun.

>>11362114
No it's not. Fuck it, I'll write it. The protagonist will be a 12 year old black girl who lives on !Earth in !Detroit. Her honest,humble,and hardworking father is shot coming home from work by his fellow people of color who resort to crime thanks to the marginalization and discrimination of their people.

This traumatizes her to the point where she enters a fever dream and is travels a landscape of 5th dimensional creatures that breaks down the very concept of reality in her mind. Once she wakes up she finds a tattoo on her chest and that she's far more acrobatic and faster than before.

On the day she has to testify for court she's kidnapped by the men in the gang that shot her father. After taking beatings from them and believing she'll die while they walk free to harm more people the tattoo shines and she transforms. She uses her power (allows her to swap the existence of two people as long as she touches them. If she touched a successful banker and a drug dealer they'd take each others place in life and reality would rewrite itself to accommodate) to swap her existence with the gangsters and causes them to kill each other.

She over exerts her power and passes out and finds herself in a hideout of another magical girl (who has the power to deliver punches that delivers a specific feeling that she's experienced). It turns out that magical girls like her have deeper ties to the city, and world, and she's upset the local magical girls who have their hand in the criminal underworld of !Detroit.

Real sure it's gonna suck.

>>11361935
Just read the first book.

Absolutely amazing, the only litRPG I've truly enjoyed.

>>11362437
theres no way a book with this good of a cover can be good
>self published
theres no way. someone read it just to confirm

>>11362448
Going by the Amazon preview it seems fairly average, but I'll give it a point for a ghost (the flumph looking thing on the cover apparently) annoying the protagonist by sticking it's ghostly tentacles through her head.

>>11362665
Also the book does have a editor listed.

something good with magic academy arc please
and no romance if possible

>>11362682

>>11362696

Has anybody read this? I'm a huge fan of Wayne Barlowe's paintings, but i'm a bit hesitant in thinking that he'll be a good writer

>>11361258
which of these have you read and liked?

>>11361257
naginata

>>11362669
It's just the author using a different name.

>>11362702
Heart stopped when I saw this picture. I fucking loved it and it's probably my favorite book on Hell and demons in general. I can say Wayne Barlowe is just as talented at writing as he is at painting. Marvelous descriptions of battles and very human, compelling characters, nothing is cliche at all and it's like a breath of fresh, sulfurous, warm air in an otherwise underrated genre of fiction taking place in Hell.

>>11361490
Seinlen ascends or sufficiently advanced fit pretty well.

>Litrpg = Western Isekai Light Novels. I don't know they're being shilled so heavily though, did we get linked to from Reddit again?
i think its the lack of interesting new books. i dont know why but nowadays everything seems to be formulaic. not that litrpgs arent but their settings tend to be unusual. i also appreciate how the people that read them know what they want and arent lording over people how their choice of fiction is superior to others. they know what they want and discuss it without pissing of other people by acting like snobs. i can appreciate that.

>>11363311
It's like a let's play of World of Warcraft or any other MMORPG in written form. And that includes the loot so you will have the character deciding on what gear he wants to wear and talking about items of rare/epic/legendary quality.

>>11363351
Maybe try to use capital letters and apostrophes.

Any litrpg authors that graduated Magna Cum Laude?

Of course not.
That would require some actual smarts.

Dragonlance managed to stay consistently decent throughout most of its main books.

Is Gibson a hack? When I read his Sprawl books, the only one I ever did like was Neuromancer, but not as much as everyone else seems to love it. Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive had a couple of cool ideas, but they were really dull and went nowhere with their stories. He seems to do the science part of science fiction alright, but when it comes down to giving them a story, it just falls flat.
Is it because I'm a bit too late with his books, and they've really lost their "WOW, HE PREDICTED X BEFORE X??"-factor that every brainlet seems to praise him for?

well, definitely one of the best prose stylists in the genre, but prone to the convoluted plots, vaporware, overly happy endings, often desperately whoring for the 'new cool'; didn't really stayed punk enough but never went to edginess and reddit. actually, one of the rare sf writers I'm not ashamed to read. but if upcoming book - agency is bad as it's synopsis then I'm out.

I just finished reading Solaris for the /sffg/ reading group and have a couple of questions:

>what happened with Sartorious? You never hear about him after the things stop appearing near the end

>what was the deal with the straw hats?

>>11364480
>>11364348
I'm a fan of the Burning Chrome collection, Neuromancer, and Count Zero. Mona Lisa Overdrive was cashgrabby but I still liked it. Then I hated all three Bridge novels. Ok, hate's a strong word but I only kept reading them to see if there was anything I liked but nope. He changed his prose and I had zero connection to the plot and protagonists. I did like Pattern Recognition but haven't read anything else yet.

>>11364596
You'll get tired of them long before book 22.

>>11361250
She may be around 29 but she’s written like she’s closer to 14

I really really liked the 3rd book of the Three-Body Problem
That entire series was so fun, and I really felt I learnt somethings about China, at least
So weird how it went from sort of realistic thriller-thing, to super abstract and just messing around

One thing that always bugs me in sci fi, when thing leaves "marks" on space-time, why would they follow the exact planets/solar systens they where made by around.
I feel such things shouldn't move around with orbiting systems, rather be grounded deeper in the layers of space, really makes no sense that a stain on spacetime should follow your planet around, when it could move about and at least are spinning in orbit, around a sun that is spinning in orbit in orbit of some galaxy

I just don't get the fixed points in space scifi sometimes got, when there really are no space coordinates as I think, everything is just in motion relative to everything else

I have to agree with that.

Back to /pol/ with you.

No, you're not right. It's Edward Gibbon meets American exceptionalism. The scrappy can-do American upstart rebuilding civilization after the old world collapse and skipping over the dark age to boot.

The only jewey part is the last volume, but that was written in the eighties.

Guys, I just finished BotNS for the first time. Feel like I need a cigarette and a cold shower. Does it get better than this?

>>11366307
>Does it get better than this?

Yes.

Reading it a second time, then wrapping up with Urth of the New Sun.

>>11366331
If it weren't for my backlog, I'd be re-reading BotNS right now.

Also, a friend recommended Jack Vance. Is he "read sometime in the future"-tier, or "buy a copy and stay up late right now"-tier?

>>11366587
He's one of my fave reccs from here.

Is volume 2 up somewhere? Nothing on mobilism.

>>11366747
It's a webnovel, google it

>>11366758
to be fair the volumes are much better than the novel. they have actual editing and proofreading.

>>11366747
Search for it on royal road you faggot.

>>11366793
sure but the webnovel is way ahead

I think you guys should visit some the novelties in 4chan like the CYOA thread on /tg/ >>>/tg/60488555

You first mr. shitposter.

/tg/ isnt what it used to be.
>hfy threads are just reposts no original content anymore
>elf threads happen only to sexualize the elf never to discuss proper treatment of your elf slaves or how to get them down from trees if they dont wanna come down

>no more settlers of catan threads
>no more threads about breaking game systems or expsing flaws that send gms and game makers into panic mode
>no more unlich the unmaker campaigns

yeah nah /tg/ a shit.

>>11367167
>implying the elf threads are the only kind of creature discussion
>implying there is not a new regular general now for boardgames like catan
>implying there is not a new regular thread about system design

Yeah, nah, you are just shitposting.

>>11367159
/tg/ is nothing but generals now. It's /vg/, wallowing in its own shit, but at least /vg/ knows it. /tg/ still tries to meme about "getting shit done!!" but it doesn't actually get shit done anymore. It's just the same people endlessly circlejerking about the same shit. Any hope for it actually progressing died when /qst/ was born.

>>11367167
>"/tg/ has no more discussion I supposedly like"

We're two different people, mate. It's shocking, I know, but more than one person can like or dislike something.

Are proxies allowed on 4chan?

Why is genre fiction such utter shit? I used to love it..

>>11367200
Are you hating everything just to be contrarian or is a regular jobs?

>>11367200
Because history hasn't weeded them out yet. The genre fiction that stands the test of time gets upgraded to literary status.

>>11367214
Hmm.. That makes perfect sense, but I feel like I've read all the worthwhile Golden Age science fiction..

>>11367211
They think it elevates them when it only makes them look like petulant children in the middle of a hissy fit

>>11367228
No, I just want really good stuff that I haven't read already.

>tfw the translator aren't updating new chapters on time
fucking fuck

>>11367231
>"""golden age"""

>>11363344
I get why people read litrpg sometimes you just want some garbage that is somewhat entertaining.
But I don't understand why they shill it so much.

>>11367247
Okay buddy, whatever you meme.

>>11367241

>>11367252
>>11367252
Fuck off /outerlit/

>>11367248
Maybe they are insecure about reading garbage?
Like every other hysterically insecure poster on /lit they should be reading the most obscure of classics instead of reading genre fiction written by some dude who has a hate boner for trees.
Truly baffling.

>>11367261
>learn chinese
yeah after 5-7 years i'll finally got to read the new chapters

>>11367248
it's a novel but for "gamers"
thats why they shill it so much

>>11367261
>>11367271
Who even wants to learn the language of insect people?

>>11367270
False dilemma.
In reality pretty much everything is quickly of higher quality than litrpg.
That includes the latest Anne Rice novel.

>>11367248
its probably because there isnt much coming out fast. notice how most novels take countless months and sometimes even years to come out?
most of the amazon crowd or the litrpg types seem to turn out a book every other months or so.
i dont think its about the content or the quality of the book. it probably rather is about the act of reading something anything that is released consistently.

>>11367285
>latest Anne Rice novel
While I mostly agree with you:
>Blood Communion: A Tale of Prince Lestat
that's taking it a bit too far. Gay vampires, excuse me, pansexual vampires are very much litrpg.

>>11361257
A gun.

And maybe try to put some efforts in your posts, mouth-breather.

>>11367316
yea but he's churning out better quality than webnovel shits

>>11367325
Yeah, but those are mostly just Tolkien-esque copypastes.

>>11367333
Tolkien-ripoffs like Eragon haven't been a majority of fantasy releases since the early 90s.
YA has completely driven Tolkien away. And with the growing popularity of WoT, aSoIaF and the like Tolkien has further become a lesser presence.
And if you include Sci-Fi then there have always been plenty of options.
There are hundreds of review sites, thousands of novels released each year, saying something like "its probably because there isnt much coming out fast." or "Yeah, but those are mostly just Tolkien-esque copypastes." just reeks of idiocy.

>>11367346
>Tolkien-ripoffs like Eragon haven't been a majority of fantasy releases since the early 90s.

>Implying 90% of Fantasy isn't swords and spells and orcs and humans and elves and dwarves n' shit

Clearly you don't pay much attention.

>>11367346
i think by coming out fast he meant the continuation of one series, by reading one book this month, next month new book already came out
something like that

When is it coming out, bros?

>Wants an original series.
>Not reading Throne of Glass.
What's your excuse?

This, also learn to use Vim.

>>11367405
vim might be too much for non programmer

>>11367415
I guess you are right. To be honest I haven't picked up Emacs org-mode and use GJots2 instead, is a good writer and outliner I use for all of my writings. Easy to use too.

PS: Not a programmer or even a sysadmin myself but came to love the fast editing from vi-like programs.

Does anyone know of any non feudal fantasy with a Borgia, Medici-esque focus on competing families focusing on money and position.

I'm reading Luna series by Ian Mcdonald and surprised i can't recall much fantasy along similar lines.

>>11367405
>vim

i a friend of mine is writing articles and short stories for papers and magazines. he does everything only in latex.

>>11366961
There was a quest thread called "omnipotence quest" about an omnipotent mage quelling his boredom by fucking with mortals that was hands down one of the best written stories I had seen that year.

It's a shame that the release of dnd 5th edition ruined everything.

>>11367507
also enjoyed the McDonald stuff but don't think there really is something so close in fantasy that focuses on feuding trading or banking houses. Which is a shame. I would totally read a novel about the internal and external machinations of the Iron Bank.

There is this however if you don't mind historical fiction.

>>11367507
>listening to the audiobook of the sequel

>>11367614
You'd think futas would be more popular in litrpg.

Yeah I don't want to read it online. I want to download vol 2 for my Kindle so I can not read it on my screen.

>>11366961

Dude, he just used small caps.

What's your most basic criteria for a fantasy novel? Personally I look at the first few pages and if I see a dumb fantasy name that I can't easily know how to pronounce or that sounds stupid and made-up then I don't read the book.

>>11367717
I read the first chapter, if it's meandering I'll drop it.
