Looking for a new book and wanted to create a ranking list to get some ideas. Found this recent tool:



The cool part is that you can shove in all your book ratings and it'll average them for a series. You can see that in their tier list:

Rank n Read

ranknread.com ranknread.com

I created a tier list but i think something is broken :D I've attached a screenshot. Any suggestions? Please no spoilers, don't tell me anything that I won't learn in the first chapterish. I like to go in fresh!

I think I broke that ranknread site. I have almost 1000 books that I imported to it from Goodreads, it lost a lot of ratings, and the suggestions it gave are ass.

I feel like you might have read some of these, but I'll just go off of that pic.

Anyway, a direct recommendation similar to a lot of those you have listed would be the Unbound series. A LOT of similarities with several of those series, but distinct enough where I still like it. And since I know you don't mind all the core-building bullshit, this one has that too. At least this guy only does it for relatively short times, not seemingly years on end like that dickhead in DotF.

Path of Ascension is pretty good too, although later on there are some slow moments.

if you like school settings, Quest Academy really hit on all cylinders for me. I am sure others will dislike parts of it, but I loved it.

Savage Awakening is pretty good, like DotF-lite.

We Hunt Monsters is decent-ish, and since you seem to have a better tolerance for dickhead main characters you might enjoy it. Over 10 books already.

Murderhobo started amazing, got a little less, but only 3 books and done so a complete story.

And even though it isn't litrpg, I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest The King Henry Tapes by a former FoH'er (thread down below somewhere). To paraphrase the author, mix Harry Potter with Pulp Fiction, and that's close to what you can expect. I fucking love it, but I'm biased too, as I'm friendly-ish with the author, so take that into consideration.

DCC at any tier outside S invalidates your list.

Just finished silvers, quest academy 1.

Silvers (Quest Academy, #1)

I don't know why it was in my library, maybe a sale. But i read it because it was highly rated on goodreads. I enjoyed it, especially since it had dual narrators but there was no challenge to the protagonist or any character flaws. The MC and his best friend had the most bullshit powers and there was never a time where anything bad happened to them or any tribulation to overcome.

Yeah, Quest Academy isn't for everyone, but like I said, something in the school stuff just clicked for me. It might get a little more "conflict-y" later on, but even Book 2 didn't have a ton of it.

Glad you like Savage Awakening. That one was far, far easier for me to stomach in terms of breakthroughs and meditations and shit. I'd still prefer none, but I can tolerate a little. I also like the main character way more...although he's just as OP as every single one of these guys.

Enjoying this so far, but this is my headcanon for who Zane is.

Void Void finished the first book of Savage Awakening. My headcanon about these characters was reinforced after Zane met Evan. Here is a 100% canonical adventure they had in cartoon form:

I started reading ultimate level one in the beginning of April and just burned through 7 books of it. Pretty good series of you guys haven't read any of it. MC is kinda op though, but I like the world and there's not a lot of bullshit filler in there to inflate a page count.

Are there any good ones that have something similar to like a DnD style pugilist, or the like. I've always been obsessed with Hand to Hand combat specifically, so anything like that would be really interesting to me.

I was reminded of this discussion when I was reading one recently.


For a real high level summary, guy gets isekaied to fantasy world by an archmage, who turns out to be.. uh, a bit of an asshat. ( Really, anyone who extra-dimensionally kidnaps people to do stuff for them is probably an asshat in general, but this guy goes the extra mile ).

When the archmage gets insistent, guy ends up taking a magic resistance talent that makes him unable to use magic, and to gradually destroy magic items that he is touching so that he can escape.

He ends up as a hand-to-hand fighter because non-magical weapons aren't worth shit, and he can't use magical weapons.

I've read the first few books of the series, and I thought it was well-written, pretty entertaining and had a good pace of character progression that is actually meaningful. ( and occasionally funny - when the downsides of the 'run at the casters and punch them' start to become obvious they try various evolving strategies starting with 'hang onto this rock when we launch it at the enemy' ;p )

Worldbuilding is interesting, with sort of mid-fantasy setting, but where the world undergoes periodic apocalypses that knock everyone back to the stoneage, so it's full of remnants of previous magictech civilisations, or necromantic empires or high-fantasy settings.

It's an interesting take, where the MC's knowledge of Earth science would lead to a lot of great tricks with magic, but he can't use it, so is teaching other members of his adventuring team. A bit of tech uplift going on too - I liked the overall dynamic with his team.
