I'm more than halfway through mage errant which is like a less quality version of mother of learning (student centric but no time stuff), but still very enjoyable zero to hero.

for litrpg I finished 'system apocolypse' recently, which I enjoyed. Funny, I went into it right after cradle and it was jarring. Very quickly realized how quality the writing of cradle was.

I discovered system apocolypse because i've been using ai to track down finished series even though they're typically a bit iffy quality, kind of pivoting out of litrpg into zero to hero for this reason, as there's a lot more finished stuff.

Listening to Morningwood; Everybody loves large chests by Neven Iliev on Audible.

Started this this morning. First book is short but good so far. Protagonist is a mimic.

Go through book one mainly because of Hays, feels like a c tier movie you only watched because you really like one of the actors.

Man, I'm struggling with HWFWM. I'm almost half way through book 1, awesome that it's almost 24 hours in audible, most of the books seem to be 20+ hours long. I bought the first 12 on s crazy sale a while back.

1st, the narrator must have a sound board for " Jason says" and "Gary said". He'll say whatever the character says, pause, then add "character says ". I can't *sink* into this.

I know every main character has to have main character power, but I'm just not getting it. And his smugness after leaving a world where his family dissed him after his brother took his gf. No progression from lone looser to gifted adventurer.

And the political lean of the author isn't the worst, but enough that it's almost the straw on the camels back.

Does this get better? So many compare it to Primal hunter, and it's just not for me

Funny, I thought the first 3 were the peak for that series.

First book was very bad. It does get better, but the guys political lean gets worse.

On book 11 of HWFWM. It's a mid book series. There are redeeming parts, but the exposition and the author injecting his politics gets much worse as the series goes on. It's getting to therapy quest by therapist sanderson levels of THERAPY at times during book 11. Hard to say if I'd put it above or below dungeon fighter carl. The series have about an equal level of gay retarded going on. I definitely wouldn't be this far in the series if I didn't pirate it and wasn't getting paid to read it.
