I've been spending too much time on Royal Road lately. As much as I dislike Amazon, Kindle Unlimited is how the authors writing the things I want to read make a living. Well, "living" might be overstating it a bit. Never-the-less, I can't afford to subscribe to fifty Patreons, and at least someone, somewhere, gets something if I read on KU. Problem is that Royal Road is way better at pushing me books I enjoy than Amazon/Goodreads are, and literally none of the openweb book sites (bookworm, etc.) seem to have any #litrpg readers at all. So anyone wanna sell me on something on #KindleUnlimitted? Right now, I'm looking for #cozy#litrpg or #ProgressionFantasy, #HaremLit and smut are okay as long as there's also plot, #PowerFantasy only if the main character is a sweetheart, and I have a slight preference for #Isekai or #PortalFantasy, or fun offbeat main characters. I'm in the mood for something that vaguely matches the vibes of stuff like Terminate the Other World! by Icalos, Courier Quest by Flossindune, This Used To Be About Dungeons by Alexander Wales, or Beesong Chronicles by Benjamin Medrano. Please don't recommend anything by Logan Jacobs or Eric Vall; they always sound okay, but end up disappointing me. Kindle Unlimited isn't a hard requirement, I'll buy a book if it matches the above vibes and isn't on KU.
@fastfinge I've got you. I think. Not sure which ones go to #litrpg and which ones to #progressionfantasy , but there were few that stood out: Wandering Inn - definitely off beat main character Quest Academy, Return of the runebound professor, Ascension of the street rat, The runic artist. Mother of learning? All series, should be on KU. Cradle, and The stormlight archive get a bit stale after n-th book, but first ten should be okay.
@RakowskiBartosz Yeah, it's not so much that I want to read on Kindle, as that I want authors to get money, but can't afford to individually pay every single author I read.
@fastfinge if they publish on RR, then I presume they're okay with % of their fans simply reading their books. If you appreciate them publicly and recommend good books, it may be surprisingly valuable
@RakowskiBartosz I read the first few volumes of Wandering Inn and enjoyed it. But it started to feel like...it was getting long and vast just for the sake of it? And didn't have any focus.
Agreed about Cradle! Good fun for the first while, though.
@fastfinge It's great, very funny, but a lot of gallows humor, came out in July, the next one is next year which is the conclusion of it. My goodreads is here somewhere, I have hundreds of things on that.
