A) If you're a fan/author of those genres or write those genres, lemme know? I wanna like have more people I can talk about this with but so many LitRPG spaces are full of the worst kind of Gamers that it's hard to chat much in them. If there's enough of us I might make a discord or something.

B) If you are a fan/author, are you also interested in dungeon core as a subgenre? I ask because like...that's my pet genre and what I'm looking to get back into with my shiny new name.

in reply to @estrogen-and-spite's post:

I'm a fan of LitRPGs! I haven't read a ton of dungeon core stories though. I think my favorites overall right now are Ar'Kendrithyst (which is terrible to spell lol) and Path of Ascension.

weirdo asocial protags who aren't fun about it, like they're just awkward because of bad writing rather than being intentionally awkward

Fights being so limp because they're blow by blow but it's not even evocative, the most beige prose as peeps strike eachother.

the world being some totally-not-tolkien slop, or basic cultivation-world.

The only LitRPG I enjoyed was a short story, RELATIVE TIME KNIFE.
but that's because I stopped reading them because I couldn't find ones I liked, and don't have the patience to wade through 100 chapters for something to abandon its premise and become flat.

I sounded bitter in that but like, I just can't find stories I like in it.

Gotcha, I'll think about it. I like to think my stories meet those criteria (Awkward levels is subjective but I pride myself in my fight sequences and Keldora takes place in a wasteland overrun by giant bugs while Dinosaur Dungeon takes place on a world that's a web of spheres connected by silk strands and is in the process of diverting from Tolkienian fantasy) but that's all subjective. I'll ask some people I know who share your complaints (as do I) to try and find some stuff that fits you! <3

I tried, last year, to do a NaNoWriMo thing that brought in elements of Factorio Seablock, Traveller's 2023 Robot Handbook, and some of my existing setting worldbuilding, to create "a von neumann robot is shot from an FTL cannon across the galaxy to create an outpost/transit hub from scratch."

The problem with this premise was that it's a cool fantasy but the specifics of the cool fantasy meant there was nobody for the protagonist to talk to, and I can only care about throughput issues on iron plates for so long without there being someone to talk to, just to break up the monotony.

So, uh. Yeah, don't make that mistake: the protagonist always needs someone to talk to, or else people like me lose interest.
