Whats the deal with the authors names? Most of these trash ones all seem to be two initials, last name. Like SL Smith. Is it something to do with an algorithm?

StrixNebulosa posted:There's been a weird upsurge in Japanese light novels featuring slavery as a good thing and I'm not thrilled to see that attitude spreading. Its just weird and the unrealized implications take me right out of it. All these stories with perfect slavery magic or contract magic (basically the same thing) that have no downsides to the master. These societies should be 100 percent slaves with one person controlling everything, but its never explained why that hasn't happened.

The Land books are definitely getting worse. Lots of spelling mistakes/missing words. And the pacing is worse. He even includes a pointless army boot camp section too.

navyjack posted:Just finished the most recent book in the Respawn Series by Arthur Stone. I have a weird relationship with these books because I really like them and I know I shouldn’t. I just read them all thanks to your req. I would have to agree. I also liked the zombie parts, how the zombies mutate and advance was nice. And he handled it pretty well with how at the start the basic zombies were a bit of a challenge and the advanced ones were super nightmares. I like the crazy evolved zombies, I get bored when the zombie books all just boil down to other people being the real monsters. Only thing bad was how aggressively stupid the main character was at the start. I think it had an exchange like this about 3 different times. -Main Character is doing something obviously stupid. Old Veteran sees this and says: Hey there moron, you are doing it all wrong, I've been in this crazy world for years, and I've learned three things to help you survive, the first is to always... MC: gently caress you rear end in a top hat, who are you to call me a moron!@!!@! I think the author realized this, because in a later book he finds out that he is actually stupid/brain damaged until he gets to level 10.

Victorkm posted:I'm in the middle of book 2 of the Idle System and hoo boy is this really really badly written. It's readable but prose is drat near nonexistent and contains the sentence "He did a martial arts salute..." multiple times throughout the book but never once explains what that is or what it looks like. Its just so stupid, I read all of them. The authors afterwords are great, at book 2 he starts getting really defensive about the stupid stuff in the earlier books. Spoilers for the series,... At the end the MC gets time travel powers and spends the whole book going back in time to fix/explain all the plot holes and really stupid stuff that happened in the earlier books, that the author had previously defended in his afterwords.

I think it's to have the power fantasy without making the reader feel bad. If the MC gets good skills through practice and hard work then what's stopping you from not being useless? But if they only can do it because the SYSTEM uses their video game skills in real life, well then there is nothing to be done.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Not only do all places not have the same rules, rules have changed over time in many places. In a grounded dystopian fantasy world set in the very near future, it's not impossible for it to change. Plus debt collectors love to try that poo poo even if it isn't legal. In this story the debt collectors do trick him into taking the debt. They call him in to get his inheritance, some small amount of stuff, and that gets him to sign for the debts.
