I recently read Dominion of Blades, and I enjoyed the drat thing. I'll give Stratus Online a shot next.

Party Plane Jones posted:I'm currently deep into the Loralynn Kennakris series and I gotta say, aside from Alarm of War it definitely has some of the grimmer background/story to the universe. The vastness of the universe giving rise to a thriving slave trade (with all that that entails) means the main character has a background you don't see that often. Agreed. The author writes neat magical systems, but also has some Gor-level opinions.

Victorkm posted:Just finished book 4 of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Jesus christ was it good. Best of the series so far IMO. The Special Event near the end was one of the funniest things I had read in the series so far. My favorite part was the AI's new fetish Carl: *escapes from fish monster's mouth* AI: I think I felt it jump a little

Darkrenown posted:I started reading Thousand Li #1 last night, but I got bored pretty quickly. Does it get better? Murderhobo hit a sweet spot for me in terms of being over the top weird. Definitely not a great book, but I enjoyed it and will read it if more come out in that series.

Silynt posted:I recently read the Menocht Loop and liked it enough to continue reading the rest of the story online. Time loop story about a necromancer (technically not, but that’s for the story to explain). Give it a shot. I read and enjoyed that, I'm looking forward to more when they are available on Kindle.

Victorkm posted:I thought the previews of what was coming next for the MCs were promising as well in "Anything." And the full reveal of what The Bard was doing in the frame story was cool too. The bard's big adventure caught me off guard and I liked it.

With all the love the Cradle series gets here and other places, I'm going to have to try to read them again. I read the first one, maybe the second, but it just didn't click for me.

I read Beware of Chicken this week based on chat in this thread, and two big thumbs up from me on it.

I love Drew Hayes' The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant series, I've reread it a few times, just a good enjoyable read.

Cicero posted:Menocht Loop book 4 is out. I like the series quite a bit. Book 2 was meh, but 1 and 3 were good. I really liked book 4, I was disappointed when it finished because I want more.

I grabbed them because they were free, and upon downloading, it looks like I didn't even finish the first one and just gave up like 3/4 through. I read some real trash on KU, so this must have been pretty bad.

tokenbrownguy posted:I feel that. Despite liking DCC I couldn't get into Kaiju. Bailed when the MC had to watch his sister? partner? start using again as part of the torture porn. Definitely not my poo poo. I've been reading/skimming the I Shall Seal The Heavens series on KU, and oh boy could it be cut by about 60% and not lose anything.

Silynt posted:I’ve spent my time traveling over the past few days binging the first 3 books in The Frith Chronicles and it’s been surprisingly fun. I would say they are some of the best non-Cradle profession fantasy I’ve read on the platform. Some of the characters are a little thin but the prose is competent, which is better than most KU poo poo can manage. And not a stat box in sight! I really like that same author's Nexus Games series, so i'll have to check out the frith chronicles.

Cicero posted:That was the funniest part of the book but otherwise dunno if it was really the highlight. That would be throwing the Elder who just looks like a little kid off a cliff. That sounds pretty funny, maybe I should give that another shot.

Because I don't want to hurt the indie KU people I give a 5star if the book is at least decent, and don't leave a rating at all if I don't like it so I don't trash their numbers.
