Behold, I have answered the question:

"I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl and want to check out more LitRPG/Progression Fantasy. What should I read next?"

Yeah, I've seen some people call it an isekai, which boggles me a bit. Like... yes, it has some things in common with them, but it's explicitly not. It's Earth, full of Earthlings and visitors.

I cannot pull it off every year, but it is a deeply satisfying quest for me.

My proudest one was when, after years of searching, I found undamaged copies of some vintage X-Men posters my husband had on his closet doors growing up. He was astounded.

You could try Apocalypse Parenting with her :D Maybe on a Christmas car trip? My narrator is legit AF and Matt Dinniman approves of my series.

Just a few more options for your perusal:

No one knows. It's okay.

I feel like this would be more appropriate for Lent, although as far as I know Lent calendars are not a thing.

Oh, fun! Thanks for the heads-up.

They were on Kindle Unlimited so I already snagged them to give them a try after tearing through Dakota Krout's Damsels of Distress series.

Trying to be a good girl and go through more of my SPSFC judging allocation first, though.

Oh, what? I know I need to keep going through her stuff, but I didn't realize that! Which ones?
December 3, 2025 at 3:09 AM
No! Thanks. :D

100% agree. Like, it's such a great song, but also every single lyric is so appropriate to what the characters are feeling right at that exact moment in time.

I was *super* impressed.

Yep, that's a mobile thing. I've heard if you download the image, that works for some people?

I'm guessing you're on mobile? I think the mobile app compresses images. If you're on desktop just click on it, then right click and open in a new tab. That should let you zoom in successfully.

Looks like you pulled it off, though! I can see some imperfections when I zoom in, but none at all as I was scrolling by, so it'll look great from table distance. People aren't supposed to look at your miniatures like this:

You could try some of these?

Also Player Manager, which I read after making this chart. It sounds like a utterly boring concept but it was just delightful.

I am also a fan, but I'd be interested in reading that essay, so message me if you write it please!

It *should* be okay, but probably best between books 3&4. If you try a different reading order, I'd love to hear your impressions of how it went! I know lots of people start with that one first.
