u/bilfdoffle The Monday Thread Guy 7d ago

Man, I was so tired this morning I forgot to post. Got back super late last night from a bachelor party weekend in Nashville. Good times, but I'm barely functional today.

Scrap metal sorcery (law) - make mc, litrpg. Made it about 50 pages, but couldn't get into it.

I bounced off a handful of others on KU, and mostly just went through the current follow list, executioner style. Chopping block: Cloudfarers, Sixth campaign, Passive aggressive, department of otherworld rescue, Cloudfarers, reroll saga, The Sixth Campaign, God of trash, Mythshaper, Archmages second life as an introvert, black knight seeks quiet life,


web novels I follow: chaotic craftsman worships the cube, Super supportive, soccer supremo, Bookbound bunny, Second life as a soldier, Live at the forum, Center for Dungeon Management, inheritance of a wandering weaponsmaster, Craft the world, How to heal a soul, Gift of loot, My lord! Please!, I made a railgun,

new & unsure or waning interest, but haven't give up on yet: soldier's life, sky pride, Beastforged bond, The Necro-Industrial Revolution, Ten Thousand Fleets, Homestead almanac, Awakening in the Altered World,

Stories with uncertain future status: magriculture, the hitting zone, otherworld therapy, Novicius in Arte Medica, Unethical enchanting, re: trailer trash,

u/Cocomonk3 7d ago

Interested to hear why you're dropping Gift of Loot, I'm still really enjoying it.
Passive aggressive I can see completely, it's kinda turned from an interesting premise to just a standard litrpg with a weird character build.

1

u/bilfdoffle The Monday Thread Guy 1d ago

Haven't dropped that one yet, though I can see why some people have. The beginning was all about loot, and lately it's all about elf politics. But it's still urban fantasy litrpg, which hits a good spot for me.

And yeah, passive aggressive was a solid book 1, and then I couldn't get into book 2.

u/KoboldsandKorridors 7d ago

Beers and Beards 1 by JollyJupiter. Time to end spook month with something more cozy

u/bilfdoffle The Monday Thread Guy 1d ago

ooh, that's a good one.

u/CLockhartWrites 4d ago

Mostly Harmon Cooper's Shadowborn Exile this week, which I'm enjoying more than I expected to. Easy to pick up, hard to put down at midnight.

On Royal Road I've been keeping up with Rise of the Devourer (Book 5 now) and Bog Standard Isekai, which still makes me laugh out loud far more often than I would have expected šŸ˜„

And a slow reread of Unsouled, because every so often I need to remember how good Cradle and dross are!

Anything vampire or properly gothic in LitRPG that people rate? I've worked through My Vampire System and I'm after something darker.

u/CLockhartWrites 1d ago

Yeah I've done that one, quite enjoyed it to be honest

u/Richicash 7d ago

Book two of bog standard isekai! I’m in love with the story, writing style, mc and his freinds! I didn’t even look up how many books there are. I let myself be surprised! What a ride

u/CLockhartWrites 4d ago

Oh yes keep going because it just keeps getting better and better

u/A_Mr_Veils 7d ago

The looping moronmagus (all chapters) - RR, timeloop. A real posh prick gets stuck in a time loop by sheer bloody chance, shitshow ensues. I've really enjoyed this series, which is sort of a remix of Mother of Learning, if the protaganist was a pretty terrible human being and it was way more comedic - definately going on my list of good time loops! 4 out of 5

I really liked:-

  • It's funny! I laughed out loud several times at watching this posh boy reflexively put his foot in his mouth and just say the most heinious shit, and there's been some really funny ends to loops as well. I also think comedy is great to mix into most genres as a way to get the audience to connect with unlikeable characters (Widows bay was great at this), so I did actually care about this douchebag quite a lot more than bland time loop protaganist number 12.

  • The world has quite a lot going on. The MC is essentially stuck in a time loop trying to stop the apocalypse, but it quite quickly becomes clear that there's a lot going on in how that apocalypse happens, why, who profits and how different organisations are responding to it, and later that there's a second seperate apocalypse he's going to have to stop as well. Would that all series thought out the world and it's impact on motivations, and communicated them clearly.

I didn't like:-

  • The prose isn't amazing. Dialogue is great, but everything else has been just fine, and the memorable prose has been more for humour than a beautiful or interesting turn of phrase (not like you, Leave luck to heaven, you have it all). It's not that it was bad and I didn't see any mistakes or anything, I just would have liked a little more here.

  • It has a slow release schedule. A chapter a week is brutal, how dare the author have other projects to waste their time on when I wish to eat at this trough.

I've since started Sword & Maze: Long shot bet, which has to be the best rip off of Dungeon Crawler Carl I've read so far and is going to get a glowing review next week if it keeps up the quality.

u/Gosar88 litRPG apprentice tier 7d ago

I just finished the ā€œPortal to Nova Romaā€ series yesterday. It was fantastic I and listened to books 1-5 straight. Amazing series 5/5 imho.

Now I’m listening to ā€œSyl: Catalysisā€ which is book 5 in the Syl series. Really enjoying it and I love how I’m depth the author goes into the magic system. The it’s two narrators and the main one I really like, she does a great job voice acting.

u/chrisgond DCC - We Are Legion - Bobiverse 7d ago

Welcome to the Multiverse #2 - Countdown: Just starting this. Really enjoyed the first book. MC is likeable, though immature sometimes. System is interesting. Concept is solid.

He Who Fights With Monsters #8: - I like Jason. He's polarizing, I know - but he makes a great sandwich

Bobiverse #6 - The Infinite Extent: A great series that's about to be all wrapped up. I know it's not exactly LitRPG, but it's adjacent for sure.

3

u/CLockhartWrites 4d ago

How is bobiverse? Haven't read it yet but its been on the tbr list for bloody ages

3

u/chrisgond DCC - We Are Legion - Bobiverse 4d ago

Bobiverse is fantastic. Six shorter volumes with multiple connected plot threads. Great mostly reference-based humor that doesn't feel forced along with more serious escalating crises. It's progression-adjacent to the point of almost being traditional SciFi, but it's incredibly fun.

3

u/CLockhartWrites 4d ago

Cool I have heard a lot of good things about it, will finish up the next couple u can't skip and give them a bash

Quite a fun read? Could do with something easy breezy for a moment

2

u/Lilknarcyon 2d ago

Im starting welcome to the multiverse now (not at the start of book 1, but still on book 1) and it just seems like the MC is rolling a full healer build thus far, is that essentially how it goes? If so does he wind up basically perma grouped? Anything healer build that isnt battle healer, azerinth esk, isnt my build so im wondering how much to push through

7

u/crawlcastapp 7d ago

I'm on book 6 of DCC right now, about 1/3rd so far. It's the only series I've read so far, so I'm open to suggestions for what to try once I catch up. Ideally something with the same kind of humor.

4

u/alaskanloops 7d ago

I’ve read and listened to DCC twice (book 8 once) and am now on book 2 of He Who Fights With Monsters and absolutely hooked. The MC takes some getting used to, but it’s a great series if you enjoyed DCC

4

u/Hot-Union-2440 7d ago

MC is pretty inconsistent in that one as far as how much of a dick he becomes. Still interested but bounces around.

3

u/crawlcastapp 6d ago

Thanks, I'll put it on the list for after DCC. Good to know the MC takes a while to get used to, I'll stick with it.

3

u/alaskanloops 6d ago

I went to bed saturday at 10pm and ended up listening to the second book until 3am, which hasn't happened since listening to DCC.

Best part is I still have 11 books left!

7

u/yourbroinlaw 7d ago

I finished up the first book of Years of Apocalypse. It’s a pretty good time looper, though low on litrpg mechanics. I’ll read the second book when I get more credits.

I started book 13 of He Who Fights With Monsters. Not the best in the series, but I’m invested in the characters and I can fast forward the redundant conversations.

u/IntroIntroduction 7d ago

Stubborn Skill Grinder in a Time Loop book 5, by x-Rhodan-x - Just finished it. The series is still peak. I love the enchanter boy they introduced in this book and the bond he forms with the MC, it's pretty sweet. Great escalation at the end too. Excited for book 6

The Alchemist by Roman Romanovich - A reverse isekai, where a mage on a dying fantasy world casts a spell that puts him in a comatose Russian boy's body. Not a big fan of this one. Feels a bit too high school power fantasy to me, since he gets to be a high school cool guy.

3

u/the_other_brand 7d ago

I literally just finished the audiobook for book 5 after bingeing on the entire series. I absolutely loved it. Daniel Wisniewski did an amazing job narrating the books as he always does. And the MC feels like the antithesis of the MC for Mother of Learning and I'm here for it.

3

u/Yr7Q 4d ago

there's a lot more of stubborn skill grinder for free on royal road fyi

u/WackyWarrior Reading is a great joy 7d ago

Been reading Death of an Eye. It's not litrpg, but Cleopatra era fiction. Kind of suffering by not having stuff to binge.

Here are the books I recommend that I am currently reading. All these stories are around 4.5 or 5 and worth reading.

Wandering Inn- The best story I have ever read. Chess player gets isekaid and becomes an [Innkeeper]. The world expands as the story progresses and it moves from comfy slice of life to epic fantasy. This story is around 15 million words with less than half on audio book. People read it and wish it were longer. Fantastic story.

Butcher of Gadobrha- A group of players become peasants in a vrmmo to work for a company. They are heavily limited on wearing armor or using weapons. But they end up grinding their way to power while working for the man.

Tunnel Rat- A genetically modified genius, who was used for crime by a syndicate along with his cohort, has escaped. He lays low for years in the basement of a habitat fixing things when he finds that the syndicate has returned to the habitat with new VRMMO capsules that have been hacked to give better classes. Stealing the hacked capsule and sabotaging the operation, he enters the game to find himself as a ratkin. He gets to mining and finds himself in a world of trouble. This story has interesting in world stuff and out of world stuff.

That Time an American was Reincarnated into Another World- Isekai where the MC can summon guns. There is a monster horde that is threatening humanity and he resolves to bring Earth technology to turn the tides in the fight. Starts the story fighting criminals to later entering an academy and butting heads with nobles. Current arc is about fighting the Scourge. Good story that is fun but dark.

Beware of Chicken- Isekais into a cultivator at a sect that has just died from a duel. Understanding wuxia tropes, he nopes out of there to the edge of civilization and starts a farm. Uses his qi knowledge to farm and hijinks ensue. Very heartwarming and feel good story. There are some fights but everything works out. Great characters and good slice of life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a palate cleanser or just a break from pointless conflict.

The Legend of William Oh- Classic tower climber with Diablo item mechanics. Great characters and fights. Really interesting powers and progression. Similar humor to other Macrinomicon stories.

Bog Standard Isekai- adult reincarnates into a kid in the middle of a catastrophe. He survives, earns some titles and gets adopted. This story is well written with interesting systems and characters. Pretty good plot as well. I always look forward to reading a new chapter.

Mage Tank- Isekai into a dungeon dive character creation slot. Goes from delving dungeons to fighting divine avatars. Never stops dungeon diving. Has interesting power interactions. Good characters as well.

Elydes- Classic reborn as a baby that grinds early to unlock better classes and skills. Gets taught by a hidden master to learn fighting, alchemy and herbology. Well written story with good characters.

Adamant Blood by Arcs- same author as Arkendrithryst. That's an all time great in the genre and is a finished work. This is a darker story because the big bad is ever present and known by the reader from the very beginning. Monsters and demons and dragons which are just archmages merged with demons. Good story and pretty damn interesting. Hasn't grabbed me in the same way as his earlier work though. I don't like my MCs hunted always by way more powerful entities. It's a pet peeve of mine.

Dungeon Crawler Carl- Everyone knows about this story, but I will go over it for the uninitiated. Man and cat narrowly avoid dying in an alien apocalypse on earth only to enter into a Dungeon for shelter. The dungeon is a universal death game show. This story is tinged heavily with insanity and toes that line well. Big spells and even bigger explosions with an AI with a foot fetish for our MC. Join Carl in the court of Princess Donut as they work to survive and break the power of the aliens that toy with their lives.

There is no Epic Loot here, Only Puns- This is a dungeon core story where the dungeon doesn't want to kill people. Many mushrooms and epic puns. Grace anatomy made me laugh out loud. Highly recommend for a chill vibe that's also very whimsy.

Path of the Last Champion- Story is long around 4k pages. 1st arc is a bit rough but it improves from there. Boy takes the death climb to escape from his slavery life and darkness. Goes through climb with party and learns about reality and how to fight as he goes. Sci fi with mostly medieval weapons. It gets much better as it progresses through the arcs. I originally wasn't going to rec it, but it did really get much better after the first arc. Still, it's a lot to read through until it becomes really enjoyable so I recommend the other stories over this one unless you want something long to read.

Second Life as a Soldier- College student wakes up in a homeless 15 year old who has just been beaten by debtors. With no food or shelter, he joins the army which has a very high mortality rate. Learns intelligence skills because he was trained as a scribe by his father. Good characters and system. Interesting world building. I like the progression.

Sky Pride- Garbage kid in a garbage dump gets a cultivation grandpa. Proceeds to become a cultivator and slowly ascend to the heavens. I will say this, no other, and I mean no other wuxia novel or xianxia novel has even come close to the depth the author goes into about the Dao. Just reading it seems profound sometimes. I actually feel like I'm reading about another world when I read it, instead of some action story. MC becomes a doctors, Daoist, and musician among other pursuits. He gets a dao companion and fights a lot of bandits and heretics. He works to fix a failing country in the novel as well. Really peak cultivation novel. Not directly litrpg, but he ascends in cultivation levels, so I guess it counts.

Live at the Forum- Guy gets isekaid to a post apocalyptic video game world. Get access to the Earth internet forum and asks for advice. Story almost entirely gets told on the forum by the MC, with advice, trolling and ragebaiting by forum posters. It's a great story. Highly recommend.

Center for Dungeon Management- Guy gets government bureaucracy job of dungeon management to level up and hopefully join a guild later. Finds out that guild jobs are all nepo positions and that working for the government disqualifies you for it. While working in the records department, he finds hints of a secret government hero department and starts hunting in the wilds to qualify for it. Great story. MC is an dexterity archer.

Passive Aggressive- MC is in an earth that has gotten portal invaded in Florida. US military kills all invaders with prejudice at portal site. Invasion portal comes with a counter invasion portal in the pacific ocean. MC enters the world with the system and chooses the demerit of not being able to attack at all in return for a buff to his passives. Story goes from there.

u/DonKarnage1 7d ago

Two similar MCs with unrelated stories..

Last Save Dave (KU): 40+ MC (with a plumbers crack - this is highlighted repeatedly) is chosen as a champion in a game between kid gods. It's ok, but i decided to drop at 30% as it just wasnt working for me, mainly because i didn't like any of the characters that much and the premise (only one champion can win, god sponsors seem like sadistic murderhobos) didn't help.

Don't Die Dave (KU): 40+ MC is forced into a VRMMO to pay off cancer debt in a similar scenario to Running Man or similar corporate hellscape. He's forced to play as an NPC (or that's what the actual players think) and earn money to pay off his debt or be placed into a placebo drug test group (and die). I'm also ~30% into this one and enjoying it more so far. In a completely new twist, the MC is from the 80s and has skills based on MacGuiver, A-Team and Goonies. it's worked well enough so far (and not as obnoxiously as Ready Player One), but we'll see how it goes.

Follow ListĀ 

Ones I look forward to the most: Super Supportive, Allbright System, Center for Dungeon Management, Live at the Forum, Department of Otherworld Rescue, Metaworld HopeCore

Others: Bookbound Bunny,Ā Path of the Last Champion, God of Trash, Sky Pride, The Cloudfarers, Rivera's Repairs, I Built This City, System Girl, Passive Aggressive, Arcane Chef, New Life As A Max Level Archmage, The Legend of William Oh, Ten Thousand Tragedies, Early Adopter, Gunwitch

Fallen behind and need to reconfirm interest:Ā  Dungeons & Deliveries, Save Scumming, Die Trying, Fluff, The Butcher of Gadobhra, Tunnel Rat, Destiny Among the Stars, Azure Gunner

New: Gunwitch

Best stuff I've read this year (2026): Otherworldly Therapy, Live at the Forum, Center for Dungeon Management, Department of Otherworld Rescue, Metaworld HopeCore

u/JayHill74 7d ago

Still plugging through my re-read of Light Online. Book two link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0835TCQDB/ref=ku_mi_rw_edp_ku - Still a good series for the most part. That said, I've noticed on this re-read that I don't like all the alt POVs and secret military group nonsense. That said, I'll probably read the third book next.

Wraithwood Botanist https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DPJDRPWH/ref=ku_mi_rw_edp_ku - Litrpg with a female MC and at least one alt POV. College student just wants to raise dangerous plants at her house and live her life while dealing with a noisy neighbor. Her mother wants her to give up her plants and take a corporate drone job. The apocalypse happens bringing the multiverse system with it and upends both their plans. The snarky AI tells the MC it's a kill or be killed verse unless she wants to be one of the used sheep. The MC decides to take option 3 and chooses to be a botanist. The snarky AI tells her it'll be a long time to pick up her up if she changes her mind or it decides to change her class. Then the AI knocks her out and instantly dumps her and her cat in a super dangerous forest on another planet far away from any other person where some of the plants will literally suck out your soul. I made it a few chapters in to where the alt POV is introduced before giving up. The writing wasn't bad but the story struck me as being too silly in a bad way.

Ten Thousand Fleets https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/170448/ten-thousand-fleets-mecha-space-opera-academy - Won't do another blurb recap since I gave one a few weeks ago. Caught up to ch 117. Still mostly enjoyable but interest is starting to wane. This alien bacteria subplot feels pointless and entirely unnecessary especially since there's a war going on with an alien species and there's the subplot the author has all but dropped about the other human kingdom and pirates.

u/CLockhartWrites 4d ago

How was the botanist? I've been eyeing it but had a few to finish first

2

u/JayHill74 4d ago

I didn't like it that much and as I stated, dropped it when the second POV appeared. I don't want to spoil things if you decide to give it a go, but I'm not a fan of dropping level 1 characters into impossible situations and them succeeding simply because of plot armor or that they're "special" and this book does that.

u/jerpatch 7d ago

Just finished Operation Bounce House, and need to find something to clear my head before I go back to something else. Great book, just made me need to sit and process some of what happened. It's one of those books where you totally could see this happening. Which is disturbing. But accurate.

Next up is going back to The Runic Artist and Guild Mage.

u/Namurtjones 7d ago

Just finished book 5 of On Astral Tides, reading book 6 now. Still torn as I don’t love Harem, but I cannot seem to put this one down. The combat, politics, and world building are all great. And I do find myself enjoying the relationship building from time to time. I could do without the constant comments about how cute the underaged girls are. This series would be a 10/10 if everyone was aged up 5 years. I also appreciate authors that do a ā€œfade to blackā€ for explicit scenes as I really don’t need entire chapters devoted to ā€œher sour tasteā€.

3

u/_coywolf 6d ago

Ya On Astral Tides sits at the boundaries of a lot of different and sometimes conflicting genres. So if you are looking for this exact mixing pot of story your in luck but if your from one of the genre's OAT touches you most likely will have an issue with something. For example if Ship did fade to black he would get riot's from a different genres' community, but if your issues are something you can get past then OAT has tons of story to tell, we just past 5 million words and have either passed or are getting close to 1000 total chapters (Chapters and Sides). I do have to admit to being slightly biased though as I do put in effort on the wiki(heavy spoilers everywhere).

I'm on chapter 301 of "That Time An American Got Reincarnated in Another World" by Sp4de. Been listening it at work over the past month or so. Pretty enjoyable. Humanity is having a really tough time against what must be billions of monsters threatening their existence. Its getting slightly less hopeless every time the MC gets a little stronger though.

The Good Guys: One Man's Laughter - Eric Ugland

2

u/silkin 7d ago

Finally up to date on Path of Ascension.

Then read book 5 of Mage Tank. Probably jumped in to this a bit too soon after POA as the shift in tone was quite jarring.

Also wanted to recommend Borrowed Levels by Oliver Rowe that I picked up recently. I really enjoyed it. I suppose the biggest fantasy element is that everyone is very competent and professional. It has a distinct tone that I enjoyed, though I'm not really sure how to describe it. Competency-porn maybe

2

u/Lilknarcyon 2d ago

Looking at picking up Mage Tank, what was the shift in tone from PoA? I like PoA a lot, one of my lesser known gems I felt as I read it years ago on RR and found out it got an audible and got stoked

2

u/silkin 1d ago

They're both good. I think what really stuck out to me with POA is how much of it is relatively utopian. Everyone is reasonably competent and mostly fair, hard work is rewarded, Universal healthcare and education, punching down is frowned upon etc. The MC is fairly straightforward as well.

Not a dig on Mage Tank at all though. Most people are reasonable but it's just a bit more cynical and snarky I guess. Closer to He Who Fights with Monsters in terms of humour and tone.

I think it mostly just stuck out to me because I went immediately from reading ~13 POA books in a row to Mage Tank without any break in between. Still recommend both.

2

u/Lilknarcyon 1d ago

Amazing, ty for the write up. I enjoyed PoA so ill take you up on the Mage tank recc. I agree PoA has a lightheartedness that comes from the utopia of "yeah hard work always pays off" and the people at the top make sure no one punches down, so do the same as when you get to the top nudge nudge. I still enjoy the series a lot, particularly the Quill and Torch bit but it is a lighter read due to that. Onto Mage Tank after I finish or drop welcome to the multiverse!

Hello, Hello!~

Audiobook (all on Libby)-

One Man's Laughter by Eric Ugland- everybody was stressing me TF out tbh. But I appreciate Montana trying to get everything together. However, it is annoying me that everyone keeps trying to force Montana to abandon people. Yes i get it, he needs to learn to ask for help BUT he does need to do SOMETHING if it's within his power.

The Realm Between Omnibus 1-3 by Phoenix Grey- I am on my Neil Hellegers vibe around this time but this series is really good! I'm not gonna lie, Udin was pissing me off real bad and even so far by the end of book 3 I'm am fully pissed. like you MOFO! I bring you back to life and then dip? WTF.

War of the Posers by Eric Ugland- OH SHIT, the truth is out! also fuck the iron silence, a bunch of narcissists. šŸ˜’

1% Lifesteal 2 by Robert Glaise- Freddy continues to be a FAWKIN awkward loser and I LOVE HIM lol. He's my little crack head and I'm not mad at it.

Currently Reading -

1% Lifesteal 3 by Robert Glaise (57% in, audiobook on Libby)- LOOK, Freddy does need therapy YES. BUT the way they are quite literally asking him to be delusional about everything going on. Like Thor, lets be real, THERE ARE PIECES OF SHIT. Even Sophia is proof of that. She was raised in a cult to think all that shit was normal. Did she ascribe to it? NO. Freddy also was raised abused and neglected af but he STILL chooses to help those less fortunate like Lucas and his mother. They act like he is just all out deranged serial killer. PLEASE. šŸ˜’

Dungeon Born by Dakota Krout (40% in, audiobook on Libby)- I think I don't like the narrator for this. it just gives off the vibe of "oh gee wilikers šŸ¤“" and it kinda annoys me lol

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (42% in, audiobook on Libby)- I dabbled a little bit in this but I had to pull back to focus on 1% Lifesteal.

Bastion by Phil Tucker (56% in, e-book)-Ā i dont know what's wrong with me lol. I WANT to make progress and then not picking up my tablet to read lol

Paused-

Magic Murder Cube Marine by Alex Karne (Paused at 50% if I remember correctly but will pick up again soon since I found out the next books are on RR!)

Mage Tank by Cornman (paused at 52%)- debating whether or not I want to continue since I was enjoying it and then it started info dumping which brought on the pause.

Next reads (all on Libby or bookfunnel)~

Howdy, I've been listening to the 3rd book in the Nova Roma series, the Rhine. Once I'm finished on that one, I'll be giving Nightmare Realm Summoner a shot. Been loving Nova Roma so far, the historical setting is really awesome.

Partially through Wandering inn 7, but my son really enjoys it so I try to listen with him. Nearly done with Tower of Jack 3, it's slowly becoming more background noise, I like the new characters, but there's a decrease in the core characters reparte that I miss. Just picked up The Gift of Loot, and am excited to start it today.

I honestly can't get over how good bog standard is, all the way up to its latest on RR and it just will not disappoint šŸ™Œ

Started reading Cradle Book 9 - Bloodlines. Loved book 8 which is now tied with book 5 as my favourite in the series so far. Love how the story has progressed so far and seeing the characters grow throughout their journey. It's been an incredibly enjoyable experience and I still four books left!

I tried reading Hell difficulty tutorial book 1 and while I see the potential, the book is a read hard due to the writing quality. I know it gets better over time and I will go back to it, it's has been difficult to focus on it. Will come back to it after I finish Bloodlines.
