Litrpg system

[DireBadger]

He was dissing the Robin Hood movie that came out a year or so before with Mel Gibson, who spoke with an American accent -- while the rest of the cast didn't.

You dare correct me?! Hahaha!

You are right! Take that!

But uhh... I think it was Kevin Costner, not Mel Gibson :)

My biggest problem with the Costner movie was not the lack of tights, or the bad acting and bad accent, but rather the inclusion of 'Azeem'.
Of course, seeing Christian Slater as Will Scarlet toss Costner over a wall with a catapult and say "F** me, he cleared it!" was kinda worth a lot, as was Alan Rickman, by far the best actor in the whole movie.

Sorry, didn't mean to knock the discussion off-track.

Mine doesn't have a pop-up, at least for the MC - because he's using the system in a way it was never intended (from inside) so can't use the cute interfaces and such the regular users have access to...

Which book? between worlds? I am interested! LitRPG is still young enough that subverting the tropes is fun!

Nah, the new one, Digital Cowboy. Might not be in my sig yet, come to think of it.

Edit: It wasn't. Is now

LOL!

Ah! You're right, it was Kevin Costner. My bad.

My biggest problem with the Costner movie was not the lack of tights, or the bad acting and bad accent, but rather the inclusion of 'Azeem'.

My guess is that he was in there for the same reason Netflix has a very...eclectic cast in everything they produce. At least Azeem was played by an excellent actor.

Of course, seeing Christian Slater as Will Scarlet toss Costner over a wall with a catapult and say "F** me, he cleared it!" was kinda worth a lot--

I loved that part.

--as was Alan Rickman, by far the best actor in the whole movie.

Rickman was HOT in that movie, and yeah, he pretty much took over the the movie -- just as he almost took over the Harry Potter movies. The man is an absolutely brilliant actor. He plays his characters believably.

Just keep in mind, LitRPG readers are usually quite good with numbers, and they know how multipliers stack up.

If they don't know how they stack up, they would try to figure it out.

If the math doesn't match, they will let you know.

You have not read much litrpg I take it?

no, I don't really need to delve deeper into the genre to know the general theme of LitRPGs.

There are hundreds of clever systems, from cultivation 'ranks' to lotuses that pop up over people's heads, bracelets that read your 'stats', armor suits that can detect and tell you where your energy is going, 'god systems' that give you feathers representing various elements as you advance, power rings that let you shift your own energy, to hard-working dudes that test their own capacity and write down mathematical formulae for their own growth and advancement in a notebook.

Add to that card-based systems, gem-based systems, tattoos, 'shrines' that tell you what's going on with your advancement, magical items, spells that literally show you, the 'systems' are almost as limitless as the authors that write them.

Sure, a lot of them default to the pop-ups, but my first litrpg book involved the character turning an entire nebula inside of his 'soul space', where each 'star' represented a skill or talent, into his own version of a giant marble character sheet that he used illusions to create inside of his own realm, using Mnemosene's (The greek demigod of knowledge) help.

This might seem to be something a published novel would have, but web novel in general? It's a rarity, and probably a niche of its own. Maybe it flies under my radar but who knows.

Most of the time, whenever I read stuff involving LitRPG, it will always be more on the ethereal screen and less on a physical screen. Unless we're talking about Pokemon or beast taming theme in general, then likely it'll stay the same, because admittedly, it's convenient.
