#1 DarkFact
I can keep a tally of users and total books they've read, just drop in here and say what you read and what you thought about it, should be a fun discussion I think. Oh, and I guess let me know how many systems you own or something. Maybe you'll win a prize! Probably not. Read books because it's the Chad thing to do on a website about trading videogames.

i just added it to my wishlist. sounds pretty interesting. LitRPGs are hit or miss for me. They can be done really well though, and like you said, it has crazy good reviews
others that i really like are:
-The Gam3 (3 books, and i'm not sure if he'll ever finish the series)
-Ben's Damn Adventure

There certainly are a lot of LitRPG books. Not sure if I'll bother with anything besides Dungeon Crawler Carl

It's mostly something to listen to driving to and from work. Music gets boring sometimes.

I just finished Hilarity Ensues by Tucker Max. My friends and I found these stories hilarious when we were teenagers in college and he was still updating his webpage. This is his 3rd book so it's more of the same drunken debauchery. While some of situations are still humorous it is crazy to read these stories from a different perspective 15+ years older.
I give Tucker Max credit for monetizing his lifestyle and essentially creating a new genre of writing. There is no doubt he knows how to tell a compelling story. However, so much of it comes off as a desperate douche trying to justify being a rude and selfish person. It's hard not to imagine a lot of the stories are embellished and that the actual situation was actually just an unpleasant ride for everyone involved (including Tucker most of the time).

I've read several and was wondering how Skyward compares.

I've read several and was wondering how Skyward compares.Only a handful so far. Elantris and The Reckoners Series (4 so far). Stormlight Archive and Mistborn are also on my list. Same feel of the Reckoners books (kid with a grudge learns that they know nothing from competent adults) with good world building and character development. Going through this book and the first couple chapters of the second book so far, I'm definitely interested in where things are going and looking forward to going through it all.

Finished up Starsight by Brandon Sanderson, book two in the Skyward series. Seems to me like all of the books in this series are going to have a completely different feel to them, while making the world bigger and bigger. definitely recommend

Wayboud, Book 12 of Cradle by Will Wight
I think next, I'm actually gonna tackle all the Berserk Hardcover volumes I got and maybe read something else since I'm not bringing Berserk into work with me on the days I have to go in.

There was a library on the ship I was on, so I read Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide, which was quite good. (It's like Hogwarts for murder training.) Here's the super weird part: when I looked up the author to see if he'd written anything else, I discovered that he wrote one of the worst songs ever: Escape (The Pina Colada Song).

Or are you saying that completing a second book will be difficult?

Sorry. I could have described that better. No magic. Everything that happens is technically possible. I just meant that the school is like Hogwarts in the sense that it's a secret, exclusive school that only certain people are allowed to know about that is expensive and fancy. Without giving too much away, the book is basically a guide for people who can't attend the school but tells the story of three people who attended as examples of what to do and what not to do. There's a twist ending as well that's logical within the world the book creates but still took me a bit by surprise. I would recommend it if you like dystopian fiction.
