If you want more RoyalRoad popcorn fantasy about some loser getting stronger, I've recently been genuinely surprised by how much I've enjoyed something called Bog Standard Isekai. It's one of those worlds where the gods have set up everyone with Classes - which is something I've never read before but have been vaguely aware of and I did not like the idea. But once you accept the oddness of that premise, the world it makes is surprisingly interesting and well-thought out and the intersect between 'this is a real world with real people' and 'job system yo' is pretty good: I was worried the fight scenes would read like an MMO chat log but it's really not the case.

As you've imagine not everyone wants to go into the forest to die hunting monsters and 'heroic' classes tend to be quite rarely offered anyuway, most people have normal classes like 'Carpenter' or 'Blacksmith', which get experience from actually doing those things. Other people are not okay with dying as a level 30 Washerwoman and will accept upgrades into classes which reward evil behaviour with power and end up hiding what the system says their class is to avoid being smited. One unusually high level guy talks about how once he levelled up his Inspect skill enough he found out that everywhere he looked he saw people who suddenly read as Undead, Cultist, Murderer, etc. and realized that all of their society is really just an elaborate game of werewolf.

It's not gonna set the world on fire or anything, but after Mother of Learning nothing else on RoyalRoad has caught my interest so strongly. Though if anyone has any other suggestions Im all ears.
