>Lit RPG
I hate that I enjoyed this.
Most of us would die on the first two floors, I think a better question would be how well would the last vidya character you played deal with it?

>implying anyone on /v/ would be outside the house to begin with

Probably most would get filtered by floor 2 , where the boss fuckery begins

Would cruise through floor 1 and would be wiped out when ammo runs out on floor 2. Maybe a few of the troops will get lucky with the drops but , eh.

The last character I played as was a WoW character, so it would entirely depend on level scaling.

The current undisputed king of litrpg. Decent first book ( i don't get why people like it so much) but then it gets awesome

Earth is destroyed , survivors enter a 18 level dungeon where if they survive they get Earth back. Everything is televised to the rest of the galaxy , with sponsors ala Hunger Games. Carl is the protagonist.

Isekai: Westoid Edition. We have a lot of shit like that, it's always some absurd scenario where a normal guy gets thrust into a fantasy scenario. Usually ours don't involve reincarnation.

Loser protagonist gets yeeted out of his shitty life, sent to a far off land where his video game skills make him a God among men.

It's really popular for some reason

Aliens invade and take over earth. Not for resources, but to run an absurd reality TV show. The Protagonist, Carl, enters it by accident without any pants, which the AI running the show decides will be His Thing from then on. The RPG mechanics exist specifically as a conceit of the game show in areas under the control of the AI. It contrasts the zany absurdity of the premise with the grim reality that they're trapped in a death game for the amusement of the equivalent of alien zoomers who see them as subhumans.
Also, the AI is batshit.

I feel comfort knowing that Lit RPG exist. People mock japan for the shitty light novels, but at the end of the day, we also have those.

So it's a ripoff of Omniscient Reader and The World After the Fall? Americans are more creatively bankrupt than chinks at this point.

Omni doesn't have any hunger games elements and there is no preventing tbe apocalypse. It happens in the first page.
After the fall is again nothing like it and if eas published a few years after DCC.

Yeah, Lit RPG is our "light novel" slop. I think Carl is fun, but it'll never be considered "good".
Also, the fanbase are the worst thing you'll ever see. It's a sea of trannies and blue hairs, which is weird because some of the villains are women and they die as horribly as the men. One even gets a super-STD that lights her cunt on fire, but I guess the lefties are fine with this because it's an insectoid alien?

I'm on book 5 of this and it hasn't turned me off so far. But it's pretty much just western isekai that takes a while to get to the power fantasy part. How long before they fuck it up with a bad romance subplot?

Can we agree that the last book was kinda bad. Having most of the plan discussed in that little war room, hidden from the reader isn't very good writing. There's only so much you can keep hidden without the reader not even understanding the goals, and this last book blew past it. Also, trying to tie up so many storylines while making new ones just made the book feel bloated. Hopefully the next one is better.

An actual game based on DCC would be awesome, very hard to pull of though.

I've never liked movies/books with extreme violence/gore/sex. I mean I'm okay with action and characrers suffering, but stuff like this and The Boys just has no value in my eyes.

Book 5 is the best one. 6 is okay, although the audiobook is great due to that guy who voiced Kronk in Emporer's New Groove being one of the villains, and book 7 was disappointing but floor 9 was never going to live up to expectations.
I dropped the series first attempt because the first book is so fucking bad. It got so much better from book 2 and onwards though.

I start trying to blow everything the fuck up like Carl would.
If I fuck up I die instantly and don't get mauled or melted by a fucking llama or have my blood boil in my body because a fairy is pissed at me.
If I don't fuck up I blow up rooms and rooms of monster babies and rack up the sponsors.

No

One girl loved him, but he didn't feel the same way about her. She tried to wish for his children, but he wasn't really human anymore (prime something I think), so it didn't work.

Only thing that nigga got on his mind if how he can save everyone since the humans in the RPG towershit goes from 15 billion to less
