I’ve also had decent results so far. I’m not going to take an LLM’s word for anything, but a lot of the recommendations I’ve received were for books I’d already read and enjoyed so they’re not completely useless in this regard.

So been offline for a while (looks like 4 months since I logged in.) I finished the series and was left fulfilled, but also really pissed off LOL! Do I regret the journey? No, I don’t think so. To the contrary I’m actually thinking about picking up the next book in the universe which I believe is a compendium of short stories that take place during and after the main series. It took me a little time to come to terms with the fact that it was always going to end the way it did, and that it wasn’t so much about what happened, but how and why. It was a confessional, not an adventure. Once I got there, my opinion about the entire series has softened. It really made me mad at times but overall it was worth it.

Meanwhile I get pissed off whenever I talk to AI about books I’m reading because they have no idea of the concept of spoilers, they consistently simp to my opinions and when they spew falsehoods and “misremember” facts from books I’ve already read, they simply say "GREAT CORRECTION! I WAS SO WRONG THERE, YOU’RE RIGHT, PROTAGANIST DIDN’T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3. MY LAST 2 PAGE SYNOPSIS ABOUT HOW PROTAGANIST DIED IN CHAPTER 3 IS A BIT INCORRECT, AND NOW HERE’S A 300 WORD ESSAY ON HOW I NEVER ACTUALLY SAID PROTAGONIST DIDN’T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3!

Seriously. How can anyone talk to an LLM and not feel like they’re talking to a glorified phone answering computer?

Just got caught up with the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and desperately awaiting book 8. I’m not a fan of LitRPG but hot damn it hits different.

Meanwhile I’m working my way through the Sun Eater series. Super morose and way *too full of self-reflection but it’s definitely grabbed my attention. and kept me wanting more.
