I recently put Unsouled on my TBR. I definitely wanna read that one!! I haven't found any mind-blowing books lately...so sad :( I feel a reading slump coming on :O Great August wrap-up :D

I believe the sub-genre is called RPGLit. Great wrap up!

So LitRPG is the subgenre you are thinking of but it's not actually how Will Wight describes the Cradle series. LitRPGs tend to be too focused on the RPG mechanics of a video game. He describes Cradle as a Progression Fantasy. A fantasy series that has a measurable power growth incorporated into the magic system. A writer colleague of his, Andrew Rowe, did a great blog post on what it includes and how it's different than regular LitRPGs. It would be considered the same sub-genre as Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives.

Somehow I’m still missing the logic of not feeling anything so you’re not trying any new books…. I think that’s the only way you could find something to feel for again…

So, what do you do apart from running this channel? I'm curious.
